Actually, there was a patch released for N4 a day or two after it was on the
shelves.

Did you get all this insight & again distorted data from your last Ubi-Stock
Holders meeting? huh? huh?huh? <G> This is getting to easy anymore..lol

The AI crashes into each other on a regular basis, no help from me
needed. Explain that one Einstien.

Probably not, but I'm sure he'll get a free copy for service beyond
expectations.

The other 99.995% put the game on the shelf to collect dust.

It's us .005% who keep the industry in check. We, the internet
soldiers, who are willing to give up our social lives to make ***
better for all mankind. We, the few, oh so brave.

Not until after IL-2 Sturmovik and Lock On are released I hope.

Lock On ?

Besides acknowledgement of the bug(s) and them having people on the job,
there was nothing we needed to know. It's that trust thingy again... pretty
amazing stuff, ain't it? ;-)

Explain something to me... how come a bugfix needs to be checked when the
actual game, containing the bug(s) and therefore not a good representation
of F1, was passed for release?

I don't buy the FIA approval story. I would buy "it's proving more difficult
than we anticipated", but saying that would diminish their manlyhood, I
guess. <g>

Lock On is the next in the Flanker series - and will feature flyable Western
Aircraft (F15C and A10 to be precise) as well as a wider assortment of
Eastern hardware.

Dave
I know I get sucked into these ludicrously irrational threads at times
myself, but the best thing to do is try to ignore it.
It's still pretty weird though that some people experience this mega carnage
at T1 (regardless of circuit?) so often. Certainly doesn't happen with me,
you or many others. Do you think it's a setting issue somewhere?
Although we know the AI isn't right (although nothing like as bad as some of
the people say on ras) it's interesting to compare with F1CS (my current 2nd
favourite modern F1) which a lot of people here say the AI is near to
perfection. I think when people say perfection, what they mean is
forgiving. Try going down a straight in F1CS, ram on the brakes, and see
how many cars behind pile into you. The answer is none! No matter how
close they are, they all go round you. Realistic or what? Let's see a
driver try that at Montreal on sunday! Miss a gear in real F1 and you've got
someone up your ass!

This makes me curious.....

Does NASCAR have to check/"okey" the patches for N4?
Or what about all the teams? Do they have to okey a patch? I mean all of
them?
And then what about the manufacturers - there's another 5 that clearly got a
say. Not forgetting the driver's ofcourse.. add another 40 or so that have
to say the magic word. Then there's the track owners and then th... - oh,
wait - no - thats all I think.

Did Ferrari, Ford, Lotus, AAR etc. have to approve the patches for GPL??

Why the hell does the FIA have to "okey" a patch to F1RC??? Afaik - they
dont even own the commercial rights to F1! Nor is sim-racing a
FIA-sanctioned "sport".

I cannot understand why on earth FIA has to approve a *patch* to a game??
I mean - I seriously doubt that the FAA have to approve patches for MS
flight-simulator!
