There is nothing on the Usenet that forces somebody to reply to have a
correlation with the previous post he was replying to. It had a vague point
in common, and I expanded the thread into a bigger horizon.

Right you are. I think that the scepticism is about the company. The product may
well be a winner - or a FPS Football 2000!
LOL!
Cheers,

Agree wholeheartedly that one shouldn't criticise any software before it's
even released; that would be madness.
However the facts only promote feelings of pessimism as far as I'm
concerned; I thought GP3 was really GP2 with a 3dfx patch and weather....I
think the reason it was such a disappointment is that it was a long time
coming and the press had us believe Crammond et al were working their nuts
off over it. The reality was it was out of date at it's time of release, a
sin for any game.
Will GP4 be any different? Hmm.....
Congratulations on the GPL Proxy btw, great idea and nice code :) - [taking
a frank-like tangent in thread :)]
All the best,
Ash
someone who just talks about how it could
Well, no one's stopping you :) But if there weren't any people talking about
how it could be better, the people who make the stuff wouldn't have a clue
how to make it better. So we all need each other, in the end..!

Lol, ok then fair enough, your point about its even very difficult to make a
bad sim is something I was trying to say (less ellegantly of course!)
and yes, no-one is stopping me so thats why i am going for it :)

Just remember my wise words, and you'll be alright ;)

Lol, I will :)
Listen up.. A job is a job. Whether you are a computer programmer , an
office clerk, truck driver, brain surgeon or whatever. If you don't do your
job well, you should expect some kind of rebuke or criticism . People who
hand over the cash are perfectly entitled to criticize something as shoddy
as GP3 was.
Who the f*** said there were no major bug's in it ? I guess they didn't try
and configure a MSFF wheel in the game. HA !
Is that "nice code" because you read the code and though it was well-written
(apart from certain ugly bits such as the version-check)? Because the in-code
documentation was nice? Or because you felt it was a cool way to do
broadcasting?

do we still need to "learn another lesson "???
a man who repeats his folly
is like a dog who returns to his vomit
between getting the game
for the terrible network
had happened in between
before anyone here has
Grand Prix 1, the best simulator of its day
Grand Prix 2, the best simulator of its day, only really knocked off its
crown when GPL came out.
Grand Prix 3, a let down
so, 1 bad release (which thousands of people loved!) and we have a
folly? I think not.
