its a mclaren F1 now
Flame warWSC vapourware sceptics challenged ahead of West announcement
Douglas Ellison named people who had called WSC vapourware, expecting them to back-pedal. Sceptics replied that nothing had shipped and the Wests had cancelled projects before, and redTed exchanged insults with Gerry Aitken. Jokes followed about space sims and the site's 404 car.
Automated summary.

All people who a quick Google search will show think WSC will never be
released.

We're not wrong, yet. The Wests have stopped development on a game
prior to WSC. Using their past as a reference point, it's not out of
the question that what was started as WSC may not be released. If they
have to "start over" from scratch because of code licensing, then I
would consider those folks vindicated.

Or - alternatively - that they were always wrong because despite what Empire
has thrown at them they've come thru regardless?

Personally I can't believe any of these sim racers would have any wish
to be vindicated. Unless Papy are working on something we don't know
about, fans of true racing sims wanting something different from Nascar
seem to only have WSC on the (hopefully not too!) distant horizon.

Darn, we ARE bored waiting for WSC...

"I don't think I was being especially rude.
So, there was a playable preview at LAST year's E3, but nothing this year ?
That doesn't strike anyone as being slightly odd ?"
Whilst not out right statements of assuming it's vapourware - you can NOT
deny that you've thrown mud at the project like the others in the list with
you.

I think they must be working on the 'low grav' unit and the hermetically
sealed ports. Also the thrusters and retros 'cause time this sim gets
released we'd have conquered space travel:)
Ah, I get it now - IT'S A SPACE SIM!

I know that I've been looking forward to this game for a long time. I
still hold out hope that it not only sees the light of day, but meets
expectations. None of us want to see this thing shelved, but once
bitten twice shy.

Yeah ? Maybe I'll post some of those charming responses that you and the other moron,
jsimmons, replied with . My original post was nothing compared to those, was it Mr.
Arselicker ?

just been way to many let downs all ready to get to worked up. Right now
I'd still be skeptical if there would even be a CD in the box if I saw it in
a store shelf.

No change there then!

Yeah, I heard sometime in the next six months they will be releasing a
statement about the forums, and will probably have a demo of the forums up
at some unknown point in the future. Stay tuned for more info.

Why are we even bothering with this topic? After all, we all KNOW that
'somebody' is going to fire up WSC when it finally sees the light of day and
the first thing they will do is click on the 'drive outside the car by
remote control whilst hanging 10 or so feet above and behind the car'
button? Doncha all know that will just ruin it for
EVERYONE?????????????????

1. look in segway.vehicle file for:
allow speed limiter = 1
change to:
allow speed limiter = 0
2. Fire it up and head for the Ring! ;-)
