You forgot to add... "made by one of most unreliable developers seen this century." Anyhow, is this an upgrade to 1.03? I have a license for that version, which promised a lot and delivered nothing. Are you saying that I have to fork out more cash for something I should have gotten a long time ago? Alan

Yesterday the low price persuaded me to buy it, but the earth has -- so far anyway -- remained unmoved for me. :-) I may just be suffering from a Lotus79 hangover though. My latest trip to iLand expired at the weekend and the last thing I drove there was the 79 at Road Atlanta. It was a rather satisfying experience! Unlike the official race last week at Sebring. I hate that track with a passion. Anyway, hopefully without iRacing as a distraction for a while I can give NKPro a proper test. It's certainly an interesting project. Andrew McP

But after all this time only a new GUI, a new server and a few minor tweaks? The Hillclimb still isn't in? Somehow it makes me sad... Cheers! Remco

Kunos promises a lot and never delivers. I can say that here, 'cause if you go to a forum and say that, they will ban you. They aren't concerned with the truth. I mean, the guy would promise all these great things and then disappear for months at a time, without a word. And he's got his lackeys, which is very sad. Alan

The trick, as the West Brothers learned,v sadly, is to promise *nothing* until you are certain you can deliver it in a realistic time frame. As a one man project I have nothing but admiration for NKPro. As a sim though it has yet to snare my interest. It's early days though and I need to spend more time with it instead of spinning my way around the 'Ring in the Lotus 67 in rFactor. -> Andrew McP

There's no trick. If you say you're going to do something then it should be done. Saying your going to do something and then not doing it is simply deception, knowing full well that promises are being made with no intention of fulfilling them. Alan

You have proof is this in this case?

I too have an nkpro license tucked away somewhere, I think I didn't even try the latest patch (1.03) as the persistent online chaos kept me away from it. Having said said, those formula fords provide one of the most "raw" (for lack of other words, maybe "authentic") driving experiences I've had in any sim. Very promising, and while Kunos improves the product I'll happily wait for the next major release. 19 Euros sounds tempting, though. On another note, the recent Autosimsport issue got me interested in VGP3. Has anybody tried this? I was this short of buying it, but then I couldn't figure out how to get my g25 working with the "technical demo" you're supposed to run first before purchasing. Cheers, Uwe
