wsc updates

Well, in just two weeks time it's the 4th quarter, and no news of a finished product in time for the holiday shopping season as we've been promised by the West brothers. And whatever happened to the demo that I first read about more then 2 years ago? Now the rumors are starting to circulate WSC has been cancelled. Is this another one that bites the dust ? Tracker99

Congratulations on helping perpetuate those rumors. *-*-*-*-*-*-* Todd Walker http://twalker.d2g.com Canon Pro90IS: http://twalker.d2g.com/pro90/index.htm *-*-*-*-*-*-*

Joel.... I never saw a "promise" from the West brothers about any release date for WSC. Especially not one targeting this holiday season. Where did you read or see this promise? Perhaps all of us just missed it (except for you)? Demo? There was no "promise" of such a thing either. There's been lots of speculation.....and based on the experience I have of other sim developers eventually publishing demos of their new releases......one might reasonably expect to see a WSC demo sometime near and around the final product release date. However, there's nothing about the industry S.O.P. of releasing demos near product release dates....that requires the West brothers to follow it. Is there? It seems to me your post is nothing more than a fishing expedition for the latest "news" on WSC progress. Perhaps you'd be more successful by just asking that question(s) in plain and simple language. I would do it something like this: "What's the latest information regarding WSC development progress? Has there been any news about the production and release of a WSC demo?" See how easy that is to write? It also has a benefit to you of allowing individuals who have the information you are seeking to provide it to you without having to waste time "reprimanding you" for spreading rumors, dis-information and innuendo about WSC. Okay, that's it. My self-imposed limit of 20-lines or less for all my r.a.s. posts (replies) is used up. I would have liked to have given you the information you wanted about WSC, but there's not enough space. Regards, Tom

there they go off again on the deification of the west brothers, who until now have only published pretty pictures. sudesh "Tom Pabst" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:sz6n7.63588$[email hidden]... > Joel.... > > I never saw a "promise" from the West brothers about any release date for > WSC.

This was answered about 6 weeks ago: http://www.simracingmag.com/wsc/articles/01q3/wsc_latest.shtml

Well Tom, if you drop all the silly of topic post - you could prbably strech that limit to 30 lines and give the man a proper answer! ;-) -- ed_ "Tom Pabst" wrote: > Okay, that's it.

Ed, my post wasn't meant to be snotty or anything like that, sorry if you took it that way. I was just trying to show, to those that missed it, what the latest answer is to his development progress question. Chalk it up to a language thang... ;) Cheers, -pierre

Looks like Active labs has a copy of WSC: http://www.act-labs.com/race10.htm --- Posted via news://freenews.netfront.net Complaints to [email hidden]

yes ive played it (and liked it) as i described in this forum a few times already. It was largely ignored (as often when RAS gets a sense of actual content). Go look it up in a archive if you like. Martijn Kirk House heeft geschreven in bericht <3b9d1f07$0$41810$[email hidden]>...

Martijn, Don't worry, those with an interest in serious simulation noticed and respected your comments. Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn.

Hmmm... I'm probably not allowed to say what I saw when I saw it and where I saw it... Damn :) Phil Art McEwen wrote:
