guess the topic says it all? Just wondering when/if it will ever be released. I had been following the progress for a while and after a few more delays sort of gave up.. Anyone know?
It's slipped to Q3 2001. Andi. J. Clermonts <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3a44efb1$0$3813$[email hidden]...

Don't hold your breath. I'd make that Q4 if I were you. Hope the Westies have a good break over the festive period so they can attack 2001 with renewed vigour. Andrew BTW Just saw LA Confidential on tv. Bloody good film . Having seen Russell Crowe in it , I'll have to rent a vid of Gladiator soon .

Guys... problem is not West Bros holding the release... it's a combination of factors, for instance Empire Interactive wants simultaneous release of both PC and PS2 platform... so Q3 is the latest estimated release date. Eric http://www.simracingmag.com A Thomas wrote:

Any news on a planned Linux port? In an interview I read they said they were "interested in porting to other platforms, including Linux". A simultaneous release of a native Linux client together with the Windows version would be great news to the Linux community. cheers, uwe -- Uwe Schuerkamp http://www.schuerkamp.de/ GnuPG Fingerprint: 2093 20B8 B861 9358 A356 B01A E145 9249 5D27 33EA PGP Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

I asked them about this in one of the first chat sessions. They will first concentrate on getting the Windows version out, and then see what happens. So they didn't deny it, but not the opposite either :) A Linux server client would be great. IMHO the biggest problem with linux ports will be to make my MSFF work. Would be great to wipe the MS "OS" off my harddisk though... -- Olav K. Malmin remove .spam when replying
If they can produce a Server version that can run on 98/NT/2000/ME similar to the Rally masters Server, then we won't have a problem, because the stability is extremely good. Not requiring graphics, or sounds.. it is more than acceptable. A Linux port of the whole game is extremely unlikely, but a server port wouldn't be too hard (speaking from a non-programming, non-software development experience :))) because it is simply a 'packet exchanger', recieving and forwarding the relevant data to and from clients.
