Being dropped in the middle of a group of Swiss-Germans with a basic knowledge of high German is also not "nice". "Today will I with the bus to the shop go".

and an addendum, since I dont speak german, there very well could be an option to enable a dash.. *shrug* ..Too bad I got stuck taking Spanish in HS instead of a "nice" language.. ;P

the readme says there are a number of features missing in the demo that will be included in the game such as a cockpit, damage modelling, weather. FF, flags etc. christian

It's kind of much easier to speak german after a litre of beer or three, you forget the rules and just speak. Did that alot at Oktoberfest last year :) -- Olav K. Malmin remove spam when replying

Well, to prevent misunderstandings: there's no government censorship, just an agency that prevents children from buying adult material, be it porn or videos or games. <soapbox mode on> Of course, the result of putting games on the index (no ads, no open sale of the game) is a major drop in sales. NOW the companies censor their games to prevent being put on the index instead of realizing that those games SHOULD be targeted at adult players. Some fucked up companies like Eidos and Activision even PROHIBIT game dealers from importing uncensored US versions for adult players. This problem will not be limited for much longer just to Germany, as British Columbia just put SoF on the "index". <soapbox mode off> I'm just glad there is no gore in racing sims...
