Dave Noonan has already given the Sim Racing community so much for free and all of it superb quality. Because of his proven track record I had no problems paying for the GPL Converter. If you want Dave Noonan to continue working his miracles then I suggest you buy the converter from him. If you don't want to pay for it then you will have to go without.

Dave Noonan has worked very hard on his product, and it's entirely his decision how (or even if!) he makes it available. If he wanted to charge �200 and make everyone who got it sign a solemn pledge to shout "Koosh Ball" every time they used it, then he could.

Well, for the record, Riverside is an F1 course, as is the new Glen. Well, ok, the new Glen *with* the boot is an F1 course. Dave, can ya teak it for us? No 60's F1 track collection is complete without Riverside. Laguna Seca isn't an F1 course, but it's a mighty fine track and an international course at least. I have right here sitting before me an R&T report of a certain S. Moss winning the 1960 Pacific Grand Prix there. Ok, it was for sports cars, but there's really little to distiguish a Lotus 19 from an 18. Just a bit of extra space for your lunch box really. Of course, Laguna is also the site of the Monterey Historic meets, so damn near everything that's ever been made has been actually raced there in some form or another. Consider it an F1 vintage race and go for it.

I wonder why he didn't charge us for his new tracks? He should have done. I would gladly have paid for them. The guy's a legend! Alpha Omega E-Mail: [email hidden] ICQ: 70300233

Well we should be thankful he didn't make us pay for those initial tracks. I guess it must have been worth it for him as when the full converter came out we all knew that we were getting a quality product and there was no need to dabble with a Warez version to check that we wern't being ripped off.

Looks like he followed your advice, found it, and is now posting it here. I hope Mr. Noonan isn't so angry that he stops work on any future GPL gems.

Now I'm sick and tired of all the people that place Mr Noonan somewhere between God and Christ! The guy decided to SELL his software, so he's now part of the bad guys! I say, let's burn him with all the others! Where's the patch for that unuseable piece of crap he sells as a converter, eh?

Hum... Once again, Internet's multi-cultural barrier strikes... Maybe my english is not good enough to convey sarcasm... Ok then I'll explain: You guys are usually pretty tough critics for any sim developper that comes up. So I was referring to that toughness on developpers when I said that Dave (who is now a commercial software developper since he sells software that he develops) should receive the same tough critics as others do. And then, I advanced a few examples, wich are (or so I thought) quite familiar to us on R.A.S. : 1- Asking for a patch. That one's so obvious I shouldn't even explain but I will. When a new piece of software hits the rack, we usually find all the bugs within a few weeks and ask for a patch. Now since Dave's converter has been out for a few weeks I was asking where was the patch. That's the first place where people should be laughing, ar at least smiling. 2- Asking for someone to send a copyrighted program via e-mail. Now that is something I've seen so often but it still makes me smile when I see someone coming back with that scheme... People find the funniest excuses, like "my CD is scratched" or "I deleted it by mistake" or whatever. I agree that this one was not ment to inspire a loud burst of laughter, but still I wish some of you would've raised an eyebrow and smiled... Oh well... Maybe I'm not as talented as I thought I was... I think I'll just crawl under my desk now and disappear from RAS for a few months... Sorry Bruce...

By the looks of it, Track section 50 would have to be split up. The entrance would jet off of that and then section 53 or 54 would again have to be split up for the exit of the boot. From there, I would assume the rest of the sections would have to be remade or at least renumbered. I have in car video of the boot and could get many photos for it. I'm also sure that the Glen web page has elevation figures for it. If not, I can get it from the right people. So, everything that's needed is easily got with the exception of the programmer to do it.

Chris, Nowhere did I say anything about Dave working or not working on a patch... But from his previous work, I wouldn't hold my breath as he usually starts working on new stuff immediately after he releases something... But hey, we never know! I don't really know if there are any bugs tho since I can't race right now due to a steering wheel failure... I'm scared I'll lose my (already not so great) skills at driving a GPL car!
