patch for F1 2000

Does some1 here know when this patch will be release. Because race in the external views without have speed and time lap is so a shame. I had e-mail EA many times but, as usual, no responses from these stupid bitches.

thats alright, only stupid bitches race outside the cockpit anyway. dave henrie Erwan Gourvenec wrote:

You're a drag, Dave Henrie. Go push some little kids around and steal their candy. --DK "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > thats alright, only stupid bitches race outside the cockpit anyway. > dave henrie

My point being.... Somebody DEMANDS something from a publisher. Then they insult them, even if the insult may have merit, it boggles me that folks get so upset they result to name calling to try and coerce action. I merely used his words against him. If that makes me a drag. so-be-it. Thanks for the input. dave henrie David Karr wrote:

Fair enough, and point taken. But if that was your point, you might have expressed it a bit more clearly instead of excoriating those who race "outside the cockpit" (myself sometimes included) in a desperate attempt to get reasonable framerates. --DK "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

A good reply. After your original post, I'm gonna wander off topic here, I thought of Longbow2. It has a fixed cockpit and one similar to what you prefer but the gauges are very tough to read. I prefer the Fixed view, but I have a friend who often flies multiplayer and he likes the Padlocked view. He routinely finds and kills targets much quicker than I. So I'm guessing the Padlock view in LB2 is similar to the cockpit view you prefer. Sorry for jumping down your throat. We have many levels of Customer service from the different companies that supply sims and it's easy to become frustrated when a LARGE company like EA won't match the service levels we have received from other companies. dave henrie Erwan Gourvenec wrote:

I have the right to insult EA because i paid a tons of money for their games which aren't be finished when they released them. I am waiting for the patch because i am angry about the fact that they prefer to release a piece of game too soon just in order to sell maximums copies. And when we pay a licensed game , i think (and it's written in the notice) that we have the right to have a technical support. But they are the only editor who never answered the e-mails or, when they do that, they only advise you to phone to a (very expensive) support number. WHAT A SHAME, don't you think ? It's all i would like to mention after your post. Chuck Kandler <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message : [email hidden]... > David Karr wrote: > > > > You're a drag, Dave Henrie.

I agree 100%. Part of the "contract" we enter into when purchasing their product is a "right" to any needed tech support. That you would be angry can also be understood. I'm just concerned that possibly the reason you didn't hear back from them may have been due to an insulting or derogatory hue in your message to them. That would also be understandable, especially if it was anything like your original post. =-) If you can see how that post came off to some folks, myself included, maybe you see where I'm going with this. However, I have no beef with you. Good luck in your quest for EA tech support. Just remember to keep your patience with them in your letters. ;-) -- Chuck Kandler #70 K&S Racing http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/thepits/195 Competitor in the TopGear MGPRS2 league at: http://topgear.dhs.org/ Come on & join the fun!

You never have the right to insult anyone...and don't forget that the problem you've with the game isn't the work of tech support.. You should be angry at yourself, because you didn't invest enough time BEFORE you bought F1-2000.... Remco

I'm sorry but how can i know on the game box that there are a big bug in the game (a lot of graphics weren't introduce in the game like speed, lap time, flags, etc... on the screen. For the respect of the players who buy the game, EA has to quickly release the patch. And no answer by their technical support is a shame. What is the goal of a technical support ? TO SUPPORT the buyers of the game. But they don't do anything !?! P.S: Thanks to Dave and Chuck. Remco Moedt <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message : [email hidden]...

Of course, i am not stupid, i haven't judge the potential of the game with the box. I have read a lot of previews on the net. But any of them mention all the bugs.

But i don't talk about missing features. When you look in the graphics files in your HD in the F1 2000 directory (by example gizmo.mas) you will see that a tons of features are present but not in the game. (congartulations cups after a win, speed and lap time on the screen with the external views, etc...) EA has to release the patch very soon.

Dave, I know some very fast drivers who prefer the outside view in GPL, Colin Taber being one of them. And if you've been around long enough, you know just how fast Colin is. Joel Willstein [email hidden]
