ISI and Papy (Sept PC Gamer)

Wow, that quite a couple of bombshells in this issue. It's been posted elsewhere here about Papyrus (short story: Red Sox owner helped Kaemmer buy back thier code). (page 96 for those of you heading to a newsstand) The other news is Image Space Inc's new game, rFactor. It is going to be "a mixed-class circuit road racer" with "a target audience of PC race-sim aficionados, car enthusiasts, full-time racers, and even professional racing schools." Even better, it should be out before the end of the year. (page 49)

Sounds awesome, surprised no one else reported that. What's up with the entire sim racing development community pulling its shit together all at once? I'm almost expecting a new update on west-racing.com. Jason

What's up with Racer? Is it still in development? I thought the developer had moved on and is now working for the West brothers.

I'm sure there has been plenty of inovation squashed by the bean counters. Now that a Flight Simulator business model is in the works, they can work on a core product and sell addons without having to meet corporate schedules of a product each season. Do we owe this new-found freedom to the mod groups? dave henrie

Racer is in good health, and last I heard Ruud even made some money off it as the basis of a motion platform.

Not much is right...I hope they put something other than the noise on there soon as it sounds quite promising. Marc "Fatbob" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:fqQJc.27185$%[email hidden]...

I think the word got out. We're TIRED of "CC"(tm). That's Console Crap. -Larry "Jason Moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > What's up with the entire sim racing development community pulling its > shit together all at once?

Not possible. If the Racer developer was able to drive to the Wests development studio, they would have proven they were WAY too fast to be a part of the team, and would have been immediately fired. -Larry "Internet User" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > What's up with Racer?
