This is an appeal to Jacques Villeneuve to lift the monetary restriction on using his name in racing simulations. This is upsetting a lot of your supporters. We all know you earn a lot of money and we are pleased that you can be financially secure, but this is not the way to please your Canadian fans. I hope you will treat this request seriously. John Cookson (Canada)
All of my sims have Jacques Villeneuve leading the pack with all the right sponsors (and even the right helmet!) I don't think this is big issue. If he releases the copyright it may just open the floodgates for all kinds of nonsense. I respect his privacy.

Actually )*&(&^(*&%_ JV is a computer nut. And considering this IS THE F1 newsgroup I wouldnt be surprised if at least once in a while he does read some of this stuff... I guess***wad is smarter than you. but what does that make you then?.....Predickwad?

That's right- 'ol JV claimed "a computer video game" (which turned out to be GP2) helped him earn his first win at Hungaroring. He also said the he could never finish better thatn 6th or so in the game. I've also read in some UK Playstation mag that Damon and some other driver made requests to Psygnosis fro copies of their then upcoming F1 sim for Playstation. that sig needs some work,

I wonder how much he charged Mail Poste to make those stamps.... Maybe we should all wait for Jacques Villeneuve's Collusion F1 sim- duel for the championship and hand the race to Mika. Anyway, it matters not. I'm sure in a few months, there will be an editor, with proper car ads, helmets, etc. I hope Rebrica Saso has a 3Dfx card....then again, his GP2 cars looked so good, maybe we can all pitch in and get him one.

Actually Canada Post did not have to pay any royaltys or fees for useing Gills name. Jacques just let Canada Post use it (and if Jacques said no, the liberals qould just table a bill and push it through the house anyways) And I say to the first post that Jacques not lending his name and likeness to a computer *** company will get him to lose fans in Canada... Or the world for that matter. -- Andrew Perkins (Canada) ____ ICQ: 4274592 /__[]_[]__/ _ _ | |[]-----------------[]| | | |[]-----------------[]| | | |[]-----------------[]| | | |_____________________| | | | Production Manager | | | | DFL | | | |[link lost in import: /.|] | | | net/nwo/ | | |_|_____________________|_|

J'espre que les 4-5 autres Qubcois icit sur r.a.s. vont m'appouver sur ?a. JV est comme nous. Y ce fait pas marcher sur les pieds ! On te respecte comme personne et comme pilote.

(snip) (snap) Ben certain que chu d'accord, me semble que c'est juste normal qu'y veuille pas mettre son nom sur n'importe quoi... Pis en plus c'est pas un nom sans signification, y'a toute une histoire derriere ca... Reste quand meme que j'espere qu'y va y avoir un hacker quek'part qui va prendre les choses en mains pour qu'on puisse creer notre propre ecurie, pis aussi mettre notre propre nom, moi ca me fait ch... d'avoir a courser sous le nom d'un autre! Mais la... J'dis ca pis j'ai meme pas encore joue, ou meme encore vu la sim, alors j'vais quand meme pas partir en croisade tout de suite... eheh! Faudrait tout de meme que ca tourne su' mon P200 avec une Intense3D... Y parait qu'c'est lent meme avec une 3DFX, j'commence a avoir la chienne, j'veux pas etre encore pogne pour upgrader! Surtout que j'ai pas le cash pour le faire tout de suite... Au pire, j'vais juste me sentir comme quand GP2 est sorti, j'avais un 486 dx2/66 pis j'pouvais pas jouer en svga... Mais la avec F1RS j'pense que j'pourrai meme pas jouer en VGA! Y parait qu'y'a pas beaucoup d'options pour les details, qu'on peut pas enlever tout ce qui gobe du CPU... Bon, ca y'est j'm'emporte encore... Faut quand meme attendre que j'aie vu de quoi ca a l'air sur ma machine! Le probleme c'est que j'en peux pu d'attendre!!! A. Renault

(snop) (snup) En passant c'est dr?le de parler en Qubcoa, comme ?a mme les Fran?ais de France y peuve pas nous comprendre :-) (mais j'fais exprs pour crire mal !) Je suis sur et certain que Kekpart dans le monde entier y a quelqu'un qui est en train de travailler sur ?a. Peut-tre moi ?? :) J'sus un chanceux. No?l arrive pis j'vais avoir un nouvel ordi. "Brand new" Dell PII 300mhz STB Velocity 128 AGP pis tout le brouhaha de bblles high-tech ;-) Je n'aurai pas de problme avec F1RS. Je joue prsentement avec un P100, 2mb vido et 32mg de Ram pis ch mme pas comment ?a se fait que je puisse jouer. Aucun graphique en VGA environ 15fps (j'estime que). Pis le best c'est que ENFIN on peut dire que les Qubcois on "un peu" aider au jeu, car depuis 1an tout le jeu est code Montral au bureaux D'UbiSoft. Du testing jusqu'au codage. Mme les menu sont en Fran?ais !

Ouain ben j'pas trop sur de ca... Peut-etre que sy y nous entendaient dire la meme chose qu'y comprendrait rien pantoute, mais quand on ecrit les mots sont quand meme pas sortis tout droit de l'enfer, alors y doivent quand meme en comprendre des bouttes... Qui sait? Eheh... Mais quand meme, j'me demande si Ubisoft a pas encode ca trois fois a la demande de la FOCA... On sait jamais, c'est qu'y sont rendus puissants les tdc... Rhaaaaaa.... Maudit viarge de mardeux!!! J'ai pas c'te genre de cash la, moe chu encore pogne avec mon P200 (pogne avec... quand meme, ca fait meme pas six mois que je l'ai!) mais je commence a penser que ce qui m'handicape le plus c'est d'avoir juste une reactor et pas de carte 3DFX... La chu dans la marde parce que j'ai pas le cash que ca prend pour acheter une bonne 3DFX... Peut-etre que F1RS va me faire changer d'idee, ca reste a voir... J'me demande si c'est quand meme acceptable F1RS avec une rendition, j'ai pas vu grand monde parler de la performance en d3d... Ouain... J'ai vu ca une couple de fois a la tv, ca me faisait baver juste a voir les graphiques de c'te jeu la... Ostie que ca prends du temps sortir une sim astheure! R'garde Starting Grid de visiware, moi ca fait un sacrament de boutte que j'attends apres, pis y'ont toujours pas bouge... Y'etaient supposes d'annoncer leur distributeur au debut de l'annee pis on le sait meme pas encore! Le jeu a l'air pas pire, pis en plsu y va etre accelere pour les 3dfx, alors faut quand meme watcher ca... On s'en calisse! Ahahahah! A. Renault

Maybe that peroxide worked its way into poor ole Jacque's grey matter. What a wimp. I HATE sportsmen that do that kind if infintile thing. I'd rather not have them in my sims anyway.
> That's right- 'ol JV claimed "a computer video game" (which turned out > to be GP2) helped him earn his first win at Hungaroring. He also said > the he could never finish better thatn 6th or so in the game. Sim racers can do things with a sim that no real racer in his right mind would ever do. I think if I was a real F1 racer I might stay away from sims to ensure I did not get into bad habits and think that hitting a wall at 200mph was no big deal. Just hit restart and ..........Oops - I forgot this was the real thing.

Not to get in a big debate one way or another, but Dale Earnhart got screwed out of millions before protecting his name...Whatever the real reason, I'm sure JV has several besides a quick buck.
