NO full Nordscheife in GPL! This ain't good! Response from Papy/Sierra?

Yeah, this'll be a great sim, and I'll buy the thing, but the lack of the 14-mile Nurburgring is a SERIOUS flaw. Is this a way to sell yet ANOTHER "Track Pack"? It's aparently a licensing issue, which is unfortunate, but still... So I'm a little pissed, but I don't want to be unfair.Let's hear from some Papy/Sierra guys in response.

Nordschleife wrote : See my post titled "No 'Ring in GPL ??????". You will understand that there is reason for what the track may not get into the full-product. If the track authorities of Nurburgring don't want to put the track in the simulator (for reasons who are out of my knowledge), It will not be in it. Be sure that Papyrus is making the best they can to make GrandPrix Legends the best simulator on the market. We all know that they want all perfection, and be sure that Mr. Kaemmer want's to have the track in the title. Since the track is modeled already from semi-official sources, they are only waiting for the licensing. Oh and I don't think you will have an official answer from somebody at Papyrus on rec.autos.simulators, so hop into the Forum at http://gpl.gamestats.com/ and check it out. It's the best place for serious discussion about the 1967 Formula1 season, and the actual game. All this with the interaction of Mike Lescault, who works for Papyrus.

>Yeah, this'll be a great sim, and I'll buy the thing, but the lack of >the 14-mile Nurburgring is a SERIOUS flaw. Whoa, hold on there - who said there was no Nordschleife in GPL? The current status is that nothing is announced, neither a "Yea" or a "Nay", and anything beyond that once again falls into the "uninformed speculation" category. Well, so far it isn't even an issue, since nothing is known. It's certainly a couple of Ollie North's short of a ***. Around here?! Don't hold your breath. Perhaps try asking over on [link lost in import] in the GPL forum - if deals are finalised you may get a comment from Mike Lescault or Doug Arnao who are fielding questions over there. Cheers! John

Heya John, I think now it's a "semi-official" answer... The 'Ring and Silverstone are listed in the track record of GP-Legends. I think it's a good answer now ! (but I recall seing LasVegas in the N2 demo AFAIK). Btw, the new track.txt files are VERY well done. Plenty of information, tweaking it is very easy and you can do plenty of things (more than the Castrol Bike simulator). The AI has new abilities, such as alertness, experience, smoothness, quickness, hype (!), aggression and qualifying !! Whoa !
