GPL patch is needed....and so is one for NR 1999

Since my previous post deteriorated into adolescent blathering (where have I heard that before?), let me be clear. The GPL 1.1 patch is long overdue. Yes, GPL is a brilliant piece of software and has far fewer bugs and problems than probably any other racing game out there...congratulations Papy. It is far from perfect, though, and there are many, many single player gameplay issues and small bugs that need to be addressed. Adding more robust multi-player support is great, too, but that's hardly the only requirement. NR1999 is even more need of a patch than GPL, which is shocking considering the lineage involved in NR1999. Nevertheless, I hope a patch will be forthcoming soon. There is nothing like buying an "upgrade" of a program to have it perform (in some ways) worse than its predecessors. This certainly reminds me of MGPRS2 1.0, which seemed to have been an upgrade of F1RS 1.0 instead F1RS 1.09 as you would expect. Why re-patch the same bugs over and over again?? I didn't expect this from Papy. I love GPL...it is by far the best racing simulator created for the PC to date, but that doesn't mean that it is acceptable for a patch to take 8 months (or more...who knows!!!) to be released when 99% of the problems were identified in the first few weeks after release.

OK...even I can laugh at your reply. If FFB is incorporated into the GPL patch (see posts above), and it miraculously adds to the experience instead of detracting from it, I will eat my words and say that it was worth waiting this long. FFB in NR1999? I doubt it, so my opinion on the delay on that one still stands. Marc.
