us sim racers want a simulator as close to the real thing as possible. No matter how difficult it makes the sim. If that makes the sim too hard for the big audience why not double the prices of your sims. I think I speak for a big part of us if I say that I would just as well have paid double or triple the amount I paid for GPL. In that way you get a good revenue and still do what we know you like doing most: developing sims as realistic as they can possibly be.
I would be willing to pay twice as much as I did for GPL.. If developers make a SIM that is that good.. I would prob. be willing to pay 3 times as much.. ($160)!!! I am serious.. how much would you be willing to pay for a GREAT SIM?? (GP3, Nascar 3). THE WAY YOU WANT IT??? Ask yourself.. James Pickard, Melbourne, AUSTRALIA

lol... good revenue? Out of what - 50...100 enthusiastic folks? Sure, if you can guarantee to come up with a few thousand bucks per copy they'd probably even give it a try... --Tel

The cost of the game was nothing compared to the money I spent getting my system capable of running it. No matter how much it cost I would have got the money together to buy it. I dont see why they cant please both markets. Make the sim as realistic as possible with as many helps that are needed to make it playable and fun for anyone.

I think it would be more profitable while relativly easy to just incorporate a dumbed down physics setting as in N2/99. IMO it was a major mistake to not provide this option in GPL. l8er ronny -- How to get rid of censorship in German game releases <http://www.gamesmania.com/german/maniac/freedom/freedom.htm> |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!
