PWF vs THE US PITS

Project Wildfire versus The Pits for NR2003 mods

Don Wilshe praised The Pits over Project Wildfire for supporting NR2003 users, drawing ribbing about his history with both groups. Joachim Trensz said many groups would sustain the sim, and John Simmons cautioned against stoking rivalry. Track converter author Dave Noonan said some of his work had been used without acknowledgement, while still crediting Project Wildfire's contributions.

When it comes to supporting and communicating with us sim drivers that do nascar 2003 i would recommend THE US PITS. Trying to get answers from PWF just at this time doesnt exist. I feel that JAN can provide quality software just as well if not better than PWF. The posting of PWF seem to be less and less and Im not sure they are gonna be around at this point. Just my .02 cents. I have offered them my widetona series, wide bristol, freeway tracks and never get even a screw off. hehe.. at least i get that from goy and simmos Donald R.

As far as Don's post goes, PWF's site is for their own modifications to the sim. You can happily post links to anything you want but they don't host anything (hell they don't even host their own files). Jason

IMHO N2k3 will have a few very healthy future because it is supported by so many people and groups. I don't think one single group matters. There are _so_ many tracks, add-ons, mods etc. announced and coming from all sides already at this moment. Just look at Sandown, Bathurst, Hallsville, Watkins Glen Long, the soon to come Norisring or Goetzenburg. Consider The Pit's TPTCC mod. Or all the free track conversions and new tracks Dave has already given us (including his GPL classics like Brand Hatch, Imola or Road Atlanta), and I am pretty confident there are more to come (the Norisring being one of them, with generous permission from Lou Magyar). Sounds, setups, tracks, mods, it's coming from all sides, and people are only just beginning to work for and with N2k3. Achim

Hmm, sounds like PWF has their act together indeed in this case. Smart bunch, with some awesome mods. :) Donald M. Burnette sorry for no long sig file or credentials, maybe someday

I agree in that The Pits (or Noonan) seem to be far more productive than PWF. see http://www.tptcc.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=1361 (OMG is that Le mans sarthe!) -- Mika Takala

I think you fuckers should all just... [^&$%*&^---NO CARRIER] Greetings from the planet Tolerance. I have interrupted this individual's contribution to this discussion so that you might gain some insight and understanding from our point of view. I am of the opinion that it is wholly unfair to compare the two entities. They each have their own vision, and their own way of going about things, and there's not a thing wrong with that. Their efforts will may well stand on their own merits, or may fall under the weight of general disinterest by the community, and while a little bit of friendly rivalry between the two could be seen as a good thing, it's just a waste of time and energy to try to get them into a catfight. Variety is good. Choice is good. We don't often get either of those things when dealing with software. I recommend that we all take advantage of it while we can. I further recommend that we let these guys (both PWF, and The Pits) do their thing at a pace which is comfortable for them. The LAST thing we need is a half-completed and/or poorly through-out mod - from anyone - simply because the whining minority insists that it's "taking too long". I now return you to the original individual's commnication... [CARRIER DETECTED...^&%$^&%#@] ...and lastly, Wilshe can suck my hairy redneck asshole.

LOL Don, how true it seems. Actually I think Mr Wilshe may be biased just a bit, as he had a major difference of opinion with some of the major guys at OLR which happens to host the PWF stuff... I happen to think both Mods will be great. All of them seem to be a big boost to the sim racing community, so why try to hinder either one?

An outstanding posting John :) It wasn't my intention to suggest rivalry - I said that no single group will be decisive for the future of N2k3 because there are so many supporting this sim now. Admittedly, I personally expect more from The Pits and Noonan, because they have a proven record of providing the community with great stuff. And Jan's new pics aren't looking bad either :) Achim

I know, I was just addressing the direction the thread seemed o be taking. :)
And there's nothing wrong with friendly competition... Having said that, the rivalry doesn't appear quite so friendly when you find that a large chunk of one's work has been used without proper acknowledgement. However, I will readily acknowledge that PWF have made some excellent contributions to the sim community.

A sip maybe. Either that or the surgeon would be giving you my liver to return with the empties. :-) Now if you bring a donor with the beer I'm not sure which would be better. Danish, German or English.(donors that is) :-) Pete "Goy Larsen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

It seems a shot has been fired over the bow of PWF! The most originality that any modder can hope to achieve honestly is to steal with good judgement.
