Sierra UK GPL site

Hello, I was looking at the Sierra UK GPL site www.sierra-online.co.uk to find the 1.2 patch since the papy site seems down. This is actually a very very good site. There is two pages that explain why the physics engine is great and generally more inforamtive than the papy site. But what really boggled me what at the Key Features page. There is a screen- shot from the race menu for Monza. And it makes me really sad to know that this it what it was meant to be. There are weatheroptions (sunny, cloudy and rain) for each individual day (friday practice, saturday practice and sunday race). But then look at the trackmap. The Monza track is with the oval. Well, i've seen this in other track-maps too, but look at the front straight. The lines are separated. But as long as they didn't use it in 67 it probably doesn't mean anything. It still looks like the game was intended to be even better than it already is. Papy, please make GPL 2.0, with weather, and some bonus tracks (banked oval) or other seasons. I pay 10 times the price for it :) -- Olav K. Malmin remove spam when replying

What's the URL for the English Sierra site? Andre

Still, I bet it would have run like a dog with 32 cars as those screen shots suggest. -- Richard G.

Those screen shots are over 18 months old!

The largest number of 3 litre cars in a GP during 1967 was 19....Mexico. Where on earth they got the idea of 32 cars from I don't know.....unless they were utilising the Nascar 2 format. > : But what really boggled me what at the Key Features page.

Yeah, as I said, it made me really sad when I saw what it COULD have been :) Anyway, a bit weird to still have a totally wrong screenshot on a promotion page. -- Olav K.

Oops, missed that :)

Old pics. Even the people at Sierra have commented that their webmaster is a little off the ball when it comes to keeping the sites updated as they need. For Half-Life some of their people were actually giving out the URL of a certain fansite than the URL of their own site. M

We'd all love it but if its to happen it will more than likely be a GPL2 which I really hope some out, and a series with some other seasons, 70's 80's early 90's? Anyway, its might not happen but I'd say thats our best bet for weather and more tracks:-(
