Simbin + F1 1977 Mod. What happened?

Hi Folks! Can't find the simbin forum anymore (heard they're going commercial?) Will the superb F1 1977 Mod (for F1 2002 ?) be continued? If you don't know what I'm talking about please have a look at these awesome F1 1977 wip pics http://www.8ung.at/theoahjh/mclarenm26.jpg http://www.8ung.at/theoahjh/f11977.jpg Lutz -- It was really foggy so I missed all my braking points, so I was going really fast.

To make a long, sordid story short: The forum has been closed and the 1977 mod will not be done (at least for free--perhaps it will appear as a commercial product someday).

One word: *WHY*? Has this topic been discussed somewhere before (forum? ng? link?)? Lutz -- It was really foggy so I missed all my braking points, so I was going really fast. (Ari Vatanen) Home: http://www.geocities.com/rainforest/8059/

Simbin is going commercial. And since they now are in business to make money, they can't be giving things away, and they can't be taking time off from whatever their money-making project is to release a free mod. dave henrie

OK - I would pay for F1 1977. So why will especially F1 1977 not be done? Lutz -- It was really foggy so I missed all my braking points, so I was going really fast. (Ari Vatanen) Home: http://www.geocities.com/rainforest/8059/

We don't know what Simbin is going to release yet. They have not made any announcements...but they HAVE signed a contract with the Henrik Roo's Viper Team of the FIA league so one would 'guess' the first project will be a more indepth FIA GT sim. Again that is only supposition. Until they do make an announcent, we are all just guessing. I suspect the 1977 mod has been shelved, not due to lack of interest, but whatever project they have takes all their time. dave henrie
