Hi,
What do think about racing legends ?
Is it again vapourware like "world sport cars" ?
I think, the west brother are just dreaming. They give us no facts,
pictures, movies
or something else. Their website is poor.
What do you think ? Could racing legends be the second racing simulation
after GPL, or is it something like "Duke nukem forver" / "wait forever" ?
Cheers,
Uli
Is West Racing's Racing Legends vapourware?
A poster asked whether the West brothers' Racing Legends project was vapourware. Most replies were mocking, comparing it to World Sports Cars and joking about the West Racing merchandise shop. Jan Verschueren argued that 'wait and see' was the only defensible position.
Automated summary.
vaporware

I <yawn> in your general direction.

As a 10 year old, myself and a friend planned on building
a helicopter from some steel tubing, a lawnmower engine
and a ceiling fan.
Unlike West Brothers, we kept it to ourselves.

I think this debate has been done to death and I don't care to hear the nay
sayers' tired, swiss cheese like argument again.

And from the other side of the fence I agree about the basics of your

True, the only supportable attitude is "wait and see". Whether one is
positive or negative towards the project is purely an opinion, which can be
argued, but not conclusively proven either way.

I'd love to see what you come up with for a Swashplate, and how you
integrate it into that ceiling fan.
You _do_ have a Swashplate, right ?

I haven't checked the site in ages... the stupid bickering on the forum
depresses me.

Well yes, a matter of fact there is. The teddybears are now going to be offered
in a red/green color combo just in time for the holiday season.

So I take it the shop is up and running? -Good.

PS.: when you think about it, buying from the West Racing online shop is a
win-win situation, whatever happens: either you were there, supporting RL
from the beginning, or you got a momento to the biggest simracing hoax in
history. Neither side can lose. Actually, that's pretty clever by Chris and
Tony. Wonder if it *is* all just smoke and mirrors... <vwg>
Yeah, but then the only joke is on those who bought into it!

I bookmarked this the first day the forum was open:
http://www.west-racing.com/forums/index.php?s=7d632edebb25d3afa1cd21b3337f6532&act=Profile&MID=1
That will show you the profile for the West Bros. From there you can
click on "find all posts by this member". Makes navigating that shite
forum much easier.
Also, pretty much any time they post there's a related update on the
main part of the website. Last one, IIRC, is from early October.

What kind of time frame are you expecting for the first prototype and
then the final production model?!? =)
