This should be part of the r.a.s. FAQ! Anyway I'm in charge of all things official here A little hint to iRacing : When you publically start talking about subscription price and all, it would be also informative to start talking about your sim and it's features. A weekly blog, each week just add a video, a couple of in-car screenshots, gameplay, etc... and start talking about the real reasons why you are promoting it as the end-of-it-all sim. True physics talk, not PR bull****, everything about gameplay, the game engine, multiplayer, tracks, cars, etc... Or else people start speculating and it's not good publicity. It's time you start promoting your sim. -- ymenard -- official |
