I'd bet this is the first cannonball fired at FIRST by one or some of
the many enemies they're making for themselves. FIRST are digging their own
graves. When you think of all the expertise out there in the sim community,
you'd think they'd know better than to give them good reason to screw them
over!

Also, there is no multiplayer. Gee, I wonder why?

That may be YOUR definition of "open-source" but it is completely wrong.

The code ITSELF has to be made available PUBLICALLY so Joe Public is able to
compile his very own EXE file (called "rolling your own" in some circles).

As far as I have been aware - Papy has NEVER released the code to Joe
Public, so therefore N2K3 is "closed source".

The release of "tools" for Joe Public to play with are inconsequential. Do
they re-write the code in any way? Not that I have seen...

Now someone prove me wrong!

Sure there is. Also check http://www.raceservers.net/Default.htm

I'm trying to think of all the expertise in the sim community and
drawing a blank. I'm assuming all of the experts we have will start
designing and releasing their own incredible sims?

Via Sierra? I don't have a "Race Sierra" button in the upper right,
like I do with either of my other installs? If you mean DIrect IP or
LAN, then yes, there is MP.

More a matter of resources than talent.

Anyway, point is, there are a lot of people out there that can hurt an
online gaming company. Why give them good reason to do so?

LOL,

You have to get to the folder the game installed itself, run the 3dconfig
utility.

I cant believe it, so to you are saying: in your mind, you are in this
game.... your running around the track at 200mph, and you call your
crewchief, "what the hell does the sign in turn 4 say, goddam it?" This
sux..

as it matters to you in the scheme of racing simulation? oh-kay fine.

Taking into account the "rave" review above ("updates the graphics
insanely"), I'd EXPECT the graphics to be BETTER than what I have now.
Or at least the same. Why would I go backwards in gfx quality? And
there is no one "out there" to contact for these issues. Plus the fact
the MP is only good for Direct IP, with the dozen or so ppl. that have
this mod. Plus, it's all stolen goods. Wow, what a deal!

On the other hand, I can use the SS.net packages, get the goods from
them and get "tech support" if needed. Plus, his mods are all Sierra
compatible.

Hmmmm...what to do?
