Shortly after release, we became aware of installation bugs. We brought this to the attention of the community.

We have been working closely with FIRST-Racing.net - the company who owns the rights to the simulation we modified - on a restructured version of Redline GTP and are happy to say that we will have this out in the near future. The solution to this situation is designed to allow us to deliver our mod to the sim-racing community.

This will continue and is something both Redline Developments and FIRST-Racing.net support , however modding should not cross the line into intellectual property infringement. Modders and companies must work cooperatively in frameworks which protect the rights of all involved. We at Redline Developments are amazed at the amount of excitement Redline GTP has created. The level of support we received from the sim-racing community has exceeded our expectations in every regard, and for that we are grateful. We hope that you continue to enjoy Redline GTP and, again, thank you for your continued support! |

"David G Fisher" <davegf (AT) home (DOT) com> wrote Another reason why rFactor is the right approach. Right ymenard? |
Dunno I still see this as a separate thing. There the compagnies doing
their usual legal work here, versus the guy who wants to race real tracks
out-of-the-box, 'cause he doesn't want to wait 6 months for third-party
users to release them, often in average quality.
If we go back to the first part, and I've said it quite often here on
r.a.s., we're always marching on eggs. EVERY car that's painted for a F1
sim, Nascar sim, Rally, etc... every track, every billboard, every
everything, is somehow illegal as it containts intellectual property
infringements.
I still think we should ignore it, and just release those things via
bittorent and let the users win tehehe.

So, anybody wants to Bittorent the GTP mod, or knows where to find it
online? I didn't install it only because I was told it was possibily
dangerous for it's uninstallation grrr (I fell into that trap).

Perhaps that's the real reason the Pits got pissy and closed up too. |
have farted in their general direction, told them they were sons of
silly persons, that their mothers were hamsters and that their fathers
smelled of Elderberries, finally we would have told them to go away
before we taunted them a second time....all in an extremely bad French
accent of course
Beers and cheers
