Good to see he didn't quit his passion all together and is still at it. Have to agree with Marc, I hope he doesn't fall flat again.
This isn't Nazi Germany.. I am sure you can link to another sim's forums without a perma ban, semi-perma ban or even anyone complaining.
Got it!!! Looks like both AC and RF2 lost the possibility of having an almost flawless free Nordschleife....
As several people over at the AC forum already have pointed out to him, he cannot release that track legally. Although I support Pleclair in his decision to leave this version and rF2, I really have a hard time seeing what on earth is the point with that other track?
Is it necessary to have the source 3dmax files to continue working on this track? Or is it enough to have the rfcmp/mas files?
I'm happy too Pleclair is continuing building tracks (even though it's not for rF2) but have also hard time understanding what is the point on building from something which can't be released for public use. Does he have some sort of special agreement with SimBin allowing him to do this? On the other hand if this is solely a hobby and for improving his skills then why not. Downside he won't be getting much feedback/publicity from his work.
Given what happened here, that is likely a good thing. Maybe that's why he is doing what he is doing? Unfortunately his desire to eventually get hired as a professional in this area will be hurt by his choice of converting the very track that caused its creators to issue the legality statement.
Possible i think, but it would be a lot of work. I think peclair did the same when he took com8's rF1 version
Yep, feedback from Internet can sometimes be quite harsh. But it's inevitable and one just needs to learn how to handle it. That sucks. As it seems Nords is so important to him then hopefully he'll reconsider continuing his work with his rF2 version. It would make sense now that 64-bits may be around the corner. And if the road surface mesh is too inaccurate for him then hopefully he'd be able to find some better data and maybe build the whole thing from the scratch. It's something which he'll need to learn sooner or later anyway. Well to be honest I think he should try to create some small track first before doing it with the Nords. Just my two cents.
I could take good converted Nords any day. There's plenty of places where ppl can publish stuff freely. And I'm not person who would snitch that kind of stuff.
Need to have 3dsmax files to continue. Or reimport from com8 version and do it from scratch from com8 version, I'll try when 64bits comes out, just for fun.
I wish I knew. Dunno, tbh. Seems he has slightly backed himself up into a corner. Not long ago he left rF2 He goes to AC which already has an amazing Nords available plus the complete laser scanned Kunos version coming later this year. Then he opens a thread on AC forum which gets closed because he completely seems to ignore the various legality issues despite numerous warnings. This is becoming quite bizarre imo. I'm having a hard time following the way he thinks.
