Since Madden is from EA, it does not matter. A more serious matter is that Sony owns the Formula 1 rights and does not publish for the PC. There are not much useful mods out for GP4, so PC owners have a tough time. Jochen |

There is a f#cking problem with this licensing... Can someone tell me why
Coke, Ford, or others Pays through the nose to have thier cars or products in a movie, yet game writers have to pay them to have thier products put "xactly" like they were when Coke, Ford, or others paid through the nose for us to see the race we are "emulating", on our tv??? seems f#cking ludicrous to me.

The main reason you don't see this type of licensing is money. With the exception of Halo 2 and maybe the GTA series. No game has made "Hollywood" type of money yet. So your not going to see too many of those types of deals. It might happen, but I don't think we will see anything like that in the sim racing niche. Unless you count the ad space Ratbag sold in the DTR games. (At least I think they did.) btgoss |

Untapped resource if you aks me... I would think My employer would love to
have thier image and imaginary signage at Daytona's trackside, say if the sim sold enough copies to warrant the exposure. To hell with them, i say, I personally liked the rwallace#2 car graffix that Papy shipped the NR series with, better than the original... IMHO especially with the uncanny abilities of most of the paint and cars that were readily available for download... lst time I checked my nr03 folder was over 1 gig in size, most of that was mods and car downloads (bloated friggin car downloads IMHO) of fellow racers... I downloaded the 1st release of the "actual" Cup cars, from a site that I am positively sorry I cant remember (to give them credit for awesome work) that was all... when I run the game, Im online, PERIOD. Hardly never saw the licenced cars, because I even downloaded the online generic replacement paint, which was awesome... I dont give a crap if you called the tracks "Big Oval 1" through "Mini Oval Flat" for each track Dega to Martyville. btgoss enlightened us with: > Plowboy2 wrote: >> There is a f#cking problem with this licensing...
