In a sense, yes. Tony, who produced the transporter went on to work on
another project, Virtual RC, whilst Chris worked on the physics engine.

I would suggest Ashley has inside knowledge he is unable to share with us
right now. In my view they have got their communication wrong twice. First
by giving too much too early, then by saying nothing, but like I said once
burnt...

I don't reply in context to anonymous posts. Tell us who you are, and
I'll hold a conversation with you.

Well, Mr. Anonymous....At first I can't imagine they emptied their
brains when they started RL, and second starting from scratch didn't
seem to hinder them when coming up with a estimated release date....

I gave up on it because none of the other programmers could understand
why I'd want a different super-detailed 3-D race hauler in every map.

Not to nitpick, but the design of the international space station
started nearly 30 years ago. I'm not sure that would be a very good
turnaround for a racing simulation.

They are trying
