April fools day threads (merged)

Hope to have more info tomorrow after I have spoken to Ramon after reading an email i've received on our RD account. Weird stuff so far, can't completely figure it out without the help of the wizard but it looks very interesting!

 

[Ash Webster]

Haha no problem, pretty much the cpp file really doesnt mean much its just the one of the opengl related files. My guess is that ISI set parameters on whih hardware could be used to run the developer copy, I'd rather wait for the propper version to be released with all features. Fingers crossed it comes out this weekend

 

[Rich_A11]

Is that sarcasm or you have inside information?

 

[Aaron Carlisle]

Haha... I wish I was an ISI employee though considering I'm a 3d engineer. I just didn't want anything to jeopardize the release of rFactor 2, that's all. lol I registered w/ my Facebook account in case anyone doesn't believe me. My Facebook link is http://www.facebook.com/AaronC31

 

[Bruce Saltzman]

OK, I can't wait until its made available.

This weekend Ramon said to me in a pm

 

[Brian Duddy]

I would definitely advise against sending it out if it is real unless you want a lawsuit from ISI.

First of all, I'm not a lawyer! I doubt RD has that much to worry about legally; about the worst they could expect is a C&D letter, and I'm not sure whether posting it would actually be illegal presuming the original source was not stolen or something. I'm more worried about ISI's relations to this forum in general; they could probably make RD's life quite difficult if they wanted to.

So far I am unlucky to get it working on Windows 7. Windows XP works ok now. I hope to get it work this afternoon, otherwise it will probably after the weekend. Have a field trip to Germany Friday and Saturday.

Help would be appreciated.

Will it be out this weekend Ramon?

 

[Rich_A11]

You shouldn't release it or share it all unless you have express permission from ISI. It could have valuable source code which ISI would not want competitors to see!

Windows 7 is vista mate but with a lot of work done on all the bugs it had. But still all the same frame work

 

[Ramon van Rijn]

So far, no help useful help received. I am about to leave home. I will try to catch up Saturdaynight. I asked co-admin Dave to have a look also, maybe he knows some tricks to help. See you after weekend.
