I hate to say it but sometimes you have to pay to play. Not everything in life is free. SimBin really is being extremely generous in letting these conversions happen at all. There really is no way around the checks. Sure cracks will happen. You will always have thieves out there. But NLC isn’t going to completely ignore SimBin’s requests and put them self’s at risk of getting sued.

I do see what tezuka is saying though. If none of the models are from Evo then why require Evo? But I am under the impression that this mod has models from just about every SimBin title ever released (including Evo). I guess Evo is sort of an all in one title in some ways so I guess that is the reasoning behind the Evo check. If they wanted to be completely legit they would have to have a DVD check for every SimBin title that they used models from. Just think of the complaining that would cause. :)

BTW, I own Evo but something just feels odd about it so it never gets any use. Not only that but the league I am in uses rFactor only so I am glad to see this mod coming to rFactor.

Thanks NLC!

I would be very pissed off if i were SimBin.

Everybody knows that there will be “not dvd checking” versions of the mod within hours after release.

Did you heard about something like crack in your life ? dont you think that Simbin is pissed about playing their games on cracks ? you can always crack a game or mod but that is piracy it is your choice

–About Historix, it is really different because GT Legends is quite old.

so What ?

This DVD check doesn’t make sense to me. The mod doesn’t come with any GTR evo tracks or car models.

Why not check GTR2 and/or GT Legends if its just there to give simbin “the respect they deserve” ?

what the hell this guy is talking about anyone can explain it to me

Oh PLEASE! Are you kidding me? I’m SO far from rich it’s not even funny, and even I was able to get the money up to build myself a water cooled Q6600 rig with an 8800GTS. Anyone who can’t save up enough money to build themselves a modern day rig that can handle any game out there is either lazy (won’t get a job) or irresponsible (have a job but refuse to save any money).

I repeat, I am not rich, by any means what-so-ever. I have a car payment, rent, utilities, credit cards, personal loans and other bills to pay and I was still able to save up the money for my water cooled quad core rig. The only thing keeping you from enjoying an amazing computer is yourself.

This mod will be free and when people don’t like the CD check, they are not forced to download it

Or are you afraid to miss anything between the great number of mods? If you do, then no problem to buy GTR Evo I guess

Dear Slowest.

We can not discuss the reasons for GTR-Evo check in public.
Please bear with us.

The only thing i can say, is that we don`t have to worry about legality-issues if we include this Check.

I`m sorry that we can not give you any more informations.

So what in this mod is a conversion from which simbin title?

Why checking for Evo DVD if it comes from GTR2 ?

About Historix, it is really different because GT Legends is quite old.

My point was not to argue or start a fuss here, but I’d like to understand. If it contains anything from Evo or Race 07, it IS very risky. DVD check or not.

GTR2/GTL/rF/Race/Evo/etc -check doesn’t bother real simracing-fans ’cause we have all those sims already.

It just those posers who complain ’bout everything. Go back to play WoW or other s…ty and worthless game.

There are so many people behind mod projects like this that get never mentioned.

They´re making the real effort.

I´m just glad to be a part of it ;)

For those that disagree with this effort/release/gift, just pretend the other possibility exists for you (parallel universe, ha, ha)and that this never was made and you can be happy. For those others, how fortunate and exciting! No worries, it always sorts itself out in the end.

Is it just me or do many of you also use 6e66o as a barometer to great mods and tracks. It seems lately that anytime I see his name, whatever it is, it’s got my full attention. So a big thanks to him for his generous/excellent contributions!

You still dont get it? Quite remarkable.

so stupid. cant wait to buy a game that hardly works on my system to download a mod for a game that does. when i hit the lottery i will have quad core 99999s and a ati 12000 like all of you rich guys

The haters in this thread must be the same guys who post “what a waste” every time a mod is released for something else than Evo.

By: 6e66o

6e66o — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 15:52:17 +0000

The logic is to give simbin the respect they deserve,
for using conversions of their cars.

If you dont get that, then in dont know…

ScHiRoCk — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 15:42:04 +0000

I truely don’t get it.
You want this mod on RF but you need evo to play it.
Were is the logic?

so if its not a conversion,why the dvd check,or is there some content from evo in the mod im not moaning

By: 6e66o

6e66o — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 14:49:48 +0000

this is no gtr evo conversion.

By: Montoya

Just trust that the people involved know what they´re doing…and enjoy the mod once it’s out

The difference between this and say the Historic GT & TC mod is that Simbin have said they want NO conversions of GTR Evo until it is 12 months old, check or no check.
