netKar Pro 1.3 is out

[Sérgio Marques]

well, not really yet, but







here is a good topic to anyone make the announcement!



Happy new Year to everyone!

A little more positive thinking would help this thread imo! It wasn't released for Christmas, but they said it'll be soon released! Whenever it is it'll be a great day! The more we wait and the more it'll be perfect, the happier we'll be!

That sounds familiar. Oh wait, GT5/Sony maybe? lol.

Now now gents, lets be honest here, we are all noring at the steering wheel for the COBRA so we can POWERSLIDE a few long corners, well I am, Drifting anyone? Lol.

Seriously, its no big deal to have to wait a little more for the release of 1.3, I mean whats a few weeks, we have all waited for game releases only to hear theyve been postponed due to bugs or other issues, its just part of the gaming industry. Dont know about you but I would hate to purchase a racesim to find it BUGGED with errors etc, Ide probably hang crap on it to my mates for being buggy. Which means they probably wouldnt buy it either, so its in the best interest of the developer to produce a quality product, even if it means delaying the release.
Im happy to wait

I would appreciate that Kunos could say a word about the release date.
We are waiting for this release before starting our 2011 NKP Championship (it's a spanish community)...An Approximate release date would help us.

He said: "We're trying to include both into the Xmas 2010 v1.3 release". So we thought we could wait a few days but if it is going to be much longer I would like to know.

I understand he is really concerned about releasing a bug-free product, but that doesn't mean he can't tell us something more about the release date.

This is a communication issue not a programming issue. A pattern that emreged, had hopefully been rectified and now seems to have resurfaced. I don't beleive anyone has indicated they want v1.3 released prematurely. I believe the angst stems from hype and then no communication. There has not been a "It will be delivered on this date" communication but they have, as I mentioned previously, led the public to believe they were going to deliver by Christmas, around Christmas, and then on or around January 6th. As for gnawing at the wheel for the Cobra etc some are, some aren't. As we move further from the originally anticipated date (when I actually had time to experience the update) nKP moves further off my radar screen - I primarily race P&G (also with an anticipated update to v3 - with a Cobra or three) so now that our new season has begun I have little time to try other software. So if and when it comes out I will dabble at it, probably like it, and with my combination of living on the US West Coast and the limited fan base probably tuck the software away knowing it is good/great but not having anyone to share it with.

That was why I bought now rather than wait, I tried the demo, knew it would be good so bought now before the price went down, this sim needs as much support as possible. It really should be more mainstream

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

Brian your in mate? great news mate

 

[Brian Clancy]

Brian your in mate? great news mate

Yup, its an awesome sim, SUPERB physics/tire model........... you really do FEEL the car It just needs more of the same HIGH QUALITY content and its gotta be a top sim contender! The FFB is sublime, astonishingly good tbh

 

[Philip Antonia]

And with that Brian I'll be trying the Demo 2nite and possibly take the plunge too!!

You wont regret it if its realism you are after Nice Gfx too, very polished, only failing is a lack of content, but thats coming and at this price its not like you can complain!

 

[Adrian Herrera]

remember you can get addon tracks, mostly conversions from older titles but still decent looking.

i currently have: australia, brazil, canada, monaco, suzuka, shangai, malaysia, spa, silverstone, nürburgring gp, mugello & laguna seca...

BE PATIENCE GUYS - THANKS

on DRIVING ITALIA, Nicola Trivilino, very close to KUNOS said:

<< there have been an "issue" but not about the game, something personal, in Stefano's real life, please be patience >>

don't know what happened but I would give to Stefano "KUNOS" Casillo all my best wishes, for anything is happened !!

FORZA STEFANO !!

 

[InsaneOzzie]

Many thanks for the news Alessandro, and hope all is well with Stefano.

Cheers

FORZA STEFANO!!!

thanks for everything you have done so far and i hope all is well in your life.

Well i hope Kunos takes his time with the latest patch than simply release a track with a rain hack option.A perfect weather implementation(considering also the lighting and reflections/refractions we have not seen in the short clip) along a couple of normal cars would give a breath of air and new players to netkar pro.Better driver/hand animations and more physics related head movement would be sweet taking improvements seen on FVA into account.A few more polished tracks would be sweet too.(There is a good amount of user converted/made tracks out there but its difficult to find them and they need a lot of polish to be honest).

In any case netkar is still juat a game and what happens in Kunos real life is what is really important.Hope everything turns out ok so he can return to improving netkar!

The beta is coming, it's in its final stage. Due to different problems and a necessary internal reorganization (something that could not be postponed), 1.3 took longer than expected. It will include Osella PA-21S, Vintage GT, weather conditions and Trento-Bondone.

This is what Markus wrote in the linked message.

Coolcool, thanks for the update
