f1pilot for you the mod is released in 09 ok? Now go away and leave me alone. You piss me off again, ill just click a simple little button and you wont be on here again.
There are things beyond our control. Things you would never understand.
We worked hard to guarantee the mod be out before 08 season begins.
But s h i t happens. This is why i think yanden made a mistake giving out release dates.
From now on, we should just say Coming Soon, like i always do.

Added the gallery section.
Pretty basic. i just took random basic images with my graphic card.
Had to make them 800x600. Got to get myself photoshop cs. The dumb web photo gallery auto batch maker only allowed 800 max lol. I'll do better next time.
Also noticed My AIW is screwed up ATM, so the track has no braking points. Road textures looks a bit screwy. Will post better shots later this week, when i replace my old AIW file back in. Forgot to do that.

BTW it's offtopic a little bit but... what is a risk to yenden's decline of using MMG for League ? I do not really decline a league of using our mods unless they charge their players to download or play the mod. All leagues that have applied thus far, none have been refused. I simply ask for the application so I have a list of which leagues run our mods. I like to ensure that not only the work of the group is used rightfully, but that the members around the world are not forced to buy the leagues version of the mod to play in the league. This is a free product and MMG will not allow anyone trying to sell off our mod in their leagues. I've had a few problems with the demo being used in that way and have shut down two leagues at the moment for doing so. Its stupid and idiotic that I am forced to go to these lengths and ruin it for those who do things right, because some idiots exist and want to try and make money off other peoples work. This is why I ask leagues to apply, if they apply and don't charge money, they will get the mod without any problem whatsoever. Its just a simple email requesting to use the mod, it takes 10 seconds and shows your professionalism as a league owner and your respect to the people who worked so hard to produce the mod. Take the time to do it, and you're rewarded with the reply that you have the permission. Its really not too much to ask when it helps us make sure the mod is available to everyone, everywhere for free at all times. Our pleasure comes from seeing the enjoyment of those who play what we create, we won't see it if people sell our mods, thats why they're free. Hope that clears it up --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You see, people like F1Pilot are why mod groups members get demotivated and mod groups disband and close doors. Our biggest mistake as a group which we have learnt from and will not make the same mistake again, is the fact that we released a proposed release date, and since then everyone expects everything by then. Unfortunately people like him don't realise that things like bugs arise, or issues with members in their lives that have to take time off or completely leave and have me spend time looking for more people to join in and continue that area of work. These things every group goes through and all these little problems push the development of a mod further and further. Its not like we sit there saying, oh we'll just cause this bug to postpone the mod, or we'll just stop working and make the community wait. Every day the work each member puts is immense, in their already busy lives. They do as much as they can to create a perfect mod. And yes right now whilst we're nearing to an end, we do have some problems that have risen that we need to iron out. Thankfully however, the time I took to make partnerships which I have been bashed on for so long, with IDT, CXC Simulations and other groups around the world, all those press releases were not for nothing. Whilst we are partnered with many other groups, we now are acquiring help to fix these issues from partners. As you can see, having partners is a vital part of a mod group, because we at MMG are not 100% knowledged, we just know as much as we do, and with our knowledge, we do the best we can, and when we get stuck, we ask the help of our partners. We help each other which is the best way. Right now we're working around the clock as hard as we can to get everything finished. We're doing our best to give you a great great mod. So please stay tuned. ;D

not only that. Leagues that do apply, gets better page ranks, google ranks, because maybe we could use their URL, into our database.
Add them to our sponsors list or links pages.
This is how the whole INTERNET world works. You want more publicity, you do that. Apply with us and you'll win.
I do this for a living, which many of you already know. (master at search engine optimization. Went to school for web development.)
I also have a new community links section coming up soon.
So to speak, the league gets huge assets in letting us know they are using our mods, and is supporting us.
