 Back on regular basis, it seems -- it's one week ago we last had the Weekly News, so for the first time in months I'm on time. I don't have much news for you, though - after all, we're still outside he PCM-season ;)
New article(s)
Today, our Australian member, Rodda, submitted a new article which was later approved. It's an article about the upcoming season, and it goes into detail with all the Pro Tour teams and describes their good and bad sides. Go read it here and make sure to comment it.
Also remember that you can always write and submit your own articles by clicking "Submit Article" in the left-hand menu.
Our crew-member, Wildcat, also uploaded an article a week ago. It's a preview of the Tour Down Under, but since it's over now there's not really any point in reading it. However, if you're interested, it's of course still available right here.
Controversy about database review
Earlier this week, our database review Waghlon published his very first review. It was about the Womenbase 1.0 which he ended up giving 4 out of 5. However, he also pointed out some thing which he wasn't too content with. This made a lot of members react, especially people from the Benelux countries.
The thing here is that people reacted in two ways: Some reacted by throwing mud at Waghlon (or threaten with withdrawing database projects from the site...), others reacted by mentioning some of the things which could have been different in the review.
I have to say here that yes, some of the critism is 'correct'. But it doesn't mean that anyone can treat Waghlon like that. We have learned from this, and we will try to become even better at reviewing in future.
New graphics stuff
I've added two new graphic files to the download section during this week. The first one was originally made for PCM06, but it does also work perfectly with PCM07 - it's a pack of new clouds and a new sky which supposedly make the game look more realistic. It's made by the graphics guru EintrachtFan who's known for his face packs for PCM06. You can download the pack here.
A member named "Tourdedoping" has released a pack of 2008 shirts. The shirts are really well-made which we can thank some of the contributors to the pack for - these including guys like Brucht, the sim-eraser, etc.. We now got the shirts - we just need a good 2008 database ;) You can download the shirts here. |
