Sorry, that was me. As the best rendition of Pikes Peak in AC (by some margin), I assumed people would be happy to be alerted to the updated version, and more importantly, grateful to the modder for putting their time into it - I certainly was, thank you 🙏🏻
Its a public video, do as you please. He annoyed me, you didn't. Apologies if it seemed that I was annoyed at you.
____________________________________________
For everyone else, I'll address the most common complaints once and for all. I'll just say it like it is.
* I don't make super good videos or tracks. I'm aware, there are some amazing creators out there im not even trying to compete with.
* Most of the time in my video these days i'm just sending it with a controller trying not to bin it because setting up vr+wheel in the middle of a modding session is a pain. Plus i'm often modding late at night and don't want to be waking those near and dear to me while i play pretend race car driver in my office.
* I prefer releasing on youTube as keeps me in the loop of view numbers, which helps me decide what gets updated next.
* I am not interested in YouTube money or sharemod clicks, I use them simply because they work and are free on my end as well as yours. Period. If you can't figure out how to use a web browser safely in 2023 you're gonna get a lot worse than whatever a trackmod link will give you.
* I do this as a bit of a laugh, im not a professional, I started with Bobs track builder back in the day, I dabbled in racetrack builder and have been slowly figuring out 3DSMax with zero prior knowledge.
* All these tracks would exist on my hard drive anyway. You literally can't stop me from doing what I want to do. I do not work for you, I am not yours to command but I will listen if you're at least polite. There was never really a time in the beginning when thought I would release anything. I was kind of talked into it.
* DiRT rally rips are a pain to do, no 20 minute copy/pastas will get you more than 5 fps. (Nor can they be done in 20 mins anyway) Ask respected member RMiwood if im lying about that fact.
* I am only home for 1/3 of my life thanks to horrible job, slave to the wage, real life, adult responsibilities and fatherhood. In my one week home out of three I try to do what I can but sometimes I simply don't have the time to find every bug or beta test drive for hours. If you find a bug, GREAT! Let me know without being a child and ill do my best to look into it.
I think that will do. If you don't like any of the above and see one of my tracks out in the wild just move along sonny, nothing to see here.
tl:dr don't be a sook, its just pretend racey cars
