Good news. Now all I have to ask is when we get those effects and weather in AC?

Thanks for the link to the site, just downloading the demo now to see what it's like.

Like mentioned above, it is puzzling that they would go to all that effort to implement such a complex weather system but not develop something like that for AC. Fingers crossed....

Got it installed and already procured a bunch of tracks. I am struggling to get the actual FFB to work, I get resistance but no detail at the moment with my Fanatec GT3RS v2. This is driving much smoother than I remember from the demo 4 years ago once they finally addressed all the glitches and returned from the NetBikes fiasco.

The answer is precisely because of their experience with NKPro. They added rain and it had little impact on sales. They added a Fiat 500 and it had a big impact on sales. Conclusion: sim racers are far more interested in licensed content than rain. The sales success of AC without rain does seem to confirm their motto that everyone wants to race in the rain in the dark, but only once.

Yes I agree with you, but judging by all the users going crazy for the dynamic weather in Project Cars there is a fan base for it Netkar Pro goes freeware in December (6)

I loved GTR2 because it had the day/night races and the weather. Even though it was very frustrating at times! Netkar Pro goes freeware in December (7)

Anyway, AC is a great sim and if they want to add weather, great, if they don't it's not a problem Netkar Pro goes freeware in December (8)

That is great news, NKP is my favorite hot lap, relax sim. How can I get a pay code if they are no longer providing them. I want to unlock the whole thing. Anybody willing to share one of theirs? I wrote to them but no reply so far.
Thanks

Yes I can see a fan base for this game but their are no servers for these fans to be racing on so its just a you alone on a track driving in circles? correct me if I'm wrong

I was also wondering now that it's considered freeware, would anyone be willing to share their pay code for others to try it who never had it before. I emailed them but no response. Thanks!

If you google "netkar pro freeware jamoz" you'll find a code.

Why would you need a paycode if it's freeware?

I actually don't know why they did it like this, probably because they didn't want to spend any more time on the code. Everywhere online including the official website states that it's freeware now, but they didn't change the software, just stopped checking activation codes. So apparently you have to enter a preexisting code but it is fully legitimate for everyone to use the same code now.

Tiger milk, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

As it's not illegal and was shared by the owner himself, here's the code:

This game can be still used as Racing School...
