Dear Enzo
I'm here, and not hidden..be sure. I replayed in my thread, but I was forgetting You are used to open a new thread for any new comment....
Anyway, as first thing I apologyze for words I spent in my threads...I'm angry, but I want to publically excuse for my words...not for my works.
In a strange and morbous way, You have analyzed carefully my Ferrari: are You using always spending several weeks, searching for bugs, defects, or similar faces in all released cars? If yes,....personally I think this is a sick mind behaviour, because i never knew other people making the same...But probably, not. However, You forgot that the same seat belts, or cockpit parts, are also in other cars...but You spoke only about my Ferrari.
Therefore, the motive may be a clearly a paragon between the cars...You released a ferrari, but, strange for You, the quality of some parts was not the same as in previous released cars...Then, without emphasis, was released my Ferrari. Some people, seeing real photograps of Ferrari, made some comments on yours...the nose is wrong; the airscoop is too large; front fins are not those of last version; damage model is....missing; etc,etc
But this is not possible: this is Your Ferrari...and must be without defects.
"Let me see" in Nicola's car what can find.....Ah, yes. Found! Some polys on seat belts are like in my old car. This is surely a copied work...
Then, You contacted me in a private message, asking me to admit PUBLICALLY that my ferrari was not original...This was the motive for which I publically reacted. Yes, this is enough...
Now the explanations: You are a skilled and expert shaper, and You perfectly know that when You shape You are able to do exactly the same, or similar object You can discover on web...preferentially well done. This not means, however, that if You do something with some similar faces, or position, your work is no more original...also because we are speacking about particulars ( 0,1% of the work...or less? ), and not about the shape of airscoop, nosecone, or cockpit.
This is the history of GP4 updates...there is nothing of new.
Someone, like Yo in this case, may present good ideas ( You had it about 3d seat belts )....all other shapers will use this idea.
If I ever hadn't made this consideration during these years, how many helmets with Hans collar, air tube, or visor streeps, should be considered original? How many cockpits, or performances ( see magic files...Physics file values....) should be considered original?
And more....I could say You also copied my Pitot and antennas shape, from Ferrari 2005...but this is ridiculous, and i never though to say similar things.
And...Have You ever seen that for all the 2006 season there was on the web a Ferrari 248 , clearly derived from Your F 2005?.....But I never saw any your comment on this car....Why?
The replay is one: You have some particular motives against me....I don't know why, but this situation is in this way.
This is my last replay on Forum...You can add what You want...You can say what You prefer...People knowing me, and also critic, "adult" people from this GP4 Community can understand theirself.
With all the respect For You, Your works, and people from this Forum
Yours
Nicola
