I'd love nKP to work out. I really really would. It has the potential to be a true rival to LFS, and indeed completely outclass it in some areas like drivetrain simulation (until Scawen gets round to it).
But Kunos (and his band of merry men) either ignore bugs, cover them up (e.g. the driving upside down bug was fixed by making the cars balance on the roll hoops, so the wheels couldn't go near the ground. Do the cars fall over? Not in my experience), or generally pretend they don't exist.
I don't WANT to agree with Kid on this. I don't WANT him to be right. But read his posts, look at the history of nK, and you'll find Kid is so close to 'the truth' that it's amazing.
nK is complete crap at the moment. When my 'semi-uber' system can give me more than 35fps MAX, sound that doesn't lag/crackle, controls that don't lag behind my inputs, multiplayer that works the majority of the time for the majority of the people trying (e.g. LFS and rF, which does at least allow you to connect to other people), an interface that isn't designed by a blind child with learning difficulties, and made by someone who bursts into tears at the slightest hint of critisism then leaves his forum to rot for 6 months can cope with it it'll be a whole lot better, but I can see two or three PC upgrades coming before nK is stable and ready for V1.0
No, in it's current guise nK is worthless. In it's current guise the development process of nK is also worthless. Which is a shame, as I was looking forward to at least one single lone sim to challenge LFS. Next please!

. the netcode is coming along nicely. the patches have slowed a bit so they must be working on something. i like the force feedback. it allows me to dance on the limits of traction sorta like lfs. except it feels rougher than lfs right now. we need bootleg formula ford in lfs
