How do you know that? Since they now own it and have an established relationship with DTG/Steam they probably had some say in what happened, though I agree it's possible part of terms for acquiring were to remove it. Anyway I think it's a good thing. AP know what they are doing and they will release it in a way that maximises quality and accessibility.

For perfectly sound and reasonable commercial purposes I would expect (whoever instigated the pulling...)

Never an issue to the "it's so easy" club. :roll:
Using RWTools isn't that difficult (it really is ..."so easy"...most of the time) and Gary's suggestions seems pretty to the point as common sense alternatives...

By reading the DTG explanation linked to earlier...

due to changes in contractual terms, in mutual agreement with the developers, Thomson Interactive and Oovee Game Studios.

AP had nothing to do with it's production, nor with it's distribution, and have only stepped in after the decision to remove it from Steam was reached----possibly with some slight overlap of course but they can't be seen as the instigators of the move.

My problem with these new super improved models is you can't just get in them and drive,and don't tell me to read the instruction manual,because i now cannot see to read the print in the manual,as I'm totally blind in the right eye and cannot see the small print in the left eye.

One answer to this problem could AP do what JT do,and put a switcher in,so that you can switch from advance mode to simple mode,and back.

I expect I'm not the only person for one reason or another have difficulties using the advance models.

From AP Facebook page:
Alex Jackson What's happened to the 150/2 pack as you've taken it down.
27 July at 17:24
Armstrong Powerhouse After consulting with Thomson Interactive, this enhancement pack will no longer be happening.
27 July at 17:36

Thought at first this may have been because Thomson Interactive would not allow the enhancement but it may be that both parties were working on a deal to sell the rights to AP.

Looks good. Only issue I had with this unit was that the camera position in the driving position felt too far forward.
