Check out how “realistic” these simulators are. Check the first short lvideo that compares real street course on the left, simu,action of same track,on the right, and notice how almost every bump is represented in the Sim that the real track has. It’s unreal how much effort they put into racing Sims these days, and how “close” (relatively speaking) they are to driving g the courses in real life.
There are some differences to be sure, but the experience is still pretty cool, and fairly close to driving I. Real life, just minus the risk factor z d a few mi or things like smell, changing atmospheric conditions (the Sims replicate it, but it’s not like having rain slap you in the face at 200 mph, things like that)
These racing Sim systems are pretty state of the art, around $50,000 or so. They do centrifugal force pretty well, and the steering wheels have motors on them to replicate the massive torque (you can get some for much .ess, but you would, need a pretty solid desk as it really cranks the snot out of the support znd the driver)
I have just a very basic desktop setup. The steering wheel has force feedback, which again. Is really close to what actual driving would be as you go,over the bumps, and experience gforce,though it’s not as real,as the real,thing of course, but pretty close.
Bu t yeah, watch the vid if interested, it’s pretty amazing how close the pseudo track is to the real tracks. The simulator system in the video the setup rotates, dips, climbs, rocks the person on bumps, etc. Pretty cool i thought

dude, they are six miles from my house...
if you look, that track is here at the Glen, and it starts right before the bus-stop
I needed an escape so am putting together a modest setup for flight simulators and also some of the racing simulators from Steam. Helicopters and MotoGP are interests but also cars. Done all this years ago and back for another. I wish graphics cards were cheaper / more available, though! I have my flight stick but which wheel / pedal setup are you using?
