that's the thing that makes me pretty sure i won't like sim racing where even despite having f1 2024 and dirt rally in my library, i have yet to open either
I've tried it, it's fun. But it feels like a very expensive video game. I guess it can help drivers prepare for the track.
But as far as experiential? It's not the same.
I have this issue with racing sims, and also flight sims too.
Still didn't stop me buying a fuck load of monitors and an expensive flight yoke, throttle assembly, headset, pedals... 🫤
The only thing in my defence I can say is I could afford it at the time and wouldn't do it now.
It's a real pain, because I gave up my pilot's license some years back and no longer fly due to environmental concerns (also a lack of money since becoming disabled), but sims just don't come close to the real thing.
I've tried racing sims. And they are a lot of fun! It just always feels like a game and not the real thing.
I don't know, maybe it's the entire experience. No smell of tires and burning race fuel. No Gs.
It's a good time, just doesn't feel exactly right.
