    Cant go wrong with Project Cars. Physics are good and its a lot of fun. The others are also good and I think you would enjoy anyone of them.

    With respect to motion Assetto Corsa physics are just plain awesome. Dirt Rally is great for the rally genre. Pcars is very pretty but slightly arcady.

    For me AC is my go to driving experience, now that they have VR implemented, but everyone has their own preferences.

    I own and play all these games, AC is still my favorite game, NTL here is my suggestion in the following order :

    1. pCars is the game at the first choice for visuals and arcade gaming, VR support.
    2. The game for multiplayer gurus and real online battleships is iRacing, native triple support, VR support
    3. The physics gurus like the perfect tyre model of AC, best FFB ever. AC also offers Rally mods and great cars as well, native triple, 3DVision and VR support
    4. Dirt Rally only for Rally enthusiasts, IMHO not at the same level like the other games listed above.

    AC no questions asked. Pcars physics are a joke and the game is mostly arcade stuff situations. I say dont waste your $$. AC DLC's are cheap as dirt and NO OTHER sim can touch its licensed content.

    If your a Rally fanatic, then Dirt is just something you have to have. While its not 100% Sim, its THE best rally game out currently.

    Question, once Ive installed a pcars plugin, it asks me to direct it to the games directory. Pcars is run via Steam now and Ive tried every folder on C:/Steam I have. Always comes up with an invalid folder? What are we supposed to use if the games on that damn Steam?

    Ok, after some reading here I found the correct path and have that done now. Still not getting any movement, but I think theres an issue with my other settings like my com ports and stuff I have to figure out first I guess.
