    Wow, someone put there serious pants on today! I just thought it was interesting what it came up with. Someone had to give it the info in the first place.

    While I agree it can nowhere near match the forces you get when driving it does add some physicality to the experience and you agree it adds to the immersion.

    Who mentioned top tier sim racing? I do it because it's fun and static is boring to me.

    Indeed, AI slop can now be found pretty much everywhere!

    Not that AI can't be somewhat useful, my locally hosted AI runs my house and I can chat with it by voice (of course I called my pet AI Jarvis), but that does not mean it conveys actual authority, particularly in circumstances where common sense dictates otherwise.

    Wow, this conversation has taken an unexpected turn. I just thought it was interesting, especially on a web site and forum that promotes motion platforms for sim racing!

    I would argue and I've had customers tell me that traction loss platforms do actually add to car control rather than acting on the wheel feedback alone. Are you going to tell them they are wrong?

    Take a chill pill mate!

    I think what is fair to say is that AI used for marketing purposes, in many forms and areas, is common place, and that Max Verstappen, who is an F1 and Sim Racing world champion, is an authoritative source, legitimately pointing out the actual areas of actual convergence and difference. Are you saying Max is wrong?

    Neither I nor any of my customers are or ever will be F1 drivers or professional sim racers although several have track cars. They do it for fun I'm telling you of their feedback to me. I shall now email them all to tell them Noorbeast says what you are experiencing is wrong!!!!
