If you have never been to the Niurburgring, Bathurst, Daytona, Silverstone, or any other track, laser scanning won't make your experience any better. You don't know sh!t to begin with. As long as you get some FFB to use as a driving aid, you will just drive the circuit as it is. You have no idea what the experience should be.
Until you drive the laser scanned version, because of accurate data being used to create the most real world construct for the user to experience. Plus you have the satisfaction of knowing its as close to real world as current technology can get us, rather then the product of poor data and guesswork.
Laser scanned tracks definitely makes my experience better, on multiple levels, and its become the expected standard for good reason. High quality representation in a simulation is one of the goals these games are built upon after al.
Odd that you think you are in a position to tell people what aspect of the experience they will enjoy, or that there is even a faction pushing for lower quality tracks.
whats next? Tire models too detailed?
after all, not having driven that car, on that track, with those tires, in those conditions, we have no idea how they would act. Detailed tire physics wont make your experience any better, you don't know **** to begin with, You have no idea what the experience should be. (oh wait, there's that straw man again)
