Picking XMR as an example:
Years ago I read that Chardon "preview" or "review" on GTR Evo,
XMR......me, I'm more of a plug and play type of dude, so I don't find that game so appealing, but for sure, it has better physics than pcars.
Gtr Evo is the one game that reminds me of driving real world cars, and whilst it's clearly more difficult than arcade racers to drive, the difficulty isn't past or well past the point of reality, plus when you factor in the "quality" of the FFB, it allows you to go progressively faster simply by feel, as do the very best sims.....I can't say the same for some other sims which demand track knowledge just to drive at a reasonable rate.
