When I'm not pretending to be a guitar player, I pretend to be a race car driver.

I have flight controls, but as it has evolved, it's no longer easy to switch controls from car to plane (everything's bolted in), so these days it's just Shelby Mustang.

haha cool. not much train busting in a shelby...that is a badass set-up though.
i used to live with gamers and they had nothing that cool even at Eidos (tombraider) where they worked.

will it actually SOUND like a 427 Ford.....with Westlake heads and bundle of snakes headers??

 

[mongooz]

AND....can you program in the 1966 LeMans course.....not today's course. we can't be having that DAMN chicane in the middle of Mulsane

 

[Flatspotter]

Yes, it sounds like the real thing (more or less). I have a 5.1 sound system with a home theater receiver, so I can get it plenty loud. I don't have the '66 Le Mans track, but I have the '79 version, which is still before they emasculated the Mulsanne straight.

Just ran a Nissan GTR (race version, not street) at Interlagos.

The screenshots are rFactor 2 by ISI, running on the PC (not available for consoles). I'm driving a 1969 Lola T70 MkIIIB at a track called Poznan, in Poland.

that's nice looking course. i've been to Mid Ohio coarse a few times and while not as long, it does have some nice straights.

besides the GT-40, i love to have a go in both the 917 (from the Gulf team, you should be familiar with that one) and the 962 that either Derek Bell drove or the Holbert Lowenbrau one.

Yeah, it's a great looking track. The guy who made it was a first-class modder, and got hired to make tracks by a rival company. I have Mid Ohio, too. It's one of my favorite tracks.

I have the Gulf 917 in the previous version of rFactor. The old cars are a blast to drive; they slide all over the place, and only sort of go where you point them, as opposed to modern cars which are pretty much point and squirt.

As a matter of fact, it is! I started using it on simracing forums, and was too lazy to come up with a new name for guitar forums.

GPL still has a rabid following, since there's never been a sequel, and there are literally thousands of tracks for it. rFactor 2 has some historic 60s F1, F2 and F3 cars, so that fills my 60s open wheel needs.

I was just watching How It's Made on Science Channel, and they did a piece on racing simulators. They showed how this one is built: http://www.cxcsimulations.com/products/motion-pro/
