I quit for a long time because I don't like some of things with the iRacing format. They sent me an email accusing me of cheating which had to do with their points system. All I did was start a race and when I didn't think I was competitive I got out of the race so I wouldn't cause a wreck. I guess they thought I was sand bagging or something. It didn't sit well with me so I didn't want to race there anymore. So I just started racing again because of the pandemic and I'm just starting to get the hang of it again. I'm just so, so.

The legend cars are pretty fun

I've been watching some of the chopped down versions and highlights, but I just can't get into watching an actual iRace.

I can see how it might be fun, and incredibly frustrating, for some of these guys.

I find it interesting because it's tantamount to what I think all gaming should be. The son has an Xbox, and I just don't get it, but you give me a seat, a steering wheel, surround screen, clutch, break, and gas pedals, and a rather real experience, and I think I'd like it better than some gay controller deal. Not unlike flight simulators where you have a complete set of controls, pedals, stick/wheel, and surround screens, that might be interesting...

Oh absolutely.

I game a little with my young nephew but find many games just too damn boring. If you gave me a rig like some of these guys are using and the experience these systems create I could get into the gaming part of it. I just can't watch it as a "fan" like many are.

And I would LOVE to get one of these systems when my son resumes his flight training.

I don't play "controller games". Frantically pushing a button just isn't for me so racing is the only sim I have ever really done. I don't have a fancy race chair though. I have a wheel mounted on a typewriter table and I taped(duct tape!) a short stool to the side of it with my shifter mounted on it (right by my right thigh where a shifter belongs.) and then of course the pedals on the floor. Actually I wrapped the whole table and chair in black duct tape so it would be "cool" I use a 50" big screen for a monitor and I sit 2' from it in a office chair. I have a sound bar with a sub that I can crank up. It all makes for a nice sim. I used to have my old surround sound with a big subwoofer hooked up to it and it sounded just like there was a car in my basement. I could rattle the pictures on the wall. All in all have created a pretty fun experience. The only thing that ruins it is the "wreckers". There are some real dumbasses out there.

You can find tons of setups online or build one. Too bulky and too ugly and people get bored with them. I also host a facebo page called Cats in simulatior cockpits because cats love racing seats

The only video game I ever got addicted to was a late '90s WWII simulation titled "Airwarrior." It was one of the first online games, and it originally used the old GEnie network. IIRC, it cost about $2-$3 an hour to play. I got so obsessed with that game that I spend over $275/month, basically a car payment back then, for over a year.

Once I got really hooked, I bought the shell of an old Star Wars coin-op video game for $100 (some of you might remember this; looked kind of like a plane cockpit), installed my computer monitor behind the magnifying lens, installed brackets to hold both my throttle and my joystick (Thrustmaster), and screwed my rudder pedals to the floor of that thing. I also installed an old car seat for added comfort, speakers, and a phone headset so I could talk to my wingmates instead of having to type everything.

Kind of glad that game went away, just because if it hadn't I'd probably still be a bartender living in a crappy apartment dating a stripper.
