2016 was an incredible year for sim racing. To end the year Shaun Cole of The Simpit gives his thoughts on what made 2016 special as we prepare for an even bigger year in sim racing.
Thank you, Shaun, and because of your thorough review I ended up with my Rseat N1, which I love.
Quit simply, I think 2017 will be split between two main stories. First, I believe by the end of the year one of the major sim racing companies will come out with, or at least announce, a direct drive wheel. Secondly, we'll see a doubling of not only the number of games using VR, but of the games' quality, as well. I think it is going to be a great year for our hobby/passion!
Raceroom made big improvements and is now, at the end of 2016, a real contender on the market!

While I can't imagine wanting an Hyundai interior, it is very well done and looks incredible. Well done.

I like War Thunder, it has some real decent triple screen graphics and sound for flying the airplanes. I prefer the bombers at Arcade Battle rating, but some of the radial engined fighters are a lot of fun too. Other than that, I am an avaid truck driver driving a lot in American Truck Simulator and European Truck Simulator 2. They even have some really good multiplayer for both games, the ETS2 has a Winter mod built in, it looks like Winter with snow on everything and falling. Both games even have a short range "cb radio" that works in line of sight, you just set the microphone in the game and then it goes to a hot mike and people can hear you, but if you get out of sight, you can't hear each other. Now I wish other games would get the technology and incorporate it.

Just received an email from Jon at BasherBoards. He days he has a prototype in the works that would allow you to use a shifter... Will have more on this as it becomes available
