Shame i find racing sims the most boring thing ever with flight sims coming a close second.

I agree with you about racing sims and, to a lesser extent, about flight sim games. However real flight sims, i.e. those used for pilot training, are something else entirely. I spent some time working on them a long time ago now, but even back in the late 1970's and early 1980's the immersive experience they provided was amazing. I never worked on a military sim but even a plain old Boeing 737 or Lockheed Tristar sim would often have an "acrobatic flight" mode that only the developers knew how to access, and I also fondly remember a bug that briefly gave us a four engined 737 that flew like a bat out of hell. However, to get back to "boring", one aspect of pilot training sims is that the training often is deliberately boring for long periods to replicate real flights, and only after the trainee is thoroughly bored is something exciting introduced - which might be anything from a simple indicator light failure up to multiple engine failures. Smoke pots (using hot oil) to simulate fires in electrical equipment were quite common and I remember being told of a sim that had the back of the cabin attached to a pneumatic ram so that it could induce ear popping to simulate an explosive decompression.

Who are you talking to??? I never wrote that LMAO!!!

Actually this is kind of interesting because @IceCold007 is completely right...it is the most boring thing ever! also too I ***** cars...they make me claustrophobic...so why in the flux capacitor would I want to imagine being in one??? :P

I'm Curious to know what racing sims you have experience with?

I hear many people say similar things, "Racing games are boring" but they have never actually driven / raced in a sim.

But 1st, I think you have to be passionate about driving and competitive racing.
If you have no interest in Racing, then yes, it won't appeal to you.

But still I'm interested to know which Sim, because there is a stark difference between the run of the mill Arcade driving game, and a racing Sim. set up in Simulation mode.
Most Sims, can be set to a novice / easy setting where they are very Arcade like.
Arcade being, step on Gas and Steer. yep, boring...

But a Sim is, Modulate throttle to avoid wheel spin, control braking to not lock up the tires, watch corner entry speed to avoid under steer, maybe counter with a blip of the gas to induce over steer, push a little harder each lap, shave tenths off your lap times..
Get all right, and you put down a fast clean lap.
Get it slightly wrong, and your at the back of the pack..
An hour long race are won, by Tenths of a second, sometimes it comes down to the thousandths of a second.

Here is a screen shot of the Closest finish I ever had.. A few days ago...
I blocked out the names of the other drivers..

but I won the Podium by 0.002 of a second... Two One Thousandths of a second !

Coming out of the last corner, accelerating to the Start / Finish Line, you might reach 100 mph at the Line.
At 100 mph How much of a difference is that? 3.52 inches.
and that is after 45 minutes of hard racing!

At the end of the race, your Heart is Pounding, hands are all sweaty, and you have a huge adrenaline rush..
You've been pushing the car and your ability to the limits on the raged edge non-stop for 45 minutes..
The Thrill of the race, the comradery of the competitors..
