OK so I'm an old fart who knows nothing about home video games. I do enjoy AX'ing but find that my eyes can't keep up with the car and the course at times. I was thinking that if I spent some time over the winter playing some fast action video games that maybe my visual abilities would improve and my driving would get better.
I would like some recommendations for a cheap video game system PS2, Xbox ????and maybe some games to try. I have a good sized HDTV so something designed for that format would be nice. I appreciate all your thoughts. Thanks, Bill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

I have never tried any computer racing games since I was a kid. I just downloaded LFS and tried to make a single lap using my keyboard (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I didnt do so well, but it was fun. I am now downloading Rfactor and GT Legends...
I will practice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

I will practice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) You need a wheel. Using the keyboard works well for some games, but all of the racing sims will be all but impossible to control w/o a wheel. Logitec makes a good one for moderate dollars, and a great one (g25) for mega dollars. I have the cheaper one and am very happy with it. If people want to race on line again, let me know. Last time I got a league together was more then a year ago. Zach |
