look at the base of the wheel and youll see all aids are on (bright green)
thats why his driving is so bad, its limiting his steering input (steering
help is now activeted/deactivated by f1 key) and why theres no damage.

Trust me when i say its easier to spin with the aids all off.  (i spun under
braking just after the tunnel when i switched all aids off at ECTS when i
was in the tunnel, i guess everybody that tried it after me had fun:))

I agree, after GPL, it just seems funny to see a wheel turn by itself. I
have to admit, I did not care for the hands at first, but now I prefer them,
and expect sims to have them.

I must admit, I'm surprised to be hearing this voiced so often.  Think about
it: the wheel *won't* be mysteriously rotating by itself; your own steering
wheel, mounted ever-so-close in front of the screen, will be rotating along
with it, turned by you.

Just a thought . . .

So why bother showing the wheel at all? Why not simply show the LCD data
dashboard behind it if we're supposed to be looking at our own wheels? :-)

Because most modern F1 cars have some of the displays on the wheel?!?

Well why not simply do what was done in GP2...have the wheel fixed?

Yes I agree about the night driving. It will be interesting to see where we all
gravitate to (wheel, arms, nothing) with a helmet display, short and long term. In
GPL I found myself using the arms' sharp visual cue to keep my steering inputs as
smooth as possible.  Also it was my first clue indicating a noisy pot problem.  I
haven't played GPL in a while, can't know if I would tire of it eventually.
Here's a hub for VR helmets, still a bit scary in price and I wouldn't want to meet
a guy wearing one in a dark alley.

A true pioneer.  This is man who deserves the first ride in the Hyper Stimulator/GP3 expo
tent demo.  He just needs a good size belt to strap him (and apparatus) securely to the
headrest of the Hyperstimulator chair.

You must have one of those special wheels that displays speed, rpm, lap
position, etc.
