racing wheel for my stepfather for his birthday.
In his youth, he used to race sports cars for fun quite a bit. He's
always been into car racing and never misses any major racing event
anywhere, either in person or on tv if he can't make it.
Anyway, my wife recently purchased for me a MOMO Racing Force and a
few games (NFS:HS2, Rallisport Challance, Total Immersion Racing).
I'm pretty new to the racing sim field (been an RPG'er mostly) but I
am having an absolute blast and I figured he'd get a big kick out of
this. (Especially since my mother won't let him buy a Ferrari!
This'll be about as close as he's like to get to racing again...)
Now, while I was playing these 3 titles above, I can see that if I put
my stepfather behind the wheel of these games, he would have some fun
but would likely be kind of frustrated. It has taken me a while to
get used to the feel of the games and to keep from weaving ALL over
the road and careening off of the edges, guard rails, etc. Once I had
that was down I've been having a blast.
But I can't imagine my stepdad having that kind of patience for the
very FIRST racing sim game he would ever play.
I figure, I'd like to give him something easy, that will be a lot of
fun, hopefully show off some decent Force Feedback, and bring back the
racing memories. Once he gets the hang of using a computer racing
wheel to drive a virtual car, he'd probably be happy to graduate up to
the more serious racing sims and have a real good time.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
