    The airplane and helicopter guys like to practice with their SIMs but there are also some great virtual racing SIMs for cars and trucks.  Check out the viseo of VRC Pro.

    I think you are a car guy incognito as a plane guy.

    A garage full of planes and not so much as a tire or shock left from the cars says otherwise ;) (lol)

    I did play VRC a little but to get the full benefit or to get the most FUN out of the software I would need teh proper (USB) controller

    The keyboard just don't do it for me. In fact w/ the keyboard the control is just too skittish for my tastes, I found the steering almost impossible to control ... Too hard to drive!

    And it doesn't seem to support wide screen monitors ??
    I could NOT get away from the 4:3 aspect ratio, I need 16:9 Aspect Standard.
    I know that's just a minor annoyance but anyway there it is ...

    That's odd.  You would think all current generation games and SIMs to support wide screen monitors.  Does it say anything in the specifications about that?

    I don't know, now I think on it more it really looks like the positioning is broken, looks like part of the window is rendering off screen. But when I drive I'm getting all of the track ?? Later after my morning Java I'll do a screen-shot to show y'all what I mean

    That photo looks like the window is off over the edge of the screen.

    That's what I was thinking, I can't even move the window which is why I'm also thinking something is broken
