Computers and the Advancement of Auto Racing Games
A new simulation system was recently created to allow the driver to also be able to drive stick shift. One huge advantage of a program like this is that it really allows the user to feel as though they are truly behind the wheel of a car, and are given an opportunity to receive driving experience in a totally safe environment. It’s a virtual reality program that allows you to experience everything possible of racing a car, in the safety of a stationary environment.
The VirtualGTâÂ?¢ is one of the systems most common that has the most advanced graphics, sound, and physics. The sounds were recorded from a real race track, therefore giving the best quality and true to life feel. The race tracks were done by using GPS and satellite tracking, and the graphics are the most advanced technology that we have available. Many pros use this program for all of their off-track racing practice because they say it’s as close to real thing as you can get.
This program allows the user to choose any car they wish to drive, and pick a track to race on. It gives a unique experience unlike any other simulation created before it. It’s the best method of on road practice, without really being on the road. It’s equipped with individual four corner suspension, allowing for a true-to-life feel, and speakers all around so you feel like you’re really there. The system allows you feel like you’re in a real vehicle, rather than constantly reminding you that you only playing a game. The seat is designed custom for this simulator, after a real racing harness seat, adding yet another real-life feel to it.
If you’re considering purchasing one of these, you better have the bank to back it. The system alone, without a screen is nearly $17,000. Then you have the choice of adding a 37 or 42 in plasma screen or a 75 inch projector screen. These prices range between 19 and $23,000. An expensive toy, but worth it if the experience or practice is what you’re after.
