    Motion is driven from physics, If said game has Shi* for physics, the motion will reflect that. Prime example, Forza 7.

    Hi, Nick thanks for the feedback!

    This leads me to a question however:

    Why would Turn Ten Studio spend tens of millions on a product that is half baked with a lack of good physics, when they stated earlier this year, the reason the where adding their game products (Forza 7 is just 1) to Windows PC, is because that's where the core of gaming lies. (or word to that effect) Now besides what they spend, this would make little sense to get the users offside by producing a lack luster product in the physics department; after all one of the primary reasons we all like to drive a virtual vehicle is the physics.


    I guess we will just have to wait and see!

    its Forza, Sorry but you have your hopes Far too high, The video's being shown already is blatant proof that its just the regular ol Console physics they've been at for the past 6 renditions.

    Why would they produce half baked physics, because console guys EAT it up like no tomorrow, Pay the asking price and praise it to be THE best of the best. o_O

    The Legit PC Sim Crowd doesn't even consider it to be a contender its that far down on the list...Sorry.

    Hi Nick, and thanks again for your input.

    By the way, I'm not a fan of XB, or MS; but unfortunately for me, I can't attempt to race on Linux:(

    Hi paulopsx2, thanks for the reply.

    Yes I do like it for the graphics; I've been using Apex for a while and in 4K it very nice, with no bugs not even with the wheel and peddles, I'd like to say that about PCars, ans AC! anyway even if it has no physics, I will probably still use FM7.

    Jerry.

    Hi guys, always not news for a plugin ? the game is disponible since one week.
    A complete telemetry is present on the game, so why everybody say than the game does not comport physique, telemetry, ...?

    telemetry is present. Problem is WINDOWS STORE games. sim tools dont have management for this. In fact, are windows store games are sucks. So many problems with overlay, fps, and telemetry.

    Simcommander has added support for FM7. Not sure if it works with simvibe etc, but it's nice to get direct drive wheel support without having to use gimx.
