    Hi all,

    I am new to XSimulator. I'm working on a project to build an aftermarket part for a car that is going to function by taking in acceleration inputs from the OBD-II port of the car and reacting appropriately. The only info it needs to function in the acceleration in X, Y, Z, and Roll, Pitch, Yaw, so I though a good place to test it in a controlled environment before putting it to the test in an actual car would be a racing simulator. I'm hoping to use one of the plugins from this website and purchase the associated game in-order to create the simulated outputs I need. Since I don't know much about simulators or the various games that are supported, does anyone have some advice as to which would be best suited for my purposes?

    Thanks!
