More seriously, does it look ok and do you notice any advantage?

A little, can more easily spot cars coming up the side. Need to lower some graphics options though, the settings I had for 1920x1080@60fps are getting me between 30 and 40fps at 2560x1080.

Speaking of classic tracks, modern F1 on Rouen les Essarts in pCars is fun and scary at the same time.

So is the Lotus 49.

Or any of the Road D cars.

Really, anything faster than 60mph.

I've got a Dell U3415 and it's great. A few things get a bit stretched (Automobilista's menus and driving HUD, pCARS's telemetry overlay, etc) but for the most part everything works fine.

Can confirm, I've had this one for 2 months. And yeah, most of the issues I have been finding with it are UI related, as most UIs weren't developed with wider than 16:9 in mind (Just like 10-15 years ago a lot of games were still being developed with nothing wider than 4:3 in mind)

my problem with a racing cockpit i that I would still be swapping out everything because I play flight sims as well: for civ sims yoke in place of wheel, throttle quadrant in place of shifter; and for milsims, Stick in place of shifter, another shifter holder on the left for throttle, and rudder pedals for both.

Yeah, these are the same people that took FlightGear (a free, open-source flight sim) and charged $97 ("marked down" from $197) for it calling it ProFlightSimulator. Mind you, X-plane, in its current beta build for version 11 is more feature complete and is $60.

ive been on the fence about beam ng but this is kinda cool. They are working with automation so anything you make in that game there will port into beam ng and they are bringing the test track. I had been thinking about that game too since the competitions in that thread seemed fun but i never got a round to buying it either.
