And if this whole thing dopuyte even and portable steering wheel with pedals, then the computer can arrange quite realistic racing competitions.

By simulators also include sports games, such as soccer or basketball. There are also quite different products in this category, called immersive simulators. The point of them is to immerse the gamer in the gameplay, literally force to get used to the role of a character and play for him, living his virtual life.
