Sure, but they're still inside the car, and they still see a dashboard (or whatever has to go for that) with the speedo etc...

Authenticity is all it is about! Making it feel more real, immersing you in the game, that's what it's about! It's not about exploring the boundaries of what a game can do, we'v been there, and that's just not what people want. You don't want a shooter game in which you can't be killed, cause it's an obstruction of the ideal situation, either, do you?

Depends entirely on the game. In most it DOES match your physical wheel's movements exactly, and in many you can turn the onscreen wheel entirely so you only see your physical wheel. And even if it doesn't match the physical wheel's movements exactly, like the racing game i play most, TDU, it's not annoying at all to me. You're not looking at the wheel, you're looking at the road ahead
