Well... that was interesting... and awesome...
Yesterday I was attempting an rfactor 2 race at the 1968 version of Spa with the sixties formula 1 cars.
Anyone that has tried/done this knows it's pretty hectic and there's often some crashing going on.
During my fourth or fifth attempt at making it through lap one, I went wide in Stavelot at high speed and ended up flying into the house on the outside of the track there. When the car had settled down, the chief asked me if I was okay because "it had been a big crash". I was in VR and a bit shaken after spinning and flipping the car so I was still counting the amount of wheels I had left when the chief begged me to respond and tell him I was okay. Without thinking twice and realizing this "chief" isn't an actual real person I replied with "yeah yeah, I'm fine", upon which he said it was good to hear me... :D
+1000000 for immersion right there!
The whole VR thing is pretty immersing as it is, but that one moment... wow... that was amazing.
I know posting this here is like preaching to the choir, but I just had to share this anecdote because I cannot stress enough how cool CrewChief is, and having a random (basically unessential) detail like this makes it sooo good!
