Three Grumpy Simmers - EP27 - Realism And Immersion

The Three Grumpy Simmers are back once again to give their take on the seeming never satisfied quest for Realism and Immersion. With the recent release of Prepar3D v5, as well as the upcoming new sim from Microsoft, questions about this topic have once again bubbled to the for in major ways.

Each of us muse on the meaning behind each of these words, and discuss how to balance these quests with the realities of our world. They also go through some of the challenges faced in this never ending quest, and pose the question of have we gone to far?

No tire smoke was harmed during the production of this video.
