I’d like to see any and all of Codemasters’ PC games add proper support for triple screens. Sometimes called projection correction, this renders the side screens’ views independently, taking into account the angle that the player will have rotated them to maximise the field of view angle and to ensure their eyeline is at 90 degrees to every screen.

All of the Codemasters games so far have assumed that all 3 screens are instead positioned at identical angles, which is unrepresentative, as desks just aren’t that wide. If the player does rotate the side screens, the result is that Codemasters games horizontally stretch the side screens in a ridiculous way, horribly distorting the perspective.

Weirdly, there are only about 10 sims doing this properly. The following site lists most of them. Since then, the tiny developer behind KartKraft has added it too, so if they can achieve this, Codies can too.

Reiza Studios, a highly reputable PC racing simulator developer based in Brazil, already has the Senna licence:

They’re taking their time about it, mind, but their Stock Car, Truck and ’88 McLaren Honda F1 simulators are already actually pretty damn realistic, so are well worth a look.
Although personally, I am just raring to go on Assetto Corsa by Kunos, which will utterly destroy Gran Turismo and Forza in realism stakes:

To get an idea of what Kunos can do, check out the realism on this old sim, netKar pro, now available for a ridiculous 4 euros, and probably runnable on any functioning PC:

It’s a crying shame that even reputable F1 fanatics are so blinkered to ignore serious racing simulators. You should all check this one out and see what you’re missing. Although note that you’ll need a wheel and pedals to drive a car…
