My youngest has a thousand hours plus in this game, but every time I've seen him play it, he spends more time faffing about in the menus than driving it. I made a comment about it one day, and he said that's what's fun about it. (His Steam review just says "It's not bad" LOL)

I kind of agree, though, although I prefer just driving in it. There's a setting for everything. I wish more games were as configurable.

That said, I understand your frustration with that.

    I can see it almost being a very useful "tool" for people who are so inclined. Race teams using it for sim training etc, i think you could even learn to drive with it, but for me it just doesnt cut it as a game. Not yet, well, its been around what 10 years?

    Totally fair. My go to gag for that kind of comment is "well it's only in early access" :)

    It is very much a sandbox where you have to make your own fun. I personally like to just hop in and drive around because I reckon it has the best feeling force feedback and driving physics in any simulator available. And the fear of crashing is real, especially in VR.

    I can recommend Jimmy Broadbent's Beamng videos from over the years. There's some wild and wonderful scenarios on there.
