Definitely. Its a big drawback for us all, including developers, that we seem to be moving on without addressing this big hole in racing sims.
I dont understand the problem, maybe my average english, but OP, just press the F's, i think F8 is ABS and F9 is TC, also the driving aids depend of the class, actual F1 cars have no aids, but since 90s to 2008 they have some, or old DTM also have driving aids, personally try to match the actual class i drive.
Take traction control as an example, if you have a look at photos of the Peugeot 908's steering wheel, the TC is controlled by a rotary switch offering 9 different settings. Not High, Medium, Low and Off, lol.
Nope, just rFactor / 2, pCars and AC. So far, ONE sim has gotten it right. ONE. Cept TC because they refuse to add a overly simple one considering what the REAL systems are capable of. heh. And guess what - no one complains about having "assists" forced on.
