Review of Virtual Riding Platforms

Hahah, indeed, you said ‘decent physics model’! My apologies. So all these platforms have some kind of physics models that take into account rider weight and power, and presumably aero characteristics. I think Zwift is definitely a bit iffy, e.g. ridiculous cornering speeds down the Alpe. It’s often said that RGT’s modelling is better, but I disliked the platform.
FulGaz ‘feels’ good, but I think all of the platforms I’ve looked at fail to take into account the likelihood of crashing if the rider corners too fast!
I suppose the physics becomes more important when doing virtual racing.
