[Gordon Steadman]

I suspect that for most people, a start with analogue would be a softer and more encouraging way to start.

They could then, perhaps, get into the more complicated stuff once they have a better idea of what they are getting into. I have absolutely no interest in digital slot racing but still feel as enthusiastic about analogue as I did 50 years ago.

It's easy to be evangelistic about your chosen path but the complications might be just a little too much for some.
