A. Real 3D means 3D tire/wheel simulation that allows cars in XMR move at any 3D surface, not only 2/2.5D racing track like in many other sims.
Well, that's the main and fundamental difference between XMR and many other sims.

Q. How many people can connect in multiplayer?
A. Any number, up to 32 players.
Q. I am thinking of buying this game, but I really need to see how good the physics are and how well the force feedback reacts with my Logitech G25.
This is hard since the demo doesn't want to work with my G25.
A. XMR works fine with G25.
Check your settings in GameMenu->Options->Controls->FF/Zones.
Q. Does this take the G25 racing wheel with clutch and gearbox?
A. Yes, the game supports any DXInput compatible steering wheel with clutch.
Q. Can I use the Xbox 360 controller?
A. Yes, you can use it.

A.
The demo version supports up to 2 AI Cars. The full version supports up to 5 AI Cars.
AI is still in development and will be improved step by step.
Q. Is it possible to extract the accelerations, the velocities and the rotation velocities in 3 axis, so to "drive" a motion platform?
A.
Yes, it's possible. Full version includes SDK that contains an example to get all in-game data like torque, power, speed, acceleration, rpm, temperature, suspension data, pitch, roll, yaw, slip ratio, slip angles etc.
You can do your own telemetry system, code for motion platform etc.
Q. HDR on nVidia video cards looks like low resolution sometimes.
A.
If you are using HDR rendering on nVidia video cards and screen looks like low resolution, try to set another resolution to fix this problem.
Q. You mentioned that the simulator "supports any DXInput compatible steering wheel with clutch", and you left out steering wheel WITH PEDALS only. Can we assume that both kinds of steering wheels have full support?
A.
XMR supports both kinds of steering wheels (up to 4 devices) as you want at any configurations (together, only steering, only pedals, only clutch etc).
Q. Can I use it as Driving Simulator?
A.
