Hello,

Does anyone know of a good backhoe simulator.

The one at http://www.racesimcentral.net/

is nice but I wonder if there is something more sophisticated available.

Thanks,

Mark

   There was a Bob the Builder construction set that INCLUDED a tractor
controller that was strapped on top of your keyboard.  You could drive and
use a frontloader, a backhoe, a Bulldozer and one other big construction
rig.  The keyboard controller included up/down levers, toggle key, air-
whistle, left right either via a steering wheel or by the tread levers.
Tasks included feeding the animals at the zoo with the front loader, Ah
yes...
the 4th mystery rig was the Wrecking crane where you could knock down
buildings.  The backhoe was used for hole digging and the bulldozer to push
all the garbage from the beach into the ocean...Train and truck loading was  
possible.  For my 6 year old granddaughter it was cooler than cool for
about two weeks.

Dave,

From what I can learn of Bob the Builder it seems like the simulator
would be less sophisticated than what I am looking for.

Thanks for trying to help.
