Offroad sim?

Offroad sim?

I'd like to see a 1st person Mickey Thompson Offroad simulator.  IMHO,
that's some of the best racing to watch.  I'd love to get an idea of
what flying through the air would look like...
I'd like to have jumps and washboards that would shake the screen so
much it would be hard to see.  They could have plenty of vehicle setup
options.  I still love getting sideways and powering out in any kind
of sim.  There would be plenty of bumping and bashing (although I do
plenty of that in f1gp) - they could even program in some driver
personalities.  Black flags for rough driving would be pretty cool too.
What else...hmm...how about track design...that would be way cool.

I think an offroad game would be a bit more arcadish but would hold
it's own in the world of simulations...

ohh I know..mud flying up on you helmet (view) with a special key to
yank a tearoff...they could do that in other racing sims too.

If you think they should do a NASCAR sim, you've got one...pick an
oval in ICR and pretend...it'll be pretty much the same :-) (whoah...
big flame bait there).  The programmers need to spend some time
on different styles of racing not different cars...

Just an idea I haven't seen...

These are my personal opinions.
