Hi,

Does anyone know of a good PC software that helps you drive? I don't
want a game, got plenty of that, just a driving simulation that helps
you learn to drive. Thanks!

There is a simulation called 'Real Car simulator'.. It's Japanese and a
port of the Gran Tourismo from PS. But it seems really good..

Try Driver's Ed 99 by Sierra

possibly Midtown Madness. It's possible to drive "properly" in the free
roaming mode.

I do remember seeing such software at Office Depot once, but I can't
remember the name of it. It was specifically designed to help you pass
your driving exam. Best to do a search on the web for something like
"driving simulation+exam".

Yep, it's very good, but some of the options are in Japanese.

There is a product called Sierra Drivers Learning something, but that
basically helped with understanding the rules of traffic.

I think a computer sim will be very limited in learning the aspects of
driving a road car. Although a racing game will help improving
eye-hand-feet coordination. This topic is under research by a coworker
of mine.

its in the wheels-section of tuning parts (new cars, dealers) in gt2
where you can choose "real-life"-tires in gt2... and a rather strange
driving experience.
