PC Civilian driving simulators

Hi, Does anyone know of an PC-based civilian driving simulators that are currently available? I`ve been doing a bit of browsing but haven`t found much. I`m looking for this kind of software just out of interest. And no, i`m not going to drive round the GPL tracks at 30mph ;) cheers, Ritchie

Sierra used to have a product called 'Driver's Education'. It came out 2 or 3 years ago, and I can't find it on the Sierra web-site other than in the Support section. But here's a link to one that's on sale on e-bay right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1271158814 "Springy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Yeah, you would rather drive 300mph in New York City, right? ;-) A PC-based civilian driving simulator? Sounds interesting, but probably too boring from the perspective of the game makers, and probably the public at large too. Only thing that comes to mind which are really not simulators are: MS Midtown Madness, which is an ok arcade game and GT's "Driver", which is also an ok ade game, but the physics in Driver, while not entirely realistic are actually pretty darn well made. In my opinion "Driver" feels a lot more real than MM. Driving controls are just too "arcady". "Springy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Everyday I slog along home, down city streets in rush-hour traffic. I'd love to have a way of seeing how fast I *could* take it, if only there was no one on the streets but me! :)

Closest thing to that I've driven is Midtown Madness 2 but the traffic AI is a bit wacky and the physics aren't quite there yet. Springy <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

There are plenty of AI improvements, mods, and cars. Try http://www.mm2cars.com There are many things to not like about mm2 but there are quite a few things to like about it also :) Charlie "Kirk House" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3b927a38$0$41815$[email hidden]... > Closest thing to that I've driven is Midtown Madness 2 but the traffic AIis

You might look into this Ritchie. http://www.3dfiles.com/games/odysseybycar.shtml "In this physically realistic simulation you can drive around freely in varied landscapes." Glenn Scott www.racersdomain.com "Springy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hmmm, sounds good, but the link is bad.
