Just looking to get started

Hello, names Alistair and I am from N.Ireland. I am looking to know is it possible to get a car simulator like Microsoft flight sim.? I would really be thankful if you could reply back, thank you for your time!

What do you mean with "like MS Flightsim" ? Realistic? Public roads and traffic? Expandable? Learning how to drive on the PC?

That depends...by a car simulator, do you mean just a driving sim? There are several of those, but here we are mainly concerned with racing simulators. Formula 1, Nascar, Sports Cars, rallies etc. If you are looking for "JUST" a plain ol driving sim, there is one that Sierra put out two years ago that was aimed at drivers gettting their license(it was called Drivers Education, I don't know if it is still available.) So that is the focus...just driving and learning the rules of the road. If you meant racing sims, then just take a trip to your local software store and you will find lots of racing titles....Motorcycles, Formula 1, off road. Lots of variety...However, one warning ...avoid a title called Grand Prix Legends. It will seem like a beast to a new simmer and eventually will consume your time, your life and your carreer....:) dave henrie "Alistair Martin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Hello, names Alistair and I am from N.Ireland.

What sort of car would you like to simulate? Olde Style racing cars? then try Grand Prix Legends. Modern F1? then try Grand Prix 3 or F12K. Rally driving? then you've got Colin Macrae 2, or Pro Rally. I don't think that you can get a simulator which simulates just driving in different cars. Hope this helps - brian

Then some rallycross trying to find a gap in the barrier to get back on the track. -- Laurence Wilmer [email hidden] --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
