Sierra puts out a program called "Driver's Ed 99" which may suit your needs. Go to this URL: http://www.sierra.com then click on "store" from the pull down menu, choose 'driver's ed 99' to see little blurb about it and some screenshots. ~daxe

Was it Drivers Education '99 by Sierra? https://store.sierra.com/ObjectBuilder/ObjectBuilder.iwx?processName=ProductPageSierraSKU&Merchant_id=1&SKU=70490 It's a tool for learning how to drive: Turning signals, checking mirrors, etc. Jason. Nos wrote:

I have this title, figuring n2 was some part influencing in the code... NOT... it wont hardly work with the Thrustmaster t2 which I handed down with the game to my 10 year old daughter... after an hour trying to get the t2 to work with it, I gave up... funny it wants to work with my Nascar pro? Oh well, she'll kick your butt in Monster truck madness, so who needs drivers ed? But I digress.... the title is neat in the sense of teaching you about rules and stuff, but its driving sim is very bad, I mean really bad. worse than that arcade game I loved as a kid, ZZZZAP (driving a datsun z car down a path marked with light bars on pong like video screen was better that this sim... maybe PAPy could go down that path, now that HEAT has kicked some butts with its release? I could easily see the GPL engine used in defensive driving/ drivers ed software!!!! My final thoughts? Use Drivers ed 99 to take the tests and then run midtown madness (I assume it has a "cruise the town" mode play?) my 2 cents "daxe" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Sun, 24 Sep 2000 02:47:12 +0300, "Mike" <[email hidden]> wrote: > > >I am looking to find a car simulator program to use it in a driverslearner

Seriously, some months ago I was asked to bring my computer and wheel to work beacuse some driver-teachers who was here trying our full-scale simulator was also going to try to drive Midtown Madness. It was a great laugh, because non of them was able to adjust to simdriving. One of them almost tore my MSFF to pieces because he thought the wheel had the same lock angle as a real life wheel (several rotations). We are hopefully going to do some reaseach this fall to see what simdriving can offer for real life practice. -- Olav K. Malmin remove spam when replying

Nascar Heat in beat the heat feature could work. Especially just let them try to get by the 15 car pileup. That will teach car control and looking ahead. You can also let them drive the "Block the leaders so your team mate can win" one. That teaches good defensive driving...good to know if someone is really pissing you off.

Sorry forgot the ;-) in the post. I thought I was obviously kidding. Though I do like the name calling. Its always good to know people can still do it. Jesse Black "Michael Young" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
