Does anyone have some suggestions on an actual driving simulation?
I was curious if someone might be able to offer some suggestions on an
actual driving simulation, as opposed to an arcade style game...with
less of an emphasis perhaps on racing, and more on being able to explore
various environments in a car. I'm actually not even sure such a
simulation exists; if not, then if someone might be able to suggest a
racing game that has the most simulation aspects, it would be much
appreciated.
Viper Racing might be a good place to start -- excellent physics
model, and a variety of tracks.
Midtown Madness may fall more into the "arcade" category but it's more
about driving in a city-type environment. The upcoming "Driver" game
should into the same category as Midtown Madness, but with more of a
plot.
Sierra/Papyrus produced a sim called "Drivers Education" a while back
that was actually a drivers ed simulator. You might try to see if
Sierra still has that available on their Web site.
