Xbox??? Who is this Xbox??
Are there any driving simulators with traffic on roads out there for windows?? I don't care if its free or not.
 
I just looked at some youtube Videos, and it simultaneously looks like the best and worst game ever.
 
It follows the whole range of "Simulator 2009" games, Farm Simulator 2009, Forklift truck Simulator 2009 etc. Same game engine.

He is telling the truth before anyone thinks he is making it up.:lol: One of the etc is Bus Simulator.:yuck: I wonder if anyone actually buys these games and if you did, how much did it cost you and did you regret it?
 
The Forklift simulator, is like seriously the best game ever. I think it's beating GT5 👍



Good Lord, a farming simulator.

 
The farming video is magic. Maybe deep down I'm destined to be a farmer.
 
I love the way the cows are oblivious to the tractor nearly running them over! :lol:
 
I need all three of those games in my life, where do I buy them at?

I wonder if you can actually farm? Or just drive around in one of your many tractors looking at a farm.

I'd love the driving simulator to allow you to 'hoon' around in cars anywhere you fancied. Virtual roadtrip to the Applecross Pass in the Caterham, anyone?
Basically GT/Forza/other sim on public roads.

Most of that video is mods, no cows in the standard game (Yes I have played it :P )

You farm, silly to have a farming sim then just look at the farms. It's actually fun for a little bit and the physics engine is pretty good but it gets very repetative quickly, hence it has a big modding community.
 
Is it possible to upgrade the traktor? I'd like to make my virtual neighbour jealous with my sideskirt/spoilers and twin turbocharger. And racing stripes. .... racing stripes hmmmm :)

In addition to that. I once tried that driving simulator. It's so bad and boring. it makes me wanna read a book.
 
I watched one video where a guy had a Corvette Z06 on his farm.

You can buy better tractors, even a black one, all "Fendt" brand but pretty much every tractor/harvestors and machinery made is available as mods.


Z06 is a mod.

It just worries me you know this.

Why? I played it for a bit, got bored and havent touched it since. No difference to people that play flash games or "the sims" or something. As I said it gets boring pretty fast.

Some Niche simulators interest me as sometimes you find good ones and learn quite a bit.

Well here is a new one that is coming out soon.

If this isn't a niche market I don't know what is.
 
Haha, I bet that will be the same as farming simulator but with different machinery and things to do.

Looks to me like they're milking this simulator engine for everything they can. If they make enough niche sim games they will get enough people to 'bite' to justify them I guess.

I played the Farming sim, thats enough for me for a while.

I don't suppose it will cost them too much to make them and they must be making a profit, because they have been doing them for a few years now. Good luck to them I say, I am not buying any though.:sly:
 

World Racing 2 has some Mods with free roam maps and traffic.
But i dont know if you can get these anymore.

I think this video shows just how great a 'fast road' driving simulator would be, especially if you could drive in environments modelled after real life locations (Applecross, Buttertubs, EVO Triangle, Stelvio, etc).

I think that the surroundings in the video really draw you in, reminds me of hooning around country lanes on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

... well that bus simulator looks fun if it was with gta 4 game engine etc 👍

... i have bought trainz 2009 ... and i like it ... but not fot the gameplay really ... more building the landscape etc (like with the sims XD)

On Topic:

As said above world racing was okay game,
but for me i use gta san andreas with downloaded real cars (& busses ;) ). But still its not a 'Simulator'. But it is a city with traffic, okay graphics and lots of car content to find :) and you have to watch out for the police hehe
