Car/Driving Simulator For Pc, Is there such a beast

Post by maxq » Wed Oct 10, 2007 12:54 pm

someone I know is too scared to drive on the road so I thought it would be good for him to learn on PC first so he is a bit used to the whole concept...

Like something similar to Flight Simulator you know?

Any "simulator" I've come across so far for the PC are all race simulators.

Take them to a go kart track. You only learn to drive by getting in a car.

Quoted for truth. No simulator will replace the actual experience. If they're that scared, take them to an empty parking lot in an industrial area on a weekend when no one will be there.

You would be surprised how much racing rubs off on street driving. Knowing what will happens when you push the pedals and turn the wheel really raises cofidence.
