Thread: Racing Simulators

Sort of in the line of virtual vehicles. Has antone had a fiddle with a race sim called Live For Speed, not (r) not to be confused with the kiddy krap needforspeed. Live for speed is avery good Racing simulator with online racing leagues from 1300cc front wheel drive all the way up to F1, with the help of F1 teams like Sauber BMW to generate the physics. It is a free download from Live for speed.net, that allows a bit of a play on one track (Blackwood Park England) with a one of registration of 25 English pounds that opens up a world of real racing. Yes folks no kiddy stuff here. Real racing against real world class drivers in real leagues.

Then there is Flight Gear, an interesting and improving open source Flight sim.

Next is Sim Ship, not to be confused with vitua sailor, sim ship is used to help train sea going officers in primary ship handleing.

It may be coming apparent I am not into puter games much. But a good simulator will keep me enthralled for hours.

Will keep all posted from time to time as I find more GOOD stuff.

We seem to paralell a bit quiggers. drove carriers at 16, onto destroyers at 18, nothing like 50,000 HP, back to carriers again at 21, on the flight deck. We don't have cruisers, used to, but not when I was in.

Raced bikes for years till it started to hurt too much.
