Alright, picked up BeamNG.drive as it was on sale. The physics are good. Really good. And the UI is a lot more intuitive than in Rigs. As expected from being the same team, there are a lot of things that are similar. The controls are also pretty fluid. Not yet sure how well the AI controlled cars work out but we’ll get there 🙂

Passed on Euro Truck Sim 2 for now as I had a hard time finding ways to turn it into a car sim

Update time!

Been spending the last few weeks getting acquainted with the realism and different vehicles in short bursts so today I gave it a longer session. It went rather well. They’re still working on the AI traffic so that it’s not basic but I did a decent job of driving in it and got some highway driving in. Also tried out some of the scenarios and they’re pretty fun. One of them has you driving a police car with your objective being to drive a semi of the road. Others are more basic, having you simply crash your vehicle. Still need to keep practicing, though 🙂

Edit:

Still don’t have a real car to practice on, though. More on that in the private thread later 🙁
