Hi All!
I'm in a need of PC driving simulator/game for a teen to start learning to drive. Specifically what I need:
1. Realistic view (i.e. including rearview mirror, front stands (donno the proper name for these metal rods in the corners between frontshield and windshields), may be left/right mirrors.
2. City driving on a regular streets and highways - preferably with some traffic.
3. If car hits anything (curb, tree, other car, whatever) - even lightly - it either crashes or somehow gives driver a HUGE notice.
4. Support for steering wheel/pedals (I have Logitech GT).
5. Works on PC - Win 7 x64.
I don't care about hardware requirements - my comp can handle anything. Don't care about proper signaling, stop signs (or any signs for that matter), and other "good habits". All I need is to teach my teen to stay IN the lane, turn properly, and keep distance from other cars - that's all, really.
Originally I found Simuride on amazon, but it seems that all good reviews are left by company employees, and real customers put negative reviews.
I also got free Dirt Showdown game with recent videocard purchase, but after I tried it I found that it is completely NOT what I'm looking for.
It doesn't need to be a sim - game that does most of what I need will fit too.
Any recommendations?
P.S. It is very helpful if sim/game is downloadable or easily obtainable at local stores like Microcenter/Walmart/Target/Bestbuy/Staples.
Thanks in advance!
