Dream Auto Sim !!!

Hi all,

Well I was wondering what would be everyones dream Auto Simulator?. This
could mean anything from F1 to just a car you own sim !!

Also to what level would you draw the line on the word Sim..?

Thanks for any advice or info !

Driving Simulator.
Instead of Flight Simulator.
Have the whole world ,or at leat North America to start, at my disposal with
all the real highways and cities to cruise around in.
I would be more concerened with the scenery accuracy then the physics and ai
accuracy but would still like it to be pretty realistic.
Simulate driving from Florida to California, gas stops, flat tires, speed
limits, construction, traffic all the fun of driving in real.
Might need to 100GB of HD space to install this one though!

I like sportscar racing. So having the ability to share a car world
wide with 3 other online drivers would be a big feature. (of course real
time night lighting, weather and huge fields go without saying)
I like Champcars, so having the ability to have a push to pass button
for the turbo would be cool.
I like F1 so having a feature that forces you to play online with only
yourself is not a good idea. Get Bernie out of F1 sims.
I like Hemi's. So a classic 1970 Trans Am sim is neato.
I like Super Touring Cars. 2 litres of attitude and FWD to whip you
back to the racing line.
I like Bathurst, Le Mans, Road America. Tracks baby Tracks.
Did I mention Can AM?

An Auto Sim vs a racing sim? no contest...must be a racer.

A classic 'sim' begins to lose it's focus when career movies and
outside fluff gets in the way. STill a classic sim can be a dry barren
place so to grab the attention of new users, you may need something extra.

to intricate and complex for me to understand)

I have several:

1967/1984/1992 champ cars
1976-1982 F1 (with a preference for 78)
1980-1986 NASCAR
trans am (any era)
any sort of sportscars from 1967-1972ish
type b rally cars

Really, my dream sim is less defined by what I'm racing and more
defined by the quality of the physics/graphics/multiplayer/interface.
I'd toodle around at 80mph in formula fords in a Papy-quality sim.

Racing Legends.

Hey

I would like a game were you could design your own car within a given
ruleset. It should also be possible to design car parts, so one could
be proud that the God of SimRacing, Whose Name Shall Not Be Given,
since it's Greger Huttu, did that new Monza WR on MY tyres.

Most of the parts of an engine/gearbox/suspension/whatever should be
changeble, choosing between reliability and speed. Then it should be
possible to form teams (a bit like the old MoG form known from GPL)
and race online.

There're only 2 simtypes...the ones I like, and the ones I don't
like....


Cheers!


Remco

An asphalt modified stock car sim modeled on the Whelen (formerly
Featherlite) modified tour that runs in the Northeast.

When I felt like I could drive well enough in a 'sim' and I mean no typs of
driver aids for me or anyone, that is a sim.

for those who need driving aids, I suspect that the motorcity online mode
would be the best, you know where you hang out a virtual drive thru's or
**** like that? Ha!

Any news on that sim development you mentioned a while back?

My Dream Auto Sim would have:

Papy's netcode plus a few tweaks: a few user-friendly server options
and the ability to change brake balance in fixed setup races

F1C's moddability

GTR's graphics and sound

Jury still out on physics model
