I'm working on a driving game/simulator and I wanted to make my own thread for it.

It's actually not much in the screenshots, but what's in there is a half way done road system, with intersections and roundabouts, a transmission with tachometer, and car lights. Everyting except the 240sx model and the sky is mine so just ignore it, its just eye candy

Looks like you have a comprehensive driving system in there, hope you stick with it.
You do appear to have decent taste in cars too so I look forward to it

all those signs will get laggy! and lod will work!
Looks awesome I'd suggest not to make a city, or if you do make it like in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijAfiI4OofQ have walls and less buildings!

Are you sure? Its not very many of them. Anyway, I'll try to follow your advice as far as possible

nice roads... but,

(just my opinion) i think it would be more immersive if the driver were inside the car, in the driver's seat...

Yeah, I'm thinkin about making interior, so I can have different views like, Bumper, Behind the car and inside the car.

No, it was already planned before you said it

Just threw together a race track for testing...

Ah yes, the sunset scene. Love this one.

Sondre S. · « **Reply #10 on:** May 08, 2012, 01:23:25 PM »

Here's the compiled project... Enjoy...

Drive: Arrow keys
Brake/reverse: Down arrow
Shift up: Left shift
Shift down: Left Control
Right indicator: S

The track is made by me. Took me a whole day to put together the fence around the track and throw in the mountain range.

If somebody downloaded the thing, it would be nice with some comments on the transmission and framerate maybe...

Cypermethrin · « **Reply #13 on:** May 09, 2012, 04:17:44 AM »

I'll download and post some comments when I get home, I know feedback can be in short supply here!

RobertooMolvadoo · « **Reply #14 on:** May 09, 2012, 10:12:28 AM »

Okay, comments you get.

I don't really like it.

Well, visual seems okay, as said before, nice use of sunset.

But the driving doesn't feel like a simulation at all. I could just start driving in 5th gear. You'll need some more scripting on this, something like this:
if (gear == 5 && CarSpeed < 20) Acceleration = 0,2;
if (gear == 5 && CarSpeed >= 20) Acceleration = 1;

The controls are a bit unfortunate too, how about this:
WASD for driving, space for brake, Q and E or scrolling for changing gear.
Shouldn't the lights go on and off automatically too?

And the sound goes crazy when you reach the top speed of a gear.
