Driving games for learner drivers?

FatRakoon · 14 Dec 2016 at 19:48

Just wondering are there any seriously realistic games out there, that would help my missus kind of see how driving goes?

I have the steering wheel with the 3 foot controls and gear lever etc but all the games I have are racing style, nothing with free range as such.

Anyone got any ideas?

Ok thanks for this guys.

Erm, Zethor... What would you say, if I told you that my missus bought herself a car just over a year ago and the ONLY driving that it has actually done, is my mate taking me to hospital a few times and to the MOT station once.
She has sat in it 2 or 3 times, moves the seat etc and said Brm brmm a few times before getting out, but thats is it!

My daughter has had her licence and she is about to learn to drive and I told her that is she passes her test, she can have the car cos the wife aint bothering to drive.

On a serious note, ( I am telling the truth about the car by the way ) but a half decent game that might let her piddle about with controls, might just get her thinking about it more? I dont expect there to be a sim so close to reality that its scary, but there must be some good apps there and so sure... I will try these.. .Got to be worth a shot.

Typical.
I just logged on to steam, had a search and found a few driving games and thought sod it... I will get the lot.

And no matter what I am doing, it wont accept my paypal money?

I logged on to paypal and its loggin in just fine, but why cant I buy it through steam? This is how I always buy things through steam!!!

Ah sod it, also tried using my card directly... Probably an issue with steam itself.

Well I tried to buy them... and they moan about piracy?

Well, I have now bought 8 car driving games including a couple of driving sims and also WRC6 is supposed to be good ( yeah, I know but I got the missus to also play Dirt 3 a while back, so who knows? I was on a roll dont know me LOL

GTA V
My son has that on his XBOX and it certainly looks delicious as hell, at least the scenery does anyway... I have bought him a steering wheel and pedals for the XBOX but Im sure that even on that, it didnt work for him? Shame really... I think that would be ok with a wheel.
