Any RC sims like the Flyers have?

[Jasper]

Are there any computer based sims of RC cars that use a plugin controller,
something like RealFlight but for cars, Ive seen a few game type ones and
some old fake 3d things but nothing that you can buy? Is there anything?

To quote one of the vid clips.. "over 120 features to customize for your
car.." (or something like that) According to the wife, I spend too much
time working on my "real" r/c cars as it is!

Forgot this one, it's called Re-Volt. I used to play it all the time.
It's more candyish looking, but all the cars in it can be modified by
editiing a text file and with a little time, you can make custom skins
for the cars. It does have things like rockets and oil slicks you can
attack other vehicles with, but I suspect it's not really what you are
looking for, but it's out there as a suggestion. Forgot, you can also
make your own tracks, which I found most appealing about it..

Has anyone got the Vritual RC game port controller gizmo? Is it any good,
and the software that comes with it is that any good, looks a little
outdated but if it drives well could be what Iam looking for.

Re-Volt was/is fun- I've downloaded dozens of tracks (made some myself, too)
and almost a hundred different custom cars. I asked two German guys that
made some of the best skins if they could make me a Lancia Stratos and they
made a street version and a rally version for me. Since I'm a complete idiot
for all things Stratos-related, they are forever in my debt:

http://www.themeandme.de/

BTW- there are a few skins of real R/C cars out there- they're also pretty
cool. Plus, most of the custom tracks do away with the goofy rockets and oil
slicks,etc.

Oh, there's a newer game that is incredibly fun to play- even if the
vehicles are kinda goofy. Here's a link for the demo:

http://www.p3int.com/download_center_RCC.asp

It's hard to describe, but trust me- this game really feels realistic. It's
a little juvenile at times- makes R/Cers out to be little hooligans- but I
guess that's true to a certain extent!

(LOL)

Rick- have you ever played it?

I'm curious as to how well it translates to the actual running of R/C cars.

It's been out for quite a while, too- is a graphics engine update on the
way?

I'd love it if there was a realistic game that lets you use an actual
controller. (maybe I should shut up and check out the link, huh?)

I'd play on rainy days!

Thanks, I already have checked that one out... I have 1080 files relating to
the Lancia Stratos on my computer. 80MB in total...

I've been a fan since they were first manufactured. Maybe someday I'll be
able to afford a replica of one that is as well done as the Hawk cars are.

Here's a free version that's quite good. You can use a regular
transmitter with a trainer port with the appropriate cable. I see these
on E-Bay all the time.
