If you could make any "simulator" game, what would it be?

Driving simulator where I can choose a real world location, similar to ms flight sim, where I can drive around in a 3D world

I would love this, put on an audiobook, get stoned, and drive around the alps or Southeast Asia. No traffic and no danger

The closest thing to that would probably be euro truck simulator 2

City Car Driving exists, but I don’t know how extensive it is. You can also install mods on ETS2 to drive around in normal cars.

I tried that on my steam deck, controller support is non existent from when I last played

Id say closest game right now is assetto Corsa with mods

Ets2 has trucks, even if you mod a car in it still feels and drives like a truck

I want to rip it around my home town in a fast car, swerving through traffic lool

Isn't there a thing on Google earth where you can sorta do that?

A modern version of the 1998 Sierra game with real world data would be great. I spent so much time in the freedrive mode on that back in the day.

I think I remember an aeroplane in Google earth lol

I know there's a very basic version of this online somewhere, you can drive a car on top of Google maps satellite view

Just wait for content creators to play this drunk

Beam.ng has some pretty good maps where you can just drive around. They aren’t quite fleshed out as much but there’s a ton of mods too so you might be able to find one that’s just a Sunday driver.

I'd say assetto Corsa is better right now, beamng feels like a crash simulator or even just a scene creator rather than a proper driving sim

In asetto Corsa I can get real world cars in real world maps and drive it around
