About This Game City Car Driving is a realistic driving simulator that will help you to master the basic skills of car driving in different road conditions, immersing in an environment as close as possible to real."Smart" traffic that accurately simulates traffic in the current, unpredictable pedestrians and sudden dangerous situations will not let you relax and will maintain the atmosphere of a real traffic situation. Also full range of weather conditions and times of a day from rain and morning fog to night ice and snow will help to prepare for driving under the most unfavorable conditions.Using the traffic rules compliance monitoring system and the instructor hints you will fix the knowledge of traffic laws in different countries of the world. The list of these countries will expand in updates. On special autodromes you will be able to work out different types of exercises, both basic, for instruction in driving, and special, for working out the elements of ex treme driving and counter accident training.Key Benefits:Practical driving skills in the city and on the autodrome training.Mechanical and automatic gearboxes are supported and work in accordance with real analogues.Nine standard cars to select for training at the autodrome.Training of counter accident driving at a specialized autodrome.Realistic traffic behavior which can violate traffic rules, park or leave parking lots.Sudden dangerous situations such as: going to the oncoming lane, a sharp stop, an unexpected car order change in traffic, pedestrians running across the road, broken traffic lights etc.Realistic physics that influences on-road cars behavior and allows full-fledged collisions with visible damage.Simulation of fuel consumption, which allows you learn how to monitor fuel level and refuel the car in time.A wide selection of cars. In addition to the various versions of cars in the simulator are presented: a small truck, minivan, SUV, pickup and subcompact as well as cars with the right-hand drive. These cars have the entire set of controls including the sound signal and lights.Random routes in free driving mode with customizable parameters.It is possible to choose the time of day and weather conditions (rain, snow, ice, night, fog etc.) Narrow tangled courtyards and multi-level parkings with lots of cars.Trams as full-fledged participant of traffic.Support of traffic rules of different countries: the USA, Australia, the European Union, Germany, the Russian Federation including the right-hand and left-hand traffic regimes for the respective countries.Recording/playback function for later analysis of driving errors.Support of gaming wheels, gamepads and joysticks.Support of virtual reality devices: Oculus Rift and HTC Vive as well as TrackIR head tracking system. 1075eedd30 Title: City Car DrivingGenre: Indie, Racing, SimulationDeveloper:Forward Development, Ltd.Publisher:Forward Global Group, Ltd.Release Date: 3 Nov, 2016 City Car Driving Activation Code [key Serial] Game is quite fun but it doesn't come without its drawbacks. It is fun and good for just normal driving IF you are left hand drive. Right hand drive is limited which sucks for people like me in the UK. There are only 2 RHD cars and there is only Australia as a RHD map. The sound is off to say the least as well. But if you are in the USA or don't care about which side of the road you drive on then this game is a lot of fun especially with workshop addons. This game definately has potential to be a lot better in the future.. Let's say that the thumb up is more for the type of game, and not much for the technical achievement.Graphics are quite ancient to be honest; not sure what engine they used but it is not really a next gen engine, or the assets hasn't been updated since 2008. It does its job, but it is by no means a game that you could call actual in 2018, which is a shame, because the idea behind the game is interesting.You basically drive in a undefined city somewhere; the model for the cars is pretty accurate, and if you have a 3 pedal wheel set, you can actually feel like if you are driving for real. The only issue is that the graphic is immediately bringing you back to reality; and the physics and overall feel of the cars, make you think that you are playing a semi-arcade more than a sim. This is no GT nor Forza by any means, the driving model is workable but not realistic to the point of giving you a feel for the real thing. To be honest the cars in game are not supercars either, but that won't stand as point in favor of the driving model.Basically it feels like if you are glued to the ground; the car is sluggish and drive as GTA, if you like comparisons; with the difference that even when your laterla acceleration is at the limit, the car does not loose composture. To simplify things, the AI traffic is quite atrocious; and while you can say that it is realistic because it act "in an unpredictable way at times"; it is not exactly realistic.But beside all of this...you may enjoy this product. It is fundamentally one of these games that either you play with your kids; or you play on your own to relax; kinda like a flight simulator, or Euro truck simulator for example. There is no objective in free drive mode, so you just drive around. The only negative I may find is that you can do as much damage as you want and nothing happen; including hit people with your car; while I was expecting some sort of strict limit to avoid to make this game a GTA clone.Although if you want, you can play the "career"; where you follow instructions and try to complete scenarios; which incidentally, teach you how to drive and overall the rules of the road. Mind you; this is nowhere near a proper driving course; but if you want to teach kids or teens how does it feel to drive with real rules; this game will serve the purpose as introduction course.Plus is fun if you have steering wheel and pedal; to drive around, compared to just use a joypad. I would like to see this game evolve from simplistic as is now, to a fully fledged training product, with an arcade mode to allow players to have some fun. Won't take much to implement careers like taxi driver, cop or ambulance/fire engine driver; and add a bit of extras to the game; because as is; it is mostly a very simplistic driving product; that is nowhere near a proper simulation, but that even with these limitations, offer proper immersive driving experience.MAybe give it a try; but if you like "chill" games and own a steering wheel with clutch pedal and shifter; you want to get this product and enjoy it for what it is.Note: I have a T150 wheel with H-shifter from Thrustmaster and the game can't properly find the neutral position; also the accelerator sensitivity and deadzone is quite off; which means that you need to press the accelerator quite a lot to get the car going, when using the clutch; otherwise the engine stall (yes, in this game you stall the engine). Not sure if it is a problem with my settings, but I spent a ton of time just to figure out how to adjust the sensitivity, and can't get it right. Maybe it works better with a G29; can't say.. Too many random bugs\/crashes. I love the way its simulating, but the crashes are too much of a distraction for me.Edit: 6 Hours in. DX9 seems to work. DX11 Used to not load ''City Driving'' test but with DX9 it works.. City Car Driving is a great idea. Going by many positive reviews here, it actually works reasonably well in 2D. Don't get me wrong - I appreciate what it's doing. Yes, it has flaws many already mentioned (handling, acceleration, buggy penalty system, so-so sound and graphics). But this is not a AAA tilte - this is an indy game/simulator and pretty cool for what it is. I can tell a lot of work went into this.However, I bought this game for the VR experience. And that's where it all falls apart.Despite very high specs (i7-8700K, GTX 980Ti) the game often cannot keep the minimum frame rate high enough (even at lowest graphics settings!) to avoid severe nausea inducing lag. Specifically, frame analysis shows the game is CPU bound (yes, multi-threaded rendering is enabled), which is just ridiculous, given I'm running one of fastest CPUs on the market as of this writing!This is the first game I've played in VR that had me close to throwing up (and I've played many!).City Car Driving in VR has huge potential - who cares about the graphics if your in VR and amongst it all! At times I really did enjoy the areas where frame rates were high enough. However, keeping a bucket next to my racing rig - just in case - is not a viable solution. I requested a refund, but am sincerely hoping the devs can optimize this title. For now though, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone looking for a VR experience. IMHO, the VR part of City Car Driving is not production/sale ready.. really fun and addicting game also has great workshop support. even better with steering wheel. really recommendit.. Using a T80 Thrustmaster racing wheel.- Feels Realistic- Ok Graphics- Love the hazards (eg clear ice or citizens jay walking)- Great game to learn how to drive ( I personally suggest you buy a racing wheel for this). I can't open this game after the March update. After giving the developers close to a year now to fix a problem that I have been having, I now have to finally give it a negative review.This is for the VR players out there. Don't even bother buying it.The HUD doesn't display in VR (Rendering the game quite pointless) and the developers don't seem to give a sh*t about us VR players.Everytime someone in the community has asked for this to be fixed a simple "We will work on it if it seems necessary" answer is given.Devs don't seem to care about their players...Especially not the VR ones.Sort your crap out devs. New update!: Glad to present July fixes and improvements.- Increased performance in the New City.- Improved traffic rules tracking in the "City test" mission. - Returned traffic jams in "The first order" mission for the US profile.- Improved steering with a mouse.- Stabilized the work of the simulator when the input device is suddenly disconnected.. May update!: It's time for the May update of City Car Driving! 🚘We have worked on the stability of the new release and made important improvements. 💪🏻Let's take a look at the most interesting changes in version 1.5.8.1:➜ The “City test” mission was aligned with the rules - now its time limit is 30 minutes.➜ Fixed the mission "A new exam" - added monitoring of whether low beam headlights are on.➜ Fixed a problem with resetting custom car sounds to default sounds.➜ Some lucky users crashed into an invisible cargo, when they tried driving just after a loader - this will not happen again, we have removed all invisible objects.➜ Now you can safely change the camera angle through console commands again. ➜ If you are training your driving skills to drive on US roads, then it might interest you to know that now the braking distance is shown in miles and the initial speed is shown before braking.. Beta test announced!: On the eve of the version 1.5.6 release, we launch the closed beta test of the simulator. If you would like to join the beta test and help us to make the simulator better, please fullfill this application form - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScYCsaPyzmo3zMPiVcZqwFHCPKX7wV_YOrAaT5BqKMW4tOMUw/viewformAt the start of the beta test, you will get access to a closed Steam group, where we will collect your feedback, and all information related to the beta test will be published there.. September update!: There're the following improvements in the September update:- All exercises in the career mode for the US profile are performed on a car with an automatic transmission by default now.- Added Polish translation.- Improved tracking of the turn signal use on roundabouts for German profile.- Added the ability to track the duration of exercise in the career mode.. April update!: We proud to present the City Car Driving update to version 1.5.6. In this version we paid more attention to the gameplay and made the simulator more realistic.Implemented one of the most popular requests: a simulation of fuel consumption in the free driving mode. Gas stations are usable now. Fuel consumption level depends on the style of driving. The navigator automatically routes you to the nearest gas station when you have low fuel. And of course the fuel system can be turned off in the game settings.Improved the career mode. Now in the first group of exercises you can select one of the default cars, which you'd like to drive. City test for EU and US profiles became easier, now the penalty for speeding is 7 kmph for the EU profile and 3 mph for the US profile.We continue to improve the traffic AI. For now we taught him to park and leave parking lots, but we also have plans of other new things to teach the AI. Also now you can see the traffic cars, which are more common for the selected traffic profile.We looked at our country roads and realized that they really lack dust. Now when you drive on a dirt road, dust appears from under the wheels, as it should be.Between this and then we updated the pedestrian appearance and the interface of the weather selection menu in the free driving mode.And of course we continue to fix bugs and optimize the simulator.https://youtu.be/bKRQlmoB2rY. [Fixed] Issues after recent update: Attention!Currently some users have issues with launching the simulator.We are awared of the situation and are working on solving the problem.If you've faced the problem, that the simulator does not start, please contact us here - http://steamcommunity.com/id/NiZvErG/ - it will help us to find a solution faster.Sorry for inconveniences. Sincerely, Forward Global Group development team.P.S.: Problem is solved now. You should just run the simulator again.P.P.S.: If you still have problems with launching the simulator (nothing happen when you press PLAY button) try to reinstall all components (both x86 and x64) from \steamapps\common\City Car Driving\_CommonRedist\vcredist\ folder.
