My instructor took a very long time to start giving me lessons so I practiced on this game in VR and by driving on abandoned and dirt roads. Well I can say that it can help but it can also do harm. When I started my actual lessons, the instructor instantly let me into traffic since she saw I have a feel for the car and I can control it without stalling. So that probably saved me a few lessons than if I were to go there without any experience and had to learn starting, shifting, positioning etc... But I also got some bad habits from practicing without an experienced instructor by my side. Like letting up the clutch too quickly etc... she basically told me that I drive like an italian racer. But in the end I finished with minimal lessons so I guess it was worth it!

[@tabushka292]

Also it's nice to practice in this game but it does get kinda boring after a while. I played 25 hours but a lot of times I was so bored of it I just started driving like a maniac instead of practicing. It kinda put me off from driving a bit since I thought real driving would also be boring like this but luckily it's not! But hey, 25 hours of driving lessons would cost you hundreds of pounds or bucks or whatever so I guess it's not that bad (just be careful not to pick up bad habits on the way)

The amount of car control you learn through sim racing is actually kinda crazy. The first time I had an oversteer moment in real life on a wet road wasn't all that scary because muscle memory just kicked in and did it's thing. Sim racing definetly brought me to a point were I feel safer on the road in real life and helped me to keep the car in one piece were I probably otherwise would have binned it

I'm similar. When I was about 5 or 6 I used to have an electric sit in car, it was massive, much bigger than the ones you get today, had space for 2 people in it. That taught me a lot about steering but also judging how much space I had to get past things and people. On top of that I rode my bike a lot which also gave me spacial awareness and speed perception and of course I played a lot of racing games and euro truck sim etc too. So, while driving a car for the first time wasn't easy, and I wasn't very good with the clutch to start with, I had very good control, a good sense of speed, was aware of my surroundings and could judge my space well too

I've been using driving simulators like this for about 17 years, and yet only went for my licence last year. Turns out driving simulators really do help with many aspects of driving! My instructor had me driving on the motorway on my second lesson (motorway lessons are normal here), and I passed my test within a month. The one thing it doesn't do is teach feeling, which is arguably the most important part, but having understood most of the rest of it before I even got in the driving seat of a car, it made it a lot faster to learn. I defo recommend it!

I've been playing racing games and different simulators since I was 8 but in order to learn something, I started to play it when I was 15. Now, I'm 18 and I finished my driving school in 3 weeks. During the first lesson, the instructor saw that I am strangely good at driving so he asked me how do I know so much about driving, is it because one of my parents let me drive? I said gaming was my teacher for 10 years. So, now, when I finished the school, I'm waiting for the day I will be attending the driving exam which is going to be in 3 weeks. I hope that won't do any stupid mistakes. It is not about money or price of the exam, I really want to pass it because in Lithuania, you have to wait like 2 months for your exam and if you don't pass for the first time, you have to wait another 2 months.

As a game lover, when I got my driver license I never had driven a real car yet and I did it at 31 years old. Simulation games helped me a lot, despite the fact that I learned in a weird way because those games that helped me a lot were/are Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) and American Truck Simulator (ATS). Those are my favorite simulator games, I'm 100+ level in both games and I have played truck simulator games since the 18 Wheels of Steel, back in 2002. In the ETS2 the homeland and main garage that I choose is located in Dover - England. All of my Lorries in ETS 2 have the steering wheel at the right but I can drive it in both lands, depending on the country wherever I am. Now in ATS the steering wheel is on the left, driven in the right lane. Both games I used to have a setup like this one, not from Logitech, mine was cheaper but it was a good setup till the gas pedal breaks. Well those simulation games ETS2 and ATS gave me confidence and helped with my license test, by judging my position on the road, taking fast decisions in junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights, people around, checking at all the mirrors, learning to use the dashboard and the truck computer system, listening to the engine revs, parking, get in that big ships to across, for instance, from England to Netherlands, etc. Well in the end I got my driver license, first try, with some minus (note that, comparing here to there the rules to get the driver license are different, 4 minus (they call it plus points here) or dangerous drive fails). Richard Teacher, when you can, if you haven't yet, I suggest you try Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator with setups like that, they are nice simulator games that can help people to get their license, despite them being trucks, lorries not cars. Thank you very much for this video teacher!

[@6uo]

I used this simulator with Oculus Quest 2 for learning driving. Since I learnt automatic transmission, the simulation does really good without worrying the clutch control is far different from real one. I think VR simulation can actually reduce someone really nervous in driving (as your previous video), at the beginning from hitting someone or car crash as they know it is fake, while can learn the viewpoint from inside a car as well as certain control. The best part to highlight is I can "stand up" to passthrough the top of the car to see where am I during parking. The down side is, I can't see the buttons on the wheel through the VR glasses. And the setup of City Car Driving as VR is very tricky. Anyway it does help a lot for practising in the early stage of learning.

We have something like this in Singapore used for learner drivers. Now all learners here have to go though 3 sessions with real life roads in Sg and they will purposely throw some accidents scenarios all you. Eg, when people jay walking, encountering reckless drivers or poor driving conditions like rain. It's more of an accident simulation which learners cannot experience real life for obvious reasons. It's got motion in the chair too, can even feel simulated engine rev/braking and of course during accident. Good stuff.

Honestly, I did learn the basics with the instructor to which I am grateful for his patience as I was a slow learner(in terms of learning speed) but most of my driving improved once I got my full licence and I started driving on my own. This game with the right setup can teach you the bare minimum before going for lessons (check career mode as it has interesting challenges for you) but most of your driving will improve once you drive on your own as you have to be your own instructor and look out for yourself and you are in full control of the car so more responsibility lies on your shoulders.

Simulators also helped me to get better at driving. It helped me to understand car width and lane discipline, how to use the wheel calmly, gears and clutch, etc. I've had 14 hours of driving school with a manual gearbox so far, and I drive fine with little help from the instructor here and there, but zero serious faults or dangerous situations from my side. Takes some time to get used to a real car and how it operates, but overall once my nerves calmed in real traffic, everything got smooth. Although simulators are not the only thing I use to get somewhat better at driving, I have also watched countless hours of driving videos, etc. Besides City Car Driving there are many other games that can simulate driving and roads pretty well. BeamNG drive - loads of cars and maps to try out with A.I traffic (mods available) Euro Truck 2/American Truck - great highway systems and small roads, pretty smart A.I traffic (mods available) Asseto Corsa - great selection of cars, good mechanics (mods available) And for fun Dirt Really 2.0 and WRC - great physics with powerful cars

This simulator is excellent, I have used it myself with a similar 3-pedals driving wheel and transmission gear setup, all for less than 150 euros. It's worth mentioning it also includes a TON of lessons, which are scenarios with a specific set of goals (eg, stop and start on a hill, drive as a taxi cab at night under rain, etc), which are super helpful to train to do various manoeuvers and to learn how to deal with some common scenarios, all while automatically and dynamically detecting driving errors (no other driving game or simulator can do that, other driving simulator as proposed by some schools can only detect specific errors under specific linear scenarios, there is no free-form play nor detection of driving conditions as in this one). Also, it can simulate dangerous situations, which is INCREDIBLY useful to train observation and practice anticipations, such as how to react to a car suddenly braking in front of you, or a pedestrian running through the road, or trafic lights being broken with a police officer in the middle (or not), etc. By doing the lessons and increasing the likelihood of dangerous situations, this is by far the best training I had in observation and anticipation, something I could not get from driving school. Also the simulation can allow you to drive on the left side as in UK, simply select Australia when creating a new profile. The simulator is not a replacement for a driving school and an instructor, because the simulator does NOT guide you, it does not teach you how to do things, it only offers a virtual environment to practice, but this is super helpful as a complement to driving school, so much so that I kept it after getting my driving license and it allowed me to practice successfully to drive on both left side and right side of the road, which I then could do in real life without a hitch :-)

[@ghoulbuster1]

Try beamng

[@benleonard2162]

There hasn't been a single video ive watched that i haven't enjoyed man fair play to yis like!! 🙌

[@Brozi]

I learned driving in euro truck simulator. Havent tried this or beamNG, but I feel like the euro truck is pretty realistic with the clutch and gas. Then I tried in the real car, and stalled only a couple of times at the begining because I had to feel the clutch, as it was very different from my g27 pedal set.

[@ShawnMbumba]

Really great lesson anyone can learn fast thank you sir more success to you

[@riffsage]

you can go on the other side of the road by selecting australia as region or going into user CFG and changing things there

[@sharathkumar5791]

Nice Video. I played this for a while, It's not perfect but Many things can be learnt. Particularly observations about road signs and positioning. If you change country to Australia in settings, we can drive left and vehicles can be customized to right hand drive. Career mode is really challenging.

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you, I would have found it easier if I was on the side of the road I was used to 😄

[@Reloaded2111]

Seeing Richard do a reverse zigzag would've been interesting.

[@MCNinjakix]

I have this and it does help learn processes for sure. I usually use TruckersMP multiplayer and drive a car instead of a truck.

[@ZachAscot]

Love that window. Great video. Super unique & helpful! Closest I've ever got to one of these is Gran Turismo 6!

[@potater6163]

assetto corsa is really good allthough i only use that for drifting instead of learning to drive. I had a go on my friends manual the other day and i stalled quite a few times but i think the sim still helped alot

[@celtpro]

I used confused for a quote a few weeks ago, my lowest was £450 and the heighest was £2695. So it really does pay to shop around for a quote either as a new driver, or an experienced advanced motorist.

[@danielletheprotogen]

You can get modifications to add feel to the brake pedal, but they normally come supplied with a rubber block inside the spring that the pedal hits at 30% brake

[@ConquerDriving]

That's intersting.

[@kaiwilliams5134]

i was 13 when i got my thrustmaster. im now 17 and only 4 lessons in and im test ready :D

[@NightVisionOfficial]

I played some Euro Truck Simulator 2 Before my driving test x). While it didn't helped a lot with the clutch, you know... It was still helpful with that, since trucks are much more prone to just die if you don't clutch correctly, but it's not near like IRL, but most importantly, the steering wheel, that was much of the help.

[@Greeny2007]

You can play on the left hand side you just have to create a new profile and change America to Australia

[@Greeny2007]

You can also change ur setting so the indicator turns off when you turn

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you

[@whiteyxdplaylit5945]

Subscribed @4:34. Getting me a late Christmas present. Nice video.

[@britishairways744]

Yes if you log in your account and Australian driving rules you can drive on the left

[@geoded]

Haha love this video. Your channel is such chill viewing, best enjoying with a cup of tea.

[@cesarbravo822]

I have a g923 and didn't realize the brake pedal is a lot stiffer than that of a regular car. That's the only part I had to actively unlearn from driving sims after I bought a real car.

[@dungdungtak8952]

I love this video. This is what i want to see. The details. Thank you bro.

[@azzazz4549]

You can get direct drive and better pedals to simulate the bite point if money isn't an issue

[@edwardtye4119]

Interesting, I might show this video to my parents to try and persuade them to let me buy a wheel and pedals 😉

[@Reloaded2111]

And, if they feel particularly generous, make them buy a VR headset too. The difference is beyond what this video could showcase.

[@wrth]

Assetto Corsa is brilliant because not only are the physics quite good but you can add mods to it, such as SRP with Traffic. it's a big scan of a real Japanese highway and its great for spacial awareness and lane changing practice.

[@Lenduya]

Is it possible to set the traffic to drive on the right?

[@DetCamYT]

Just hopped out a car to hoppin in a sim😂💪🏼

[@Jens.M]

Interesting to see your opinion. I would love to see other simulation games, that you looking at

[@identitario5412]

I recommend assigning keyboard keys for looking back and to the sides. In that way you can see while having a hand on the wheel.

[@dimitristripakis7364]

What a simulator does very well, is help you automate the movement of the controls. Just make sure you use a manual shifter if you plan to drive a manual car.

[@Kekmit]

I'm playing BeamNG, Assetto Corsa and City Car Driving in VR Googles with a steering wheel w/ clutch and manual gearbox. It's freaking amazing.

[@Soul73x]

Iv got one as well except the gear I use is more expensive than logitech but it helped me loads :)

[@Edvard.Munchkin]

5:53 I never thought I'd see Richard doing a burnout 🤣🤣🤣 hooning around the streets of Russia

[@neblolthecarnerd]

I use one of these occasionally for more realistic style racing games. Haven't done anything that might help with driving on the road in real life yet but might try to use it to practice gear changes.

[@matt-ko4cc]

Feels like there's definitely a potential business in having a bunch of simulators like this and then charge people way less than a driving lesson would be to get to grips with how to actually operate a car. It's not like you'd have to be at least 17 to do it. Could even add things like vibrations to give feedback when you're close to stalling the car. Beats the cost of buying all the equipment

[@bossmen6665]

This game does have force feedback

[@n9ne2006]

Excellent, just what i was looking for. Also subbed to your channel

[@Larry]

When it comes to a simulation where you have to look everywhere, it might be a lot more realistic to use a VR headset. Then you can look wherever you need to my just moving your head.

[@abysswalker2403]

I love how the manual car he is driving has paddle shifters

[@n8than26]

I actually want to buy the wheel too, before I start driving, hope it translate well to the real world 🤣

[@moe109_]

got 31/31 (max marks) on my driving exam, thanks to countless hours in assetto corsa, driving simulator and dirt rally 2 😁
