Hi Louise, Create a simulator requires lots of different skills and tools, so I don't think you'll be able to find a single tutorial that specifically addresses just what are trying to do. Instead I think you'll need to think about breaking the project up into parts and come up with subgoals in your project that are naturally aligned to each area of skills.
I'd recommend starting with really humble goals and learn what you need to reach these, and when you've masted it go back for another iteration improve each component. The natural areas that you could break the project into are: Physics Rendering Integration of Physics and Scene Graph User interaction Database creation/modelling/scene generation You first iteration around might be to source a simple car and terrain from the free sources that populate the web. Then work out how to do basic intersection test/collision detection on the terrain and the car body/wheels. Once you have collision information you can start thinking about simple physics model for the car and add in user controls for acceleration/breaking and steering. With the basic stuff working then you can go back and look to improve on the car model, or the terrain. Also think about adding more rendering effects, better physics etc. Robert.
