Re: [Audyssey] vehicle simulation games

Hi Phil.

that's an interesting idea about wintruck, I'd not thought o that, however 
I'm less keen on combining racing sims like rail racer, top speed, win cart 
and usa raceway (when released), sinse the gameplay, objective and mechanics 
in racing games seems rather different from those in a war sim like lw or 3d 
velocity.


As to the x plane and flight sim games, I'm not to be honest sure precisely 
how these work. They are I believe retail only and need to be bought from 
amazon, so i probably won't be able to try them, and also i'm not sure on 
the access.


If someone could explain what the games are about, what their access is with 
various screen readers, and how they generally play I'd be glad to add them 
in.


In fact, even discounting the racing games, it does seem gma tank commander, 
lw, 3D velocity and the two flight sims you mention would be enough for a 
generalized simulation catagory at five games.

Hi Dark,
Along with Lone wolf, submarine simulation,
Tank Commander, tank simulation,
and 3d velocity  fighter jet simulation,
you could add,
win truck 2, a cross country big rig truck driving simulation Rail Racer, 
a futuristic multiplayer racing simulation FS2004 plus It's Your Plane, a 
jet airplane simulation,

and finally USA Raceway, a Daytona racing car simulation.

Hi Dark,

I think so. Simulations is becoming a category of its own, and think
Audiogames.net should probably make it an official category as 3D
Velocity, Lone Wolf, Tank Commander, and things like Microsoft Flight
Simulator should count as its own category by now.

As to how MS Flight Simulator works it basically is from the point of
view of a  pilot who picks a type of aircraft and you must fly it from
one air port to another carrying passengers or cargo etc. Since it
isn't fully accessible on its own there are third-party plugins like
Its Your Plane someone can by which adds the ability to use a
co-pilot, the computer, to take off and land the plane. Its Your Plane
uses Sapi to speak things like altitude, fuel, speed, etc, and you can
verbally give commands to the co-pilot to do things you would have to
do manually otherwise.

Cheers!

Hi Tom.

fair enough. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do online for a bit, 
sinse I'm rather busy with a gilbert and sullivan festival and a music 
school, but when all that is out of the way I'll look into it.


All the best,

Dark.
