Interesting video game combo: Automation + BeamNG.drive
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2...y_Tycoon_Game/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/284160/BeamNGdrive/ I stumbled across some YouTube videos of people using the combo of those two "games" and it's, well, wild. In Automation you can design cars, like hardcore design them. Build an engine using all sorts of different materials, configurations, cylinders, fuel ratio, cam size, turbo compressor housing...the list goes on and on. Then pick from a big set (50? Maybe more) of car bodies from across time and lay them out however you want. Then there's all the drivetrain options, suspension setups, lighting, interior... The variety is staggering. In BeamNG.drive you, well, drive. It's got a whole bunch of built in cars (and trucks, semis, off roaders, buses...again a massive list). There's tons of "tracks" from racetracks to city streets, off road and testing areas...again a huge variety. Plus you can add traffic & it has multiplayer. But the wacky bit is combining the two. Couple button clicks and whatever awesomeness (or in my case...abomination) you create in Automation you can easily import into BeamNG. There are some negatives. One, each game is $30. Another is both games strive for realism which makes them mind-bogglingly in-depth and complex. I spent over 30 minutes on just tail lights on a car...only to (much later) find out it handles like a pig. The UI in both is kinda meh. Screw that, it's more than meh, it's annoying and weird. But the simulation aspect is top notch. Graphics are pretty damn stellar (GPU fans went into overdrive). If you dig the idea of fully, and I mean fully, customizing a car and ripping it around (or smashing it into things 'cause the car actually sucks) + got $60 to burn then I highly suggest these.

BeamNG is a physics simulator at heart, that's why it seems so hardcore. The driving is how you test the physics parameters you set up.
