Ready to build your own rig? Here is a step-by-step guide for the most accessible method using Real World Navigation or ExoGP.
Step 1: The Hardware
Step 2: The Software
Step 3: Connection
Step 4: The Drive
The ideal simulator would let you start a drive in London and, without loading screens, drive to Istanbul. This requires infinite streaming of petabytes of 3D data. Google has this technology for its "Immersive View" (a short, cinematic fly-through), but not for real-time driving with physics. Microsoft Flight Simulator comes closest, but even it struggles with ground-level detail at high speeds. 3d Driving Simulator Google Earth
This app is arguably the closest you can get to the keyword 3D Driving Simulator Google Earth. It streams actual Google Maps 3D data in real-time. You select a city (New York, London, Tokyo), and the app downloads the 3D buildings and road networks. You can drive a bus, a taxi, or a sports car. The physics aren't racing sim grade, but the sense of place is unparalleled. You will recognize specific storefronts and intersections from your own life. Ready to build your own rig
