@@SimulatorAdventures what is your setup? Wheel and shifter. I want to buy my first wheel and shifter near future and I wonder what shifter is yours, looks cool. 🙂
City car driving is a relatively old game (with bad driving physics) but it is more enjoyable than this "unfinished" game. I hope there will be some bug fixing patches because it would be a really good game.
You are so right. City Car Driving may only be a passable driving simulator these days but it has so much more content, far more character and is just generally more polished
The small part of Munich included in the map (mostly Schwabing) is actually very well designed and as close to reality as it can get in a game. I know because I live near the MaeWest ("The Vase"). Might be fun to race around your hometown at ridiculous speeds, but 35€ is a bit too much for the current state of development...
Nice review. However, in my opinion, Aerosoft needs to get it together a bit. A lot of the games cause a lot of hype for the release, but it ends up getting “mostly negative” reviews. It’s pretty much always the same.. they make a game, release it way too early, never finish it and sell it for an extremely ridiculous price. I was excited about this game until I saw the reviews.. also, why does every game from theirs require a NASA Supercomputer to run? This game has potential, but knowing Aerosofts history, it will just be another overpriced game that never gets finished..
Steam reviews, although not many, are terrible. However, seeing how long city car driving has been around and how many updates it has had, I do have faith that one day this will be a decent experience.
I reckon they will update it for a few months, but in all likelihood given the history of the publisher Aerosoft this game will be dead and forgotten by next year
It has potential, needs better FFB, should let you customise and modify cars and play with others online. Also should have income based missions or jobs so you can then use that money to buy better cars and mods etc. Maybe stuff like Uber driver or something
The first problem is that the rev counter only goes to 5000 RPM before it get red. Should be a lot higher for a TSI. How hard can it be? What a horrible game in every single way.
You cannot have a true driving simulator without a decent physics model. To quote the developers this game is supposed to have "Close to reality vehicle physics, graphics and sounds". It clearly does not.
@@SimulatorAdventures It's a traffic simulator. No need proper physics. It gonne teach you to use rules and to drive in traffic. BTW no RACING SIMULATOR has a "decent physics", and may there will be no one ever, just a simplified version of what we know about ohysics.
Once you started complaining I was rushing to mention it's early access but... the store page doesn't say that anywhere. However it does say "Close to reality vehicle physics" which is hilarious since the vehicles feel like they're driving on ice, just like in Forza Horizon 4. To me it seems like a team of greenhorns thought they could make the next big thing just because their game is running on UE5.
Indeed. You could also buy a lot of other great driving games, including Euro Truck or even City Car Driving which isn't amazing but still far better than this
Have a hard job understanding how anyone would pay to pretty much try out what feels like an early tech demo that would be provided for free, to show what they are working on.
@@SimulatorAdventures Just to make clear I wasn't refering to you. I'm happy that "reviewers" bite the bullet, so us peasants can see what it's like. So thanks for the overview!
I have high expectation of this game but still "City Car Driving" still remain as a king of car simulation, modelers made amazing job on cars and cars interiors but graphics are not everything...
Hey there! Sorry, I'm late. Thanks for the video, I worked with Drekkar Trans Company,( you may know us as "ETS2 company", since lots of players call us like that😅), and I have to say that it really costs a lot... Even though now for me it says that now it costs 25 euros... Probably they changed it? I think that now it's more affordable, I'll buy it and I'll try it!✌️😉 From your video, I think it deserves a lot😊
Hi. I wonder if you know how to reset the Accelerator pedal settings? Mine are messed up in the Axis config settings. There isn't a easy reset to goto default settings. So now my pedals work backwards 😅 nightmare. To accelerate I must lift my foot ofd the pedal. 😅
Nice that I could listen to German public radio on this game xD The car interieurs are really detailed. I know Aerosoft from Fernbus Simulator, and that game runs horribly. Even with way less detail, it was capped at 30 FPS on a 1060 and is now chugging along at 60 with my new 6700XT.
Actually when i commented this question I didn't watch the entire video. Now as I am watching this I saw couple times when you change the car in the game so yeah😅
Honestly I expected the game to be cheaper. It has potential, but cars and map are very limited. 7,50€ for a single DLC car? No thanks, as you said CCD is more polished despite being older. It also has thousands of mods, I even made my own one. Still the worst thing to me are min specs of the computer to run the game. Damn, I thought that my GTX 1060 and my i7 4790 weren’t that bad.
Those minimum specs are ridiculous for most people! A 1070 as a MINIMUM is one of the highest minimum specs I've ever seen, and this is definitely not a AAA title.
@@SimulatorAdventures Totally agree, you can even play GTA V at max settings with a 1070. Thanks for the review, it definitely saved me some money. I’ll wait for the PS5 release and let’s see if they addresses all the issues!
Seems to be a funn game, i'll check it. The problem with City car driving 1 is that it's too repetitive after some hours of playing. With this game, I like that you can park the car and walk with a person and complete some missions like going to a restaurant etc... Anyway they are already creating/ finishing creating the City car driving 2.0 and it seems that they improved the graphics from the previous game. Still i hope some DLC comes with it like Spain traffic signals or something like that. Hmm with this game they should add some kind of penalty system when you dont follow traffic system or something, just like it happens in City car driving, or even in Euro truck simulator 2, where you lose money.
Thank you for the review! Did you play on an SSD? I noticed that some games have problems loading map areas fast enough when the game runs on an HDD which can cause lags or stuttering like in your video.
You're a riot...lol...!!! Too bad about the flaws of the game, I would love a reasonably good game where I can drive around in Munich for old time's sake...
I'm not quite sure what you mean, but the city can't be changed. There are no special modes for driving practice unfortunately. For that I would recommend a game called "City Car Driving" which has driver training missions.
I ment that if I want to prepare to have a practial driving test in Toronto city for example, Can I chose the city so I can have a similar enviromant? @@SimulatorAdventures
City car driving is more realistic and much better since they mainly focus on realism and driving school. As for the graphic you can always use reshade 2023 or 2022 version to improve the graphic.
Great video! Besides this game, can you recommend another one where one can practice for the driving test, driving in the city under as realistic conditions as possible?
You could try City Car Driving for a driving test simulation, or BeamNG for more general driving. It's probably the most realistic driving simulator you can buy, I have many videos on my channel
It's not possible to change the map unfortunately. I would recommend a game called "BeamNG.drive" I have videos on it here on the channel. Its super realistic and has detailed, if slightly smaller maps set in America and Europe or wherever you can imagine.
Tesla Simulator's a bit touch and go. You leave it running while you make a cuppa and when you get back the PC's on fire and it ran over the cat. Allegedly.
The vehicle diversity on the street is very lacking. They obviously didn't add any traffic only cars, which wouldn't be a problem if there were like 4x more cars to drive.
i mean, the developers have made some good games in the past (the bus simulator OMSI is their work, although in an older studio) and their vision is pretty interesting. i do think they should focus on bus and tram simulators tho (LOTUS is another project of theirs, currently in development), this is just not it.
Well, the stuttering is on all their games. Have written to them to fix the optimization issues but they replied that it is your hardware that needs to be fixed.
Ow on earth did you get your wheel to be recognised in the game, I have a Logitech G29 wheel with pedals & shifter, but whenever I try to calibrate it in-game, the game for whatever strange reason doesn't even recognise my wheel. How did you get your wheel to work in this game?
I refunded it straight after I made this video so I don't really remember. I didn't have much trouble getting it to "work" but most of the buttons didn't function and the force feedback was non existent
Nice vid , but my question is , this game is like similar to real life ? Like If I take my feet off the clutch too fast the car stalls? How accurate is this compared to real life?
You already got me hooked in that intro. I do wonder what will happen...
😆 I hope seeing what happens doesn't let you down
@@SimulatorAdventures what is your setup? Wheel and shifter. I want to buy my first wheel and shifter near future and I wonder what shifter is yours, looks cool. 🙂

Exactly! The modding community makes a huge difference.
Fr city car driving is way better
They are developing City car Driving 2.0 that will release in Q1 of 2024
The only great driving simulator is BeamNG, but it's AI is just too dumb for now.
I'll be waiting for City Car Driving 2 instead, it seems like a dev team that (mostly) knows how to make a good driving experience
I hope they can provide more info about CCD2 very soon, the trailer they already released didn't show much! But yes I am excited for it
I had even forgot about it. If it has at least map modding capabilities!
@@gabrielv.4358 I hope it have...
hopefully it's good but honestly we can't go around expecting beam ng drive experience from every driving sim, which I do xD

The game does have potential but I think they've wasted it by rushing this game out at such a high price. They will struggle to recover from this.
Ohh yes you are owner of tang countys freind
Someone who reviews steam games has a literal section called what pc do I need and one option is:
Ask NASA if they have a spare computer
The city and driving reminds me of Fernbus Sim :)
Absolutely XD although Fernbus definitely has a lot more going for it! It actually has gameplay ;)
Hi, I bought this game today, I love it, I'm glad you filmed it, you're my favorite youtuber 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Thank you! How are you finding the game?
Steam reviews, although not many, are terrible.
However, seeing how long city car driving has been around and how many updates it has had, I do have faith that one day this will be a decent experience.
I too hope that the game will be updated, there's a long way to go but the basics are here. Just that those basic features lack polish
Way overpriced.
Definitely overpriced. What were they thinking? 🙈
@@SimulatorAdventures they were thinking money, money, and more money
Just like the game made by paradox
I front of nfs unbound it is underpriced
They couldn’t even afford proper licences
The city looks quite true to detail! I’ve been a few times in Munich and i remember it being very similar.
I miss the rubbish the burning or looted cars and the no go zone muggers
I agree, it does have a convincing feel ...!
Do you reckon they'll keep it updated or abandon it quickly and have it's sole purpose to be a cash grab?
I reckon they will update it for a few months, but in all likelihood given the history of the publisher Aerosoft this game will be dead and forgotten by next year
@@SimulatorAdventures That sucks to hear tbh. I'm holding out hope that the devs of City Car Driving can provide us with a sequel in two years time.
It has potential, needs better FFB, should let you customise and modify cars and play with others online. Also should have income based missions or jobs so you can then use that money to buy better cars and mods etc. Maybe stuff like Uber driver or something
I love the background music, that is from Gran Turismo 4.. Nice detail, gonna watch the rest of the video
UK roads + VR and some better pedals would make this amazing
this is what i've been waiting for thanks mate
No problem 👍 Hope you found this video useful
1:37 wow I like that you in-game FPS turned on, not many youtubers have it turned on.
Yeah I think it helps people to see how the game runs, also I just like having it on screen 🤠
Likewise, my friend, likewise @@SimulatorAdventures

“A van”. That van is a Mercedes Sprinter, my man. And they really are fast. 3 litre turbos. Very fun to drive.
OG CityCar driving is better!
I wish it had mod support
Yeah 👍
This looks like more a game to grab some extra money to keep developing the full game
You're right, it doesn't feel developed at all and the price is a massive red flag to me
It needs licensed cars, more cars, better engine sounds, a much lower price, maybe roleplay servers and a larger map and it would be GREAT
Roleplay servers? I really think multiplayer would be impossible for these developers XD
@@SimulatorAdventures lolll
The first problem is that the rev counter only goes to 5000 RPM before it get red. Should be a lot higher for a TSI. How hard can it be? What a horrible game in every single way.
Yeah that's why I thought it sounded and acted more like a diesel, even though it's meant to be a petrol :/
Volkswagen enthusiasts will notice the TDI tachometer in a TSI!
Driving simulator doesn't mean focusing on physiics it teaches you to learn and follow on-road rules.

Lovely GT4 soundtracks, Combines completely with several car games, so chill
I love using the GT4 soundtrack, especially now I've found a clean high quality version of it here on TH-cam!
If there are mods, I'd love. If there are mods of other maps, I'd love even more! If I could mod my own car without many knowledge, I'd buy it NOW!
There is modding support, not for maps I don't think. The workshop is slowly filling up but to be honest it's very early days
Looks like I'll be sticking with City Car Driving. Wish it had some stretches of highway like this does though.
>sees a road "island"
>"Ooh parking"
>"Oh that's not parking whatever"
Lol
for 30€ i can buy BeamNG and some payed mods (and its more Worthy)
Indeed. You could also buy a lot of other great driving games, including Euro Truck or even City Car Driving which isn't amazing but still far better than this
Yeah and the Crash Physics are better
This plus beamng and apple vision. Next is generative ai Model that uses Google earth to create full 1:1 scale maps automatically

Do the car move when u let go of the brake? you know like in the city car driving sim
I don't think it does, at least it didn't when I got out of the car and left it in drive. Also there's no hotkey for the hand brake which is weird
Is it on ps5?
does the automatic cars creep forword?
when using a manual do you have to use clutch because i want a game where you can stall but most xbox games do not allow this
You can choose to use automatic clutch I think
