I feel the same about ATS. In fact, I wish it was even more boring, like real driving is. ATS has an unrealistic amount of curves and shortens the distances between cities that in real life would take many hours to travel between.
It also is devoid of any of the (often catastrophic) downsides of making a mistake in real life. Turns out driving can be relaxing and fun if you remove anxiety involving death, injury, and property damage. Perhaps the same applies to farming sims.
- mr_cyborg 4y agoYou need to check out Desert Bus.
- m463 4y agolol > The objective of the game is to drive a bus from Tucson, Arizona, to Las Vegas, Nevada, in real time at a maximum speed of 45 mph (72 km/h). The feat requires eight hours of continuous play in real time to complete. > If the player makes it to Las Vegas, one point is scored. The player has the option to make the return trip to Tucson for another point, a decision which must be made in a few seconds or the game ends. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_%26_Teller%27s_Smoke_and_Mirrors#Desert_Bus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_%26_Teller%27s_Smoke_and_...

- Tade0 4y agoHow about from Tucson, Arizona, to Las Vegas, Nevada?
- tialaramex 4y agoNote that in reality this is probably rather less boring than Desert Bus makes it look because the game deliberately over-simplifies the route. For a start Phoenix is in between Tucson and Las Vegas, but if you head that way you're also going over the Hoover Dam which is a bit more interesting than Desert Bus. Now, you could head south of Phoenix, and mostly avoid anything interesting, but you still have a few intersections and so on, this is not one endless road into the desert. Which isn't to say it'd be a compelling experience, even the Hoover Dam route would be extremely boring for most of the duration.
- Tade0 4y agoWell, I sure hope it's more interesting than the game portrays because this an item on my bucket list.
- kurupt213 4y agoWhat I can’t believe is that people will fly commercial routes from NY to Australia in real time in MS flight simulator…and that other people set up ATC, and pass the jets from ATC to ATC.
