![]() Essentially, the elements of each vehicle are accurately modeled mathematically. Rigs of Rods (RoR) is based on real-world physics, using a soft-body physics model. It began as a physics modeling experiment, and became a complete vehicle simulation tool. Rigs of Rods ( ) is a fascinating multi-craft simulator. This month we discuss a very flexible vehicle simulator. There are many fascinating simulators available free for exploring land, air, sea, and space. They are designed to let you simply explore something new. They don’t (usually) have point systems or even goals. Many of them are quite realistic, and encourage you to experience things you might never do in real life. ![]() ![]() Simulators are software programs that are designed to mimic some real or imagined situation. Simulation software allows all these things and more. Like many people, I learn by doing, and I’d really like to learn how to do things I might never do in real life, like drive a tow truck, lift huge loads with a crane, roll an off-load vehicle (and survive) fly a helicopter, and drive an off-shore racing boat. While we frequently talk about educational software in this column, I’ve long felt that most “educational” software falls short.
