Note: This concept is still in progress and not publicly accessible at the moment.
The goal is to learn basic car controls and obey traffic rules.
The idea is to have a multiplayer server so several people can do driving lessons in parallel. Also, people can compare their progress with others. The server will be using Layout Square because it has the largest open area for the lesson layouts to fit in.
When you join the server, you will be presented with a list of driving lessons. Once you complete a lesson or a set of lessons, new lessons will be unlocked for you. When you select a lesson, you will be spawned automatically at the correct starting point.
To be able to check correct usage of various car lights and switches during the driving lessons, each player will have to have a special application running on their computer, which will connect to the local LFS instance via OutGauge and send lights and switches information to the server using special InSim commands.
Main features:
- speed limits
- car lights and switches checking (turn signals, lights, handbrake etc.)
- pedestrian crossings with marshalls as pedestrians
- multi-lane roads
- intersections with traffic lights
- traffic signs (using InSim buttons or custom autocross layout sign textures)
Example lessons:
- car starting procedure
- uphill start
- downhill stop
- 3-point turn
- reverse parking
- intersection with traffic lights
I will use this thread to post progress of the features.
Ideas and suggestions are welcome
