    Ok, i just got a new Steering Wheel for my PC and want some new games. I was hoping someone could help me. I want a driving game, not to much into "racing" though. Like "18 Wheels of Steel" i already have. Games like that. Like "everday" driving or carrer driving. (ex:truckdriver) I also know about "Bus Driver" too. Good Graphics are important too. Sorry for being so specific, hoping someone will be able to find something. Though if it costs money to buy, i would need an available 1Hr. trial to make sure i want to spend 20+ $$ on it.

    Thanks for the help

    DiRT is a pretty intense "racing" game. I really don't know any straight driving simulators for the PC... you're gonna be hard pressed to really find any ones worth the money...

    Test Drive Unlimited is perfect for you. It is exactly what you want. Just drive around a beautiful island in amazing cars (with good graphics) and rase occasionally.

    Test Drive Unlimited is the game to play if you have a racing wheel! It's just endless fun driving around the island! It's quite immersive.
