Simidude: Open-Source Vehicle Simulator

Realistic physics and performance modeling in an open-source vehicle simulator, allowing users to drive various vehicles on tracks or open worlds.

What is Simidude?

Simidude is an open-source, cross-platform vehicle simulator program with a focus on realistic physics and vehicle performance modeling. Developed by an independent group of automotive enthusiasts, it has become popular in the sim racing community for its realistic handling, modding support, and wide selection of vehicle and track options.

In Simidude, players can get behind the wheel of over 200 accurately modeled vehicles from manufacturers like Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, and more. Each car's characteristics such as weight balance, horsepower, gear ratios, tire compounds and suspension geometries are carefully simulated to behave as their real-world counterparts. The physics engine calculates traction, aerodynamics, collision damage, and other forces on each vehicle in real-time for an authentic driving experience.

Aside from the cars themselves, Simidude places heavy emphasis on modeling race tracks down to the minor details like bumps, cracks, curbs, and road cambers. Players can test their skills on famous real-world circuits like Spa-Francorchamps and Mount Panorama, fictional tracks, as well as vast open worlds to freely roam through. The dynamic time of day, weather, and scenery environments all add to the realism.

While focused on serious racing, Simidude also offers more casual game modes as well as extensive modding support to allow players to customize their experience. With its realistic driving dynamics and vast content, Simidude has become a go-to platform for sim racers looking to test out dream cars or train for real motorsports.
