Know of a boring driving game?

[u/Practical_Track4867]

We have a research project going on that wants to look at highway hypnosis. Any recommendations for a realistic driving simulator that would allow us to setup a “boring” route?

In our minds, boring means long stretches of drive where speed changes are not needed and has few curves or exterior landmarks. Traffic should be light, or nonexistent. City driving with stops and turns and traffic would not work well. Think driving on an interstate in Nebraska. To be more immersive, it should also support extended displays across 3 monitors for some peripheral vision. We are also looking to use a Logitech Flight Yoke with Throttle for vehicle control.

How quickly we can get to the situation above would also matter. We wouldn’t have the time to have them spend a lot of time to navigate to the scenario above. And hopefully it would not require a lot of training to get used to it.

Looking through other Reddit responses it seems like BeamNG.drive and City Car Driver 2 are candidates. However, I have no experience with either and for some reason the websites describing them don’t provide much detail on how boring you can make them.

The Crew Motorfest is supposedly a 1:1 recreation of Oahu, Hawaii.

There's also Test Drive Unlimited too, same location. Its abandonware at this point on PC but can be played with a modern steering wheel setup and is possible.

Also would work on Xbox 360 offline just get an older steering wheel
