Ok so I didnt sleep last night again, and on my browsing through the Orbiter forums I found this.. havnt downloaded it yet, still deciding if its worth the time… It might be a good way to kill some spare time?
EDIT: Hahaha.. Once you get past the frusteration of figuring out controls and getting your footing, its abit of pointless fun hehe.. Like bridge builder I suppose (http://www.bridgebuilder-game.com/)
Should add this to our list ( when we make one =p ) of games/programs to mess around in to waste some spare time that are free… Have a go at flying the planes.. See what happens when you tip it from side to side too quickly ;)
Reading control and introduction .pdf files I really do recommend for this if your prone to frusteration such as myself =p
Peace <3
EDIT: Scroll down a bit for some basic controls ive had to commit to memory to play this “game” =p

I had a go of that game yesterday. I sure need to read the instructions. I got the truck to start but it was either revving too low, or too high depending on the gear. Probably because I couldn’t find the key for clutch.
Should add this to our list ( when we make one =p )
Could add it to here?

Yeah we can make as many sub pages as we like. Agree it wouldn’t really fit in best games – but a sub page for free games is fine.

ok some basic controls from memory.. –
Basic Controls –
Enter: Enter or exit your vehicle.
X- Battery power on/off. Switch on before starting ignition.
S- Engine starter/ignition.
Arrow keys – Up = Accelerate. Down = Brake. Left = turn left. Right = Turn right.
Numpad keys – Most numpad keys are for changing camera angle. You don’t use it as much when you get the hang of the right mouse click, but sometimes you need to fix up your level of zoom, numpad is much better for this.
RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON: Click and drag to change your camera angle… very handy sometimes!!
Q – cycle between gear shifting modes. Fully automatic, auto clutch, fully manual.
Page Up/Page Down – cycle up or down your automatic gear box. < R,N,D,1,2 >
Shift – clutch when in manual mode. Hold it down, then cycle your gears with A or Z.
A is gear up, Z is gear down.
C – cycle through different views.
F1 thru to F12 keys are typically for working the hydraulics and arms and gadgets on your trucks.. Experiment, if you have good eyes you can make out what the dashboard tells you it says.
**********DEATH KEYS-***********
-PRESS ESCAPE ONCE AND THE GAME QUITS, WATCH ACCIDENTAL TAPS. Press ESC again to close the credit screen.
Press I key to “reInitialize” your current vehicle.
Press R key to goto Rescue vehicle.
LEFT MOUSE BUTTON- Pressing your left mouse button on vehicles and dragging it will, most of the time, drag your vehicle about with it.. CAUTION: may be buggy, may cause damage to your vehicle, may stretch parts of your vehicle out about 100 metres.
********************************
Hope that helps.. I really recommend using the Automatic gear shift ( Q cycle key) to begin with, to get the hang of handling vehicles in game, do that for a few days, and when youve got the basics down, mess about with semi/full manual shifting.
