Driving my C303 inside a VR game I am making

Ive been making a huge 8192m 3D environment using the Unity game engine, with mountains and trees, etc. I am working on a model of my volvo so I can drive it all around in there, but anyone else can too, even with a VR headset. This is a very early screen shot

This is a different truck, but a working one which I am learning to do the physics and scripting with.
Image

here is another of the environment (the red square is 256m for scale)

and a video another person did of them surfing down the mountain

Environment looks really great - the surf guy needs a bit more work :)
Looks like a fun way to eat up hours upon hours of time - I used to be a gamer and know how a quick
session turns into a day :shock:

Its a living, sometimes. :) Mostly its just a lot of learning and making a lot of mistakes...oddly similar to owning/fixing the real c303. :)

Very cool. My son is studying his CS in Real Time Interactive Simulation degree at DigiPen. I'll show this to him, he'll enjoy it [WINKING FACE]

I worked at Xbox for 9yrs so he comes by it honestly.

I'm in MICROSOFT Research now and getting ready to move over to Surface.

just an update, making a few modifications to the C303:

and this of the interior, you can see the dash controls a little bit, which are made from photos I took of mine.

This finished one will be driveable, working dpprs, driving/top/dash lights, 2/4x4, page up down gearbox, multiple camera & cockpit views, engine sounds, dirt and track effects.
