Virtual SlotCars

Great game, for $10 this game is excellent value. This is actually quite detailed and realistic. Having experience with semi serious slot car racing I can say that this game really nails the experience of neck to neck racing. The best part is if you come off the track you automatically get put back on. The value of this cannot be under stated because its a real downer when playing for real. Also in semi serious slot car racing, in a race format, if you come off you are out of the race. In this if you come off you get put back on after a uniform delay and can attempt to still win the race over the long term, hoping that the AI comes off, as it does. If you use a game pad the anologue trigger works just like a real variable controller. To sum up: suprisingly entertaining game with a lot of detail. Runs at maximum 1080p. Excellent value for $10. Great stuff keep it up.

Love the game, there's a good sense of progression, you can tune your car to your liking, controls are easy to understand, there's definitely a technique to how you drive the car. The track creator is a little confusing at first but it gets easy quickly. The only reason I'm not recommending this is because the game has been abandoned since 2019 but the dev didn't officially announce it, they just stopped posting or responding...

We can finally build and race professional slot cars. The key word in this is build. For the uninitiated, building is the equivelant of tuning. To acvhive this, parts on cars this small are usually replaced, added and/or removed as opposed to cars that are large enough to have adjustable parts. With that out of the way.....on to the review. There are many words that describe how we feel about things. I am going to try not to use any of those words. It will be difficult do to the level of awesome they have achived in simulating real slot cars. This is not the TCR type of track and car, not the tyco, not the cliffhangers, this is a simulation of professional slot cars. The speed is unreal and I mean that in a good way. Even with the stock engine I was able to lose control and leave the track easily. You actually have to slow down at times. The car can be too fast for full speed on certain straights. Thats when I knew they (VSC Dev1 and Team) knew what to do to make this the most realistic slot car experience to date. That is not suprising to me since they made the previous best slot car title. The difference is this one is a true simulator with unapologetically accurate physics. It even looks like the cars weigh the same as real slot cars. This is that detailed. They included a track creation tool built right into this. If you know or want to know what top level slot car racing looks like, this is for you. If you are tired of replacing your real slot car stuff, this is for you. If the thought of your cat, bird, dog, curious child, etc. no longer being able to join in your miniature racing racing sounds too good to be true, this is for you. If you have never driven/raced/crashed a slot car ad want to give it a go, this is perfect for beginners as well. https://youtu.be/KvPzVrYiyls

1) realistic feel and movement of cars on track- they nailed it. love how the cars move and crash etc. you can tell they put a lot of work making the racing realistic- then adding to the game after that. 2) customizable cars- changing colors of bodies and helmets. awesome- my cars have to be jet black and blood red. the garage and parts element is fun, buying different bodies and engines etc. customizing the cars, then having to adjust your strategy to the more powerful engines- 3) noise of cars is authentic. sounds like.... slot cars. i will say i muted the music, then brought it back. now i like the music- complements the experience without overwhelming. 4) tracks and look of the game is excellent. the camera feature is rad. and the different views... 5) the three throttle mode on the keyboard with , . / is good. the other slot car game has a mouse slider- not good. VERY NICE. imo, the use of these three buttons is simple yet hard to master and works like the slot trigger. once you get super fast cars you will need that third button. the negative review says the game is difficult and the cars fly off the track too much. i dont agree..... i find the game to be easy to play yet challenging. authentic. looking forward to its progress. i enjoy this one, thumbs up to the team who worked on this. needs porsches and ferraris to put it over the top! love me some 917s, 911s, and GTOs adding a number to your car would be cool. 9.5/10 i will be playing the hell out of this.

Abandoned by the dev's sadly

This is the slot racing game I've been looking for so long. VSC is a game with the potential to become the best and only Pro, club and home slot car simulation game. The developers did listen to the input from the community and where passionate to make it a great game. Pro's: [list][*]singleplayer [*]multiplayer [*]AI cars [*]realistic looking slotcar body's [*]inline, sidewinder and anglewinder chassis [*]rubber, soft sponge, hard sponge and silicone tires [*]lots of electro motors [*]great 2D and 3D track editor [*]2, 4, 6 and 8 lane tracks [*]Xbox 360 controller (Windows 7 and 8.1) [*]Xbox One controller (Windows 8.1 and 10) [*]The car physics and vehicle dynamics (engine) are recently been updated and work reasonably good. [*]The AI cars (computer opponents) have also been improved.[/list] Con's: [list][*]After playing a few MP races I think the client driver has allways a disadvantage. His slot car drives more choppier as the host slot car. [*]When driving with the maximum number of AI cars and track lanes, this relative simple game is stuggling for fps, while other race games on my PC run absolute fluent. It looks like the game doesn't make optimal use of the GPU on the video card for there graphics (I use a Radeon R9 290 Tri-x 4GB video card and Intel Core i5 4590 / 3.3 Ghz processor). [*]All barriers, guardrails and pit building are not free to place everywhere on the table. They have very limited and fixed position relative to the track determined by the software. [*]There is no landscape editor, the landscape is complete flat. [*]The 3D room simulation needs a complete overhaul to be able to edit and simulate Pro table constructions, club rooms, sport halls, basements, lofts and so on. [*]VSC fullscreen doesn't work with AMD ReLive (GPU gameplay recording).[/list] At the moment this game is already "worth every penny". Support this great game and buy yourself a copy today. Hans

Très bon jeu, avec des circuits sympa et que tu peux créé.Sinon pas pu testé le multi car manque de joueurs peut-etre pas assez mis en avant par les devs ou steam. Maintenant, j'espère que les devs n'ont pas laissé tombé le jeu sincèrement.

It doesn't make any sense the amount of grinding required to play a new map, let alone a custom one made by yourself. I wanted this game for having a good time between chores, not for playing for hours just to get two new maps. It's a shame since the physics, the graphics and the track editor are really neat, but I won't spend time on unlocking tracks by playing the same ones again and again and again. If they remove that grind mechanic I might return to this game, but for now there's no chance I'd recommend it to a casual player like me

A year ago, I wouldn't have given this game a second thought, but since receiving a Carerra Digital slot car set for Christmas, slot car racing has become one of my favorite pastimes. It was mere coincidence that I even stumbled across this game on Steam, but it has rapidly become my favorite video game, full stop. Pros: This game simulates the look, the feel, and the physics of slot car racing to a very high degree of realism, allowing players to race on elaborate and lengthy tracks they would otherwise never be able to afford in the real world. The same is true for car customization, and it's all here; chassis architecture, gear ratios, motor speeds, tire materials, wear and tear. The in-game currency rewarded for participating in races allows you to purchase new parts, new tracks and scenery, and to keep your cars in working condition. And the track designer is actually superior to any track designing software that slot car racers pay an arm and a leg for. Cons: The kickstarter for this game never reached its funding goal, so this may be as far as it's ever developed (but you still have a complete game here). There is a limited amount of music in the game, and it gets very repetitive (I turn it off and listen to music from an external source while I play). If you have never played with slot cars before, you might struggle with the entire premise of this game. Unfortunately, multiplayer is dead as a doornail, so one must treat this as a single-player game. The default camera setting on every track is way too zoomed in, but you can use keyboard commands to zoom out and reorient the camera, and those changes stay locked in per track until/unless you change them again. The alternative camera perspectives (like 3rd person at track level) have limited utility. I will highly recommend this game to anyone who loves slot cars, and also to those with a passing curiosity about them (better to spend 10 bucks on a slot car simulator before spending several hundred dollars on a set without knowing what you're getting into, IMHO). The triggers on an X-Box controller work exactly the same as a real-world slot car controller, but the keyboard buttons work well too. There are a finite number of player-modded car bodies (Corvettes, Audi R8s, Camaros, rally cars, McLarens, etc.) and dozens of club racing track files available in a Facebook group devoted to this game. Please be advised that some of those player-created track mods are extremely, needlessly, and stupidly difficult, and even very good players will struggle to win races against the AI on such tracks. I highly recommend reading the instruction manual that comes with this game, and reorient the camera for each track so that you're zoomed out and can see more of it. This makes racing a lot easier and a lot more fun. I've clocked 41 hours playing this game in only 10 days, and that's not bad for a $10 title. EDIT: Now up to 90 hours a year later, so this game does have replay value.

[b] Bonnes sentations mais ... [/b] Le jeu est vraiment très sympa de façon générale ( graphismes , prise en main , contenu , son ) et je me replonge rapidement dans les courses que je faisais gamin sur ce genre de circuit . L'avantage ici c'est que le jeu est plus poussé que les circuits pour enfant et ressemble plus a une version adulte/amateur ( Éditeur de circuit , bcp de réglages et de pièces a modifier ... ) , ce qui rallonge énormément la durée de vie . Mais le bémol : il y a encore du travail et je ne vois plus de mise a jour depuis quelques mois , je jeu est achetable dans sa forme actuelle mais a besoin de finitions pour le sortir de ce coté un peu trop Alpha a mon gout et pour passer le cap de 10- 15 heures de jeu dessus . Je mets un commentaire positif aussi pour encourager les devs a finir leur jeu qui ne demande pas grand chose pour être classé dans le lot des bons jeux de simulation sur steam .
