Getting Started

So, whats next? Well, after double-clicking the Simufarm Link (or the EXE) you will see a configuration screen. The first time you run this you will need to configure your graphics card, Simply select your graphics card from the drop down list and click ok. Information and tips on the Config box can be found here.

But it Crashed?

If your game crashed, you did not run VCCRT.msi, or it didn't run correctly, if you got an error message, check the section on Windows Vista Below.


Next you will breifly see a loading screen, after which the game will start. You will start inside the cab of a machine.

Note that If your Game Crashes after "Shadows.overlay", this is because you have not installed the PhysX Drivers, which can be freely downloaded from Here

Basic Key Controls:

  • Look arround : Right mouse + drag
  • Drive : W,A,S,D
  • Attach/detach: T
  • Switch machine: NUM + / -
  • Screenshot: F5

Other Information

PhysX System Software

We are sorry about the size of the PhysX driver downloads, but they are one time downloads and will only be need to download once, after that you are good to go! Also, Ageia will be releasing smaller installer packages soon. so don't worry if the large sizes are scaring you away from downloading simufarm.

Simufarm and Windows Vista

Simufarm officially supports Windows Vista, and has been sucsessfully tested on Windows Ultimate using the Aero and Basic themes. However, for best game performace, we reccomend you run Simufarm in Vista Basic theme as the Aero theme dramatically reduces performace by up to 50%. For installation you may require Administrator Access. Although it may be possible to install the Simufarm core files and updates without Admin access, Your computer also needs to have a 32 bit processor or VCCRT will fail to install. We are working to solve this as quick as possible to support 64 bit processors. You will requre Admin access to install the VCCRT package, and the Physx System Software.
