Ride Sims does not make any claim to the intellectual property rights and registered trademarks associated with the rights holders, and as such, no infringement of those rights is intended.

Sometimes there are simulations that need testing before we release them, however we know everyone would love to get their hands on them and that would then defeat the point of us beta testing. Therefore we may invite select users to participate. We may even allow our tier 3 Patreon V.I.P users this time to time. Emailing or requesting to be a Beta tester will not gain you beta testing privileges.
Of course you can via our social channels Facebook / Twitter. We will however not make simulations upon request unless you have a Patreon Platinum Creator reward tier.
In short we are not looking for additional team members.
It is a very long time consuming process that has taken years to perfect. There is no right or wrong way to develop a simulator, we recommend learning animation and coding software online.
You can only play Ride Sims simulations via a device with flash player installed. You will also need a keyboard for keyboard shortcut commands to play.
You will need to ‘change your password’ to have the option to change your display picture.
Your scores will remain with your account details. To reset you will need to delete your account.
We make these simulations in our spare time and for FREE. Therefore it could be days, weeks and months between new simulation releases.
Ride Sims is best played on a computer on Google Chrome web browser. Some browsers do not allow all keyboard commands to work. If you change browser tab or window you may need to click on the simulation again to tell the page your keyboard inputs are for the sim window.
We've discovered an API called Ruffle which converts our flash files into an HTML5 format that allows Ride Sims to live on.
We're monitoring and logging all bugs with the creators for Ruffle. If you've found a bug, please message us on social media with steps on how to recreate the bug and provide a screenshot or video of what you are experiencing.
Only certain ride sims are mobile-ready at the moment. Simulations compatibale with mobile or tablet devices are highlighted by the blue touch icon on the bottom right of their icon.
If you are experiencing slowness when using the HTML5 mode, please try another browser. The creators of Ruffle are working on improving performance daily.
At the moment HTML5 mode is only available to admins and V.I.P tier 3 Patreon supporters. This will be released to the public soon.
Please refresh your browser cache and if this doesn't work contact us.
Unfortunately some devices aren't supported. Please try multiple browsers to double-check this and ensure you are running the latest operating system for your device.
Fullscreen mode is coming soon! Please check back soon for more information.
Yes absolutely! However Flash is end of life as of 31st December 2020 and may be turned off on some browsers in 2021. To re-enable flash please turn off HTML5 mode on the banner on the simulator pages.
