1. One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by a data processing device, cause a system to perform:

  • graphically rendering a virtual environment using a physics engine;

    simulating a vehicle within the virtual environment using the physics engine, responsive to user inputs controlling one or more control systems of the vehicle;

    providing a first vehicular control sub-mode, wherein a default camera angle of the first vehicular control sub-mode provides a view from behind and above the vehicle being controlled in three dimensional space, wherein the first vehicular control sub-mode provides a first targeting reticle for a first weapon associated with the vehicle; and

    providing a second vehicular control sub-mode, wherein a default camera angle of the second vehicular control sub-mode provides a view from behind and below the vehicle being controlled, and wherein the second vehicular control sub-mode provides a second targeting reticle for a second weapon associated with the vehicle.
