I really don't understand the point of a train sim, theres no freedom like a car/plane sim. Whats so fun about being told where to go?

Following the successful release of Microsoft Flight Simulator X, the Aces Studio is using the same technology to develop a new version of Microsoft Train Simulator. Unrelated to our previous Train Simulator development efforts, this version will be an all-new product built on the Flight Simulator X platform, the culmination of 25 years of product development and technology.

Built on the FSX platform? Does that mean it's going to be half finished, with no dual-core or SLi support and rushed out in time for a major holiday?

If it doesn't interest you, how hard is it to click the back button? Or not click on the thread at all?

Ive always liked trains

Im just wonderring if you can build tracks and run a company like Transport tycoon?

 

[WHAT!!!]

Be interesting if they made it so they could interface together and have people doing the trains while others flying the planes hehe.

Imagine a antonov russian transport plane doing a flyby to someone in a choo choo train hehehe

There is already another 1 due for release is'nt there this year besides this one ?

 

[neil27]

yeah but you can make the train be late! check that out for a simulation...just like real life, and how about derailing it woohoo

 

[ringo747]

i never will have a train sim near me but thought it would be of interest to someone!

 

[Mr Men]

Always wanted to be a train driver when I was a kid, sounds like it could be worth a look

 

[Solari]

I've never really been into trains but I must admit I'd love a HUGE train set (like the one in Beetlejuice I think...?)

Train sets and Scalextrics 4tw tbh

Another thread about another train sim

The sim mentioned in the above thread is about the sim in development by the orginal MSTS developers.

And no realistic crashes.

Lol, not in a microsoft sim. Have you seen the plane "crashes on fsx"? Definatley not real life.

 

[Robe$h]

Yes should be a good one.. If it's based on the FSX technology then it should be proper eye candy like

Just make sure you got a PC that can handle it

If they released Tokyo Bus Driver on the PC I wouldn't say no

Not played San Andreas multiplayer then?

 

[Solari]

If they released Tokyo Bus Driver on the PC I wouldn't say no

Israeli Bus Driver would probably be more nerve-racking and exciting tbh

 

[WHAT!!!]

Yep played it but never came across big planes like that and i dont remember there being trains in it, unless they put it in after i stoped playing ages ago.

It is a great mod for a great game tho, its a pitty Rock Star did'nt do it them self in the first place, im sure it would'nt of taken them to long to of made done it.
