Excuse my ignorance, but what can be so exciting about simming a train? It only goes forward or backward (slowly). It can't climb, can't make graceful two-minute turns and you certainly can't lose control suddenly and crash, wiping out a good flight in the process. What be the allure?

My system: AMD Phenom 9500 cpu, 2 x eVGA e-GeForce 8800GTS Superclocked vidcards (640Mb DDR3 each), Zalman "sunflower" 9700 fan, Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 mobo, 4Gb G.Skill PC2-6400 DDR2 800Mhz RAM, 2 x Sony 20X DVD writers, Thermaltake Toughpower 850W modular p/s, 7 x 120mm fans, Windows XP Home and SP3, 2 x 250Gb Western Digital SATA-300 HDs (1 for apps, 1 for storage and precious files backup), CoolerMaster CM 690 case, NOD-32. Won't run FSX. Locks up a lot with FS9, too.

Well there can be hard to make timetables. You can do missons witch invole remenering lot's of stuff (like a traffic pattern in FS) Wink

. And the rain can hit around 110Mph. and the bullut train hit's about 250Kph Wink

the train can derail... quite easily i might add Embarrassed

and it's a lot more fun than it seems at first sight... i have to admit i thought the exact same thing when i first saw it, but then the curiosity started gaining on me and i had to try the game

it's really cool when that 200 car train that weighs like a gazillion tons starts moving... and you know you'll have to make it stop somehow later on Cool

i just wish MSTS gave you more freedom... i felt somewhat stuck with the scenarios it gives you....
i wanted it to be more like... choose a train, choose a track, ride...

well, i didn't play it for that long actually.... maybe there is more freedom and i just didn't know about it

Good sim in any case... just missing good DVCs Roll Eyes

Cheers
