These are edited and some have been posted before ...... but for those who don't have railsimulator (but are interested) now is the time to buy as there is a free upgrade to Railsimulator 3 (2012) toward the end of September.

enjoy

So Cool and Crisp...
I like it Cool

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Have you tried Trainz 2010? If so how does it compare to Railsimulator? I have Trainz 2010 and it is pretty harsh on the framerates. I can turn down the settings and get it running pretty smooth and still enjoy nice scenery but it's not unusual for it to crash to menu screen in the middle of a mission, or I'll burn up all my VRAM and crash to desktop.

I've tried some of the past Trainz titles ...... I found them too much like a train set.
All the routes on Railsimulator are proper real life routes past and present the senarios are true to life and based on past timetabled services.
As for how it runs if you can run FS9 nice and smooth then Railsimulator will run nice and smooth too ...... although that remains to be seen with the update as the graphics engine is being updated too.

These are very nicely edited eno, well done. Cool

Inspires me to fire up the old Railworks 2, looking forward to the free update to TS2012. Wish there was more Australian content. Sad

Yup there are 2 stock american routes ........ Barstow to San Bernadino (Cajhon Pass) and Castle rock railroad. There are also several US routes as both pay and freeware downloads.
