Why is finding certain simulator routes such a hassle?
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 7:04 PM
I've been having some real problems with this, so any help is appreciated![8D] I own a Microsoft Train Simulator game and I've been trying to figure out if I can take a train coast to coast across the U.S. without stopping. P.S.: please post all answers in this thread only.[:)][:D][8D]

1. You can't (even if you could it wouldn't be worth it), the longest MSTS route I know is around 300 miles long or a few hours).

2. Don't place so many characters in the topic name, you stretched out the screen.

3. Wrong forum (there is a Trainsimulation software board here as well)

Sorry. If I can't, could I combine several different routes?

You're welcome. By the way, the title was just an attention getter since I'm brand new. Have you seen my threads in the train sim forum? If not, I'd appreciate if you did, even if you didn't post anything.

Thanks for fixing it [:)]

Sorry, but I can't help you with the train simulator problems, because I run a macintosh computer (macguy) and there (unfortunately) aren't any train sims for the mac! [:(]

From what little I do understand, I think there are the different runs, and once you complete the run that's it, it's on to the next run....

Don't think you can link them one after another, etc.

Hope I helped a little.

Best bet is to check google.com and check out the train sim webpages and see if they can help you.

I've tried that, but it seriously has about 3 million different things that come up, and I don't know about you, but I don't feel like going through 3 million results! Anyway, you could tell some of the other members on here that might be a help to me about my cross country dreams. Thanks.[swg]
