I have MSTS and Auran 2004. I use 1 gig of ram and a Ti4600 vid card. There are a number of additional software such as the 20th Century ltd. And Sand Patch.

I am looking forward to MSTS 2.

I have both MSTS and TRS2004. I have been working with the "Surveyor" feature in TRS2004 and am well on my way to building a virtual version of my "real" model railroad. It hasn't been without a few bumps as I learn to use it, but the results are most satisfying.

Something I've found really enhances my sim experience is the Rail Driver console. Granted, it's over $150 with shipping, but once you use it, you'll never control a sim train from the keyboard again. It is possible that they may be creating an AAR stand version, for the purists who feel that a console isn't correct for their favorite loco.

I was given Trainz for Christmas last year but you have to use the number pad for controls. Unfortunately, the computer with the number pad won't allow me to install Trainz and the one that will let it be installed doesn't have a number pad! So I play Train Dispatcher 2.0 or 3.0, depending on the territory.

You can use the mouse to drag controls in the cab to activate them. I haven't used the program in awhile but I don't recall anything where I HAD to use the number pad.

I use MSTS. I'm really looking for some add-ons for my software and don't really know where to look as of yet. I'd like some free add-ons particularily of Canadian type, are there any?

Where does one find new routes to try?

I saw once that there was a commercial version of Kicking Horse Pass for CPRail, is that still available. As a conductor presently working for the Huron Central Railway out of Sault Saint Marie Ontario I really get a kick out of seeing some new places and scenery that MSTS offers.
