Microsoft Train Sim 2 Announced.

  • Not three days no, Nothing THAT big. You would be lucky to hit 20 mph average per hour.

    Personally my record is Seattle to Boston inside of four days or about 90 hours despite two breakdowns with a semi.

    If you go to Fileplanet or Fileshack and download any number of Demo programs you will see for yourself at no charge a typical railroad game in the first person.

    Here is a short fraps capture of a recent Demo:

    This one needs to be saved to your machine and then opened with a Flash Player. This Demo was the EA's recent Railroads Sim that they are working on.

    One flash player I have used with good luck is this:

     http://www.wimpyplayer.com/products/wimpy_standalone_flv_player.html

    Both windows and Mac can use this player. Just create a folder to save your Flash Video to and you will need Winzip for windows to open the Wimpy player.

    It isnt the best quality. Maybe one day the web hosters will allow the videos to be DVD quality, but aint found one yet. All want to use flash to save bandwidth.

  • This is great

    NOW WHERE IS THE CSX TRAIN!!!!!!!!!!
