[Anonymous]

Has anyone heard about the new Train Simulator 2? It will feature two new routes: Horseshoe Curve in PA, and a high-speed route in Germany. Sounds promising.

I hope that No2 has train runs ending in stations or yards and not just ending rail in the middle of nowhere.

I hope they do plenty of beta testing to get the bugs out. MSTS one was good but had too many bugs sneak past testing.
I think Microsoft needs to look at all the add on market programs and see what direction the industry is heading. Many of us love MSTS1, would like to see more realism and real world activities included in future programs.

From what i heard it will come out around Oct 1 for $49.99
For more info try
http://www.microsoft.com/games/trainsim/
