This might belong in another forum, but if you have a powerful computer you have got to get this sim. It is just like sitting in the cab of your favorite locomotive and hauling freight,coal,passengers or whatever over some very realistic and beautiful senery.You are in control of the locomotive and all of the operation of the train. Check it out at Amazon. Its only 15 bucks shipped right now. I have other simulators(flight) and this tops them all. If you love the rumble of a big diesel or steam loco you're gonna love this one.
Just received 3DTrain sim's "Vintage Rails Over Tehachapi Pass" FT's with all sorts of cars,sugar beet trains,reefer trains,pass. & my fav. steam loco,the cab-forward!Great stuff.
It isn't good unless you get 3rd party content. The rolling stock, routes, and locomotives included in the game are not high quality. If you want some great payware, check out: www.mapleleaftracks.com www.streamlines.ca For 100's of thousands of freeware files, check out: www.train-sim.com
I would highly recommend Maple Leaf Track's Kicking Horse Pass and SandPatch. Has Microsoftn come up with an updated version of the basic sim yet? Len
