Has the MSTS2 craze died? Was it just a rumor? – image 2

LAST EDITED ON Dec-17-02 AT 09:10 PM (EST)

Just wondering why there hasn't been much talk of MSTS 2 on the forums lately. Does anybody have some new news to share? I've been wondering where MSTS goes from here *~þHÃt*Rat~**~classic american playa~*

It's not a rumor, right now Microsoft has an official suggestions box for the new Train Simulator... Does anyone have any news on Flight Simulator 2004?------------------------------------------------------------I'll never let go of the railroad that inspired me to be involved with trains, the Union Pacific!Has the MSTS2 craze died?

RE: Has the MSTS2 craze died? Was it just a rumor?

Dunno where.I think with the next Railway they do they should ask for a locomotive manual for the loco say sd90mac then use all of the controls listed at the engineers area. Such as distance counter, EOT info, clipboard that shows lifts, set outs, etc, just look at the manual and incorporate the info.
It would make alot of us happier simmers!Also maybe release North American Version, Europeon, asian or a base pack for say 30 and you can buy say North American pack or what ever your interests are for 30 bucks. Because some people don't run Europeon or asian and some don't run American but do run europeon and asian( or any combo). It just sits taking up space( yes i could delete it but its required for installing new routes.)
Have a good one!

RE: Has the MSTS2 craze died? Was it just a rumor?

BTW-What MSTS2 really needs: A way to define skins/repaints at a layer above the current definition set, so we don't have to have a copy of the shape file and engine physics for every single repaint (unless warranted by rebuild differences). As it stands, make a physics update or model correction and you have to recopy all the relevant lines to every single version you've made or downloaded. Of course, this would introduce a whole new can of worms of dramatic model updates that don't work with old skins, but Kuju does seem to handle track builds vis-a-vis activities moderately well.

What they really need is a better way of building routes.

MSTS2 Craze? I don't recall there ever being a craze about it. I think most of us know it is coming sooner or later, and the only post thus far have mostly been wish list and other MSTS 2 nonsence. I say enjoy what we got and worry about MSTS 2 when it comes out.ChrisFestival of Trains, NRHS 2003 Convention, June 2003, Baltimore Md. www.borail.org www.nrhs.com

I was one of the ones who attended the research sessions in Chicago. As to msts2 its not a matter of if but rather when it comes out. I do not feel free to go into details, but basicily I like what I heard and will buy msts2 when it comes out.

Nope

I think that MS should build the FWWR Tarantula line. And that idea for the country packs like asia and stuff, that's good, too.
