I would like trains to be able to smash through stuff

You know, like a car or rubble on the track. Now, the train just passes through it? Have a closed gate. If the train tries to go through, the hole thing will come down!Close, but not quite the same, I would like external forces (not just another train or going to fast) to be able to derail a train. Like a major obstacle.Thanks!

I agree with metraup. It would be nice to see stuff actually get crushed or moved when you hit it. It would make MSTS more realistic to have things actually get hit. For example, the idiot that darts out ahead of you in his car at a crossing. Having hazards get hit would make a great way to have an activity end. It would be much better than seeing your engine just go through something.mrWM734 current project: B&O R.R. "Atlantic"

Nope, I'm going to have to disagree on that one. If you want blood, guts and gore there's about 2000 other games you can choose from, some of which I've played myself. But I think it should be kept out of this one. I'm totally satisfied with the ghostly cars, people and animals.More realistic derailments would be nice but let them just topple on each other. I'd prefer to keep the fires, toxic clouds, BLEVE's etc out of it. (It hits too close to home since my job involves process and chemical safety for a major chemical manufacturer. I'm trying to prevent these things in real life). And after 9/11 I've kind of lost my taste for that kind of stuff.

Well what I ment was that the rail companies ( Like UP and I think BNSF ) are telling MS that they don't want derailments in MSTS 2 . That is why I said that.My website for MSTS Pic's www.msnusers.com/shanestrains

Unfortunately, this game is based on being realisitic. So realisitc derailments, explosions, etc. is the only thing suitable. What has always bothered me is that when you are driving a train and pass a red light, the game stops and you must try again. In real life, does this occur? No, it does not. In real life, when you pass a red signal, you collide into other trains or you hit a derailment or you go off into the water because a switch was activated. I wish this game didn't stop like that. It is a pet peeve.

Well, that means once you run over red light in Sim, the Sim should lock itself and never let you to play again.
At least that's what happens in real world if you survive.

Trains being able to crumple in a derailment would be nice, too. No explosions would be fine with me.Thanks!

In Flight Sim, I remember, if the plane crashed, the wings and tail would break off... For a train, probably the pantograph or coupler will break off? And given you a broken coupler message...

It would be nice for these to happen. Like we have the current sliders for realism things and sound and graphics, why not a physical damage realism slider. If MS says TS is as real as it gets, why not live up to that name and be as real as it gets.

The R rating stuff is just plain silly, first person shooters since DOOM have had pixelated blood. I know what the pundits say about Columbine, two kids shot up their classmates, those two kids played DOOM, so playing DOOM turns you into a psychopath. One fact they leave out, 20 million teenagers all across America played DOOM, and did not take guns and shoot up their high schools. Therefore the only scientifically correct conclusion is that violent games like DOOM prevent the overwhelming majority of teenagers from shooting up other teenagers in real life. Silly, but not nearly as silly as the other theory.Blood & guts * feathers scattered all over is totally uneccessary anyway, we're talking about wrecking machinery, not simulated killing. Combat Flightsim and Combat Flightsim 2 have about the lamest damage models I've seen yet, but Midtown Madness 1 & 2 show a little more promise. That type of thing is all that's really needed for trainsim, in Midtown Madness 1 & 2 there's no actual killing or wounding permitted, pedestrians magically dive clear just before you run them over, only inanimate objects get wrecked.

Yes, in TS2 i would like to see things like realistic train body damage (crusted parts, bent parts etc), and i would also like to see things like real-time weathering. Like how in 1nsane the car gets more and more dirty the more you drive. I would like the train to get more and more dirty like that too.From what i've seen and heard of MSTS2, i cant say im too impressed, and if they dont add something to make it unique to MSTS1, then im not even going to bother forking out the cash to buy it.

You obviously have not watched the latest videos of this game have you ? It's the one that shows the line of people stepping on the train after it pulls into the station . Oh and I have read about two other articles that say that you will drive in a "Living " world where all the traffic laws will be obeyed by the citizens and they will actully will have people doing jobs on the side of the road like digging holes and other stuff that you would find real people doing .My website for MSTS Pic's www.msnusers.com/shanestrains

This issue isnt only with MSTS as I play Gran Turismo on the PS2 and in the forums there people say the same thing here about the cars not having dammage. polyphony stated that the Manufactures of the cars pay them not to put in the dammage efects and so the new reliece of Gran Turismo 4 there still wont be dammage however the handeling will be worse and there will be a loss of credits for fixing the dammage in GT4 incentive not to crash the cars.
Some how I doubt Microsoft is any differant and dammage effects will not be included as far as I can say and I to dont crash the trains for a thrill but I have derailed cause I wasnt paying enuf attention to my speed.Don Pottorff
