Did a search for 'features' under MST2 that turned up the these interesting reviews.
KUJU Press Release
GameSpy's Preview
Gamespot's First Impression of TS 2
E3 Report
While they were all interesting, none actually explore any of the new features in detail and none stated any fixes.Well, unless there more solid info somewhere else, I got a feeling that MSTS2 will be the first train-sim that I'll pass on.

RE: MSTS2 Over MSTS

Well, that certainly is one approach.But right now, I would suspect that there is just as much (maybe more) info about 'features' floating around for all to read as there was prior to the release of MSTS1. Yet that did not stop numerous folks from jumping in and begin to better understand it for version 1. And for all the griping and moaning about what everyone thinks is wrong with the product, it still has grown in numbers, and I suspect that MSTS2 will do the same.For those technically challenged, it may be wise to wait until the others have jumped in to check it out and do the initial grunt work.Have no idea what the purchase price is going to be, but version 1 was under $30 and I just KNOW that I have had more than $30 worth of enjoyment from it, despite its many problems.Martyn T.
