Having got the new TRAINZ Railroad Simulator 2004, hoping that it will do what I think the version I got July 2002 was capable of and more along the same lines, open a Map of a Route, pick a Consist and drop it into the Route anywhere and then drive it, this seems to be no longer possible ? My DREAM is a Train Sim which lets me open a Map of it, like in the AE but showing more Scenery details like in the RE and the TRS-2004 Surveyor or Moving Map, place a Player Consist anywhere, add other Consists, Locos and Rolling stock and drive FREESTYLE where I want to, doing what I want, SAVING along the Route to User Named Activities.To include going back to the MOVING MAP or clicking on a certain part of Screen Displayed Consists or Locos, changing to the clicked-on Consist, Loco or change the Driver position from one end of a Loco or Trainset to the other and then drive it forward in the changed direction. Could also allow adding more Consists or Rolling Stock and quickly move existing elsewhere rather than driving them there ?Edit-P.S: Forgot to mention realistic Wheels-on-Track and Switches Sound, properly synchronised with the speed of Trains and existing Track Joints. Correct CHUFF-CHUFF Steam Locos Sound matching the rotation of the wheels, 4 per one rotation of the driving wheels would do, ignoring the number of cylinders used by the loco and a lot more there is not enough room here to list it all ! Will we ever get that sort of Functionality in any Train Sim ? O t t o
