It will be interesting to see if the system requirements change from the one in use now. Some midrange machines already have trouble with graphics intensive programs. Also, while my machine can handle CFS1&2, 3 is unavailable as it requires 16mb of video memory. MSTS goes this route and I'll be staying on v1. Also, given the vast amount of work put into v1 by a huge amount of people, it will be interesting to see if v1 is abandoned, and if so, how fast.
MOST, and I say MOST people without a built-in card should be able to run it. by built-in i mean acually contained in the motherboard chipset, not in an agp slot.
I'm already planning to set aside money for a new video card and more RAM to handle the coming Auran and Microsoft offerings. Gah, and I thought a 32MB card would be enough for a while. Doh!Assuming that TS03 works, works with my prior locomotive fleet, and I can play it, I'll probably migrate rather quickly.
