this thing basically allows you to talk with peopel although you don't have
them on your contact list, with special commands beginning with a slash key
to do other things like display who's online.

that's something he would not be able to do in our sim as train speed and
so on is hardcoded however if people want that changed we can think of
something. btw I'll be adding you to our dropbox folder and subscribing to

hmm my friend did mods on a electric train, but then I suspect he doesn't
play the game properly, he doesn't care to mission on those things and
will cheat when he can.
so who knows.

Hi Shaun,
Umm...Racing trains in MS Train Simulator? I don't think so. As far as I
know you can't race trains in Train Simulator. It is very much like a
train version of MS Flight Simulator in that it models driving real
trains.
For example, first you are given a list of trains to choose from. You
can choose from a diesel, electric, or steam train. Then, you can select
the continent and route to drive. I don't know what the current MS Train
Simulator has but I remember you could pick routes in the U.K., U.S.,
and Japan. Probably others as well.
Each train handles completely differently. For example, if you chose a
steam train you would have to figure how much coal you need to keep in
the fire box at any given time. Too much coal and you will smother the
fire. Too little coal and the fire will not get hot enough to boil the
water in the boiler. Of course you can have the computer handle the job
as fireman, but the computer isn't designed to manage the fire box with
maximum efficiency in mind. Therefore if you let the computer handle the
job as fireman you might not get top speed out of your train.
Then, each train has different gages and breaks unique to that train.
Some use the old steam and vacuum breaks and the newer trains use air
breaks. On a steam train you have steam and water gages to keep track of
where a diesel has fuel, speed, etc. As a result you need to practice a
bit with each kind of train to learn how to drive them correctly.
Anyway, what I am getting at is I have never heard of racing trains in
Train Simulator. I do know that it is a rather sophisticated train
simulation, and from what I've heard and seen of it the game is totally
mag for train enthusiasts.

Sounds quite fun.
hmm what about train races.
In ms train sim you can modify your train and you can race it I think
