January 14, 20215 yr Not done any flying for the past couple of days (just installed a freeware airport and checked it out), I've been messing about with these bad boys.. I believe there are a fair few members who are into model railways, and some who are into simulated trains too: I charged up one of my old XBOX 360 controllers and resurrected Train Sim - not touched it for more than a year. 🍻 Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.

January 14, 20215 yr Imagine ASOBO making new TrainSim! Rado Rado i7 4770K@4,1Ghz HT on since release of MSFS1080 Ti 11GB 32GB DDR3 RAMSamsung SSDs
January 14, 20215 yr Hello Mark.Besides average operations, does the sim show fueling of the locomotives?. When i don't fly i watch railroad videos with different scenarios from simple operations to derailments.Graphics are very good!!!.
January 14, 20215 yr Author 1 minute ago, Paul Deluca said: does the sim show fueling of the locomotives? Yes, sort of. All you do is park the loco at a refuelling station and click on the pump (or for steam locos, the coal on the stage, or the water pipe). I believe that Train Sim World has a better representation in that you actually take the nozzle and put it in the tank...

January 14, 20215 yr Great!!! Cold start diesels are my favorite. The man trying to start a Maybach locomotive engine lit with a fuel soaked rag at the air intake. Hard starts with flames shooting out the exhaust stacks.Glad to see good rail sims out there.

January 14, 20215 yr I think DTG are doing TS for the new XBOX version after MS pulled FSW and FSX:SE of them. Raymond Fry.
January 14, 20215 yr Many, many moons ago, I bought MS Train simulator, v1.0 I reckon it was. Never could get into it. I didn’t feel the always new thrill with each flight that I feel flying an aircraft. Start the engine and be careful to stop the train along the station platform . Always the same shtick. Maybe the simulators are much better now, more complex. What does thrill you in a train simulation 😃 ?

January 14, 20215 yr Yeah, I like train sims as well. Actually I am a bit of a sim-nerd in general to be honest. I've never had that much interest in trains (nor airplanes before being intrigued by flight sims a couple of decades ago). However train sims such as Train Simulator / Train Sim World / Run8 peaked that interest as well. I've kind of been waiting for a new iteration of Run8 for some time now, hope It'll come soon!

January 14, 20215 yr Can't beat a bit of Norfolk Southern action. 🙂 Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
January 14, 20215 yr I was reading a business news story about CSX buying Pan Am Railroad from Timothy Mellon. I'm curious who will own the famous property rights once the deal is done.
January 14, 20215 yr Trains here too. And racing, and NFL, and rally, n motorcycle racing. And, and, and... LOL Sue

January 15, 20215 yr I'm on Zusi3, the only one could run with a flight sim throttle set (I use TCA for power/AFB and saitek throttle for brakes) and a external monitor dashpanel display (Zusidisplay). Sadly it only sim the germany trains, which I'm far from understanding....I still would trigger PBZ every now and then....
