I was thinking suggesting such an idea to you. Following the thread here on train sims, had me thinking it would be nice to have a forum set aside to discuss them and maybe share screenshots. I think it would be a good idea, so you have my vote.  |

I'd say 'Aye' to that one as well Tom.  Rgds: Jeff |

That looks so cool! I never looked at a train sim before. Is it similar to the flight sim? Are there freeware downloads and scenery builders along the same lines as flight sim? I'd like to look at a site if you can recommend one to me.

I think that's a very good suggestion, Tom. Train sims in particular also lend themselves to a rail version of "golden wings", especially when they are set in the steam era. It seems that many of us already share interests in both flight simming and train simming and it looks as if there are others who would like to test the waters. It's got my vote. Bruce |

That should keep you busy for a while.  ;D ;D ;D As always Bruce...... just a wealth of information!!! Rest assured I WILL check all of them out. Especially the sailing ones. I had one sail simulator years ago when I first started sailing, however, I was not very pleased with it. I will have to look at some of the other ones. Many.... MANY Thanks!! Cheers, |

Great idea Tom. Having a "Roundhouse" forum in TOH would be wonderful. A great way to start 2008.

Terrific idea, Tom  Like many here, I've always had a great interest in trains! While I've built a number of detailed train layouts (HO & N Scale) when I was younger - way younger - I haven't done much in the past 20 some years - so this would be a great start to hear the ol' whistle blow again. Now, that being said I have no idea what's out there in the sim world of trains (Engines/Stock/Scenery/Routes/Capabilities/Sounds/FPS, etc.) so for those of us that are outside looking in and coming from a flight sim environment, this would be a definite help. Especially, since we're all on the same wave-length as far as simming goes and generally know what's good and what's not. Much better then going in cold! Bruce's post is a good start. I will have to review the different sites sometime this week as Santa is due here shortly, so off for a quick nap! Thanks, Bruce! The Old Roundhouse (TORH) sounds great! Dan …it’s great being a kid again – without the glue! ;D |

OK, it's done. This is for any and all of the various train sims. Auto Racing and sailing sims can still be posted in The Pilots Grill.

For train simulation, I'd go with either openBVE or Trainz. Some people love Microsoft's Train Simulator, but I don't know about that one to say the least. I think is sort of like loving FS9 instead of FSX, you just can't move on Grand Prix Legends is the best on that area, nothing beats it. If you want a true Rally Racing simulator, Richard Burns Rally is the best. Another simulator that has not been surpassed. You can buy it and Grand Prix Legends for very cheap. I own Richard Burns Rally. Both have a tremendous amount of Add-ons out there, all free. |

Although it's an old topic, there's even an older 'boatsim', Ports of Call! I remember playing one of the first versions in... could be 1990. And it's still around! www.portsofcall.de/Theo  |
