Excited from Miami,FL

I look forward to Kuju's Simulator and hurry-up :-)

Like the Berlin Subway product...more subways.
Would love to see working industrys where we can load coal,sand or whatever on and off trains.

Thanks

Yes, Doug, MSTS, TRS-2004 and BVE rolled into one with better graphics, route editor and other improvements still lacking in all train sims will do ! :7

I think it will be a nightmare for Kuju to deal with the people on this forum.

The user with 128MB of RAM wanting supercomputer performance

The user with Win95 complaining about the sim cache speeds.

The user complaining about not being able to exactly create the physics on some one-of-a-kind loco on an obscure short line.

The user who refuses to defragment his hard disk but complains about sim crashes.

The advocates of other sims trying to convince everyone that their favorite sim is perfect.

I wish Kuju luck.

Ahhh... what are you implying ? A little siding where you pull under a machine that loads coal/sand is not heavy-duty physics. Get off your high-horse.... If there not interested in doing the Industry-thing than they will not do it....

Personally if this sim delivers, then it will be WORTH upgrading a computer for it. But as you said it will still have to please alot of people, and many people are used to MSTS and may stick with MSTS if it doesn't deliver, or at least head in that direction.

Having the ability to scale back features in an options menu like MSTS is a good idea too. Personally if the operations are realistic enough, I'm willing to drop the sliders a bit to get the thing to work for now.

<<A little siding where you pull under a machine that loads coal/sand is not heavy-duty physics.>>

MSTS was originally supposed to allow covered hopper loading but it did not work. Obviously it is not heavy-duty physics. I just did not lose sleep over the feature not being available and trash the sim the way I remember alot of users on this forum doing. The software only cost about $40 and you would have thought it cost $1000 when there was some minor feature missing.

I also remember a guy from Microsoft volunteering to help us with various issues and suffering ridiculous verbal abuse.


<<high horse>>
If anything my horse is low, since I would be happy if Kuju recompiled the original MSTS to work on the new Vista OS.(I know they can't because of licensing issues)

And don't get me started about users comparing the performance of a sim that models a full 3-D world to a 1st person shooter game like Doom which only has to model one room at a time and probably has little or no physics.
