Hmm, i just wondered, because... well... i applied to be a Beta tester for it, and if i did, i would post as much about it as i would be allowed, i would not however say what the Default UK route is, because that would just spoil it

Hmmm uve never been involved in any serious development project im guessing. have u heard of an NDA? [Non-Disclosure Agreement]

Basically ur allowed to say nothing at all..........

In posting that if u were a Beta Tester ud keep the public informed of anything u could, uve instantly thrown away any chances ud have of being one......

Keeping the public informed of progress is upto Public Relations, and people who work in PR where progress of somehting new is concerned, have the same ability as Goverment Figures. They are able to say loads about nothing, and keep anything worth hearing to themselves.

I was going to pre-order it, but was advised not to by someone...

I'll pre-order it when I see it. I don't know how to even apply for beta testing, otherwise I would have by now!

I only hope it's worth it when it finally arrives!

How come? Did they indicate a turn around or response time?

I'll wait.

By the time it appears I may qualify for a pensioners discount.

I did consider a MS request for beta testers but further research showed you had to live within a 30 minute drive of Seattle, Washington State. sort of ruled me out.

No wonder they can't get British stuff right.

I'd be surprised if many of their beta testers have ever seen a British train.

At least working for Microsoft has some good side then...Apart from the pay of course...Americans seeing for the first time a HST from merry ol' England...That would be interesting...

HSTs, got to be the best thing BR ever did!

I have heard from a reliable source that the the day that MSTS2 is launched, that well known train enthusiast Buck Rogers will be personally signing copies.

But "Michael Palin in the 25th Century" dosen't quite have the same ring about it.
