Got to mention this although it's produced no reaction so far.

THE BUSINESS!!!!

Even if it's all US, this is definately one to watch

It moves away from MSTS. Multiplayer will be very popular.

The default might be US but that can probably be remedied

I am truly impressd with the video. I only downloaded the Dash 9 but it looks superb. If this product actually makes it onto the market we will truly have something to rave about.
Let's keep our fingers crossed that everything goes to plan.

PS Wait for another announcement from 'elsewhere' as they tend to come close together

That could be because they are working close together...

Hi, I don't wish to poo-poo anything but the date on the site is May 25th. As far as I can see nothing has changed, from when the site was first brought to our attention. Am I missing something ? (No rude comments please !)

We're now informed that we could be looking Train Artisan and Trainmaster as two closely co-operating commercial groups.

Even better

If that includes Auran as well, my cup overfloweth

Misinterpretation of words John - I speculated that they could be, not that it could be because they are!

Who's Auran?

Three words.... Virtaul Rail Company

I can see, that just like Flight Simulator has VA's, there will be VR companies, and with this multiplayer, it will be superb. Seeing the other drives doing there duties up and down the line.

But i suppose we will have to wait and see wha the total possabilities will be!

It truely is awesome to look at. the detail is immense. But because of this im also worried.

Are we still feeling ripples of 9/11 when it comes to simulating real life operations? will companies be reluctant to allow certain things to be produced in such a realistic way. Remembering that only once people saw how different MSTS controls were to real trains did they allow us to contine with modern stock and liverys.

I'm not and never have

That would be allowing media hysteria to influence commercial judgement.

To quote those immortal words:

BRING IT OOOOOOOONNNN!!!!

Doesnt seem to stop Flight Simulator..

Im guessing it wouldnt trains either. To be honest i never even thought about it that way.
