How can I alter a train to go 500000mph

Edit the .eng file.

Alternatively, you can download the 9 car Meridian that I created, that got up to a realtivly realistic 250mph not bad and MUST be a record for a DMU hehe

[Pantograph]

If you go above 2500-3000mph your computer won't be able to render the scenery so you'll be flying with white all around.

If you go above 2500-3000mph your computer won't be able to render the scenery so you'll be flying with white all around.

As well as it not being particularly realistic

My SANTA-FE HST which can do up to 2000 mph is great for testing the tracks of long routes like my 900 miles GOLD-SPIKE route I am working on, the AMD 64-BIT X2, an ATI card and WD SATA Raptors coping well with those speeds !

Ok, Otto...
Is that x2 a ?????+. I am seriously thinking for replacing my current 64 3200+ with an x2.

It's an AMD 64-BIT Dual Core 4800+, but a faster 512 Mb RAM graphics card like an ATI X1900XT and fast hard disks like the 10000 rpm WD Sata Raptors do more for improving graphics performance in MSTS, which needs to access the hard drive a lot.

You can go pretty fast on the Maglev addon, somthing in the area of 500mph without editing the ENG. files, but the problem was stopping

If you want a fast outfit, download Burro.zip from train-sim.

Change the first few lines of the Engine parameters in burro.eng to:

Engine ( Burro
Wagon ( Burro )
Type ( Diesel )
MaxPower ( 6000hp )
MaxForce ( 6000kN )
MaxContinuousForce ( 6000kN )
MaxVelocity ( 10000mph )
MaxCurrent ( 200A )


Then get a tissue handy......and prepare to cry...........

Try the JV1 jet test train by Chris Longhurst for some extremely fast fun.

Thanks for that heads-up !

The last time I talked to Chris he was saying that he is working on rolling stock for KRS and did not realize that this MSTS rolling stock web site is still alive !

This is the one I had anticipated, but I dont know why, when I try to download it, I get left with http://www.christrains.nl/ and no download takes place, is there an alternative way to do this


Also, I remember seeing an .eng file breakdown somewhere, can remember where and googling and UKTS search bring up nothing. Any ideas where that is....

Having just been to Amsterdam I was interested to look up Chris's site and my old link wouldn't work. This link works but when I click on the downloads I get a screen with a clock and a column of boxes with little red crosses in. Is the download fetaure still working? It might be my security level but it works for 95% of sites?
