What you always wanted to see for MSTS

Post by abirm873 »

Hi everyone
With the sim being 8 years old now we have witnessed many addons and wonderful content produced. However sadly there has been stuff which the sim has been crying out for which sadly has never got made.
I was just wondering what people had always wanted to see be made for MSTS e.g. I always wanted to see a modern Cambrian Coast route created from Birmingham New Street/Aberystwyth and Pwllheli and also the Heart Of Wales line would have been great.
What are your suggestions? What would you give anything for to see in MSTS
Cheers Ashley

A deep line Underground route but done so you could view the action from outside the train - i.e. as a cutaway so yuo could see back into the rail tunnels and station passageways - many many years ago I did a very small mockup and the possibilities looked really good - I still think it would work

One of my favorite and interesting routes, Woodhead, would love to see it updated with the tools that are available now.

Inverness - Kyle of Lochalsh.
Ft. William - Malliag.

They are 2 terrific routes in real life.

Definitely the working turntable - would add a lot to most existing routes, and save activities having to be split into two where the loco has been miraculously turned round between the end of the first and the start of the second....

Nice thought Jon personally would have liked to see a pop out version of the driver aids :) and the control action message absent

Woodhead updated - It would have been I just wish the Great Central had made it and would have loved to see Stoke Division have made it the WIP Screenies were amazing
