BVE: A Intresting Snail mail

[Downunder Tom]

I recieved a intresting newsletter from one of my train book suppliers, It was about the updated version of MS trains. It says that it now has 2 new locos and7 new pieces of rolling stock and is now cheaper than it was, maybe these free simulators are getting to them.

Just for intrest, what is everybody's 2nd choice for a train simulator and why i.e. outside views, bein able to sut ect.

I dont personally own a second trainsim. Just BVE! There is no need to splash out pounds on train sims, when the best is just a click away!

MSTS is my second choice. I was unfortunate in that I discovered BVE only days after buying MSTS. MSTS isn't even on my hard disk anymore.

I play MSTS quite a bit too, but BVE still rules supreme! MSTS had an update with a Hoover and an american thing about a year ago, I think thats what their on about.

I use another free trainsim alot: Loksim 3d.

Loksim 3d is a german trainsimulator wich can be downloaded at www.loksim3d.de. It is a very good and realistic game, everything a traindriver has to deal with in real life, you have to do in Loksim. It's in fullscreen to, BVE screen is cut in half by stationnames and ATC etc. The only thing that's not (yet) that good are the driving physics. Your train has no shockbreakers, you just slide over the tracks, also on switches.

What I'm trying to say in very bad English is that Loksim 3d is a nice second on graphics and physics. But it is an absolutely number one in realistic engineering of a train.

Hi Tom,

If there is anyone who is actually looking forward to MSTS II then don't hold your breath.

Latest news has it that the British developer Kujo has pulled out of the project.

That's the only good thing.
