[Ausloco] NEW Train Simulator from Microsoft!

["Peter J. Sweetten" <aeropics@tig.com.au>]

Hey guys, I dont normally plug Microsoft products but just had to pass this
on!

Some HOT news!!! Found this on a newsletter from www.Flightsim.com

Microsoft announces TRAIN SIMULATOR (yeahoo!) Will it be the flightsim for
rail
fans? Sure looks like it. Visit
www.microsoft.com/games/trainsim/default.asp for more.

Just had a look at the screenshots, all I can say is we are in for an
AWESOME experience. It has everything - worldwide locations, realistic
scenery, weather effects (rain, snow, clouds and  sun),  stunning cab
interiors of steam, diesel and electric locos, external views from cab,
trackside and "spot plane" views. Not only can you drive the trains, but
also you can sit back as a passenger in fully rendered carriage interiors
and watch the scenery roll by!!!

Locos shown include "Flying Scotsman", BNSF Dash 9s and French TGV.

If it's anything like Flight Simulator, we can expect heaps of add-on
scenery, locos. sounds and situations.

Can't wait for it to go on sale downunder!
