Re: BVE Railway Simulator

Downloaded and tested this Simulator aa week ago.
The scenery, sound, texture and mode are excellent!

The first time I used it I had trouble trying to get the train going
for an hour!

But one thing I have problems with is when I'm at the speed limit and
passing the second station along the route, I just.......STOP and the
train freezes there!
Haven't got this fixed ever since!


Anywayz I suggest we all try this sim as it is freeware and the quality
of it will make us dribble !

P.S. The people who made the sim. seem to dislike a Japanese
Playstation Train Simulator called Denysa Na Go or something.
P.P.P.S.  I also tried alot of other simulators from Vern including a
signal box simulator of North Strathfield!
