Hello from South Somerset, hoping for some advice on a train sim for lines across Canada.

Gday all from down under.
I have been interested in the Great Western Railway from a child
The Hornby Catalogue with a Castle designed by CB Collett had a real fascination
The more I read about the history of the GWR and its history just fuelled the interest
I had a model railway as a child and took the interest into my adult life
I have a decent collection of GWR railway books and recently discovered Train Simulator 2016
The chance to have a large collection of stream locomotives and railway operation is impressive
I had the chance to see Pendennis Castle and Flying Scotsman in Perth and double head a train to Northam and back in 1988 what a experience
So Hello to all
Ken

Hello all from Asheville, NC USA
New train simmer longtime flight simmer. 51 years old, kid at heart, Army Combat vet.
Have been running Run8 for a couple of weeks now and love the  multiplayer aspect for prototypical
RR operations. Downloading TS 2010 right now for what looks to be awesome model railroading features. My grandfather and uncle both worked for SCL/CSX and grandpa and I had a pretty awesome layout many years ago. Looking forward to being able to do this on the PC and take up far less room! Anyway, enough of that, hello to all!
Kevin

Hi Reider

I've been into flight simming for many years however always been interested in railways ... just started train simming since I became aware of great improvements with the software to go along with improvements in hardware ... looking forward to seeing more routes opening up to explore and to visit areas I remember from my childhood ... thanks for the forum and for this opportunity to share our thoughts

Hi Zulnex and welcome, I too have JT products and their 'Advanced' range is top notch although you might find the JT forum undersubscribed. The Steam/Dovetail Games forum is more active and usually friendly with plenty of helpful advice. It's worth a look.

Hello everyone.

I have finally found some free time to register. I have been playing many simulators since 2004. MSTS was actually my first game which I have played.

I have a few addons from Just Trains and I am quite happy with my latest purchase - U Bahn Frankfurt.

I am very happy to be here and wish everyone all the best.

Well here goes. I have had a yearning to get into rail simming for some time now and as I have an APPLE Mac I purchased TRAINZ for Mac. Talk about involved. No instructions, poor forums, crook tutorials - mainly from smart b-----s who treated any enquiry as though you were a moron and in a nut shell disappointing. I have been Youtubing rail sims for a while now and and TS 2014 looks to be ok. Now a few questions if you will bear with me. Will it work on a MAC, What basics do I get for my money (UK/Aust xchange rate is lousy now Cry Can I get (download) various routes, rolling stock etc, are there instructions for all this, are there tutorials (I've found a couple which are great).
All in all, any help for starting off would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi people,

I train-sim for a long time and enjoy every minute of playing.

The classic German railroads are my favourite and i hope once to ride the famous Rheingold all the way down from Hoek van Holland to Basel in the S3/6.

Living in the mid-eastern of the Netherlands alongside the railtracks from Rotterdam to the Rhurgebiet.

Mostly TS 2014, but occasionaly MSTS as well

Thanks for accepting me in youre community

Hi guys

New here love train sims!!

Live in bradford originally from Liverpool.

I own TS2013 which I manage to run on a laptop without a dedicated graphics card but I a looking to update my pc so I can have a bigger screen.
Love the old steam trains but adore the French TGV but not seen a TGV in a train sim. Does anyone know of one?

Also what program do you use to design the assets? Be it, trains, platforms, stations etc?

Thanks
Mark

Hi all,
 
Just a quick hello to introduce myself. My name is Paul, (also known as 'Sarc').
 
I've been visiting these forums for many moons and really enjoy reading the various topics and posts. Although I actually joined the forum quite a while ago, I've never managed to find the time to post anything myself, until now, mainly due to work commitments and the fact that I've been working fully on a new route for 'Train Simulator 2012'.
 
Hope it's okay for a forum newbie to immediately post some screenshots ... (which are at: http://forum.justflight.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18706). They are of my completed route, 'Bishop Auckland to Darlington', which will soon be available from 'Just Trains'.
 
Cheers, and many thanks for such an excellent forum.
 
Sarc ... (aka Paul or Paulus)

Hi Simon and thank you, when I referred to including the information on the sleeve I meant on the sleeve of Voyager!
Nice to be with you all! Smile

Hi Bruce,
 
Upgrade Mk1 and Mk2 were released after the product had been released, so that's why they aren't detailed on the back of the box (otherwise they would have been included on the disc!). They fix and upgrade various issues, and for the Rail Simulator products that required them we have included the fixes on our add-on discs.
 
You'll soon get used to the braking distances, trains take a lot longer than something like a car - all part of the skill of driving a train, it's much more complex than "a to b" that a lot of people think :)
 
Good luck!
 
Simon

Hi all, I'm in Hertfordshire UK, I've been a rail enthusiast for many years and I thought how can I expand on this! I'm a newbie to Rail sims, just got RS(2007) for Vista and Voyager add-on. Did not realise that I would have to download the update to RW1&2 until after I had ripped out most of my hair!!!  Would have been helpful if this had been added to System requirements on the rear sleeve!  Anyway I've sussed it out now and I must say it's an excellent program and I'm well happy with the playing experience.  I have noticed however that the Voyagers seem to take for ever to come to a halt at stations, and I keep overrunning them, suppose that will come with practice.  Any way, it's nice to be here, and hello to everyone.
Bruce.

Hello, how are you? Small world, my sister lives just accross the river in Hythe!
Anyway, you do not NEED mk1 and mk2, but they are a great improvement. You must install mk1 before you install mk2. This is very important as mk2 needs mk1 in order to work. Glad you like railsim, good luck and happy driving.
Michael.

Hi, Im butting in here, but I have just bought Rail Sim which looks great. I cannot find any useful guides on how to use so presume the download file has to do. Also can I assume that I need the updates Mk1 & 2 and an ything else useful. Any help appreciated.

Hi,
You need nothing but your keyboard, all commands are keyboard based and there are three levels of driving skills, beginner, intermediate and advanced, each level taking you to a greater degree of realism and difficulty. There really is not a lot to it, the biggest thing is to set up your options properly at start up. Some versions of rail sim require you to set the language as English before you can make other adjustments. It is all fairly self explanatory.
Happy driving!
Best regards,
Michael

Hi Guys, I am new to the RailSimulator, although have been doing several other rail sims. Can anyone help me as to a question re operating the trains. Do I need a joy-stick or such?

I am a huge fan of TraiNZ as well as the 2D sims from Bahn 380. I also use the Rail3D free download as it is quite attentive to detail re routing.
