Very cool!
Maybe there will be some cool games like racing trains!
I would love a game that could simulate how great I feel when I walk in my sleeping car, sit down, and feel the train move for the first time!

LOL TRAIN RACING!!!!! hey wait a second, how can they share the track? The only way they can possibly race is to do drag racing with 2 track lanes :P lol or road course Train racing. Back back to the main topic, This game looks neat but also computer Power hungry, i'm figureing its useing the same 3D game engine as FlightSimulator2000 and that engine eats lots of Computer power. I'm a computer expert so if you guys got questions about this game working on your computer, feel free to ask me however this game is going to Eat lots of power from your computer so i'm guessing it will require at least 400mhz, i'm runing on a AMD Duron800 overclocked at 900mhz with a Winfast GeForce2 GTS 32mb DDR video card. What you will mainly need in order for this game to look just as good as it does in the screen shots is a good Video graphics card. However my guess is most of you have no idea what i'm talking about now. But chances are this game is going to need alot of power to work if any of you are interested in it. With those high resulation 128bit textures there is almost no chance you will be able to run it playable on a celleron or even the highest Pentium II. As for the video card, have at least a 32MB card or else the frame rate will be horrible and unbareable. Does anybody have questions about this working on your computer?
