In Train Simulator 2 you’re at the controls of some of the most powerful machines ever built: from an ultra-modern high-speed intercity electric trainset, to a lash-up of diesels hauling intermodal freight, to a coal-fired steam locomotive.
As Real As It Gets™ĭetailed 3-D cabs, locomotives, and rolling stock, with real-world physics, functioning signals and switches, next-generation graphics, and 5.1 Surround Sound all provide a highly realistic experience. With more than 25 years of experience developing best-in-class simulations (including the best-selling Flight Simulator series), Microsoft Aces Studio is proud to announce the most realistic railroading experience ever made for the PC: Train Simulator 2. The web site also has lots of details about what is going on in the design of the new sim. Microsoft's Train Simulator web site has now reveleaded that Train Simulator 2 is scheduled for release during the 2009 holiday season. Train Simulator 2 is scheduled for release this fall. Train Simulator 2 also adds dynamic weather and richer environments filled with people, vehicles, and roaming animals. The new routes will let players turn back the clock and control trains on the Pennsylvania Railroad's Horseshoe Curve in 1946 or go for high-speed runs through Germany on the Deutsche Bahn AG. The new game adds five new highly detailed routes and will let players control a variety of trains, from 200-ton modern diesel locomotives to historical steam engines. Users also will find it easy to add content from third-party sources and import content from "Microsoft Train Simulator v1.0." Updates on the latest railroad features will be available online to enhance gameplay.Microsoft Game Studios has announced Train Simulator 2, the sequel to Microsoft's realistic railroading simulation from 2001, Train Simulator. "Microsoft Train Simulator 2" allows users to customize and expand their experience by creating new trains, routes, scenery and challenges that suit their specific interests.
Alternatively, users can sit back and enjoy many of the routes in the role of a passenger as the train rolls down the tracks. Operational events unique to each route allow virtual engineers to choose from a variety of activities such as operating a passenger train on a strict timetable or keeping a heavy steam-powered freight train running at peak efficiency. Vivid sound effects bring to life the rumble of a powerful modern diesel as it lugs a long coal train and the distinctive sounds of high-speed electric locomotives as they operate over famous routes in Europe. Virtual engineers can take charge of one of 13 fully interactive 3-D cabs complete with accurate, fully functional gauges and working controls, including, for the first time, U.S. A new dynamic weather effect adds an additional layer of realism. Virtual engineers look out of their locomotive to see people in the stations and on the streets, cars moving about, and animals roaming the countryside. Railroads in "Microsoft Train Simulator 2" run through a dynamic environment, immersing conductors in a virtual world. "Microsoft Train Simulator 2" allows virtual engineers to relive the golden age of steam by taking trains around the historic Horseshoe Curve on the Pennsylvania Railroad circa 1946, or on a high-speed run through Germany on the world-famous Deutsche Bahn AG. Five new, highly detailed routes from around the world. Her er noen nøkkelopplysninger fra produsenten selv: Vi kommer tilbake med en gang vi vet noe mer om Microsoft Train Simulator 2. Dessverre har vi ikke fått all verden av opplysninger og heller ikke vet vi når dette togsimulator-spillet vil bli lansert. Rutene strekker seg fra å ligge i Nord-Amerika til Europa kombinert med de rette miljøene du finner på de forskjellige rutene. I tillegg vil det støtte DirectX 10 grafikk og bruk av 5.1 Surround-system for å gi spilleren en optimal opplevelse. Detaljert lokomotiver, vogner samt en realistisk fysikk er noe av de vi blir lovt i spillet. Train Simulator 2 vil bli utviklet og modullert etter alle kunstens regler fra tog og jernbaner vi kjenner i dag med bruk av en meget spesiell grafikkmotor som gir en realistisk gjenvisning.Įn kraftfull editor vil gi spillerne selv muligheten til å lage sine egne baner, tog m.m.
