FSX and Trains

[Flying Trucker]

Good morning all...

Well the old girl is getting ready to go and get saved again...

She is so bad through the week that she goes every Sunday to get saved...

Not me, I am a perfect, wonderful gentleman who goes three time a year and stays for the treats after the sermon...          

Now I started working on my third part to my flying camping trip this morning and the old grey matter started to roll around.

With the below installed:
-Ground Environment X...USA CANADA ALASKA
-Ultimate Terrain X...CANADA
-REX2...Essential
-ORBX Scenery...Pacific Fjords
                      ...Pacific Northwest
-FSX & Acceleration

I see all kinds of cars, trucks, buses and boats but never ever a train of any kind.
I see the rail road tracks okay.

Was just wondering if trains do show up in FSX.

Funny, I never gave this a thought. I don't believe that

Good morning Paul...

As I mentioned to jime in the above post it would be nice to see some trains moving in the next Microsoft Flight Simulator Game.

I am wondering, if we see buses and large trucks moving on the highways how hard would it be for someone to add a couple of moving trains in FSX.

The Scenery "tracks" are already there so could a program  be made to add a few trains without a great deal of problems for FSX.

Not a computer person by any means but would it not be the same as developing an aircraft or boat for FSX?

Just a thought on my part Paul....

It can be done 8-)

OrbX's Monroe Firstair (W16) has an animated train in it...........and stock cars that race around the oval track 8-) 8-)
