FSX and Trains

Postby Flying Trucker » Sun Aug 26, 2012 7:56 am

Good morning all... :)

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

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

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

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.    :)
Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

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.... ;)
