Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Microsoft Train Simulator (abbreviated as MSTS) is a train simulator for Microsoft Windows, released in July 2001 and developed by UK based Kuju Entertainment, and is available for purchase through Amazon.com.The game revolves around driving trains on rendered places called routes. Six routes are included, with two in Japan, two in the United States, and the rest being set in the UK and Austria. These routes range from European steam railways, the Odakyu Electric Railway in Tokyo, the BNSF Railway's Northern Transcon route over Marias Pass, and Amtrak's Northeast Corridor between Philadelphia and Washington DC. (There is a seventh route designated for tutorials) The player may drive trains freely from a starting point, or run activities such as driving and stopping a passenger train or shunting/switching freight cars.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Users may create or download custom trains, routes, and activities for the game, not to mention the many modifications that fix bugs and therefore helped increase the game's lifespan. The game was popular in the Rail Enthusiast community, although it is out-of-print, graphically outdated, has compatibility issues on newer P Cs, and has been succeeded by newer train simulators sold on digital storefronts that are much more convenient to install, which have led to a decline of the MSTS player-base aside from a thriving community based in India.Fortunately, MSTS has been gradually supplanted by an open source train simulator called Open Rails, which can run MSTS content as well as advanced features and content that are not compatible with MSTS. The working efforts of the Open Rails team and devoted addon developers are perhaps the best hopes for MSTS to stay relevant.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })There was a Microsoft Train Simulator 2 which got canceled twice, in 2004 and in 2009.The game has a commercial Spiritual Successor of some sort, sporting the different names Rail Simulator / Rail Works / Train Simulator 20XX. Rail Simulator was also developed by Kuju, but starting with its successor Railworks it's developed by a new company that later evolved into the simulator-focused Dovetail Games, which also re-released Microsoft Flight Simulator X on Steam.This Video Game contains examples of: | |
