Microsoft Train Simulator 2: National Train Show Booth Video

Microsoft Train Simulator 2

We thought you might enjoy watching this video we created to show in our booth at the 2008 National Train Show in July.

The video shows current art renders and screenshots, a few snippets from the prototype video we released back in February 2008, and photos and video from our many research trips. The spherical video images shown at the intro and transitions are from the Ladybug camera mounted on the nose of our research locomotive heading from Wenatchee to Everett, WA, along our Stevens Pass route.

There is no audio for this video, because we knew the booth would be plenty loud with the rumbling of the SD40-2 we were demoing on six machines.

The video runs about 6 minutes. We're providing a high-resolution video---the same one we showed full-screen on our 19" monitors at the show. The file size is large, but we decided the tradeoff was worth it to show you the images in high quality.

NIce. I wish it was released though. It looks so much like trainz 2009 or 2010.

@phildoethedildoe Thats not news, microsoft announced they closed ACEs studio in 2008 to make more "live" games... because the world needs more crappy social games.

New NEWS: Microsoft has decided to completely step away from the RAILROAD world, guess they seemed to have something huge and like their company, dropped the ball and could not find the reason to get back at it and release it for the public.
