Msts Open Source Models
There are a number of download sites for free software for MSTS.Ive had some luck with a few 'Good' copies of software but many are either missing files, corrupted or otherwise a problem getting to run on the MSTS. Ultimately I had to remove some due to spyware, adware and potential problems affecting the computer itself.It is my hope that they continue to make realistic video games allowing you to run a wide variety of trains. My one beef is that they dont focus well on North American Steam.The best software that I have used were not the free kind. For example there is a retail add-on called 'Sand Patch' for the MSTS. I think it was 15.00 at the game store but works very well with MSTS. Safety Valve wrote:Now if they can program a steam engine to respond to inputs more preciesely I would be happy.
Hate closing the throttle, nuetralizing the reverser and adding locomotive braking to hear the steamer chugging away at full power until the speed drops below the next rounded 10 mph.Now, I'm no expert on steam engines and I don't run them that much in MSTS, but on a steam loco the cylinders (the source of the 'chuff' sounds - they exaust steam through the stack) are connected directly to the driving wheels. This being the case one would not expect them to go silent once the throttle is backed off. The wheels are now driving the cylinders. The sound should, perhaps, change, but it should only decrease in frequency (cpm - chuffs per minute) in direct proportion to the speed (rpm) of the drivers. Of course the speed of the drivers (assuming they are not slipping) would be directly proportional to the speed of the loco/train.A diesel, which has no direct physical connection between the engine itself and the drivers (unless it is something like a Kraus-Maffi), will respond more directly to throttle inputs.-George. Here is a video I have saved in my favorites on Youtube.This video is a little long but shows the steam engine stopping in relative peace and quiet sitting there boiling and cleaning before starting up again applying power with stack talk to match on what is a heavy load on a little engine.It also has been my experience on steam tourist lines such as Strasburg that once the engine gets the train up to road speed (20 mph or so if that.) the stack talk diminishes greatly with just enough 'Effort' to maintain cruise. Should the engine be backing to connect to the train after watering, it is virtually silent not CHUG CHUGG CHUGG at full power.
How would I go about putting some old MSTS freeware items, such as locomotives, routes and rolling stock into the game and actually getting the game open to run them. Also, I haven't been able to find my old MSTS disk so I'm having to try to play the game without it, but so far I can't even get past the menu.
That would scare the people.I think the problem is the coding inside the game software to exhibit sound behavior acording to what the operator is doing.

The freeware add-ons have really left the original far behind. People have had 6+ years now to figure out better ways to do things with the program.My RailDriver has just lost its voice and the tinny sound from my speakers is very frustrating.
Sharing In Open RailsIf we look beyond the Open Rails Development Team, who do we find?Firstly, there are the people who have invested countless hours in developing and sharing more capable and more realistic models.They frequent the forums listed opposite and may have published many files of content. They've probablychosen Microsoft Train Simulator because it is more satisfying than its rivals. But Microsoft Train Simulator is a dead end and this band of enthusiasts have been hoping that Open Railsmight give their interest a new lease of life; one that is potentially unlimited.Then there are others who perhaps have come more recently to the hobby. It's a long time since 2001 and they find Microsoft Train Simulator unreliable and awkwardcompared to modern products.
But Open Rails is robust, shows much promise and its open nature is more appealing than commercial products, so they follow its progress on the forums.We have commentators on the whole train simulator world, such as Nicholas Ozorak's video library At The Railyard. For his independent opinion, watch.Finally we have the experts who collaborate to produce quality models for sale - for more, see.
