Train Simulator Hisatsu Line Japan Start Demo MS 2001

3D PC graphics demo (rolling) from 2001 by Microsoft Scene from Introductory Train Ride Route Hisatsu Line, Kyushu Island Japan (Start in Yoshimatsu, locomotive KIHA 31) Original highest settings and resolution 1600 x 1200 Pixel The route includes an Audio Tour High quality encoding for use with big screens Authentic with loading / menu screens (DirectX 7. 0a, made by Kuju. In Train Simulator, Microsoft has created a realistic simulation of the iron horse--one that can hold its head high next to its racing and flying peers. Train Simulator does a superb job bringing the unique sights of the railroads to life. With variable weather and time settings, you'll see trains streak through the night and pass through snow flurries or rain. Each train is carefully and pleasingly detailed. External animated parts add to the authenticity: the pantograph, which draws power from overhead lines to the electric trains, extends and retracts, and the intricate driver rods on the steam locomotives pump in elaborate patterns. And steam and smoke will drift backward in the wind as you pick up speed. The countryside and trackside buildings provide plenty of detailed, memorable scenery, from deer crossing the tracks to tiny churches high in the Alps. Most impressively, mountains actually look to scale, which is a rare feat in games. The Alps really do seem to dwarf your train (GameSpot))
