MS Train Simulator, one of the simulators of rail conduction of reference all over the world. The game comes with 6 real world lines created again to the detail (2 Americans, 1 Austrian, 1 English and 2 Japanese), as well as the trains that runs on it. It has excellent graphs and a good sound quality. The activities are simulated to the smallest detail, plenty of realism: from maneuvers with freight wagons to the execution of schedules in passengers service. For a better simulation, we advice the accessory called RailDriver Controller. We still sorry not to exist an option of Multi-player on-line and also that the game is limited to onde single motive power units by each activity... (That's why I just consider MSTS a machinist/train driver simulator). However, it was already announced a sequel (MSTS2) expected since months, but that unhappily failed and it would come already canceled in 2004... The Portuguese community, didn't lower the arms and it continues in front of producing Portuguese models for the game, proving that the simulator came to stay. It is described below a full list/compilation of the whole Portuguese material (for MSTS) available in the Internet, produced by friends and collaborators, be of CP Virtual or independent/amateur. Note: due to the fact of existing the same model with different versions and/or published in more than a server, they were just considered the more recent/updated models, or that allow an easier installation.
