When you do that, most people either think of Pac Man or Mario, or a situation where you’re wandering around with a rocket launcher blowing stuff up.

Trainz is a railway simulation package, or a modelling package if you prefer. Just because it costs less than £20 and can be found in the “games” section of the shop doesn’t mean it’s any less serious than the more conventional alternatives.

Awesome. To tell you the truth, I didn’t think I’d get a response (no offense…I figured you guys are busy). That’d be great though.

I remember it being mentioned and I’ve been following this blog ever since.

You can view examples via the Game Engines link on the blog and you can order it via the Recommened Reading/Hardware link.

Frank – we are increasingly have to call things other names – eg we dont mention the word Planning too much but instead use ‘urban visualisation’…

I can only imagine those in the train transport industry would be horrified by the idea of using gaming technology for their business. Your suggestion of calling it something else would have probably worked better.

That was a cool video.

Are there affordable ones that are worth the time. What about programming knowledge? What would one need to add objects to a gaming environment and create some sort of executable?
