train sim questions

hi, i am thinking about getting into the train sim world. i don't know if i should get the microsoft train simulator or the trainz simulator 2006. also where would i get addons for the sim? i mean a place like avsim but train addons. thanks

Avsim does have some addons.

Take a look at this website too http://www.train-sim.com/

If you are more interested in realism, then Microsoft Train Simulator would be the way to go.

However, if you want to design your own routes, and have a better selection of trains then go with Auran Tain Simulator 2006.

i used to have that game but the graphicz are terrible

Well,i have mstsand i tested trainz and so:
if you want a more''serious''sim,get msts
If you want a more''game'' sim,get trainz.Trainz if a bit more fun,but you have more controls and more things to do in msts.

hey guys, I have train sim, i believe is train sim 2001, i dont know if there are any more after that, but it is pretty good. the graphics arent too good as in the post above, but it is pretty good. i dont drive them very much now, i am more interested in flight simulation now, but it is pretty fun. i would get it if i were interested in trains
