That sounds like a job with the railway.
What about a version of trainz where you control a person and move them around a virtual world and drive trains, trams etc.
Perhaps with buildings you can walk into and trains,trams,cars you can drive and excluding cars, catch (not literally
).
Sort of a virtual world like Habbo, There, Second life etc. crossed with Trainz. Maybe with other users on the same map.
I talk too much thanks for listening.

railworks , trainz and msts mixed would be the best sim on the market
The best simulator to me would be all the fun stuff in Trainz, combined with the graphics of Railworks, some of the stuff of games like Second Life, etc, and Microsoft Train Simulator.
I know its physically impossible now, but at least I can imagine it.

Hey, who put a "STOP PAYMENT" on my reality check?
"Trainz's AI and surveyor, MSTS physics and train handling with RS/RW's graphics", Sparky always has the right voltage.
"Some thing That would work right out of the box,Auran has not done that yet"
I'm a newby to Trainz, but that's my first impression, 90% of the stuff I download don't work from the start. My son has a computer that's identical to mine except he has a newer better video card, and I can't get TRS2010 to run on his at all, it crashes as soon as any session starts loading no matter what settings I try. It runs other video games just fine, in most cases a lot better than mine does. On my system TRS2010 crashes fairly often, and when it doesn't I get that black screen for a few seconds, or jump back to desktop with the smaller black screen showing, whenever starting a session and sometimes when jumping engines. Tried all the tips about resetting the aspect ratio from autodetect to a specific ratio but that's worse, it freezes the screen. Even with all the sliders turned down to minimum I get barely playable framerates on any route that has speedtrees.
Content Manager needs some serious work, either some type of automatic fixerupper or something that gives you a vague hint about what to DO about error messages instead of leaving you to figure it out yourself. Download helper isn't usually reliable either, "Hey, I got MOST of the dependencies automatically, just left one or two on the download station to give you something to fix!" :hehe:
Just today made my first attempt at adjusting physics in Trainz, the default C-41 seems to have way too much power - 30 cars up a 2.5% grade should leave it gasping, and it motors on up without breaking a sweat. So I cloned the c-41 engine spec file and cut the power and adhesion in half, see what that does. I don't know what it does, half the controls on the Raildriver quit working. An hour of tinkering showed that an exact clone of the original, even without changing any of the numbers inside, makes the throttle and reverser on the Raildriver non responsive. Cause and effect dunno, but after committing the blasted thing I try it in game, then go back to Content Manager and it's "open for edit" again. Double checked by re-opening Content manager to make sure the "open for edit" icon is gone, somehow running the engine in the game opens the blasted thing up again.
Anyway that's all the bad I've noticed so far, the graphics are pretty good altho the animation is pretty bad (main thing that stopped me buying TRS2004 was seeing a demo on a 1.5ghz system, state of the art in 2003, with ridiculously heavy stuttering), sounds are the best I've heard in any of the Big Three. I developed routes and did repaints for MSTS for six years, Railsim/Railworks for two years, and so far I like Trainz better than either.

My Ultimate Simulator would be .... too expensive for me to afford.
