I am new here but am very interested in this update you describe esp >...the German Trains..

I am a long time modder and researcher of Train sims and esp German trains and would be very interested to see these and happy to help with any additional information or resources you may need....thanks so much for taking the time for this. If you are placing the models into France as I suspect you are, much of the equipment was French, and that is a particular area of interest and again expertise of mine if I can help ..and I have contacts in the French train sim world and we may indeed be able to get you permission to convert existing train models from 3D formats used in MS Train sim. Just wanted to offer aide on this little corner of things, I am still just new here and learning the ropes but would be happy to help if i can.

L'Etoile De Gray - a great MSTS route from France in 1938 some of the common French equipment...

Those trains are wicked cool! Every little bit they add is just another brush stroke to what is already a very diverse landscape. Having simers like ChrisGer is only going make it better!

U know u can do that now, right?

And it does look cool.

QMB
-->Axis attack mission (the one that starts you a few miles off manston)
-->select 110
-->fly on original heading until you see Manston airbase, then make a bit of a left turn to skirt the airfield boundaries, you'll see some vehicles
-->keep going a bit more, you'll see a railway line among two tree lines
-->train!

Have fun

Hi CrisGer, one of the other forum members here, 'Foo'bar', made some of the trains for Cliffs of Dover. IIRC he did the German one's we haven't seen yet.

Here are some earlier examples of his work - http://fooblog.mexxoft.com/category/...ilway/engines/

There were also examples of his work for Cliffs Of Dover shown in the develoment updates before the game was released.

I have no idea if he's still working on things for Cliffs of Dover, but maybe you could contact him and ask if there's any way you can help bring more trains into the game.

Just an idea.

Edit - Interesting coincidence, Foo'bar is quoted in the post just above this one. If you click on the arrow it will take you to a post by him, where you can see one of his trains used as a sig pic.

Has anyone seen any pics or hints of aeroplanes coming up? For example a 109 F-4 or witch theater is next and how long of a wait will it be? I'm pretty sure it's the Mediterranean.

It was revealed on VE day that the next theatre will be Operation Barbarossa. Sneak-peek pictures of an IL-2 Sturmnovik and the Kremlin were shown.
