My new favorite product for totally wasting your life. This makes Flight Sim junkies look sane. Though the more I look at it, the more I think, that might be fun for about 30 minutes...if it was free or cheap....UGH! But $22 to simulate that lol

Holy *BLEEP*!

You've got to be kidding me....a BUS simulator?

I wonder if it simulates the bus system like here in LA? They're always getting crashed into by cars, trucks....and OTHER BUSSES!

I also have Train Simulator and anxiously await TS2...which appears to always start production but never finishes

I have TS1 and Trainz 2005 or 2006, I forget. I bought a ship sim way back but haven't played it. The new Ship Sim is up my alley, haul a container ship from one port to another....oh yeah. If I couldn't be an airline pilot I would have wanted to be a ship captain, although I'm afraid of water. But then again, I'm afraid of heights...go figure. I would also like to be a train engineer or police officer

I've thought about this stuff before and this post really confirms what I have felt. Many of us are really transportation enthusiasts with an emphasis on aviation, not just aviation enthusiasts.

I can't wait for the new Ship Sim to be released in English but I don't know if those plans are in the works or not.

Should Globe Cargo VA also include a ship and train virtual routes?

Justin, a long time ago Darryl Gates put out a game called PoliceQuest. It was an investigation game that indeed tried your mind and abilities. It was really funny, there was a part where this little asian female LAPD officer was the "property clerk" and you had to go see her to see if your evidence had yet been processed by the lab. Anyhow, if you accidently touched her she would warn you about sexual harrassment, then a second time delivered an even more stern warning. Finally if you touched her a third time, yours screen would go red and you would be terminated and lose your pension! LOL

I was fired many times!

LOL, I'm sure my RL bank manager or utility vendors wouldn't accept the virtual money.

On the subject of the bus, I wonder if it is open for mods? If so you can bet there will be websites popping up with liveries, new models, routes, etc etc etc.
Think I'll stick with my GE CF6 powered bus for now.
