At the time it was released, Microsoft Train Simulator was something new. Microsoft struck gold with their flight simulator series and they were hoping to do the same with thing trains. There have been a few different train sims over the years, but back in 2001 when this was originally released this was a fresh and new idea in the world of gaming.
All Aboard
I am trying to think about what the actual point of the game is. There is no what you could call a campaign here. Instead, you are tasked with doing various missions/things while you are in control of the trains. This can be coming to a stop at the right time, getting from a to b, or just hauling some freight. Trying to get the best rank on each one is what you are working towards.
Clearly, Microsoft Train Simulator is a game that is aimed at people who are train enthusiasts. I am not knocking those folks at all, but it is something I have not ever been interested in so to be fair I am sure much of the appeal of what makes this great is lost on me.

Traveling Around The World
There are a decent number of routes in the game and from the research my ignorant self did, people who are into this kind of thing seem to be happy with the level of authenticity that some of these routes have. You have routes in Japan, the USA, and the UK. I found the routes in Japan to be much more interesting and it was kind of fun to see the world go by as you were in control of one of these massing machines.You have many different trains available and from what I understand some are more accurate than others. Microsoft Train Simulator for me as someone who knows nothing about trains does have a very decent selection to drive. If you look around online, there is a dedicated community to this game that has made all kinds of interesting content. I feel if you get into the game you need to embrace that.
What Does That Button Do?
I know that simulator is in the title, but this was way harder than I thought it would be. You have a lot to take in and just keeping the train on the tracks is harder than you would think. Although, I will say when you do derail it is pretty fun and awesome. I wish the game had more personality, like actually being able to see people get on and off the train for example. The whole game has a very barebones kind of feel to it and for someone like me, I needed a bit of pizzazz to really get me invested.One thing I was shocked was so hard was stopping the train! This requires way more skill than you would think and it is not just a case of slamming on the breaks at the right time.
I must admit that Microsoft Train Simulator is not a game for me. You could write what I know about trains of the back of a postage stamp so I am clearly not the right audience for this game. Still, with that being said I do feel that there is a lot of content here. I did like driving the train through Japan and when I would nail a stop just right I felt pretty damn proud of myself.
Final Score
- If I were to install Open Rails on my computer that has NO MSTS folders or files, with no MSTS engine installed, will Open Rails work (within its limits)? However, Open Rail will have limited capabilities because the program relies on MSTS content for the time being.

What is TSRE5
TSRE5 is Game Engine compatible with MSTS and OR.
TSRE stands for Train Sim Route Explorer, name I gave my 'university homework'.
5 is 5th version of this engine.
Currently you can use:
- Route Editor
- Consist Editor
[user guide below - work in progress]
How to download
1. Go to All downloads and download newset ZIP file.
2. Unzip this ZIP file.
3. Run TSRE5.exe if you have 64 bit windows or TSRE5x32.exe if you have 32 bit.
You can apply an update if there is EXE file with higher number than ZIP file.
1. Download EXE and replace TSRE5.exe with it.
2. Updates are only for 64 bit versions.
To make TSRE5 work, you need to have some data (Root Dir) on your computer.
It might be:
- MSTS root directory
- OR installation profile
- Mini Route directory
- Any other Directory that has 'global', 'routes' and 'trains' directories inside.
In the future I will include basic 'installation profile'.
--------------------------------
You can also download Linux native version.
Linux version is only 64 bit.
Linux version requires, all your files and directories in Root Dir have only lovercase names.
It is because bad quality of most msts addons. For example in .s file is TEXTURE.ACE, but on disk is Texture.ACE. To fix this issue my program always looks for lowercase names.
Example script for change all filenames lowercase: (require run several times).
rename 's!/([^/]*/?)$!L/$1!' **/*
