Project Description

 

So what's this site about you may ask? A SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) add-on for the upcoming game Microsoft Train Simulator. SEPTA covers Philadelphia, the suburbs, and all the way out to Trenton, NJ. SEPTA uses everything from subway,to trolley, to elevated train. However, this will project will focus mainly on the larger part, the regional rail system.

The add-on will be totally free. This site will be updated whenever there is new news to report, screenshots have been added, etc. Speaking of which, the April issue of Computer Games has a short, but interesting nonetheless, preview of MSTS. In addition, there will be forums available for support, suggestions, or just any general comments.

I am also in the search for people who want to contribute: maps, modeling (of scenery, SEPTA cars, etc.) - just about anything. Any kind of contribution is well appreciated. Credit will be given where it is due. Just e-mail me, Pete, on the contacts page.

Currently, nothing has been started on the project. Actual development will not begin until more information is released about the editing tools, which, most likely, will be when the game is released. It would be a waste to spend time on something and then not be able to use it.
