Train Sim 2013 free add-ons

[GodAtum]

Been looking at free add-ons but most of them require loads of payware add-ons! That means a free add-on actually costs at least £100 to get running

uktrainsim.com is a good place to get started, yes there are plenty of files that require payware in order to work, however there is quite a bit that does not. And for a bit of nostalgia there is mountains of stuff for MSTS.

What exactly are you looking for? Might be able to narrow things down a bit with some guidance.

The london Waterloo - Portsmouth route, Paddington - Taunton, and London Bridge - East Croydon.

Theres payware for a SWT Portsmouth route but that only goes up to Woking? The FGW payware looks nice but i dont think it's all one line?

 

[Stigy]

Are these routes that are made by others? I'm a bit ignorant here....

This is one of the major reasons I haven't made the switch from MSTS. As there is still not enough freeware available for the newer simulations and also some MSTS users might be aware that "OpenRails" is a great upgrade from MSTS (Microsoft Train Simulator) as it uses the Graphics Card to render the "game" rather than straight off the CPU and its free to use as well .

I must confess, even the latest version of OR is starting to grow on me a bit. Once they get past version 1, and work on the activity editor then I'll be looking even more closely.

I am certain it will come soon enough once they have fixed any remaining bugs. Once of the things I like about OR is when you run round a train, you have to hit \ to couple the brake pipes which makes it more involving than MSTS as MSTS is more automated .
