SpoorSim is the most realistic train sim I have yet seen - both visually and audibly. The two available trains are highly detailed and the steam and diesel sounds are well coordinated and realistic. In areas where there are no locomotives, such as sidings with cars, you get a beautiful sound of wind. Trees and trains alike cast realistic shadows. The route is 100 miles long in a ficticious South African setting. Three views are available: cab, external, and tracking. The external view provides a continuous circular panning, which is very smooth and beautifully done. Trains can be driven in AI or manual mode.
The sim is usable by computers running Win 98/ME/XP. The download is a 12.8 MB installer. This expands to 72 MB of disk space. Instructions are contained in the Readme.txt file.
SpoorSim is version 1.0. As such it does not permit switching tracks,shunting cars, or pausing the sim. Also, there is no mention of capability for third-party add-ons.
SpoorSim sets a new standard of realism and is well worth downloading and installing.

I have managed to download the Spoorsim 2.0 from a german site but this is only a demo for 30 days, after which you have to pay to unlock the program. The only problem is that the site has been shut down.
Is there anybody who can tell me how to unlock the program or where I can go to and get full open program.
I am getting quite proficient at shunting around the station and would like to take the trains out on a full run.
Please help.
Thanks, Clyde.
You've gotten farther than I have. I had pretty much given up on Spoorsim and didn't know v2.0 was still out there.
I have the 1.0 spoorsim if someone wants I can go to vcs
