Let the horses run halfway...

Today I watched the Michael Heatherington interview and found it to be quite interesting. I have never heard of the Train Simulator software, but I am familiar with Flight Simulator. I frequently played it in my elementary years and used a joystick to get the full effect. Michael Heatherington was really onto something when he started thinking about possible ways to make the game better by utilizing more 'conductor friendly' controls. I am actually surprised that Microsoft didn't come out with their own version of Rail Driver along with the release of the Train Simulator software. Also, if you check out his actual Softrail retail site Michael has some other nice software to go along with the Rail Driver device.
