Rail Sim Pro

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rail Sim Pro (fully Railroad Simulator Professional Edition) is the next railroad simulator from Auran Pty. Ltd., a software firm based in Brisbane, Australia. RSP is a follow-up to Auran's popular Trainz franchise series. One common misconception is that RSP will be another installment in the Trainz franchise, but in reality, it will be all-new code, rewritten from the ground up. In mid-2006 Auran informally announced that RSP had been scrapped. The original concept of Trainz was conceived by Greg Lane, one of Auran's founders and then the CEO. It began life as a simple model railroad designer, allowing the user to create his/her own routes based on their model railroads and see them in 3d, driving their own trains. It was well-known for its easy-to-use Surveyor tool, the module that allows users to create their own virtual railroads.
