did Atlas ship the curved turnouts yet?

As for the curved turnouts, they should actually go into production this month and be here by the end of January.

Again no train stuff....well other than orders arriving... This thing keeps distracting me and I am getting NOTHING done on the layout...



That game consumed about 3 or 4 days of my modeling time. I only did the single player mode. I hear the multiplayer mode is really tough for noobs. I didn't like the single player game mode as it is too linear, though the fight when you have to clear the town and the sniper mission in Chernobyl were cool. The problem I have with single player mode is it just doesn't feel like real tactics. I suppose in multiplayer, tactics and strategy is more realistic and important. There you can interact with other humans instead of just the weak AI.

The javelin simulator is also complete BS. The real Javelin doesn't work like that at all. The AC-130 gunship part was different and fun. 

CoDMWII has a scene were you must kill civilians in an airport to prove loyalty to a gang of terrorists. That may cross the line.

I prefer Gears of War 2 for multiplayer.

I wish they had come out with additional levels of that. I really enjoyed it.

I actually really do not like the dearth of solid flight sims anymore.

I guess I keep hoping for Janes US Navy Fighters 360 or something like that.

Ace Combat is pretty, but really isn't the same at all.
