 News Release - October 2005 MSTS Genie 1.0 Utility Announcement The Brockville Simulator Works (BSW, or BrockSim) is pleased to announce the completion of development cycle for the MSTS Genie. We are now in the final stages of system integration and release packaging cycles. We will have a “Restricted Beta” release before the full commercial release. The “Restricted Beta” program will be announced in here, so stay tuned… MSTS Genie 1.0 will be released as a shareware product within a short period of time. Train Simmers can evaluate for 30 days a fully functional copy of MSTS Genie. A license may be purchased for US$ 20.00 to operate MSTS Genie on a full time basis. The obvious question is why anyone would want to shell out 20 US green-backs when a “similar” functionality may be available for free – albeit across a spectrum of 6 to 12 different utilities. The answer will become very obvious when the MSTS Genie is put through its paces during the evaluation period. MSTS Genie’s functionalities are similar to those of such well known utilities as Route-Riter, TK Utils, ConBuilder, Train Store, Kosmos, MSTS Friction Calculator, and TSUtil – to mention just a few of the first class utilities for MSTS. If BrockSim have been able to see a little bit farther it is only because we were able to stand on the shoulders of such giants of MSTS community as the ones who developed the utilities mentioned above. MSTS Genie was designed as a plug-in container and manager and it requires the latest version of the Microsoft’s free downloadable .NET Framework. Additional functionality in the future will be distributed as a plug-in. MSTS Genie version 1.0 package contains three components: Genie Engine that provides the under-the-hood magic for everything else, Genie Basic Plug-In that incorporates the integrated and extended features similar to the above mentioned utilities, and the Genie Pro Pack 1 Plug-In that will add a number of highly desirable features addressing some of the most annoying MSTS “idiosyncrasies”. Genie Pro Packs 2, 3, and 4 are already under development – so look for them in the future releases. Train Simmers are all holding their collective breath to see what the RailDriver and Kuju teams may be able to come up with. And who knows what Microsoft may or may not do? But until then the current MSTS is “the” TrainSim to use and beat and the BrockSim team is totally committed to extending the MSTS’s “lease on life” as much as it may be possible. Brockville Simulator Works is a group of like-minded computer professionals welded together for the purpose of developing first class simulation software – from the after-market add-ons to the original simulation products. We take our name from the city of Brockville in Ontario, Canada that is the site of Canada’s first railway tunnel (completed in 1860). Each member of the team has a certain “strength” or “specialty” that covers a particular aspect of simulation – such as physics, mathematics, classical and celestial mechanics, 2D and 3D graphics and animation, Assembler / C / C++ / C# / Java programming, image / sound / video processing, etc. In charge of all technical affairs is Dr. Emanuel J. Jech who has retired over two years ago from a highly successful IT consulting career spanning more than 35 years. Dr. Jech is now devoting all of his time to ensuring that the MSTS Genie is there for Train Simmers. BrockSim are not just a bunch of computer geeks – we have logged hundreds of hours “simming”. We love the MSTS – as imperfect and annoying as it sometimes seems to be – and we will do our best to go through, over, under, or around any of its annoyances. We feel quite lucky and privileged to have acquired the necessary know-how to be able to put some “magic” into a product like the MSTS Genie. The next news release will contain the information about the “Restricted Beta” availability and how to “get” on the “Restricted Beta Test” list. The “Restricted Beta” package will be sent directly to the qualified participants via email. The commercial release date, where and how the MSTS Genie 1.0 may be purchased and licensed, and similar information will appear in future news releases. The MSTS Genie 1.0 and any subsequent releases will be always uploaded to Train-Sim.com, UKTrainSim.com, and EUTrainSim.com. We are working on establishing a publicly accessible BrockSim web-site with its own message board. The licensed users of the MSTS Genie will be able to log into the members area of that site and have a direct access to the vast knowledge pool of BrockSim team. During the interim period we may be contacted at “infoTSGenie@sympatico.ca”. Well, TTFN, and happy “simming”… Gaius DocSim of BrockSim
