[TMTS] Cancelled?

[Coxster]

TMTS was one of the two new simulators that were under construction but now it has been put on hold indefinately. Could we just be seeing the Kuju simulator?

In the spirit in which we started this project, open and frank communication, we would like to let everyone know where things are on the TMTS project.
And the heading says it all.
While we originally planned to co-develop a professional simulator (TM) alongside a retail simulator (TMTS) we have been overwhelmed by the amount of work coming to us on the commercial and professional front and have decided to put the TMTS retail simulator on hold indefinitely.
Of course our business and developer partners are aware of our decision and we are thankful for their support over the life of the TMTS project. Not forgetting the community, we would like thank everyone who has made a positive contribution via the forums, emails, phone calls and even personally
P.I. Engineering will be continuing to support and develop their train simulator hardware products; the RailDriver, AAR-105 full size stand and the ReDAC interface units. We will be working with current and future train simulation game developers to make our hardware as broadly usable as possible.
We have asked our community forum partners to shut down the TMTS-specific forums.
We are very excited about the future of the professional product, however to give it the attention it deserves and demands we have had to make this difficult decision.

That is a shame, I was looking forward to it, I wonder if they also thought that with the release of Kuju Rail Simulator perhaps they may not get the full attention of the Train Simulation market. Still hopefully the project will be brought back to life in the future, or maybe re-encarnated into something else perhaps.

They are still making the 'proper' one however this is very expensive as it is for the 'real' railway market. The 'retail' product may be restarted later in the future.
