Don’t be silly – of course they have! E.g.

do you think people have ever made a tube train simulator?

one dingy tunnel after another, all pretty much exactly the same. mostly pitch black. occasional flattened mouse.
a cursory search did not find anything surprisingly.

I think what they’re doing here is putting two billboards with the same cut-out tree photo at right angles to make an X. But not sure.

I think these two youtube videos illustrate the extremes that I would like Train Game to fall somewhere in the middle of :) .

It looks OK because their camera angle is restricted. I found that as soon as the camera is looking down above about 45 degrees orienting the trees to point at the camera looks silly because they appear to be falling over, and leaving them horizontal also looks silly because they’re obviously flat and rotating.
