I've been "playing" TS2014 for some time now and I have to say it's not bad at all. Especially the steam engines - they're rather tricky to operate properly.
The environment is pretty nice too with the changing weather, nice textures and that thing we're all missing from FSX: raindrop effects on the windshield (pretty nice ones too). Of course you have your train-geeks complaining about how realistic it is but hey, it's the same with all sims right?

Had my Dad still be alive ... It would have really suited him, a real train buff he was, course in comes his son in a P-47

Nice ..... Im a train simmer from way back , love them . And i agree , the environment is amazing ..... real rain (as GJZ ) said .
Im a fan of the old EMD F-7/F-9's ...... classic stuff . 2015 version will be definite buy.

For sure , nothing like dragging a 30+ wagon , mixed freight up and over a mountain pass . You soon learn about power management . Last thing you want is have to that thing run out of go, and start rolling back ... or worse , to fast on the decline .... gets messy

Ive also a ship sim (a couple) , and as slow it can be , its very immersive , and needs a whole new skill set to do it right .

Ship sim is one I would like to have a look at for the ocean/water affects ... what was that old game again were you had to run a shipping empire .. ? ... that go's back to the late 1980s

by **NZ255** » Tue Sep 16, 2014 1:41 pm

Perhaps they'll impliment the fsx style resample method of getting imagery into the Sim.

I couldn't imagine you with a ship sim a speedboat or fast flyingboat sim yes but a ship sim nah! ships are much slower than your General Aviation aircraft and as I see it anything slow is not in Ian's hanger

Other than Aircraft Carriers and Battleships .... the AC's are serious fun in the MPs

Speaking of that, is anyone keen to do a AC MP? Keep hearing how fun they are...
