I think you must have caught it off me - I've been playing trains too.

I used to enjoy Truck Driving in my trusty Peterbilt 18-wheelers around Europe and the USA many moons ago, among all my various games on Steam since 1996.
Nowadays, I'm still stuck with my Flight Simulator FS2020, with my gaggle of Ultralight aircraft, especially my new 36MPH Paramotor (Motorised Paraglider), exploring the breathtaking scenery below me at low level... :o ....!
It's the sort of stuff that gets me out of bed every morning...
...all excited!...!.... :rockon: ...!

A wing and a prayer!

A magical machine, providing that you don't want to go somewhere in a hurry...LOL... :lol: ... :lol: ... :lol: ...!

All my other aircraft are fixed-wing Ultralight aircraft...Cessna 150...and SMALLER. Trikes and Taildraggers. Rag and Tube!... :plane: ....!
Loads of FUN...with a big grin!!

Paul....with the birds in the sky.... :bow: ... :bow: ...!

Interesting that flyndive also do the Storch, which while not quite Rag 'n Tube, will go in and out of any place and fly at walking pace.
Best of all, it's excellent quality, and free!
That's the thing with this - I was going to say "Hobby" - obsession, so much talent involved.

Trains didn't work....the Goat sim is just odd...found a sniper thing, but that's not me.
I spent a few hours on Riven...very calm and relaxing....I think I'm back.

A rest is as good as a break Marty :)

That's call "recuperation" !

And even "SUPER SIMMERS" need to do that once in a wile.

One other thing I will also say though .... "FS does always beat the hell out of stamp collecting" ;)

As I said earlier, I've been playing with trains. Mainly looking for Real v. Sim, with the real being provided by railcam.uk and the sim from Train Simulator. Lots of potential there.
Real things were pretty wild at Dawlish this morn - no wonder they need axle counters there - with all that salt spray the track circuits just won't work. Link for short video below:
