As I drove in several DLC trains I noticed the attention to detail, from the cab rocking around to shadows moving inside it. The sounds were also great and perfectly matched everything you did. Another great game feature was the editor. I looked at some YouTube tutorials and soon knew how to use it. With it you could create and share scenarios (missions) and create custom routes with objects from others. The one problem I noticed in the game that existed in 2013 and still does in 2014 is the lack of content used. There is a huge amount and variety of DLC available from routes to locomotives, and all for a reasonable price. Yet none of the DLC mixed and matched and some parts of the DLC wasn't even used in game scenarios! In order to mix and use unused items you had to go into the editor section and create a free roam scenario, taking 3-10 minutes.
   
   Though it did lag on my old computer I got a lot of enjoyment out of it until one day when I went to start the game it said: ERROR: missing executable. This confused me so I went into the game files and launched the installers in repair mode. When that didn't work I removed the game from my computer and re-installed it. That didn't work so I just gave up and hoped it would work on my other computer. I am yet to see if it does.… Expand

I feel like this sim killed my passion for something I used to enjoy. Time to move on.… Expand

   Ok so i admit i am a secret Train fan, so this simulator is is something i was interested in. I Bought the original Railworks way back inOk so i admit i am a secret Train fan, so this simulator is is something i was interested in. I Bought the original Railworks way back in time, so have gone through the motions of Steam Updating the game every year. This money making game is far from perfect, the game is prone to bugs and random crashes. Customer support from Railsimulator and third party developers is non existant. The new features to add your own created content is advised against, as i have seen and heard reports that third party developers will try and threaten you with legal action if your creation in any way resembles there product.
   
   The Community is probably the worst i have come across for any game i have been involved with. Say something critical and expect a backlash from the community threatening you and anyone else they can find who know you. I gave the game a 1 rating because it has so much potential if the developers drop the greed attitude and focused on customers. But at the moment i would suggest to stay well clear of this game, not only because of the high DLC price but also due to the attitude of the community.
   
   To give you some idea of how greedy this game has become, the main modding website that promotes freeware is subscription based!. And everyone from the age of 12 expects to be paid for there work.… Expand

   Absolute copy and paste of the same game from previous years with minimal changes to the menu ui and other uis. Graphics and engine are STILLAbsolute copy and paste of the same game from previous years with minimal changes to the menu ui and other uis. Graphics and engine are STILL as bad as they were in 2007. A game destroyed by the same absolute stupid idea EA had when approaching the FIFA series. The amount of DLC for this game is extortion to describe in one word. 600 dlcs (most of which underdone and rushed just to force you to spend MORE money buying 3rd party dlc that fixes some of what Dovetail couldn't be bothered to put effort in) most dlcs of which amount 10-19+ pounds, which will get you the special grand total of around 8000 or so pounds excluding the third party DLC. Absolutely sick.… Expand

   With the current bugs, total disregard to the community, addons that were bought but disappeared, addons that never got updated, but insteadWith the current bugs, total disregard to the community, addons that were bought but disappeared, addons that never got updated, but instead they released a new version or separated older bundles to increase the price.
   
   In short, until they sort out the mile long bug list, I will not recommend this game.
   -- MY RATING: 4/10
   
   There are so many issues that I find it a daunting task just to list them; Maybe in the near future when I have the patience, but here are some of the big problems.
   
   -This lacks the basic simulation characteristics.
   - addons now are half-made and lack even basic features. With glaring exception of third party made addons, anything made by RSc(Dovetail now) is a waste of money.
   - Not even the LCD's from modern trains can display more information beyond the extremely basic.
   - They still refuse to use the Workshop at its full potential(before it was scenarios only, now they allow routes, but nothing beyond that... ).
   - It has no joystick support,
   - No TrackIr support and they see no need to add TrackIr support either(they believe it is expensive and no one uses it, but a fan hex-modded it in the game).
   - The sounds are ATROCIOUS!
   - Track sound, train sound, everything related to sound is bad.
   - The AI is terrible
   - You have to work hard in the editor just to get your scenario to function, this is due to bad AI and pathing issues.
   - Bugs, Bugs, Bugs and never ending Bugs galore that are never, ever, ever, never, ever fixed. When a miracle happens and hell freezes over, the bug fix they release is sometimes worse than the bug itself.
   - The content now doesn't even include scenarios, or if it does, it has them on bare-bones(Their excuse? Get them from Worshop)
   - Exceptionally BAD support.
   - Physics are bad, wheel sleep or even train weight feels weird.
   - Is it freezing outside? Raining? Baking hot? No difference on the train whatsoever! Overheating engine? Never happens!
   
   To make matters worse, they actively delete negative threads of the steam forum, they censor anything related to bugs or problems with the game, and they are even attacking negative reviews of steam by flagging it as "Off-Topic".
   
   DO NOT BUY THIS GAME
   I gave it a 4/10 because it used to be ok a couple of years ago and I'm honoring that, otherwise it is a 2/10… Expand
