SimRail - The Railway Simulator

realistyczna — od kabiny maszynisty po zachowanie pociągów i sygnalizację. Czuć klimat prawdziwej kolei, a jazda po znanych trasach w Polsce daje mega satysfakcję. Duży plus za tryb multiplayer, gdzie można spotkać innych graczy, którzy też prowadzą pociągi albo siedzą na nastawniach jako dyżurni ruchu. Super sprawa jest to, że można gadać głosowo z innymi na danym kanale, więc nie trzeba nic pisać — komunikacja wychodzi o wiele naturalniej i bardziej realistycznie. Szkoda tylko, że zamiast sensownych aktualizacji twórcy wolą wrzucać płatne DLC, co trochę psuje ogólny odbiór, bo gra ma ogromny potencjał, ale czuć, że ciągną z tego kasę. Mimo wszystko gra jest bardzo dobra i idealna na nudę — można sobie pojeździć, pogadać i poczuć klimat prawdziwej kolei.

Hello developers and community. I’ve been reading a lot about SimRail's advanced physics engine and the praised "Adhesion 2.0" system. However, my recent single-player experiments completely broke any immersion regarding weight, friction, and locomotive power limits. Here is a brief reality check.Experiment 1: The Traxx MiracleLocomotive: Single BR 186 (Traxx) — 4 axles, ~84 tons total weight.Weather: Winter / Snow conditions.Train Weight: 4,500 tons (Freight).The Challenge: Starting from a dead stop on an uphill gradient without compressing the couplers (stretched train).In-game result: The locomotive successfully started the train and hauled it uphill without infinite wheelslip or the safety system cutting power.Real-life physics: An 84-ton Bo-Bo locomotive on icy/snowy rails trying to start a stretched 4,500t train uphill would instantly grind the rails to dust. The adhesion coefficient required for this is mathematically impossible in the real world. Experiment 2: The Ultimate Physics Defiance. The Situation: Hauling a heavy train forward at 42 km/ч.Reverser setting: Set to MINUS 39% (Full reverse gear).Regulator (Throttle): Open at 38%.Boiler Water Level: Dropped to a critical 25%.In-game result: The locomotive keeps happily cruising forward at 42 km/h without any wheel lock, mechanical failure, or boiler explosion.Real-life physics: Putting a steam engine into reverse gear while running forward with an open throttle creates a massive "counter-steam" effect. In reality, this would either instantly lock/shred the driving gear or cause violent wheel slip in the opposite direction. Furthermore, a 25% water level in a Ty2 (BR 52) boiler would completely expose the firebox crown sheet, leading to a catastrophic boiler explosion. Yet, the game allows this train to just pull forward as if nothing happened. Honestly, I was expecting a true hardcore experience, not these arcade compromises and hand-holding assumptions. 😂I understand that single-player might have some gameplay balances, but when a game brands itself as "the most realistic railway simulator," such arcade-like adhesion, broken valve gear logic, and absence of environmental rules look disappointing. My personal assessment is 50/50. I expected more hardcore.
