Špatná kvalita a ovládání zcela jiné než v realitě. Za ty prachy se asi posrali ne
The 110th Platoon, Over the Hills, The Dark Railway Series, B1tch of the Yard, Tales of New Wessex, Rails to Refuge. Great shows created in this game.
not worth it, not very realistic, bought a pack and never got it in game.
Great game! it's been out for a while now. Modding community is great, and it's easy to run. The only thing i don't like about it is the physics. it's not very realistic in terms of physics, or graphics, but that makes it easy and fun to play when you want to wind down. I wish the physics were better, but I play it and love it for the VAST set of routes and locomotives. This is the only game that has my favorite locomotive, the SD60E. no other games, other then Trainz has the SD60E. Truly awesome.
In the face of many new train sims, sometimes it's good to stick to the simple basics.

Jeux qui demande calme et concentration pour respecter les limites de vitesse et l'horaire d'arrivée en gare. Ce n'est pas toujours facile.
--- ENGLISH VERSION --- I re-evaluated this game after playing the beautiful new simulator "Running Train" because it made me want to try this older but always up-to-date game again. Well, I have to say that despite an old graphics engine, with poor antialiasing, slow, without DLSS/FSR, and running much worse than Running Train with Unreal Engine 5 (a miracle, because UE5 is usually slow), this game is also very good. In fact, you don't have to own all 700 DLCs; you just need a few, which you often find selected in bundles and special offers along with the base game at a discount. The game focuses heavily on trains in the UK, Germany, and the US, but in the "trains" and "routes" sections, you'll find some nice surprises: the French LGV high-speed line, and its beautiful TGV trains. You'll also find a Japanese Shinkansen and various Chinese high-speed trains. And not just high-speed trains, it's full of very, very interesting local trains. It's just a shame that the game completely ignores some countries with beautiful trains, like Italy, which, especially in the years before the necessary European renewals and standardizations (so until the 1990s), had some beautiful electric and diesel locomotives and electric trains, and today it has some beautiful superfast trains. This is a real problem with the game and with the policy of Dovetail, the developer, and it applies not only to Italy, but also to France and Japan, because although the lines I mentioned above are present, they are too neglected, despite having wonderful trains. Yet the game has beautiful physics, the trains can skid and derail if you're not careful, and it's so much fun to drive these trains in career mode in the various missions per train and route, with experience increasing based on your score... And by the way, the trains in the UK and Germany are also beautiful. --- VERSIONE ITALIANA --- Ho rivalutato questo gioco dopo aver giocato il bellissimo nuovo simulatore "Running Train" perché mi ha fatto venir voglia di riprovare questo gioco più vecchio ma sempre aggiornato. Ebbene devo dire che nonostante un motore grafico vecchio, con cattivo antialiasing, lento, senza DLSS/FSR, che gira molto peggio di Running Train con Unreal Engine 5 (miracolo perché di solito UE5 è lento), anche questo gioco è molto bello. Infatti, non è che dovete possedere tutti e 700 i DLC, bastano alcuni, che spesso trovate selezionati nei bundle e nelle offerte speciali assieme al gioco base scontati. Il gioco si incentra molto sui treni di UK, Germania e USA, ma nella sezione "treni" e "tratte" "di altre nazioni", troverete belle sorprese: la linea francese ad alta velocità LGV, ed i relativi, bellissimi, treni TGV. Troverete anche uno Shinkansen giapponese e vari treni superveloci cinesi. E non solo treni veloci, è pieno di treni locali molto, molto interessanti. Peccato solo che il gioco ignori totalmente alcune nazioni con bellissimi treni, come l'Italia, che specialmente negli anni precedenti i necessari rinnovamenti e standardizzazioni europee (quindi fino agli anni '90) aveva alcune bellissime locomotive elettriche e diesel ed elettrotreni, nonché oggi ha dei bei treni superveloci. Questo è un vero problema del gioco e della politica di Dovetail, lo sviluppatore, e non vale solo per l'Italia, anche per la Francia e il Giappone, perché pur essendo presenti le linee che ho citato prima, sono troppo trascurati, pur avendo treni meravigliosi. Eppure il gioco ha una bella fisica, i treni possono slittare e deragliare se non state attenti, ed è così divertente guidare questi treni in modalità carriera nelle varie missioni per treno e tratta con l'esperienza che cresce in base al vostro punteggio... E comunque anche i treni di UK e Germania sono bellissimi.
TSC may now be the elder statesman of train simulators, and in some things does show it's age but compared to TSW where it costs you a fortune each new version released, TSC is still supported, automatically updated, has a LOT more DLC and much better simulation. I have owned TSC since it was originally released, spent a small fortune on DLC - both on Steam and other websites - and don't regret a thing. It has always surpassed the Grandad of Train Simulators MSTS and I would recommend it in a heartbeat. However... There are still bugs - the fabled Out Of Memory crash still raises its head occasionally, and you need a fairly high power PC to play it. That said, be sensible with adding on routes, and install them PROPERLY (check the requirements) then they are few and far between now.
its a great way to relax at the end of the day
