If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, items saved in our library or the ongoing development of our TSRE Fork, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating.... Thanks!

Flight simming is much the same. Many of the flightsim companies go out of their way to make things real, i.e. planes that you can walk around and pre-flight, "persistent" aircraft where the state of the plane at the end of one flight carries over to the next meaning things actually wear out and require maintenance. In the real world these are things that are a headache and an expense, so having done them for years in the sim I'd rather avoid them. Fortunately the sim allows just putting me at the end of the runway, engine running and ready to go and lets the fun part start right away without dealing with the tedious details :-)

Bit of a drive Vern and the Pete 362 is really underpowered with that load.
I put a 600hp prime mover in her as well. Might be the gearing on the 18 speed gearbox.
Thats a big change of enviroments, Iceland to Saudi. One thing i don't mind with the two truck sims, is keeping my dlc up to date.
Doesn't cost an arm and a leg, like the train games dlc.

Not a bad little gaming roster ATM, bit of ATS, Run 8, admit guilty to TSW (revamped LIRR comes out today) and one or two others. Funnily enough I prefer ATS to ETS2, maybe because it reminds me of driving on holiday in the States years ago. Also some of the ETS2 maps are really ancient with artificial tunnels dividing up zones.
Have to say those 1.50 version preview clips look amazing. If that was DTG they would be charging us £40 for a new version of the game. Animated loading should be fun and looking forward to driving through Yosemite and down the California coast highway!Last edited by NorthernWarrior; 04-30-2024, 02:05.Vern.

I love Texas, probably due to all the old cowboy films and tv series i grew up with in the 1950's and early 60's. I can only concentrate on one game at a time Vern, so at the moment it is TSC with all modern routes. If it was DTG the updates would be in two parts and they would be £40 each. Fair play to SCS they do go that extra mile and listen to their customers.
California Dreaming is it buddy 🤣🤣.
