I will be giving this pack a go in my stream tonight. I saw the preview stream yesterday and was impressed by it it was really hard trying to hear you guys the audio for the voice was really low. Hentis
Honestly whilst the add ons you need for this pack are expensive, the pack itself is very fairly priced for the amount of changes to the timetable and the depth of scenarios, looking forward to playing it!
I'll definitely be waiting to see the comments in the feedback thread before buying this one, it looked great on the stream but the fact they couldn't get it to work without crashing on Epic, and there is such a variety of layers it's guaranteed to be a blurry mess on console, makes me very wary of buying for PS5.
I am getting this, pc on Steam, for the new tt only. I played the expert 101 several times when it first came out. Good idea but since I do not speak or read German, it was a tedious experience to operate it. I had developed a plan which involved using my Bandicam to grab what the error was, then pause the game, go to the manual to figure out what was going on and find the fix then back into the game to do it. I found this interrupted the flow of play so much it was not fun to do. I may use the expert 101 a few times here and turn off errors, so once I am going I do not have to worry.
I got it for time table and more traffic. I got it just for that. I want to see lots and loads of traffic. More traffic more better. This route pretty amazing. This route like a keep back route. Long route but enjoyable. This particular route stop taking other local due to space. But I enjoy this route. Hats off.
If you got a cellphone with Android, it usually includes Google Sense. With that you can just point your cellphone camera to the in-game computer screen with the text in german and it will auto-translate it for you. The 101 instructions are usually clear enough that you dont need to go read the manual.
