    So, now 2 routes are let:
    what one do I buy?

    1. Salzburg-Rosenheim 2.Niddertahlbahn (if I spell it good)

    NOTES:
    I want a route with NO much lag, I have a low end pc. I can run DRA and SKA good with full layer timetable.

    Stop relying on us so much and just buy what you personally prefer. It's really simple. Those routes are set FAR apart in what they are, just look at gameplay or something.

    The two routes are chalk and cheese. Niddertalbahn is a 60 km/h rural meander across a moderately scenic single track secondary line. Done to a very high standard by TSG. Though sadly as with many A to B routes I found it didn’t offer too much replay value.

    Salzburg to Rosenheim is pretty much your standard German/Austrian offering. Double track electrified main line, mixture of express, regional and stopping services. Plus freight. Pleasant rather than spectacular scenery, the DB BR111 is a nice older loco but the route does tend to fall into the rinse and repeat style of other German DLC.

    So it really boils down to whether you want something a bit different with Niddertalbahn or a DLC which doesn’t stray too far from the established pattern.

    Niddertalbahn is definately the most unique one. If you like older trains and branch lines, definately a fun one. Scenery is well detailed too.

    oki thanks for the replies, do you guys I can run these 2 routes with a gtx 1050, 16 gb ddr3 rmam and a fx 4300 with minimum 15 fps?

    15 fps and above is good for me :D

    I don’t play on PC, but if we’re are using plain old common sense here (what route is the most demanding on memory, layers etc) than I’d choose Niddertalbahn. It’s a very scenic route with very little AI traffic.
    Salzburg - Rosenheim on the other hand is a very busy route with lots of AI traffic and layers, so this route would be most taxing on your PC hardware.
    Good luck, I hope you find a solution.

    If OP on Steam as seems to be indicated, if the route doesn't run well you can always refund within the usual window.
