It is quite good but hampered by the lack of a route editor that allows you to import real world terrain and mapping data to produce prototype routes. The driving interface is not entirely mnemonic either. However at least it features a fair few classes of heritage DMU sadly missing from TSW (or TSC for that matter), though I suspect some of the sounds have been synthesised. Also the guy making the programme has now been distracted on a new project, Constracktion, so not sure how much more love DRS will get. Certainly worth a punt in a sale.
Thanks Vern. It looked good for a sale buy. What do you mean by not mnemonic? The controls aren't intuitive? Do you mean the keybinds or the actual controls of 60s DMUs? =-) Can you keybind new ones then? I was looking at Constracktion but it looked...meh. It's more of a conceptual game than a sim. It's about the building of track, not running the trains (which look to be just AI afterthoughts) so it's more like an Empire Builder sorta game... like railway empire with Roadcraft added on. Not really appealing. I like building too, but Railroads Online does a much better job in that regard.
