Someone will add the Tesco or Salisbury’s branding on MVL as a mod eventually. You can stop the train, jump the fence and grab a pack of walkers
It's interesting seeing people bring up flight sim as a example, but it's not like everyone in the space universally agrees with the "full fidelity" approach. I've always found this to be a very interesting counterpoint video to that idea. And while it's not super common, I've definitely seen people make similar arguments in flight sim forums from time to time. Particularly seen a lot of people debate if a lot of the more detailed airports really need things like modeled interiors more than once.
As a flightsim player myself, I prefer more detail in planes and airports. If I'm paying a premium price, I want all that kind of stuff. And realistically, if it wasn't included, it wouldn't change the price much.
You say that, but IL-2 aircraft are much cheaper than DCS aircraft, $20ish versus $50 for a single war bird, and they're not Captain Sim quality at that price point. There also really isn't a comparable package in DCS that matches the "Battle of" packs, which contain 10 aircraft and a decent sized map, with a actual campaign mode, which DCS notoriously lacks. All despite the fact IL-2's the smaller game too boot.
The simulation in DCS is on an entire different level to IL-2. I'd rather buy a single DCS plane, than everything IL-2 combined plane wise. The flight models alone are superior in DCS, never mind all the other features.
A brutal end to the war of opposite takes on which of cheese & onion and salt & vinegar should be in majority blue packaging and which should be in majority green.
I remember being mentally scared as a child by this betrayal, i hate cheese and onion, only to have opened said traitorous packet to find instead of the lip tingling sensation of salt and vinegar, i have the horror to discover my arch nemesis in crisp form. I still have nightmares.
I like to use that toilet to hide during conductor mode, so passengers won't bug me with stupid questions.
And also laying a clever 'poacher turned gamekeeper' trap for fare evaders? (door opens) "ah, i've been expecting you"
I should walk back my criticism of toilets in trains.. The BBC published an " in depth " examination of the toilet ( I guess the only one ) in the Artemis II space capsule yesterday. I guess the fascination with toilets is more widespread than I thought.
It seems to me that all aspects of life in a train are worthy of interest. Eating (catering vehicles, RMB, RBR...), sleeping (sleeper cars have been mentioned recently), and then, what do we do with luggages, how are the coaches heated, etc, etc. All these questions are legitimate and interesting. What about the waste ? That's an equally legitimate question. I think that not depicting the toilets is mainly laziness on the part of whoever claims to be representing the interior of a train. When you do something, do it well, all the way through. Now, then, it is true that some people may be fascinated by these places, [EDIT - Jan - Inappropriate] But to be interested in these places or to feel an aversion to them for this reason, these are two sides of the same coin. To each their own tastes, to each their own problems. I'm not judging, I'm not moralizing, I don't give a damn. I want recreation of the real world. Just give me access to the toilets !
