Oldest Tsw Player?

38 and counting (a kid compared to someone here )! Started with MSTS .

 

60 going on 16, I seem to be regressing as I get physically older

 

63 and have been playing since CSX Heavy Haul in March 2017. (TSC since 2014)

 

Well my birth age is 61 officially a old git I have been informed by my 30 somthing kids, thats age not meaning i have over 30 kids its there ages, most days I feel 81, my mental age is probably late teens but can venture into somewhat childish behaviour humour wise.

 

Late 40‘s myself. Been playing for 4 years since TSW2.

 

76

 

79

 

The inventor of the WWW, Sir Timothy John Berners. Good English stock!

As for age in this age of 'feelings' I'm about 136! lol

 

75, and still waiting for a half decent sale on X Box!!!

 

I. 81 now (b1944) started at the start of MSTS 2001. Started creating routes in 2005 ish, took me 6 years to do South Devon Banks, 10years all told on Bromsgrove/ Derby/ Ambergate/ Manchester/ Sheffield. Still fiddle a bit with it now.

 

I’ll see your MSTS and raise you Southern Belle on the Spectrum

 

22 here, started with msts when I was 5. Played a little bit of trainz 2006 when I was 6 or 7. Then when I got to about 10 or 11 I played the heck out of TSC. Started playing TSW when it came out on Xbox. (Right when I ended middle school in '17) still play tsw and dabbled with TSC on and off ever since. Been into trains since I was born and aim to be an engineer later in life.

 

76

 

Not inclined to give age other than I remember and travelled behind 37s on the West Highland line in Large Logo.....

 

Currently 17, turning 18 in a few weeks. Started on tsw2020 when I got it for Christmas and I’ve lost track of how much I’ve spent on dlc since then

 

Too rapidly approaching 80. First computer was university mainframe learning Fortran and punching endless cards. First sort of a PC was a Commodore 128. First flight sim was Sublogic's FSII in the mid-80s. Started with MSTS when it first came out and worked for a virtual railroad. Great fun. Still play TS Classic, mostly for its freight operations. Play stand alone RPGs and MMORPGs. All this keeps the brain cells active and the 15 year old in me busy.

 

Initially I didn't think this thread would be interesting, but I'm warmed by the large age spread of the community. I'm especially encouraged by the number of senior citizens. For some reason I've been under the impression that most players were youthful ( not necessarily a bad thing ) but there are, apparently, a lot of 60+ players, and quite a few in their 70's and 80's, which makes me feel more at home.

 

On the contrary, I didn't realise how many were actually a lot older than me.

Only around 6 people who have commented so far are younger than me, and some aren't that much older.

 

56 in human years.

 

It would be interesting to add a (anonymous?) poll to the thread.

 

I’m 42 which seems to be quite middle of the pack.

 

I seem to be a representative of the younger generation I am 29 years old - hello to the older generation and take care of your health)

P. S. I've been playing TSW since the release - from March 16, 2017

 

Hello i’m Jamie.
I’m 39, going on 40 next year… dum, dum, dum.
First simulator I started with was TS back in 2014. I didn’t play it for long as my PC was an ancient relic back then so I abandoned TS.
Flash forward to 2018 I see TSW announced on the PSN store
Also I started my TSC collection roughly 18 months ago, after finally taking the plunge to buy a decent gaming PC.

Other sims I enjoy and play:
Microsoft flight simulator 2024
ETS2
Seafarer: The ship sim
The Bus

 

Seafarer seems to have heavy duty minimum system requirements!

 

67 year old here. First train experience would be when I was about 5 years old. I got a tin plate clockwork (in apple green) train. It had a couple of coaches and ran on an oval track. I loved it!

 

Well, I'm the OP and this thread has gone a lot farther than I expected, too. Interesting that the age spread is all over the place. Should give DTG some things to consider down the road.

 

66 years on the planet here. Been with railway sims from the days of text based games on the Spectrum.
One of the first in UK on MSTS as I managed to obtain the USA version on release (GM Diesels on the box) rather than the slightly later UK release.

 

Aye… you’re only 6 months (give or take) younger than me.

 

It’s quite demanding even with a medium to high end set up that’s for sure, and my set up can just about run it. It’s very taxing on the fps and I don’t get good frame rate at all. It’s early access though, so it’s expected. Hopefully some better optimisation and improvements are added by early next year.
