    XD

    Okok, my prediction for the Swiss one is either the Surselva line or the Gotthardbahn; would prefer the later one though

    Swiss follows the trend, the last was UK.

    Interesting video that is very truthful. Rivet are nowhere near the standard Just Trains have set.

    And to post that video again you needed to use a months old thread when new ones for each of the new products are avaible?

    I, personally, enjoy the E-G route alot.
    It was my most played, alongside WCL.

    Troube is, if it wasn't for the Pacer, JT's route would have been a miss for me, I don't enjoy the 80s routes.

    Rivet do very well at modelling, but they do lack on the physics and sounds side.
    Their models have always been beautiful, and even IoW22 is a really pretty route.

    The scenery is not really a strong point of theirs either ngl.

    I would be the same if they fixed the outstanding issues but I pretty much give it one service every now and again now.

    train modelling I’ve found to be pretty decent from rivet, they often offer quite a bit of cab interaction, but train setup (lack of off world destinations and lack of start up times) set back their train development positives quite a bit for me.

    route modelling is quite hit and miss, they can make some great looking assets but others look like a bit of a 5 minute job was spent on a large area unfortunately.

    LiDAR looks to be a saviour to me for Rivets mountain problem (Arosa) Luzern’s was better but LiDAR seems to be the key for future routes.

    whilst I ain’t looking to purchase new routes at the moment, I am keeping an eye out still on what comes out, hopefully see a lot of improvements with their new route, but their record for bug fixing sits below DTG in my opinion, which isn’t a particularly high point anyways unfortunately.

    I think, in fairness, the route scenery modelling certainly has improved over time.
