    Looks like I just missed it in the Steam sale. When I tried it last (refunded) if you ran late the train behind simply passed through yours!

    Not sure if that has been addressed.

    'Additionally, AI trains no longer pass through player trains at signals'. - from the update notes.

    Thanks. Useful to know. Of course the big advantage Hmmsim had on the tablets, being able to (sort of) run BVE routes and trains is not being extended to the PC version.

    But I have it wishlisted for if it crops up on sale again at some point.

    The lighting is superb in this sim, I think it's now ue5? Still runs very smoothly compared to tsw, extremely busy with ai as well. Lots of depot moves now, timetable mode where you can do part runs etc. I'd love to see a uk or german route with this sim.
    Shnauz has a video on it if interested.

    Certainly sounds like it’s worth another look.

    Yep, still amazed at how good this sim is, performance is great on my old system even with all that AI/trackwork. Great effort from the dev.

    Train Station image looks very busy in the pics Orb posted above. This is something TSW needs to address. Big stations are empty. Should be heaving with people.

    Yep, it's great, especially when trying to gauge when to shut the doors when operating manually. Had a great run shunting out of a depot, changed cabs then ran the service. Then came back the other way. Was a bit late and pretty sure I experienced dynamic signalling. Has a great timetable type of mode now, can choose where to start and end.
    This sim really is a gem, I think a lot of people don't really know much about it.

    It looks really good. Too bad it’s not on consoles. :(
