    274 services is pretty impressive for just those three little lines. That's very busy.
    I look forward to the 7 Class 37 services and the upcoming Class 70 layer too. Not sure what the Class 70 will do exactly as they didn't say, but hey at least that's ONE layer for the 70 announced!

    There are other features, like the multi- function save application for which we don't have the equivalent 25 years later in TSW.

    Not to mention the many steam locos.

    For some of us, it's not so much " nostalgia " as .missing features. Of course now we have colorful umbrellas and annoyingly persistent dense fog, things MSTS didn't have.

    That's fair... but not from a tech standpoint.
    That's a gaming design choice.
    I disagree with it, but they've never said it's impossible to do.
    They just chose not to.

    Last I heard couple of years ago, they're still working on it.

    Well they were "looking at it as a possible future feature."
    Not that they couldn't do it.... just that they didn't see the "need" for it.
