Exterior view is more satisfying as a console gamer than cab view, especially in gangway-ended rolling stock!
Respectfully, I think this criticism is much less valid today than it was at release. The BR 101 Expert has layers on: 1. Dresden-Riesa 2. Salzburg-Rosenheim 3. Bremen-Oldenburg 4. Frankfurt-Fulda (it's a bit wonky and we are working on fixing it, but you can still play 80% of the services in the current revision) 5. Mannheim-Kaiserslautern 6. Kassel-Würzburg (yes you have to pay for it, but you do get 40 services rather than 5 or whatever it was on the old one). This leaves: Frankfurt S-bahn, Hauptstrecke Rheih-Ruhr and Hamburg-Lübeck. FSN is definitely getting a timetable with the BR 101 Expert in the future, but it will take some time. HBK is only 2 services, not exactly a huge loss and far down on my priority list. HRR is more tricky: On the upside it has about 20 IC services and was my favourite route back in TSW2 (because of the BR 101) but it is also really dated, both in terms of scenery and lighting (old "TOD3") and the timetable (freight is mostly, iirc, fictional, I don't remember if the timings for the IC services are autogenerated or prototypical but I'd imagine the former) so I'm hesitant to spend the (relatively significant) time to make an Expert timetable for it. Perhaps in the future DTG or a third party will remaster it or extend it In conclusion you probably already have an equal amount of playable services (if not more) and gameplay hours on the BR 101 Expert compared to the original BR 101, because of the Kassel-Würzburg gameplay pack. When FSN gets an Expert timetable that will only increase the disparity in the BR 101 Expert's favour and at that point I think this narrative is invalid
