in TSX mode, single digits full time, even with no shadows enabled. The included locomotives include the GP9 and SW1500, both of which I enjoy and have used in scenarios on other routes (this scenery I laid out myself, it's not Donner Pass):Īs for the update, yes it does hammer my framerates. All snowy, and the included locomotives have snow on them (in exterior view).
For me, it's longer than I can manage in a single sitting, even going to the midpoint stop at Colfax. The western half of the route runs at 50mph or so, the eastern at 35mph. Like I said, it's 130 miles long and only one small stop along the way. Whether it's worth the money depends on how it suits your interests. That yard had several trains, rolling stock, and switchers placed, but it was empty everywhere else. Train yard is empty since I was running a "free roam" centered at Reno, at the far end of the route. Only reason I pop in every so often, is to see if they actually step away from the cartoonish graphics, and develop more than just MP related stuff, and when 3rd party content will actually be allowed.Seriously though, the route looks great, is it worth the money? Maybe they will enjoy it and not be right into Run8, as the others would give them much more options. If they want to start off with MSTS, RW, Trainz, whatever, so be it. I still don't know why people have such a fuss of who chooses what to play to begin with, they are all video games as far as I am concerned, and if someone is happy without Run8, so be it. Look at the Forza Motorsports games for example. If they can do it, I don't see why those with the "Train Simulators" can't, Specially seems those developments are much more complex then a few engines and a bunch of rail cars on a single track. Whether it's cars/trucks, trains, or people.

Yes, it's a minor point, but personally I would like to see history/traditions unique to USA railroading preserved and our traditions continued.īe incorrect often enough and long enough, and the incorrect becomes accepted, thus the original is eventually lost. Seeing as train enthusiasm has gone global with the advent of the internet, many of today's younger USA rail enthusiasts have embraced European nomenclature and it isn't correct nomenclature for the USA. We "run" engines, locomotives, trains, etc. In Europe you DRIVE a locomotive, not RUN it.īeen in/around railroading over 40 years now (some of my early tutorage was by nearly-retired Old Heads that started on steam engines) and I've never heard a USA Engineer refer to it as "driving" a train. One admittedly minor point: In the USA you RUN a locomotive. but actually, I was pleasantly surprised at the overall quality of Run 8.
I was all set to be negative as I watched it.
