Just the USA (to start with) but it's another piece of the missing immersion in this Sim, lovely

  • Then don't buy it 🤦‍♂️

  • Not a bad idea.. Even low and slow flying. I don't need Carenado style recreation of trains. Just a general sensory sense of "Oh cool! Look a train!"...   And I'm a rail fan who could nitpick a train

    Wait until the trains start doing smart about turns when they meet a cross roads. Should be fun. 🤣

That's pretty cool.  BT Studio did the C90 king air - but perhaps this will be a nice product.

Great!  They just need to tone down the over-saturation of the colours. 

These trains should be a bit dusty / dirty.  Obviously we don't want dirt and dust painted on them, or complex textures, as we want good framerates, so just toning the colours down or fading them slightly would make them look a bit more realistic I think.

This is a common issue with some of the city packs and the skyscrapers also. 

EDIT: Looking at the pictures again, maybe it is just the bright orange containers that stand out too much.  I will certainly give it a look when released.  It's a shame once again as Asobo are on about bringing their own trains to MSFS2024 at some stage.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Nice if they can get this to work. In not sure the roads, especially on hills, are consistently level enough though, to make this fully convincing…

Nice. I hope it has the same quality as the train sim I started with: Trainz Railroad Simulator 2019 - Official Trailer (youtube.com)

Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space.
Software: latest Windows 10 Pro, P3Dv4.5+, FSX Steam, and lots of addons (100+ mostly Orbx stuff).

A close relative of mine lives on a cul de sac. Only the people that live in the five houses and visitors ever drive in there. But in the sim, it has bumper to bumper traffic, including semi trucks, that barrel in at full speed, screech to slow speed, and then continue around the circle and accelerate away.

Can AI make the trains run on schedule?

"users won’t be able to drive the trains directly"

Buhhh, what a bumper

It is expected to be released within the next 30 days? That sounds pretty soon to me...

I have so many questions, is there a demo video?

Hope the performance do not kill the Sim ??

If so better not..

cheers 😉

This will take some FPS regardless of what dev’s might say. Of course it is using some PC resources (mostly CPU which for most of us is already the limiting factor) to drive those trains. When we throw this into the mix with AI air traffic, Global Shipping, GSX, road traffic etc etc, the combined effect is most certainly not insignificant, regardless of the system you have.
