❤ Realism and Simulation Depth

Players praise this title as one of the most realistic and in-depth train simulation experiences available. The game faithfully recreates the operations, systems, and behaviors of real-world German trains and railways, with an incredibly accurate simulation of train physics, braking dynamics, signaling systems, and train protection systems like PZB, LZB, and ETCS. The level of realism is so high that Deutsche Bahn (German Rail) uses the game to train their real-world locomotive engineers.

❤ Immersive, Challenging Gameplay

While the graphics may be relatively basic, the gameplay experience is highly immersive and challenging. Players must master the complex controls, safety systems, and operational procedures of German trains to successfully navigate the routes. The steep learning curve rewards players with a deep sense of satisfaction as they learn the intricacies of train operations and drive their trains safely and efficiently.

❤ Comprehensive Systems Simulation

The simulation faithfully recreates a wide range of train systems and operational elements in great detail, including accurate recreations of German signaling systems, train protection mechanisms, door systems, and more. Players must understand and properly utilize these systems to operate the trains correctly. The game also includes comprehensive timetables and schedules that impact the player's operations.

❤ Extensive Content and Flexibility

Players can explore over 500 kilometers of detailed, true-to-life German train routes, with a large selection of historically-accurate train models spanning different eras. The included editors allow players to create their own custom routes, timetables, and other content to extend the gameplay experience. Free updates continually add new routes and content.

❤ Dedicated Simulation Audience

This title is clearly targeted towards a niche audience of hardcore train simulation enthusiasts. While the steep learning curve and basic graphics may deter casual players, dedicated fans of realistic train simulation praise the game's unparalleled depth and fidelity. The game is not about flashy graphics or casual gameplay, but rather an immersive, authentic simulation experience for those passionate about German trains and railways.
