Stutter a lot, appears washed up.
Too bad, seems the quality is getting down...

Loc is cool though.

The Rainbow Six / SWAT sequel we all waited for. 1.0 is wonderful, maps are crazy beautiful and detailed.
I'm still so bad at this game. But it's always a pleasure to play with friends.
You should not wait, and play it now.

Feedback for the devs, as asked on the store page
Hi players, hi JR East, hi Ongakukan,

Glad to see Ongakukan back on the non-professional side of Train Simulator series, i'm a fan from PSP and PS2 era.

This is a small feedback for JR East and Ongakukan, compairing this game to other train sims and the previous titles in the Ongakukan's Train Simulator series.

Some people didn't seemed to understand the main thing about this game, that is to say : "Driving a train while playing a video".

Pros:
- High quality video with better framerate than previous titles, better feeling when driving slow.
- The 2 routes are good and completely opposite, one very busy one, and a more rural one.
- Sounds are nice, feels immersive. But isn't there missing famous "japanese station annoncement songs, different on all stations"? I'm not sure.

Things to improve:
- The UI. In begineer mode, it would be great to have Speed, Max speed on the top right corner display, as on previous versions.
- On some Train Simulator titles, you added, on the bottom left of the screen, a "repetition" of signs as seen along the line, blinking faster as you approach. Can be good for mobile players (later on that) and people with visual difficulties.

Missing and "important":
- Add generic Xbox controller support, either through your game itself or a Steam official controller scheme.
- Doesn't run on SteamDeck, with Shaders error on launch. Could be great to have SteamDeck support as it just came out in Japan as well, might not be too hard to pinpoint the problem to have Proton support.
- Add some "signal database" like on most of your titles in the main menu, for non-japanese fans to be able to obey signals along the track.

Missing and "could be fun":
- Maybe some kind of disruptions occuring randomly (just like you would have on a professionnal Train Simulator for drivers) : level crossing red signal (obstructed), or a late train in front of us (even though we can not see it, playing just with signals), obliging us to keep a very careful eye on signals. If you have other ideas, it might be fun.

If you are a player, and you have a constructive feedback as well, maybe we can combine all this in a super thread for the devs.

Keep up the good work, and hoping to hear about your ideas soon,
Max, a French fan <3

11/10 will play HL2 with friends again.

Gameplay very nice, if you have a friend to play with. Some online coop bugs though.

This. It is the best train simulation game I ever played.

Pros:
- Heavily detailed security mechanisms (Indusi PZB and LZB modelled perfectly, AFB, etc.),
- Supports any DirectX recognized joystick/throttle/button thing, so it is a great immersion (i'm using Logitehc Flight Throttle Quadrant https://www.logitechg.com/en-gb/products/flight/flight-simulator-throttle-quadrant.html ),
- ZusiDisplay: if you have a multimonitor setup, use one screen as primary, and start as many ZusiDisplay instances as you want. You can then have a dashboard screen (Speedometer, LSB/PZB and lights, Acceleration/breaking), or a timetable for you to configure for your route.
- You can have incidents. I really think it is the first train simulator i ever played where you can set a percentage of problems (closed signals, order to allow SPAD on broken signal, work on the line, delayed train in front of you, etc.)
- There is many lines (about 12, some are long, some are shorter), train types (ICE, IC, RE, S and freight trains) and hours to choose from (about a full day of traffic per route).
- Sound is great

Be aware:
- Microsoft Train Simulator graphisms, so be prepared.

Cons:
- Sometimes crashes when starting a new simulation while another one is paused,
- Could have a better route-selecting interface than the standard 'open a file' thing.
