Who the hell knows? You know what Americans don't do? Play train simulators as recreation. Boy, pressing a button over and over sounds exhilarating. A celebration of life!

It's not pressing a button over and over again. Train Sim World 2 features a much more immersive cockpit then Train Simulator 2020 and whatever stupid number they come up next. and the upcoming Sim Rail (not related to each other) has dispatch mode which I'm more interested in and has realistic cab controls. The focus is more on realism then swamping us with new routes:

Almost too realistic to the point they are looking at giving options. Run 8 now defunct: was so realistic you actually needed to learn about the fucking loco before using it and wasn't for the faint of heart but it seemed to have died off I guess being too realistic and not enough awareness. I almost got that one too if it had more support but Sim Rail is independent and seems to fill my thirst for realistic locos.

Here's Sim Rail (not out yet) vs Dovetail's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jod6Ww5QSIw Sim UK's review of the recently released AND patched demo: I did it before it was patched and actually made it almost to the end but the dispatch mode was broken. (Go figure) It wanted me to contact dispatch to get permission to cross a signal at danger at limited speed to teach you how to use dispatch mode but it didn't work. I wonder if the patch fixed it? Most players of the demo didn't get as far as I did and said they couldn't time stopping at the stations though I had no trouble with the braking system.

God I WISH it were as simple as pressing a button over and over again!!!! Desert Bus Simulator is that if you want to see what pressing a button is like. Whatever you do DON'T CRASH!!!
