I think that is comical. I run trains for a living and have for many years. I find no part of RW physics to be realistic. You get physics that are closer to real life, using cab mode in Trainz.
Bemusing that Forest Runner earlier smacked my hand for mis-understanding this thread. Can I remind him that every time (!) RW comes up here as a thread it runs into the same comparison stuff and rights and wrongs and everything in between? If you are going to discuss two railway simulators to see which is best then fine. No problem with that at all. However I don't see why we have to have a new thread time after time going on about the same dashed comparisons? You can doctor it up as much as liked but it is yet another rehash of the same.
When the first thread died someone after a short gap created another - then anotherafter that and so on. Opinions have been aired my point is why does it need to be constantly re-morphed into the same over and over. How many times do we have to get this ground hog day?! Thisnis worse than watching Ricky Gervais (!).

Actually I found it (at least this time) a little amusing. The original poster has a sense of humor and didn't have his heels dug in refusing to even acknowledge anything contrary to his beliefs.
I've actually learned a few things and I got my old copy of railworks out and give it another cursory look (don't worry I'm not going to become a convert anytime soon):hehe:
We wandered off topic a few times in this thread and it's actually been very active. Maybe we need to have more discussions like these, it actually provided a break from re-skinning over 100 containers, that I so desperately needed because my eyes were starting to bleed in Photoshop:hehe:
Perhaps he came here to post after having been banned from RW forums for lack of zeal... as far I know RW forums and fans (and here in Italy they are exactly like UK ones) anything less than blind faith in RW is considered high treason...
Anyway, he is the first one I see admitting that RW has some shortcomings (even if he doesn't care about them
).Perhaps he came here to post after having been banned from RW forums for lack of zeal... as far I know RW forums and fans (and here in Italy they are exactly like UK ones) anything less than blind faith in RW is considered high treason...

I was actually starting to wonder that myself. He does tend to swing back and forth and seems to have quite a bit of fun doing it. I get the feeling sometimes he is trying to lure out the zealots and he still may succeed:hehe:
I don't think I'm going to be converting to railworks anytime soon, I'm having way too much fun re-skinning all of Ocemy's containers from his new ContZ pack. When I'm done doing those I'll finish modifying the container yard to load the new reskinned containers.
Of course the reason I'm doing this has nothing to do with any kind of flaw with Ocemy's fine piece of payware, it's just that I want to use different well cars than what it is intended to use which require different containers than what he created his fine piece of payware for.
An endeavor I might add that would almost be impossible without third-party tools in railworks:hehe:
In Trainz it's just as easy as loading it up in CCP and editing to your hearts content…
Yes, I'm always looking around while running, especially on a nice warm day when the girls are wearing shorts.
It depends on the terrain and the conditions. Running out across Ohio and Indiana you can see for a mile or more during the day. At night you can see even farther looking at the lights. I remember the first time, running an intermodal train toward Chicago at 60 mph and watching the marker on the train I'm following, flash and he was at least 4 or 5 miles ahead of me.
my opinion of railworks 2 : i've played this game for 2 weeks now, i really really really like it, i like the F3 window below wich shows you the next station, the graphics are good, all goes smooth and i finally can stop at a station on time.
the instructions you get are readable and short. ( fonts in trainz are a bit small , and to much text to read)
there are also enough freeware routes available via uktrainsim.com ( you have to pay for a subsription).
other then that, i like trainz too, i have them all and will buy the next version too when it comes out.

I have both games. "Annoying" is part of the fun. Buy it!

Hi my dear retired guy,
You're one of the few (-fortunately increasing since some are converting to the funny side of playing just a game and quitting freakish couch train driving-) who undestand the true amusing and instructive use of this kind of forums. That's my kind, with the permisision of its owners, of course. :Y:The well-done said side of Alberte :wave:

You have to know that my real hobby is photography
AND I use both: Nikon and Canon :hehe:
My hobby is also photography, I used to use Pentax when I first started, but changed over to the Olympus OM system.
After using RailWorks for a little while i do so retract my statement a few pages back as i really don't think that RailWorks is as flexible as Trainz and also it doesn't give the user anywhere near the same amount of options .
In some area's the video looks good but understanding that there is nowhere near the amount of intense content that Trainz has on their routes and in spots the video is jerky.
So Trainz is the big winner by far .
My computer overclocked over cooked and over baked and has all the gear
so the computer is not a factor in how the 2 games compared
Trainz wins hands down

Good choise too
You are right: RW has some "stutter". The graphic load is less in Trainz... I do not overclock or over coock
My pc is fast enough.Must admit I did chuckle when someone commented they could do with more of these discussions. Oh really?! Where has he been considering this is around the fifth reincarnation? (!).However I must in the terms of wide opinion accept that the repeated repeats of what becomes mundane is part of the chat. The need to constantly bring such back is beyond my reasonable gey cells (thanks toe Hercule Poiret). After the third thread I sighed with relief but I did so too soon!
