If you care to look at the technical blurb on the Kuju RS site you'll see that the supported platforms are XP and Vista.
It's also worth pointing out that, in this case, it doesn't really matter how heavilly detailed the locos are so long as the graphics engine is good enough to move them around quickly enough.
If you read some of the stuff people are posting - instead of simply defaulting to your natural "hammer KRS at all costs mode" - you'll notice that some have reported that the FPS of Rail Sim is actually pretty impressive. Far better, in fact, than TRS.

A layout I am working on....
If you notice the traffic, vehicles actually have headlights at night. Also they are on the road unlike TRS which has its traffic floating in the air above the road. I know there are pros and cons with each simulator but for my money I think KRS has done a better job. First off laying track is a lot better and your junctions look like real junctions. I know TRS has a junction kit which does the same, but KRS does it automatically. And yes framerates are better in KRS even with all settings at max. I will still have TRS on my system but will not use it as much as I did before I got KRS.

What about the TC cars, they have working headlights.
Ok so they have headlights on TC but are they on the road or floating 1m above the road?

Depends what road you are using.
While I certainly agree a lot is at the hands of the artist, it is a drastic oversimplification to say that you can produce anything you want. Each engine has technical limitations and features the artist can be hindered by or be helped by. Visually the Railsim engine has some features such as procedurally generated shadows, better bump maps and newish (V3) shaders that just aren't currently available on Trainz. People do have a point when they talk about the visual quality of RS being better, those new features will make content designed for them look better in an apples to apples content compairison.
Threw it open to check...
On a relatively steep slant you lose the headlights in one direction but the cars will stay on the road.
What makes you think we are arguing. We are just discussing a few different sims and what they are able to do.
Compudoc
On the contrary. I think this discussion is just what the community needs. It's nothing if not cathartic!
It's only when you start to flesh-out the pros and cons of other products, like KRS, that you begin to realise how and why we can (and must) make TRS better.
There's no doubt that Rail Sim has raised the bar in a couple of areas. We, as the TRS community, can either acknowledge and appreciate what Kuju have done and then try to take our own sim forward, or (as some may prefer) we can bury our heads in the sand and hope it will all go away.
If we do that the only things that will go away are members of this community.

Coerni .. perhaps the question should be > can the average trainzer do what you can do .. Answer = No .
Most of the guys posting in this thread do not have your abilities , and are looking at what they get in the box .

You are nasty...... but right.
But BlueNeon does have a point. On the other hand if the average user can see the shortcomings in a piece of software the producer should start looking into major updates/patches ASAP.

Just one question, Compudoc: What the hell are you still doing here?

You are right that most Trainzers don't have those abilities, but the point is that Trainz can support this.

A fact that Auran also know . Many suggestions have been made in the past to include more plugin scripts to allow users without the abilities of coerni and the handful of other talented scripters to access some of the many features available .... How many of those scripts do you see included in any release of Trainz ???
BN
TRS2006 included lots of unencrypted scripts by myself and Bloodnok (and others). If you are hoping to able to use scripts without knowing anything about scripting you'll be out of luck.
The TRS2006 scripts included Bluestar couplers and pipes, AWS support, support for animated brake gear including the handling of flyshunting, texture swapping, random numbering, pfx when unloading, working water fillers for tenders, marker lights for diesel locos, headcode lamps for steam locos, and examples of how to pass messages between the locos and attached meshes. And that's just the Rail-sim stuff off the top of my head.
