Do you know I think if everyone tries really hard, that fine sentiment is achievable.a balanced discussion
Pretty much all those add-ons that Lackoo111 metioned are freeware on Trainz. A lot are even built in.
I am under the impression that all the RW add-on packs are payware ? And there is little freeware ?
Blast from the past - note that this is for those who are interested, if reading about Trainz VS Railworks causes you to have a conniption fit, don't click on the link.

And what do users want? Certainly, there is not THE one user. There is a wide range of user wishes. Some have their own understanding of what a railway simulation should be like. Many others are quite receptive to marketing campaigns. I think it's part of the game industry to be suggestive or even manipulative to attract potential customers.The concensus appears that each sim has its advantages and disadvantages depending upon what the user wants.

When Trainz started more than a decade ago, initial marketing promoted it as a model railway simulator. Was it because MSTS claimed to be the prototype simulator and was published half a year earlier? Anyway, I didn't want a model railway simulator and abstained from Trainz. I did not purchase any copy of Trainz until TRS2004 when marketing had changed. No more "layouts" but "routes" now. It's often the details that make the difference.
Over there at RS/RW, Kuju tried to sell RS as the most "realistic" simulator ever. I think in those early days, despite the project being in deep trouble, they were quite ambitious, even advertised in Railnews, a railway industry newspaper in the UK. You probably remember signalling with "all the bells and whistles". As it turned out, it didn't quite work that way. Nowadays they still talk of realism, but realism today is raindrops or light and shadow. And some users do follow.
