Never ever more I'll buy anything from Dovetail.TSW3 is a scam, what should have been a patch, is a paid game at full price. Very disappointed at them and looking forward for a new alternative.
As you say it's a game changer, only going to grow bigger and better and one day the editor will come out, something Dovetail failed on big time. The multiplayer is amazing.
Imo ta gra jest nie dopracowana na tyle by dało by się ją ocenić. Spoko, pendolino, Warszawa, Katowice, ale nadal ma sporo błędów i rzeczy do po prawienia więc nie jest na tyle by gadać że jest spoko
The EP07 isn't Soviet. It's actually British! It is a British Rail Class 83 built in Poland under a license :) The first (called EU06) 20 were made in England and shipped to Poland.
Yes like the idea that the AI can take over your driving and that you can watch it [drive along]. Love the signaller aspect and would like to be able to be a "passenger" [like you said]. Looks very good [speaking as a retired UK driver].
14:50 fun fact: it is actually based on one british locomotive, the BR class 83, 20 were bought and later produced first under british license and later as an upgraded locomotive
Displays are somewhat functional. In Pendolino you can click buttons below the screens, in Traxx you can go to locomotive options on left screen and also change light/dark mode for the screens, in Dragon there are few options you can activate from right screen (like change power source from panto to "last-mile" engine that actually works) and in Elf... well you can only turn on and off passenger compartment lights. Small tip that most people don't know about it. You can rotate 3rd person camera in X/Y axis by holding middle mouse button.
I’ve never been into trains that much (I just love a good sim) but when the EU07 came up I froze. Every single time I traveled anywhere during my childhood I was pulled by one of these beasts and they’ve done it SO WELL. It’s like they scanned memories of Polish millenials to convey the bittersweetness of 90’s and 00’s PKP. The whole company is like one of the biggest memes in Polish culture of that time.
Run8 has had MP with dispatching for over 10 years so this isn't a new concept but new for something that looks this good. I've been enjoying my time with SimRail and I think they have tons of potential and dispatching is a blast.
I was just in Japan and taking their various trains locally around Tokyo and I took a Shinkansen 150mph to Nagano and took their subway train which has 180 degree viewing areas front and rear. The train systems in Japan are incredible.
I really like this sim and I think it did one huge thing - it showed ppl that MP in train sim IS possible and fun (I know about Run-8 but its more of a niche product).
this used to be my favourite channel on youtube. and in many ways it still is. been here pretty much sinch 2012. and the start of the euro truck videos. its so sad its become so quiet now. i wish squirrel would revisit euro truck that would be awesome. the 70 ton log and the Rostock disaster were my my favourite videos lol anyway hope you are keeping well squirrel many thanks for all the amazing videos
Good to see you're back! Been looking everywhere and no mention of your whereabouts. So excited for a new rail sim. Dovetail having the monopoly for the last 10+ years has been dissappointing to say the least. Here's hoping these guys take the crown and deliver a product deserving of sale in 2023.

There's another polish simulator which is free and multiplayer with supporting both driver as well as dispatcher. It's called TrainDriver 2 and it's been released a few years ago, but you need to understand much more of technical details and some laws too.
Squirrel, you can walk freely on board of a train. Just stand up from a chair by pressing E and then just click on doors which leads to passager section. :)
EU/EP07 series were bulit in Poland on licence from UK which bulit EU06 for PKP which is basically the same loco with minor changes to electical equipment
My dad is a train driver. When i was a kid (talking about the 90s) i used to go with him to work. And let me tell you. This is the most realistic train simulator ive seen. I drove a loco called Szili (in hungary), Gigant and Taurus. Szili works the same way as the old loco in this one with the shunt. It was funny hearing your reaction about the wheel makes u go faster. Gigant still has the same wheel, but no shunt, and Taurus is the more modern one with the sticks. The only thing i missed a bit is the constant ticking of the tachograph :) Great looking game so far!
Swedish traindriver here! That speedometer on the old loco is the same that we have on our older locos and it even makes the same sound (the ticking), awsome!
Those different color cars in the old train are not there by mistake or from other train sets. The colors of the cars actually meant what class they were - red were first class and green were second class. It is also indicated with big numbers on their sides
Servers reset every 6 hours Squirre;, GMT+1. You have to try dispatching on a quiet server Squirrel, starting small and working up to Bedzin and Sos Glo etc. A brain work out whilst gaming! Nice review too, this is 3 weeks old and generally better than most train sims to date...plus you must've noticed the 'editor' selection in the menu? It WILL be a thing in the future. Polish up on those Blender skills!
Since the games release, I have been really enjoying it has a lot of potential. Looking to more of it and future release of different countries into this sim.
Great first look! I just recently discovered railroad simulations and saw someone say this one beats Train Sim World in some regards. If SimRail devs open up for the mod community to create trains and routes/landscapes this will become an instant buy. Pretty promising what you can see already.
The reason you need the throttle to go "green" is because EU07 is an old DC locomotive, meaning it has no thyristors or asynchronous motors (the thing that goes wheeeeeeeee on modern electric rolling stock) nor it has tap changers like the British AC electrics such as the class 86. Instead it uses rheostatic control, i.e the traction motor voltage is controlled by succesively cutting out resistor banks as you increase the power handle (wheel) notch by notch. It goes green (and the rheostat light on the panel goes off) when you're in a notch at which all the resistors are cut out. There are three or four such notches across the movement range, corresponding to series, series-paralell and parallel connection, separated each by a few "rheostatic" notches (and there is also the weak field control, which the English translation is incorrectly calling "shunt", in the EU07 it's a separate lever just besides the power wheel) The reason you should reach the non-rheostatic notch as soon as practical (without tripping the overcurrent relay) is the resistor banks heat up like crazy and you can smoke them up. In old rheostatic EMUs (like the British class 315 or the upcoming Polish EN57) the resistors are cut out automatically, because the controller camshaft (which on the EU07 is operated directly, hence the wheel and so many power notches) is rotated by an electric motor connected in a such way that it will stop cutting the resistors out if the traction motor amperage is too high, and depending on the notch you select, it will progress to the non-rheostatic series, paralell or weak-field automatically. You also sometimes have the SHUNT notch as on the LUL C68 stock, which keeps some of the resistors cut in to limit speed, primarily for shunting as the name suggests, but shouldn't be used continuously for overheat protection, as mentioned above
15:04 Small remark on EU07. This loco is not Soviet tech, but British. This is a bit improved, licensed from English Electric Class 83 loco. It was produced till 1994 and is still in passanger operation with PKP TLK brand trains. They are also widely used for intermodal freight.
Squirrel, you did a wonderful job of reviewing this product. The SIM looks like it is quite immersive. Thanks for showing us your review. Happy training and flying.
I'm blown away that it's done in Unity. Very nice sim, only issue I have is random disconnects in Multiplayer (mostly on Australian server it would seem).
The issue i always have with train sims is that they cost thousands of dollars if you want to enjoy it. They give you 3 or so basic routes for free that usually are boring af with a train or 5. All the rest you have to buy as "dlc" usually costing as much as the game itself was.
Thuis game became my fav right away. The details, the sound, the overhead wires... it all fits and is close to real. Even the old electric.. love m more than modern on es. Still waiting for a dutch railway sim though.... grumblegrumble
Would love one through Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. But yes NL would also be very interesting. For me UK, Germany and NA is a bit overdone for me, which is why it's really nice with Poland now, something new and different (even if I have played some of the free Polish train sims out there).
Hello Squirell, I would like to thank you for your excellent flight sim tutorial vids. They have been a great help for me getting into the sim using honeycomb controls on series X. I hope you are well as I have noticed your videos are far less frequent these days. Thank you
So much potential here, so good to see a worthy challenger to DTG. I'm definitely interested in this game. One thing does seem to be missing so far, which might actually be possible somewhere sometime: co-driving a train. Something that's also missing from MSFS 2020. It could be possible somewhere down the line, and it would be realistic. Because of the dispatcher mode, it's a possibility.
I bought the game. Great video and it looks amazing. I hope they'll come out with mods and different tracks from around the world. New York and Tokyo would be amazing, the fact that it's 1:1 scale, wow!
The “dispatcher” is actually a signaler a dispatcher stands on the platform and makes sure the passengers are loaded safely and the doors close properly
An interesting but for multi-player.... Rather than making a selection to do what you want, join a session freely and choose from there. Be a passenger for a couple stations, then get off, check the station office for open seats to dispatch, or check a schedule of next upcoming locomotives that are available to operate by a player.
If it starts getting the route and rolling stock variety that dtg train sim has, i can see this replacing it for me. And i know that will take a while. Otherwise the multiplayer, at least for me is an immediate plus, even better if in the future I could do that with some of the routes I use dtg train sim for
I saw this on Steam a few weeks ago and it got my interest... I still miss the amount of community made content for MSTS. It was growing for Train Simulator, but then Dovetail really messed all that up with their licence change and everyone lost interest. If this game ends up with the ability to create and easily install 3rd party content, I can see it being much more popular than Dovetail's offerings.
This seems like something like VATSIM for train sim, which is amazing. Can't wait to see where this goes, and hopefully they open it up to third party devs in the future.
Let me clear the EU07/EP07 locomotive tutorial based on what the Polish community told foreign players To add power from stand still, put the wheel on the first notch, then add more notches slowly until notch 28 while watching the amps to not exceed 600 amps. After notch 28, you can add more notches, and the max amps allowed now is 1200 amps. After the final notch of 43, you can add more power by adding the "shunting regulator". The shunting regulator is effective for adding power at notch 43, below that it's only adding a little bit of power. If you're just coasting, put the wheel at notch 28 or 43 so the locomotive can stabilize.
this is a very exciting new train game. I found the early access price of $35 is kind of pricy a game still in development, and no telling if it will ever get to the finish line. If the price could be around $20, it will get a lot more interest in the early access stage which get them some cash infusion while still in development. I think the long team cash revenue will be scenery from different parts of the world, in a way similar to what MS flight sim had been doing.
That would be a pretty cool concept of passengers - either being a passenger or driving a train of real passenger players. You'd have to do the annoucements!
In my opinion, Dovetail's train sim world still looks & feels arcade-ish. This looks very promising and I hope it focuses more on being a sim rather than spitting out as many routes as possible to make more money. Also, I don't see hardly any difference between train sim world 1,2,3. Kind of like FIFA, recycling the game and trying to sell it as 'new'.
Train Sim World with a bigger number is just updates of the old version, like Train Simulator gets every year his update ... except for Train Simulator, you "just" had to play for new maps and vehicle. The update itself was awaylable for everyone that just ones payed for the game. With Train Sim World you have to pay for the update itself. I do not own TSW and will probably never do.
I play TSW and really enjoy it but i highly object to having to shell out for TSW3 just to play the new Glasgow to Edinburgh DLC when my existing copy of TSW2 allows me to drive all the other routes. Bringing out a new base game and forcing existing players to buy it in order to add new routes is morally dubious.
Simrail is an absolutely beautiful Simulator!! Everything is 100% This blows dovetail games Train sim world right out of the park as this sim is on a whole new level. I simply cannot wait to see what the future holds for this simulator ❤️❤️
Looks really good and sounds promising for future content... Especially looking at that kind of multiplayer I´d love if this would expand on the same "map" and not with single scenarios... imagine how cool that would be...
at around the 15 minute mark, the red car has a yellow band on top, if it is like here in Hungary, that gotta be a first class car :D (Wider seats usually)
I got the "SimRail: Prologue" thing before simrail released and it was laggy af and everyone in the steam forum thought the game was abandoned but now I'm seeing it working way better
14:35 Definietly not a Soviet locomotive ;) EU07's are based on EU06 which are English locomotives. EU07 were made in Poland under the English Electrics license.
As soon as I heard Poland I was like no way my grandparents home. Country may actually watch and maybe looking to getting this game being the fact of Polish descent
On a discord for this game and there is one there I play with that's from Warsaw and he even said there is a yard soon with containers in real life when another one streamed him playing Warsaw section for the first time, and lo and behold there were the container yard with the containers in the game! :)
Great first look video as always! This looks fantastic. I would love a train sim where you could just join in multiplayer as a passanger. Instant add to my wishlist. Regarding the frame rates. 85fps might seem great but it is pretty misleading since you are running a 3090 Ti in 1080 resolution (which should be considered low res these days). If you did not have great fps this game would be unplayable for most people. This should be underlined more.
Give me a route towards Terespol which is east of Warsaw and I'll jump back into it. Multiplayer doesn't really interest me all that much but driving along a route that I've taken myself multiple times sounds super interesting. Mods would also be great.
@@AshleyWincer they do support and update successfully (profitable) games they publish like car mechanic sim so this may be true about train sim. But they're greedy af with those, just like dtg
For an EA game, It looks fantastic, this is definitely going on the wishlist, I did however pop to squirrel plus and man, watching you play this for the " first time" was funny AF, hope you will do some more on this in MP 👍👍
We definitely need a good alternative to TSW. These graphics look outdated and glitchy tho. Just pay attention to the weird headlight from the train on the tracks when he's at the first station, as well as all the flickering on the ceiling. The lighting in general just looks very last gen "video gamy", and not very realistic IMO. Also, there so much object popping even very close to the train and it is distracting and immersion breaking. Don't know if this is a limitation of the engine of if hopefully they can still fix all this in the final version.
I haven't bought it yet as I have had enough bad experiences with early access games. I think the most important thing will be if they decide to open this up to the modding community or not. If they do, then this could become great. Until all that has become clearer I will hold off and watch from the sidelines with interest.
Squirrel, you've got to do a Run 8 video! It's the most physics-accurate railsim, has multiplayer, and was actually the first to do proper dispatching (and up until now, the only sim to allow for multiplayer dispatching)
re: the shadows of the leaves, it's almost too perfect which can itself result in something looking artificial. light isn't hitting the side of the loco from a single point source but reflected off all nearby objects so the shadow maybe would not be so dark and distinct.
fun shadow story, I had a refractor telescope in my backyard observing an annular eclipse of the sun by projecting onto a white card. Annular is when the moon is at a far distance in its elliptical orbit such that it does not block the whole disc of the sun but shows a ring of sun around it. One fun thing to do is to look at the ground under tree leaves, since instead of dappled light, the shadow of tree foliage is a bunch of ringlets which is hard to describe but very interesting to see.
If they let third party devs make routes and vehicles for this... it'll be a game changer. Looks really nice.
They are already people working on addons.
100% agree. Great to see more investment in the railways sims.
It would be a banger indeed, but in order to pay the third party dev team, the price of the game would have to bang your wallet as well :(
@@Surfingnet Can't be worse than Dovetail DLCs...
Changing the game will be a game changer.
It's got so much potential and actually feels like a sim. If as you say, they do open it up to third parties, game over for TSW.

15:04 Small remark on EU07. This loco is not Soviet tech, but British. This is a bit improved, licensed from English Electric Class 83 loco. It was produced till 1994 and is still in passanger operation with PKP TLK brand trains. They are also widely used for intermodal freight.
Squirrel, you did a wonderful job of reviewing this product. The SIM looks like it is quite immersive. Thanks for showing us your review. Happy training and flying.
I'm blown away that it's done in Unity. Very nice sim, only issue I have is random disconnects in Multiplayer (mostly on Australian server it would seem).
I love the level of detail in the cabin!
Looks really cool - graphics look nice - I'm sure I would have to tame down the settings but the fact it's 1:1 is crazy-realistic!
The issue i always have with train sims is that they cost thousands of dollars if you want to enjoy it. They give you 3 or so basic routes for free that usually are boring af with a train or 5. All the rest you have to buy as "dlc" usually costing as much as the game itself was.
Good to see back mate 👍
Thuis game became my fav right away. The details, the sound, the overhead wires... it all fits and is close to real.
Even the old electric.. love m more than modern on es.
Still waiting for a dutch railway sim though.... grumblegrumble
Would love one through Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. But yes NL would also be very interesting. For me UK, Germany and NA is a bit overdone for me, which is why it's really nice with Poland now, something new and different (even if I have played some of the free Polish train sims out there).
Hello Squirell, I would like to thank you for your excellent flight sim tutorial vids. They have been a great help for me getting into the sim using honeycomb controls on series X. I hope you are well as I have noticed your videos are far less frequent these days. Thank you
So much potential here, so good to see a worthy challenger to DTG. I'm definitely interested in this game.
One thing does seem to be missing so far, which might actually be possible somewhere sometime: co-driving a train. Something that's also missing from MSFS 2020. It could be possible somewhere down the line, and it would be realistic. Because of the dispatcher mode, it's a possibility.
Run 8 can have multiple players in the same train
I bought the game. Great video and it looks amazing. I hope they'll come out with mods and different tracks from around the world. New York and Tokyo would be amazing, the fact that it's 1:1 scale, wow!
It will be nice to see if they do routes from other countries in the future
The “dispatcher” is actually a signaler a dispatcher stands on the platform and makes sure the passengers are loaded safely and the doors close properly
An interesting but for multi-player.... Rather than making a selection to do what you want, join a session freely and choose from there. Be a passenger for a couple stations, then get off, check the station office for open seats to dispatch, or check a schedule of next upcoming locomotives that are available to operate by a player.
20:09 fun fact: the steering wheel is actually from a car
If it starts getting the route and rolling stock variety that dtg train sim has, i can see this replacing it for me. And i know that will take a while. Otherwise the multiplayer, at least for me is an immediate plus, even better if in the future I could do that with some of the routes I use dtg train sim for
"take the crown from dovetail"
That's a pretty low bar honestly, it's surprising nobody else has managed it.
Great to hear from you squirrel
I saw this on Steam a few weeks ago and it got my interest...
I still miss the amount of community made content for MSTS. It was growing for Train Simulator, but then Dovetail really messed all that up with their licence change and everyone lost interest.
If this game ends up with the ability to create and easily install 3rd party content, I can see it being much more popular than Dovetail's offerings.
This seems like something like VATSIM for train sim, which is amazing. Can't wait to see where this goes, and hopefully they open it up to third party devs in the future.
Let me clear the EU07/EP07 locomotive tutorial based on what the Polish community told foreign players
To add power from stand still, put the wheel on the first notch, then add more notches slowly until notch 28 while watching the amps to not exceed 600 amps.
After notch 28, you can add more notches, and the max amps allowed now is 1200 amps.
After the final notch of 43, you can add more power by adding the "shunting regulator". The shunting regulator is effective for adding power at notch 43, below that it's only adding a little bit of power.
If you're just coasting, put the wheel at notch 28 or 43 so the locomotive can stabilize.
"This train is from a complete different era".. apart from Poland still runs them in 2023
Some good stuff Paul! Looks like I'm going to get back into train sims
Great to have you back posting
this is a very exciting new train game. I found the early access price of $35 is kind of pricy a game still in development, and no telling if it will ever get to the finish line. If the price could be around $20, it will get a lot more interest in the early access stage which get them some cash infusion while still in development. I think the long team cash revenue will be scenery from different parts of the world, in a way similar to what MS flight sim had been doing.
$20? You do realize with inflation that's not much anymore right?
Btw The eu07 is based on Eu06, which was based on the BR class 83
This game looks absolutely incredible!
Squirrel! Happy to see you again, hope all is good. Love your videos!
Mods adding trains beyond Poland would make this game corner the sim industry for a while. It has the potential to become the DCS of trains.
There are already routes in other countries in the making (St. Paul-La Crosse and Wegliniec-Görlitz-Dresden)
As a Pole I would say that the models of Pendolino and Warsaw central station are really impressive
Nice to have you back Paul.
That would be a pretty cool concept of passengers - either being a passenger or driving a train of real passenger players. You'd have to do the annoucements!
In my opinion, Dovetail's train sim world still looks & feels arcade-ish. This looks very promising and I hope it focuses more on being a sim rather than spitting out as many routes as possible to make more money.
Also, I don't see hardly any difference between train sim world 1,2,3. Kind of like FIFA, recycling the game and trying to sell it as 'new'.
weell if you do a deep dive in the dev team of devertail youll see fast they are prick and like to sit on there ass sadly
Train Sim World with a bigger number is just updates of the old version, like Train Simulator gets every year his update ... except for Train Simulator, you "just" had to play for new maps and vehicle. The update itself was awaylable for everyone that just ones payed for the game. With Train Sim World you have to pay for the update itself. I do not own TSW and will probably never do.
@@PMV87 same
I play TSW and really enjoy it but i highly object to having to shell out for TSW3 just to play the new Glasgow to Edinburgh DLC when my existing copy of TSW2 allows me to drive all the other routes. Bringing out a new base game and forcing existing players to buy it in order to add new routes is morally dubious.
Arcade = word with 0 meaning
Simrail is an absolutely beautiful Simulator!! Everything is 100% This blows dovetail games Train sim world right out of the park as this sim is on a whole new level. I simply cannot wait to see what the future holds for this simulator ❤️❤️
Looks really good and sounds promising for future content... Especially looking at that kind of multiplayer I´d love if this would expand on the same "map"
and not with single scenarios... imagine how cool that would be...
It's honestly a great game, I played the playtest then got the game! I think it's the best train simulator!!!
I hope that this is a series
Look who's back! Been a while mate😁. Was just watching your My summer car and Transport fever 2 videos wondering when you'll upload next.
at around the 15 minute mark, the red car has a yellow band on top, if it is like here in Hungary, that gotta be a first class car :D (Wider seats usually)
Run 8 has driver and dispatcher modes.for multiplayer.
Happy new year squirrel 2023
I want a train sim where I can make my own train layouts. I was very disappointed when i couldn't do this in train sim world 3.
I got the "SimRail: Prologue" thing before simrail released and it was laggy af and everyone in the steam forum thought the game was abandoned but now I'm seeing it working way better
14:35 Definietly not a Soviet locomotive ;) EU07's are based on EU06 which are English locomotives. EU07 were made in Poland under the English Electrics license.
Kah-toh-veetz-uh my dude xD
This looks really cool! I was looking into getting into a train sim and youtube recommends me this, thanks Squirrel!
As soon as I heard Poland I was like no way my grandparents home. Country may actually watch and maybe looking to getting this game being the fact of Polish descent
On a discord for this game and there is one there I play with that's from Warsaw and he even said there is a yard soon with containers in real life when another one streamed him playing Warsaw section for the first time, and lo and behold there were the container yard with the containers in the game! :)
They need to implement VR when they are done with early access (taking derail valley as example)!
Great first look video as always! This looks fantastic. I would love a train sim where you could just join in multiplayer as a passanger. Instant add to my wishlist. Regarding the frame rates. 85fps might seem great but it is pretty misleading since you are running a 3090 Ti in 1080 resolution (which should be considered low res these days). If you did not have great fps this game would be unplayable for most people. This should be underlined more.
Not unplayable for most people but people with a low end computer might struggle.
Give me a route towards Terespol which is east of Warsaw and I'll jump back into it.
Multiplayer doesn't really interest me all that much but driving along a route that I've taken myself multiple times sounds super interesting. Mods would also be great.
It looks great. Hopefully they'll do an AMTRAK or NYC Subway version. Or even Melbourne, Australia..
You clearly don't know playway
@@airbornegr4815 You are right about that..
@@AshleyWincer they do support and update successfully (profitable) games they publish like car mechanic sim so this may be true about train sim. But they're greedy af with those, just like dtg
I love your videos. They're very interesting and relaxing. I wish you were more active with uploads.
He’s gone down in his uploads, shame it used to be a great channel, not anymore
Nice to have a good look at the settings menu! Reminds me of the old TotalBiscuit days. :D
depatcher is same as - Signal box operator/ signal man
Run 8 Trainsimulator has multiplayer and extensive dispatching, conducting, car humping and ops
For an EA game, It looks fantastic, this is definitely going on the wishlist, I did however pop to squirrel plus and man, watching you play this for the " first time" was funny AF, hope you will do some more on this in MP 👍👍
It's not an EA Game mate, it's a Polish Developer that made this game
@@turnipgaming9747 Early access
I've always wanted to get out of my seat and walk around inside the train and get out and walk around the stations in a train sim.
This "soviet looking" loco has British roots. Its predecessor EU06 was made by English Electric and is more or less similar to British class 83.
This looks incredible. Very pretty.
I love watching Trains so I am going to enjoy your video Squrriel
We definitely need a good alternative to TSW. These graphics look outdated and glitchy tho. Just pay attention to the weird headlight from the train on the tracks when he's at the first station, as well as all the flickering on the ceiling. The lighting in general just looks very last gen "video gamy", and not very realistic IMO. Also, there so much object popping even very close to the train and it is distracting and immersion breaking. Don't know if this is a limitation of the engine of if hopefully they can still fix all this in the final version.
I haven't bought it yet as I have had enough bad experiences with early access games. I think the most important thing will be if they decide to open this up to the modding community or not.
If they do, then this could become great.
Until all that has become clearer I will hold off and watch from the sidelines with interest.
3:02 200km/h in correct good sir :)
Yay, another First Look vid! Love to know what’s going on with simulation games, keep it up! :)
Squirrel, you've got to do a Run 8 video! It's the most physics-accurate railsim, has multiplayer, and was actually the first to do proper dispatching (and up until now, the only sim to allow for multiplayer dispatching)
"It's the most physics-accurate railsim"
You definitely forgot about Zusi 3 ;)
re: the shadows of the leaves, it's almost too perfect which can itself result in something looking artificial. light isn't hitting the side of the loco from a single point source but reflected off all nearby objects so the shadow maybe would not be so dark and distinct.
fun shadow story, I had a refractor telescope in my backyard observing an annular eclipse of the sun by projecting onto a white card. Annular is when the moon is at a far distance in its elliptical orbit such that it does not block the whole disc of the sun but shows a ring of sun around it. One fun thing to do is to look at the ground under tree leaves, since instead of dappled light, the shadow of tree foliage is a bunch of ringlets which is hard to describe but very interesting to see.
Actually EU-07 was built as a evolution of EU-06 which was built under a licence from English Electric.
I just picked this up, so long TSW, this sim is awesome.🥰
