Why bother buying a new TSW every single year, when you can just buy a long-term supported train-sim better than it, with only the price of one of its DLCs?

SimRail is an excellent train simulator based on the Polish railways. Train Sim World is honestly left in the dust by this simulator on several key things: 1. SimRail actually runs well. In TSW you will frequently experience stutters, in SimRail there is almost none of that. 2. Multiplayer is a huge feature in this simulator. Not only can you drive trains, you can also play as dispatcher and direct trains around the station you control. The people in game are friendly in my experience. 3. The DLC's are fairly priced. Where TSW easily charges you €40,- for a single route nowadays, SimRail asks way less. 4. The developers actually care about making the game better. TSW still has major bugs that have been present for years. In SimRail a lot of stuff gets fixed with each update and the developers are pretty open on the direction they're taking. There's tons of variation in stock to drive and again, the multiplayer will keep you busy for hours. Each time you drive a route in multiplayer it's different, cause of delays, slower trains ahead of you, getting pulled to the side cause you're the slower train etc. It's quite a dynamic experience. If you're looking for an interesting train simulator then I'd definitely recommend this one.

The game itself is excellent for realism in both driving and dispatching, and runs nicely on Archᵇᵗʷ via proton.

Puts Train Sim World to shame, full ETCS functionality on the ED250 is so awesome, and so is the multiplayer aspect.
