    a game with a wide community, gives the feel of playing on a low spec computer, as well as a lot of support from mod developers, this game never goes away, the game can be customized, the graphics are quite stunning, the complex details of the game are really taken care of, I really appreciate the developer for making this legendary game.

    It is a very charming simulator, whilst old it honestly hold sup better than most modern day simulators. With the DLS still going there's still a lot to download and create for others. 10/10

    It's good and all, but I wouldn't recommend getting this now if you want to play with mod stuff, because basically none of the community made content is able to be downloaded, I mean, you can still download stuff, but only a small amount of it works, Don't get it if you have the intent of playing with mod locos, get TS2019 instead.
