#RRMODS RAILWORKS DOWNLOAD SIMULATOR#

Trainz deals with the downloading and installation of its content through an application called the 'Download Station' or the 'Content Manager.' Once you get past its crude appearance and memorize the controls, its actually a pretty useful tool. Frustrated and looking around on the internet, I saw screenshots of beautiful routes and stunning locomotives. Railworks has very fluid controls and the controls for Trainz felt sluggish and forced. The controls and layout were confusing and meddlesome, with the zoom feature greatly limited in its range.

The included routes and rolling stock had unrealistic textures and recycled sounds.

My first impressions of the simulator were actually quite poor.

I am starting to explore the simulator, and so I will share some of my observations about the program. So, I have decided to focus on Trainz 2012 which has by now a lot of routes, rolling stock and assets available. 'Trainz: A New Era' is the current title but at the moment there is not a great deal of content available and there is a general 'controversy' about its promised quality. Trainz is a unique simulator in that it never really got the amount of attention that MSTS and Railworks received, yet there is something about it that has drawn me in time and again. There are other simulators like Run8 that are just starting out, however they either have very little content available right now or do not appeal to me for various reasons. It seems too complicated and not quite worth getting into at this point, although I do appreciate the amount of content available for the sim. I never got into MSTS (Microsoft Train Simulator) as my interests were in other places when it was at its peak. There have always been other options in the realm of Railroad Simulation, all with their own offerings, weak points and promises. Railworks is still my bread and butter, however.

I have adapted to both repainting and route creating, and have turned out some content that had made both myself and others happy. I have grown very used to its dynamics, and even some of its quirks and shortcomings don't really bother me anymore. For all of my 'career' as a railroad simulator content creator (short though it may be) my simulator of choice has been Railworks Train Simulator.
