We love that you get snow being drifted off the back of the trains as you pass by at speed!Įach train included is fun and engaging to drive and this is taken further with the changeable driving factors. However, the sky and weather enhancements make all the difference, we like how the weather can change rapidly and this changes a lot of driving physics so you definitely need to keep an eye on things. Graphics wise, it is similar to other TSW games. We like how you can either narrow it down by route or loco to easily drive where or what you want. It is simple yet effective, and can get you into your favourite train straight away.

What is the newest Train Sim World like in general use then? Well first things first – the new menu system is so much better than before. Sounds for the various trains and locos are great – we felt the Class 66s horn was a little soft but this could be fixed in a future update (we also heard some odd jumps in audio with the 66 – maybe connected the FPS issue above?) General Gameplay Having said the above, Dovetail is constantly sending out updates which is great to see when spending quite a large amount of money on the game.Īll the animations in the game are smooth and high quality, walking through the the various trains is lovely and you can see the hard work that has gone into modelling them. We have already reviewed Spirit of Steam for TSW2, and unfortunately, some of the detail on that route is still missing (IE some areas feel a little empty of trains / vegetation – and the fireman still carries an empty shovel), but as for SouthEastern High Speed – this is a lovely route to drive with great scenery and enjoyable scenarios.Īs for Cajon Pass and Schnellfahrstrecke, whilst we normally prefer UK routes, we enjoyed our time testing out the routes – Cajon Pass can be challenging with its heavy loads and gradients. We noticed that occasionally, the FPS counter would dip, and the screen would go fuzzy for a second and then return to the 40-60fps we have come to expect from TSW – so maybe just a map load issue. With new skies and variable weather, all routes in TSW3 continue to play well.
