Train Simulator 2016, on the other hand, has paid DLC.
#Microsoft train simulator 2013 torrent professional
Some of the add-ons cost money, but a majority of them are free - and not only are they free, but many are professional in quality of textures, modeling, and physics. There are complete engine overhauls and total modifications that fix bugs, improve mechanics, and add functionalities that the original game engine never even supported. There are hundreds of highly detailed models of trains from all over the world, along with tons of rail lines both imagined and those modeled after their real-world counterparts. The reason the original game is still alive is because of a dedicated community of modders, coders, graphics designers, modelers, and rail fans. And it's not because the developers still produce add-on content: ACES, the studio Microsoft put in charge of Flight Simulator and Train Simulator, was shuttered in 2009. Not because Microsoft still supports the game: a sequel announced in 2002 was cancelled in 2004, and another sequel announced in 2007 never happened. And, again, that game shipped almost one-and-a-half decades ago.Īs for Dovetail Games whining about making money on add-on content? Well, Microsoft Train Simulator is still going strong after all this time. So Microsoft Train Simulator pretty much beats Train Simulator 2016 hands down for content.

Let's compare this to Microsoft Train Simulator, which released in 2001 with six tracks and nine locomotives (and a later update added two more train sets). So if, say, you really prefer passenger routes, then you've already lost half of what little content there is. One steam route through England, one diesel route through the United States, and one electric route through Germany: two passenger routes, and two cargo routes. What can you expect to find when you play? In the base game, there are three tracks and six locomotives (the remaining trains are variants of those six). So let's say you've got the game up and running. I'm a pretty huge rail sim fan, but even I'm not going to pay $40 (that's 89% of the cost of the 'full' game!) for one new route with one new train. (And you thought EA's day-zero season pass for Battlefront was bad.) I know it takes time and money to recreate miles and miles of track, to model/paint/code different trains, program the AI, design the scenery, to record sound effects, and make sure it all fits in the game, but the price of the DLC feels like a kick in the teeth to fans of rail simulators. In other words, to get the "complete" experience for Train Simulator 2016, you have to spend one hundred and twenty times the cost of the game on DLC.

The total cost of all the DLC, at full price, is $5,415.51.

But let's just get one thing clear right off the bat: Train Simulator 2016 currently has 249 pieces of DLC, ranging in price from $5 to $40. Unfortunately, I don't think the editors would let me run with an article titled, "DLC Hoarder 2016"-even though that is perhaps a far more accurate title for this game.
