Trainz Driver 2

Trainz Driver 2 is the best train simulator for iOS out there! It is well worth the price, and you can get more content if you're not satisfied with the huge amount of content that it contains in the base game. But on the subject of DLC, I have a few things that I’d like to see made into DLC. First and foremost, I would like to see some DLC of the 20th Century Limited in either it's streamlined 1938 and/or 1940 schemes with the Dreyfuss Hudson or it's 1948 Two Tone Gray Scheme. (Or you could create both in separate DLCs, as I know you have the power to do that.) Along with the 20th Century Limited DLC, I would like them to have their own route/map of the world famous "water level route" along the Hudson River from Croton-Harmon Station to stations northward along the Hudson, as the scenery there is very, very beautiful. Secondly, I’d LOVE to see more content and routes based on Germany and Austria, but with a more modern theme. Think like, for example, ÖBB’s Railjet and DB’s ICE. If I saw a route on the Trainz 2 DLC marketplace that had a detailed Vienna Hbf in it, I’d tell you to shut up and take my money. Thirdly, Since you have both Paris Montparnasse and Paris Garé du Nord, you should add a DLC of Paris Gare de Lyon and the TGV Sud-Est in either it’s blue and gray livery or its iconic original orange and black paint scheme. These additions would make me and probably many other players very happy.

You know, this game brings back a lot of memories of trainz 2010 for the iOS Mac. Surprise that even though they are low graphics, that many trains and routes can run on just a smart phone. Yes, the sounds and the quality tend to be low, but some of the DLC is pretty good. My favorite one is the Amtrak F40PH with a Nathan Airchime old/newish cast P5A (probably) and HEP (head end power at 900 rpm) as well as superliner cars. I think this app is definitely a lot better than all the other train simulator apps out on the App Store. There is a lot of variety with this app. I have been a trainz customer since 2004, and this is the best way to kill time if you’re not in a hurry. I give this app five stars because it is just like playing the one on the computer. I know some have complained about the sounds and the details being inaccurate, but hey, it’s just on the app. If a real train sim buff (like me) wants to customize sounds, they can do so on the computer. It’s a little let down for me, but I can surely put up with it.

First off, I paid full price for this app and a bunch of dlc. I informed the company “winter in the alps” was broken years ago, yes years. It constantly says I need to redownload the dlc and the companies tech support confirmed the issue. I was told it wasn’t a priority to fix because they were not making enough money on this app. Now I see they are giving it away for free. The app won’t run in full screen on an iPad, they want you to buy another product for that, instead of making this one universal. Of course if you buy the other product you have to buy all the dlc over again. This is a greedy company that is terrible at their job, refuses outright to fix known bugs they admit are a problem, and refuses to conform to general Apple standards of making an app universal. It’s not even worth the free download, and for those of us who payed full price then wasted 5x more money on dlc, we were ripped off. Bottom line, they complain the product isn’t making any money and yet don’t support the product, so how can they expect people to continue to invest in it? Avoid. Oh and for the record, I also bought every trainz journey app, which means I have to waste huge amounts of storage space on my iPad downloading the same repetitive product assets over and over because they couldn’t make it one app with dlc in app purchases, using shared assets.

This game came as the best game on the App Store. I can't put my phone down when I'm playing it! Of course its nothing like TS 2016, but it well deserved a 5 star rating. Of course there's many things to fix like: The graphics, horns, cab views, the weird glitch with the Blue Comet. Thinking of the Blue Comet, I got it to work! I just got the Great Northern S-2 Steam Engine session and a weird lag brought me to the rail yard(I had already bought the Blue Comet) and I landed on the BC coach. It finally works now! There's one railroad in particular that I would love to have. The Denver and Rio Grande Western. When making a train simulator, you forget about the " Scenic Line of the World ". Or The Moffat Tunnel or The Royal Gorge or Cumbres pass! These things will make this game awesome. More steam engines could in cloud the K-36(D&RGW) the challenger(many railroad) the GG1. Please do must of these I would love to buy the 3rd game(if coming out with one). Again as I said, this game well deserved a 5 star.

After having grown up playing the original Trainz series on the PC for years, this is a refreshing return to it. Since I hadn’t tried the advanced driving modes before, I decided to try the tutorials on the app, and I will say that they were pretty straightforward and well-put-together, it helped me become familiar with how to operate everything fairly quickly. It’s also nice to be able to have the old “surveyor”/map-building tool included to create more places to run, as well as being able to download more content. One of the downsides, though, is that the selection of rolling stock may seem a bit limited in some areas, especially with steam locomotives (seriously, all you can offer is the Big Boy and that UGLY 4-8-2?!). Although extra content can be purchased, it’s a shame that some of locomotives &/or cars were’t included that were originally from the same PC games as others that did make it into the app.
