Train Simulator Classic and Train Sim World 3 Discussion

It's fun but for "Train Simulator Classic", it can be unforgiving.  There is one Japanese add on DLC "The Story of Forest Rail" (this is the only one that is not an actual realistic train) in which you use an old bus converted to a train in the countryside of Japan.  I think you have to drive the train which keeps on breaking down when it overheats and getting back up for I believe which is like an hour and 40 minutes or so. 



Granted, you can hit escape and pause but my goodness it's such a long ride on the countryside that you just want to fall asleep.  But what I mean by "unforgiving", when I got towards the end, there are two train stops and the second to the last, I didn't slow down in time and barely went past the station stop by inches, but I failed the mission and I have to do it all over again.  Considering how long it took....ughh..

It took so long just to fail.  Train Simulator Classic really does a great job giving you that experience and feeling of being control of a train but like in real life, a mistake can cost you. 

That's why I'm playing "Train Sim World 3" more now...because if I accidentally forget to switch A/C to D/C for the pantograph, I have seconds to correct it.  And I can continue on my mission of driving passengers to another train stop (you lose points, rather than lose the game).  Whereas "Train Simulator Classic", mistakes are barely tolerated.  Also, TSW3...missions are not too long.  30-40 min. is long but anything past an hour or hour and half....can be a drag.
