If I wanted to see what a certain area looked like I could always use YouTube. So I never really needed to go back to eye candy. Trainz didn't do nearly enough what I wanted to do at the time. I know some people do it, but Run8 enhanced everything I ever wanted in a sim since MSTS. Now I suppose there is now harm in running more than 1 sim. If the future of train simulation is coiming, who's future are you talking about? But here lies the issue I have with this tag line. I'll take AI any day over chirping birds and rocks in the water any day. What is substance to him is different to me. So do some adults, and yes running the same route over and over again with little to no traffic can even bore me. Now granted he is right, he is also a kid and they get bored easy. He said because I like to build things, you can't do that in Run8. My rebuttal to that was your Thomas set doesn't have anything close to that so why do you still do stuff with it. He says it's not real because it doesn't have rocks in the water, and mud, and wildlife, nature, etc. My son who will be 7 in July and loves trains finds Run8 boring.

So we know the eye candy will be good, thats nice.

But other than a couple of cars coupling, and seeing someting run into a pile of bricks not much to show to me. They boasted the unreal? graphics engine which was impressive. It also had everything that no other sim had. I got word that a new sim was in development, and it boasted to have all the physics if not better. Now granted I was curious and I had to check it out. I'm not sure if the subject it the tag line I heard, but it made me laugh.
