Kuju's new RailSimulator!

[swt458]

Has anyone purchased the aforementioned product?

If so i would love to hear your views.

Some have mentioned it is a mess of bugs etc.

Others

Seem to have a more positive experience.

Thanks

Of course it's got bugs, its a new game, all PC games have bugs. Service packs will follow. I'm getting it, so will be good. Sounds are abit dodgy, and the 47 cab is dire, but the 166 is nice Me wants a 37 though!

Its great, apart from the sounds which are dreadful. Kuju has gone to a lot of hype and kept us all waiting for ages, but to be honest it is way below expectations.

Firstly, all and i mean all sounds are poor and certainly worse than MSTS.

Secondly, whilst the graphics and detail are evident and stand out way above MSTS, you will soon find that there simply isn't enough to do. MSTS had this in the start and until Protrain etc produce add-on's the game/sim is useless.

Thirdly, every train you pass is the same and most of the sidings are empty,
eg. all the effort of modelling Old Oak Common, and leaving it completely empty.

At the moment, it is back to MSTS for me, until the extras come along, simply because of the variety of routes.

PS. not found any actual bugs, seems to load and run fine.

Sounds better to stick with MSTS at the moment thoug i shall get it next month myself see what i think

I've got it, my verdict.

For the graphics alone, I'd get it. By far the best i've seen. Bugs will hopefully be sorted out with a service pack. The sounds are dire, a real let down. Overall, 6/10, when the SPs get released, 9/10 (I hope!)

Just seen this notice , which i think will hit Kuju's rail sim, which is a great pity, as it desperatly needs decent addons

Bluesky Interactive, renowned for their ProTrain addon series, had announced two addons, just prior to the European release. Now they have announced that the development of addons has been put on hold indefinitely. A reason for this decision they said, is that not enough copies have been sold yet.

well what I saw of it, I am not impressed. I will stick to BVE, as there are rumors of an upgread.
