Train Simulator 2014 was released not to long ago. What do you guys think about the new UI, Music, and other improvements? I like the UI, it is more clean looking. The music is also better than the 2013 Version. Another thing is the over $2000 worth of DLCs! Personally I think the game its self is at a good price, but the DLCs are a bit over priced. $40 for the Marias Pass Route and a train! I understand the Train Simulator community is kinda small, but these prices are crazy!

I use railroad simulator (yes, it's different). The graphics are really good, and it comes with a great "surveyor" mode to create your own maps. It also allows you to share your own maps (and trains, scenery objects, etc.) through their community system, which is built into the game. I've never tried it's multiplayer, but from what I've seen, its pretty good.

I've never used train simulator 2014 (or 13), so I can't compare them, but I quite like the loads of free trains and maps you can get on railroad simulator. The TS14 graphics look a bit more polished than railroad simulator's, but the graphical quality is still excellent. I hate having to get DLC's, so I'm not sure I would like the TS series.

Railroad Simulator looks pretty cool. In TS14 you can also edit maps and share them with the steam workshop, but the map editor in Railroad Simulator seems better. In TS14 the controls for the map editor and overall layout is very complex and hard to understand. TS14 suports mod, so that is nice. The real tie breaker for me would be the DLCs! I can not afford $40 for a route! I think Railroad Simulator would be a nice alternative for Train Simulator.

cool, I wish that I have it an play it, I only played an very old as in old simulator

Yeah, it says on the TS14 steam page that it only has 16 locomotives, which is not that many. On railroad simulator, all the locomotives I've ever wanted to drive were either pre-installed or downloadable through the community. It has hundreds of different cars and probably at least 50 locomotives pre-installed. The map editing mode is really robust and easy to use. It also has some DLC's, but i've never felt the need to buy them, as all the content i wanted was in the game or on the community.

 

If you decide on getting railroad simulator, I would recommend getting the hard copy, as it comes with a nice foldout paper with keyboard shortcuts on it and a really detailed 250 page manual, which is more like a book (with pictures :P). Here is the box copy: http://www.amazon.com/PC-Railroad-Simulator-Powered-Trainz-12/dp/B005D5XTT6/ref=pd_cp_vg_1

I think I might buy Train Simulator! I like the price very very much!
