Thank you for all the info...
Definitely, I will stay with Train Simulator 2022 ( now "classic" ?).
I have to say, that I did miss the sales on Christmas and Black Friday 2021; because I wasn't a user of TS 2022. Sorry for that !
A Christmas "sale" on TSW 2 ( xbox one x) did bring me back to my PC and my 8 year old steam account. I did spend 13,-- EURO for that xbox TSW 2 version.
But I wasn't pleased with the missing route editor option!
So I did remember my old PC...
well, I found my old version of Train Simulator (updated to TS 2022) and I was hooked.
The option to use my fantasy, building my own virtual model railroad ( with notable simulation character ) is my new hobby; a dream of childhood.
of course, I still look for some TS 2022 addons ( especially locomotives with advanced features ). As a new user of TS 2022, you need some addons; unfortunately...
Therefore I am looking forward to get some "ladies" on the announced May/June sale...
At the first view, I thought that TSW 2 showed up with better physics and realism.
But soon I understood, that talented designer offer same physics and realism for TS 2022; and TS 2022 offers so many more addons, better performance AND(!) a route editor!
I hope for the announced sale that I have the chance to complete my selection of TS 2022 addons.
Best Regards
