A finished product is the best, if you cant wait an extra few months they go and hide in a cardboard box

What was bad about it? I was thinking of getting it.

I played the Rail Simulator demo and it was not too bad, but I have e-mailed the company these suggestions:

1. The lighting inside the front and passenger cabins does not change as I go through tunnels or when my angle changes from the direction of the sun.
2. The particle 2D steam textures clips through the roof in the front cabin view and the steam from the wheels are clipping through to the passenger cabin view. Especially when travelling at high speeds.
3. No animated wildlife. Demo restriction? I have the maximum graphics settings set.
4. EAX 5.1 surround sound does not work on my Sound Blaster Audigy 2. My speaker settings are set to 5.1 so it should work fine. Demo restriction?
5. The whistle stopped working correctly. When I pressed it, the sound clipped after about .5 seconds no matter how long I held the button for.
6. Instructions for controlling the train in expert mode. In retail box?
7. No people’s sound effects at stations.
8. The people are stiff when viewed from the external view. No animated passengers. Demo restriction?
9. The controls for moving around the front cabin are awkward. No body or feet seen when looking down. I cannot look around a full 360 either way.
10. As stated in the FAQ, no wheel slip is visible, but that is unrealistic. I would like to see this in a proper simulator.
