About Limited Simulator 2:
first, I’m giving a nod to DTM for another good model. However, I’m listing this as NOT RECOMMENDED for a couple reasons, and since there’s no “Mixed” options.The physics and speed of this are broken, badly. Normally for me, I start out at Notch 3 or 4 on a ascending grade, like the 1.1% of Altoona’s passenger platform. Unfortunately, I had to IMMEDIATELY START OUT IN NOTCH 8 JUST TO GET MOVING. On top of that, going up the 1.8% grade that makes up the east end of the Horseshoe Curve route, I was struggling to top 18 amph (12-15 mph at above 2%,) And once I crested at the tunnel, I had to watch in morbid fascination as my speed dropped from 45mph to 25mph once the descending grade evened out from 1.5 to 0.5%. Keep in mind, I hadn’t touched the throttle at all since starting the scenario. And even then, when I finally came to a stop at Slope, I was 90 seconds behind the listed benchmark time. In face, I was late the entire scenario. I was 7 seconds behind the penalty limit at MG tower, then 54 seconds behind at AR interlocking just east of Galitzan tunnel (pretty sure I misspelled that), 39 seconds behind at MO interlocking near Cresson, and 77 seconds behind at the ending stop @Slope, making my total score 829 of 1000, staying Run8 the entire time. The Steam user ‘Dr_Trenchcoat’ labeled it right when saying that the engine physics make it feel like the train brakes were applied and dragging then entire time.DTM, if you find this review, please fix this problem. To me, your best was your original SP SD45 (the non-Tunnel motor). I know you’re capable of matching that, and probably surpassing it, so please release and update for this ASAP so that this can be as good as your Baldwin RF-16 Freight Sharks.
