In my mind, this is a very good time to be interested in train sims ("V" Scale). What an abundance. Whatever your tastes or interests are there is something challenging and well crafted for you to use. The top two (IMO) OR and Run8 are both still developing, remain responsive to the users and are striving to make the experience as realistic to the actual physics as possible. Run8 took the risk of starting something completely new and untried, Open Rails decided to inherit Bill's castoff sim MSTS and is just at the point where it is establishing it's own sim identity. Unique content from both these worthy endeavors will only benefit this loyal and fervent community. No matter which track you run on, you gotta give some respect to the other railroad.
In the spirit of "full disclosure" Open Rails edges out Run8 because of my soft spot for open source collaboration. It's an honorable tradition that should be kept alive on the web. Don't infer from this that I regard it as superior to Run8, just at this point in time and at my level of experience it is what I prefer. I'm still learning Run8 and in the future may be competent enough to join in MP sessions, possibility also exists for Open Rails.
Folks, you really gotta appreciate what these two quite different groups of talented people are accomplishing.Cheers, Gerry
