    Simply Amazing

    I am absolutely loving Open Rails. The amount of realism it adds to the game is exceptional. Never thought TS2001 would become so close to TS2017. Keep up the outstanding work with this program. I hope to see a cruise control in the future

      There is an "auto-pilot"in open rails that can run activities and run the speeded up too.

        I do not think the team plan to make a TS2017 clone, rather a new open platform to continue where MSTS is leaving off

          For those determined to misunderstand Gus it's pretty obvious what ts (Train Simulator) 2001 is ....now isn't it!?

            And no matter how charitable one is feeling, I don't think OR really approaches a high quality TS2017 route in terms of visual appearance. It's good and shows the best of the best MSTS routes in an exceptional light, but it can't turn iron into gold.

              Cruise control is a facility offered in some real locos.

              The request has been added
              to the list of features to be prioritised on the Open Rails Roadmap.

                ...but like the difference between Pyrites and Gold however pretty one might be the other has as many uses.... More to any simulator than eye candy as I'm sure you'd be the first to agree Vern?

                  Visually no, but the rest of the enhancements are on point. 2017 is pretty, but the content is meh and overpriced. Not worth the investment IMO.
