Train Simulator – Which DLC to Choose for the Beginner?

So Many DLC: Any Tips for a Beginner?

Сrеdit gоеs to x1Heavy !

Get a basic TSC Bundle for your Country to start off with.

Then use the sales a few times a year to add to the DLC list. I bought the WM Steаm engine this week and paid retail for it. Its a nice little engine to go with my B&O Mountain Sub DLC.

That DLC is a taste of home so I started there. However its the American West that has my heart so Sherman Hill etc. I ended up running the hell out of the Rio Grande. Its engaging. Its immersive when you are helping Amtrack to stay at 70 and above racing the ETA schedule and its late. That one got me.

Then work outwards accumulating on sales.

This summer I rounded up most of the Amtrack stuff. Ive got a few loose ends to get in the winter sale before I own all the Amtrack stuff in the game. I was raised on the NEC back in the 60’s and learned lessons related to train safety when the whispering death comes through at 110 to 120.

For beauty I liked the Semmering. Its Austrian. Essentially mountain Germans. HE HE HE. Teasing….

Be very careful to disregard the DTG Live, Disregard the Career SCORING (The Career scenarios are best played as a mission rather than ETA scoring which is broken in some of them. You will be late, then penalized and then gain bad self esteem and feel horrible chasing it. HA….

Be cautious buying Pro content. Its essentially real world in computer form. I loved the 844. But dont have 50 hands for all those controls. The H9 WM engine is my learning engine this year.

The game is going through a update situation which… for lack of a better word got botched. Some of it is fixed. But the rest of it?” Who the hell knows.

This years summer sale was a good sale and I spent enough for now. I have money set aside for winter sale next already. Theres like 200 DLC unbought for years. I dont know how much money that will cost to get it all at once. Probably a couple thousand.

This is the only game that I participate in DLC type buying. I do AVOID subscriptions, DLC, add ons and random gambling content and so on. It costs too much.

All other games are bought one time for the full game. Thats it. No DLC needed.
