I also just bought this, on Jason's recommendation
Has great potential, kind of ATS or ETS2 on rails, but I hope they give equal attention to the non-VR side of things. Just had a look on Curry's at how much an Oculus costs and nearly fell off my chair - more than I paid for my new GPU and UHD monitor put together!
As regards gameplay only had a quick look so far and there is great potential. Have posted a few suggestions on their FB page and Steam forum - mainly:
Enable key commands for the loco controls as you need to be able to observe where you are when applying the brakes etc.
Consider some sort of despatcher board (like Run 8) to set the route up ahead rather than having to stop Trainz style at each set of points to check if you are correctly routed.
More space or a different system for the inventory. I shouldn't have to drop (and forget where!) items just to pick up my job card. Things like key commands or maps should just be accessed via a Help screen.
Agree with comments that speed restrictions together with advance warnings need to be posted. Perhaps some sort of mini-HUD similar to what DTG TS has on the bottom of the screen.
Ultimately have a fully signalled network with passing loops on the single line so we can also have AI trains going about their business.
Bigger diesel locos - perhaps a Class 37 to represent the UK or a GM SD40 or similar for America. Maybe a DB294 for Germany.
Is anyone we know involved with this, or are they all new people without any connection to the established "Big 3"?
