Run8 Forums- General Discussion and Screenshot forums and one of the older train simulator community forums on the internet. RXR Guys - Run8 24/7 Multi-Player Server, TeamSpeak and Texting supported. RTS for Run8 Train Simulator - Run8 24/7 Multi-Player Server, Text only sessions and has a forum for support. The Run8 devs like to join them when they have time. VirtuRail Simulations- This group has planned sessions every month which are very well thought out and very realistic and fun to operate on.

They also have free Multiplayer and teamspeak servers avilable for sessions. I don't want to come across as negative as at times I really like R8 and sure I'll be drawn back eventually, but for now I'm quite absorbed with TSW2 and have even dusted off TS20xx to revisit some of my favourite routes and traction.Diverging Approach Multiplayer Server (DAMS) -Run8 24/7 Multiplayer Server, TeamSpeak and Texting Supported. No historic diesel locos (F7's or Alco's) and no steam traction either to add a bit of spice. The multiplayer element has never been of real interest to me.

Having to operate as both driver and signaller can be onerous at time and the game really (IMHO) feels the lack of an organised schedule/activity/scenario editor and autonomous despatcher so you can set up movements with specific destinations without having to micromanage the whole shebang. I was having considerable fun with the industry feature but suddenly it dawned on me this was really just an infinite "radiant" element with no real end or objective. With hindsight I would much rather have a collection of shorter more varied routes maybe even some outside the USA, to drive. Maybe it's the constant desert scenery, we might have a 400 mile route to operate (I haven't added the Fresno line yet), but therein is the problem. Run 8 has given me a lot of fun recently but will temper that with the fact I just suddenly burned out on it. Just wondering what issues the OP is having with Steam which prevents him getting up and running with TS2021 or even TSW2 (which is getting something really magnificent with the Clinchfield route very soon). The more I look at the advancements in the model railroad manufactures, community etc, and railroad photography as well, the more tempted I'am to start building a switching shelf layout, and get trackside more often than to invest any further in trainsims. Trainsim Moderators: scratching their heads and debating as to whether the word " Speculating" should be allowed in all future conversations. Of coures with the passing of time I'm now like some others in the trainsim community and just speculating because what choice do we have when so little information is shared by the developers.

LOL Can't even begin to imagine the reaction if the V2 addon rolling stock and routes is not backward compatiable with V3.Ĭombine that with no route editor or the ability not be able to mod content and a posible upgrade of your computer for the new engine and I'm struggling to see as to whether it will be a worthwhile investment. It's based on an entirely different graphics engine, and based on what little dev's have shared, its sure to require a much healthier system then an Inspiration 660xx, and it (and additions?) will co$t It's based on an entirely different graphics engine, and based on what little dev's have shared, its sure to require a much healthier system then an Inspiration 660xx, and it (and additions?) will co$t. As good as Run8 is, Version 3 is just around the corner. Having said that, at this point, unless you plan on upgrading your system and have a few extra bucks laying around, I would hold off. And, as stated, there no creating/manipulation/editing any of the Run8 components.

Run8 control panel has a few basic video controls, but customers have no control over its built in 3d settings through Windows or, for example, the NVidia control panel. A good graphics card helps processing renders, but the biggest appreciable difference in how the sim looks is achieved with a 4k monitor with a 4k video card. You won't get the extreme stuttering/pauses like MSTS variations when taxed, but frame rates can be low with older computer builds. Go all in with all the pay-ware routes & rollingstock and heavily populating the routes with trains/consists, the CPU/memory starts getting taxed. Out of the box, it will run fine on the slimmest 660.
As a train simulator, nothing compares to Run8.
