Single Player - Limitations

Right on the money. A save state is one of the most critically needed functions in SimRail at the moment, especially if the dev team wants to expand to longer routes or scenarios. I hope they implement one soon, preferably with the ability to save multiple sessions at once. -
@Gazz292 You actually bring up some understandable concerns. To clarify, I intended the functionality for this mode to be quite basic, nothing more than a simple additional means to explore the scenery of routes on foot or watch trains go by. What SimRail currently has in terms of functionality would already be very effective, so I don't think that the investment needed to incorporate would be too much as to take away from the driving experience, and it certainly shouldn't. As for your concerns regarding trolls in multiplayer, this is a mode that is intended for single player mode, so that should not be a problem. @pschlik Correct, this would be for single player mode. You make a good catch in that point of confustion there, and I have since clarified that in my recommendation. And I do second that the first-person element, especially when it comes to exploring routes on foot, is quite underutilized in terms of it's availability. Simrail currently allows you to walk in and out of a dispatch tower or into a train already, so it makes sense from my view to expand it to an entire mode itself.

Dear Simrail Team, Kindly consider this recommendation for the addition of an explorer and passenger mode for single player where we could free roam and explore routes and stations on foot while AI driven trains run along the route. From what I have seen from the playtests, Simrail already has developed good functionality in terms of walking on foot and entering doors, and while later on I would enjoy having the ability to use elevators and benches while on foot, the current available functionality would be already sufficient to start adding a feature would greatly benefit Simrail by adding in another dimension of immersing and enjoying the routes. Thank you.
