Gazz292 Posted Monday at 08:03 PM Posted Monday at 08:03 PM i've seen a lot of complaints from people that the recent patch which took the simulator out of early access mode does not have the content whey were expecting in it. i am wondering if this is because of the wording used to announce that SimRail is now out of early access : So people see the 'Full Version' and 'complete game' wording and think that they are going to get every single thing ever mentioned in the development logs over the past 2 years, Some of us know that there has been a lot of extra features and content added by the devs at the request of players, way exceeding the original plan of things include in the sim, and hence there are a lot of features that will be released in the future.... Stuff like : A single player save function, Train (and hopefully) route editors, The input / output system, Console versions, Shunting (which people expect to mean spending a few hours in the sidings running a shunting engine back and forth over many points arranging waggons to make up trains, and not changing cabs or uncoupling from a train at the end of a run) The DLC's for German, Austrian and American routes, Mechanical signal boxes The CD163 loco... and so on. Would changing the wording used to describe that SimRail is now out of early access make things better? but what wording to use?... and is this possibly a translation issue (like we had a year ago when 'joystick support' was released, but it was really 'steam gamepad support' and the wording got mistranslated from Polish into English and upset a few people. 11

PlayWR Posted Thursday at 01:23 PM Posted Thursday at 01:23 PM Isn't shunting already available to be used for scenarios?
Skully Posted Thursday at 02:57 PM Posted Thursday at 02:57 PM In the Alpha we had shunting working in multiplayer. I haven't seen anywhere it would only be available in single player in the "full version". Ty2 is similarly not noted as limited to single player. Mechanical signal-box which is still being advertised on the Steam page is non existent in the "full version" although still on the roadmap. So yes, calling this a "full version" is wrong. 2

The way i see it, this update is the release from early access mode, and there are lots of new things to be introduced into the sim, just it's taking longer than the dev's expected.

The challenge is not against the dates but against the content and description of what constitutes "EARLY ACCESS EXIT". The current delivery does not satisfy the expected content so early access should have been prolonged.
