Okay....for years I have read that Albert Einstein once defined Insanity as............"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
Now I don't know if that's true or not.........but if it is, then I'm insane for sure!!!
Woke this morning to see that TS2017 Pioneer edition has been released.
First off.........I wasn't smart enough to grasp from the recent video that if you purchased the Pioneer edition you would receive the Train Sim World Beta in December.....I was expecting to see it now with the Pioneer "Limited Time Offer." Okay...first mistake and really not that big of a deal.
Second mistake....if you have already purchased all the routes in TS 2017 you will receive the TSW Beta for "free" and if not....you can click on "Complete my.....whatever....and get 75% off on the routes you don't have." Okay...didn't sound too bad, and since I already owned all but two routes.....and those two routes I already had on my "wish list" waiting for them to go on sale.....again.....not a big deal and I actually feel like I saved a few bucks.
But lastly..........now that I have TS2017 Pioneer edition and this is where I think I've lost all sanity!!!! I can't tell a bit of difference from TS2016. I do this over and over again.....listen to the BS of how this is going to change everything and be the greatest thing since sliced bread.........all to fall into the trap of nothing really has changed but the log in screen.
Perhaps there are changes that I just haven't noticed. Perhaps it runs much smoother than before.....but my computer has always ran Train Sim rather smoothly anyway, so maybe I'm just not noticing it.
Hate to sound so cynical and am feeling foolish tonight........but enough is enough........I'm done. (smile)
Although......on the bright side........I did pick up the Pro edition of the BR Class 40 40135 and fell in love!!! I've always enjoyed some of the British trains (although I hate the wimpy horns....) but they drive very nice and the scenery is wonderful!!!! So with that, at least not all was lost!
If....and I mean "IF"........I have missed something with TS 2017....please dear friends...point me back to the right path as I don't see anything different than the screenshots.
Cheers!!
