The addons for TS2013 on that page are of very low quality.
We can clearly see that are models exported from MSTS.

If you need any further info on this unit have a look at
http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic. ... 1&t=132625

On the second page is some info from when the unit was released.
Although some of the info might be out of date as it was June

The download size is only 20Mb, that says a lot imo. :-?

It's ok as AI, but for a player train it leaves a fair bit to be desired. Vizzart have said that this is the standard that they will build to and that will not change, especially as they are happy with the sales figures. They have also blamed the limitations of Railworks for poor sounds, despite what ttb and AP have been able to achieve. Criticism has not generally been well received, I had hoped that the standard of models would improve with experience, but it appears that that will not be the case. There is a whole thread about this on Railsim.de

The impression I get is that Vizzart's models are designed for those who don't care about having loads of features or 100% accuracy, but you would've thought the price would reflect this, rather than being the same price as more detailed models.

Well, if that is their business approach then this is one customer they won't be seeing.

It now looks as though individual scenarios are being sold at €2.49 each:

I don't have any negative comments but it will be very interesting to see how the market(s) receive this approach.
