Yes I like the G6 too, I was that impressed I even made a scenario for it! http://members.uktrainsim.com/filelib-i ... leid=33886

For me it didn't make it to the top 3 and moreover it's not even an EL loco. However I like the G6 a lot, too. I'd just prefer the windows dark tint effect be removed.

The G6 was made on the same high level as all other EL addons. The only reason that it is not labeled EL ist the fact that the diesel hydraulic simulation is poor and i can't handle it as it is needed for a EL. Same for the BR232 addons.

Yes, I know this, Maik, you mentioned this before, I think. Diesel locos cannot be EL due to TS limitations.

That's why I decided to include it in the poll :-)

Because I feel it's overall simulation is still not quite up to the standard of EL locos. It's much simpler than the G6 or any other EL loco.

Oh and the BR132 / 232 are diesel electrics. I thought the real issue with simulation was really with diesel hydraulics, not with DE engines?

The BR 232 has much more EL stuff than the G6, so it should join the list as well. They just not named EL but done with the same effort as all the others. Only the BR232 on Steam was made more basically.

Ok, sorry for not adding it in that case! I haven't used the vR version in a long time, perhaps that's why I didn't remember well how advanced it is...

I'm afraid it will be too late to edit the poll now.

Don't worry. Such a poll isn't representative in any way :)

Perhaps, without giving any exact figures of course, you could tell us, Maik, which EL loco was the best seller... ? I'm really curious...
