Leave a Review Trainz Simulator 3
Great graphics! Very fun gameplay
This came out of nowhere for me! I was surprised to see this on iOS/iPadOS and it’s graphically very good!! It’s at or near desktop class train gaming.
I had one issue so far with the frame rate going choppy. I’m not sure if it’s a memory leak or just needs some optimization, but it was all good after saving my game and closing/reopening the game.
I haven’t wrote a review in ages, but this called for one. Well done developers!Show lesssandiegodan
It’s quite good
The game is stunning and features detailed routes and rolling stock but there is not much stuff from other places such as Europe, there is not a route builder either which was one of the best selling points of the previous instalment, Trainz Driver 2.
However on a positive note, the content currently available is very detailed and the UI is well designed, I still think that this game is ABSOLUTELY GREAT though.Show lessTURBOSTARJAMIE433
Problematic also no surveyor
There are problems with me getting kicked out of the app. But the game has just been realised when writing this so it will get fixed. But it’s mainly good game. Actually now that I think about it there is one major problem. I can’t find surveyor which leads me to believe there is no surveyor mode in this one. Surveyor is the best part of the train simulator games and seeing the lack of it is really disappointed. I waited half a month for this game to make epic routes in surveyor and not being able to do it makes me really upset. Pls add spectator it’s my fav game mode. Creativity is something This game really need. In all the yt vids for this game it was hinted to have a surveyor and quick drive.

minor bugs but amazing game
I remember when i was little and played the first two train simulator games, and i remember that they weren't perfect but still fun. some problems i found were that the camera option to free roam sometimes bugged out to where i could not move from car to car or leave the train. same goes for deleting or moving trains in free drive, it glitches out sometimes. but to be fair, the game did come out a couple months ago. great start, but can be fixed up a little to have an amazing end.Show lessjay slayer 115

Second Review.
I have Written 1 review already outlining the stunning beauty of this game, although there are some things I’d like to say. This new era of Trainz games with extremely good graphics for mobile has been an extensively fun discovery however the one biggest issue i had with this game was the lack of charm that the other 2 games had, understandably it would be a tall order to ask them to add that joy of creation to this game. I found the fun of creating railways missing here and it kinda took a way a chunk of Trainz away.
Although this, I would like to completely thank the developers for fixing these bugs and lag issues that were presented during release.
Thanks for making my childhood amazing NV3!Show lessImperian (Crowbar.killing)
Developer Response
Thanks for the review and keep on enjoying Trainz. The trick with turntables is finding the active part of the arrow (we're working on a fix for this and a number of other little issues).Great game! But, just needs some tweaks.
This is overall a fantastic game. I’m a train enthusiast myself. And live the realism in this game. But there is some stuff I was looking forward to that we never received. I know most of this stuff may be still in progress. I wish there was a world building feature like Trainz 2 had. I also wish there was more purchasable rolling stock.
Also train acceleration speeds need to be tweaked. Most locomotives don’t have a realistic starting movement. They accelerate really fast.
Overall i love this game. I just wish they would add more.Show lessxd TalkTooMuch
TAKE NOTE
Trainz 3 is an awesome looking game but it can 100% be improved alot. Here are some things that must be improved on.
Better movement physics (Slower Acceleration with larger train load / better braking system / The trains move too light and speed up too quick)
A Home / Menu Screen to change login settings, graphic settings, audio settings, etc
A better consist placer menu, rapid placement setting
In-game UI hider, setting to disable automatic UI-Hiding
When making the maps, make the switches more smooth
Add FOV Zoom function, fix orbit settings, invert vertical & horizontal look direction.
Ability to change time, weather, and temperature
Add more functions and features like (Custom Locomotive Repaints, Custom routes, Local Locomotive Settings, etc)
Make touch screen more useable as far as using the sliders for the advanced control setting.
Make more content, as far as I want would be some Northeastern American Commuter rail like ALP-46, ALP-45, Multilevel Trailers, Comet V Trailers, GP40PH-2(B), F40PH-2CAT, ACS-64, Amfleets (That also go with the AMTRAK P42), etc.
I know these ideas have been mentioned already or are in the works but please take consideration in majority of these fixes......Show lesskhris_raps
Improvements have been appreciated
Hi N3V,
I’ve been a Trainz 2 player for years now, and I just wanted to say that Trainz 3 is a major improvement. Also I want to thank you for such an awesome game, and I’m writing this message just after Summer Lake Pass and other content was released. I really like the addition of that route and I also appreciate that you’re adding new content (like new locos and free drive) to the game regularly, but I was wondering if you were planning to add any more routes within the foreseeable future. I would like to suggest the following to be added to the game if possible:
1. CN Holly Sub
2. Toronto Rail Lands
3. Rosworth Vale
4. C&O Hinton Division (since I’m a huge C&O/CSX fan)
Or any North American themed route really…
Also question, how’s progress on the world editor feature? (I’m not trying to rush you in any way, I’m just curious though). Also, I’m playing this on a 6th Gen iPad, do you know if that device supports shadows or not? I don’t get shadows when I play the game.Show lessFireUp614
My opinion on the game and a content request
I absolutely love this game but I have a few issues with me trying to load in on some days and I have to delete the game and redownload it but I would like to request some things to appear in the game if that is ok but if I could request one thing and have if guaranteed to be added is the 14xx great western tank engine and some auto coaches that come with it but it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t get added or not because I still love this game regardlessShow lessYung_Fendj
