World of Subways 1 – The Path reviews

"World of Subways 1 – The Path" simulates a storied subway network in New York. The PATH (Port Authority Trans-Hudson) is a network that connects the Manhatten Neighborhood of New York with nearby Cities in the neighboring State Of New Jersey. As early as 1874, there were initial Plans. Due to many Adversity and the Problem of having to tunnel the Hudson River, it took until 1908 until first Test runs on part of the Track Could be carried out. Today, the Route network consists of four Lines, some of which overlap. The Lines have only 4-8 Stations, some of which are quite far apart. Just Under half of the Kilometres Of The route are above ground. Sadly, the Track was made famous by its Station under the World Trade Center, which was completely destroyed in the September 11, 2001, attacks. This Simulation shows a rebuilt End station, which can only be reached by a massive Construction Site. It must be made clear that this is a Simulator from 2009. Many technical Aspects are no longer up-to-date. The Graphics are sometimes very ancient, the Skyline as a Backdrop damn pixelated and despite the highest Visual Shift many Graphics plop up late and therefore clearly visible. But Those who can live with it will find a Simulator whose Scope is manageable, but whose atmosphere and Driving Sensation is convincing. Because if the Series "World of Subways" can do one thing, it's to hit a Mood. This is due, among other things, to the really good Illumination, the slippering Sounds and the constantly jerking rolling Stock. However, the three existing Versions of the Rolling Stock are only external Reskins, which do not change the Driving sensation and the Driver'S Position. Realism also includes many Functions, such as the Totmann switch, which must be constantly pressed (but the Function can also be switched off), an Air Conditioner, which should be switched on before The Start of The journey, Travel Gear users and Tap-changers. However, a Speed indicator is painfully missed, which was really not originally present in this Car, but was later retrofitted. However, we can use indazzling Menus to view the Speed, as well as almost all other Information. We should also use The description and the Announcements correctly, otherwise this will be noted negatively in the Final Evaluation. A bored chewing rubbery voice vects the relevant Train Information. The Graphics are really double-edged. On The one hand in a detailed way, it is, after all, some Textures, also badly washed up in the Cabin. The Daily Speeds and the associated upper Irish Lighting conditions are implemented in an atmospheric way, as is the Outlet spark, which occurs again and again during The Change of electricity Rail. We can even choose between nice Weather and heavy Rain, but a Water Drop display On the Disk is missing. The Driving Physics is amazingly good, the Slopes and sometimes tight Turns amazingly extreme. By heating the narrow Tubes Conveys the Mixture of Claustrophobia And Tunnel effect (not physically meant) that distinguishes subways. You can drive individual Orbits. In Shift Operation, wear And tear and technical Failures or even Persons in the Track bed can also occur after some time (if this has been stopped). In the Stations we can also leave the Driver's Cab and walk around a little bit. And this is the first Part of the Subway series: Small scope and technically partly old-fashioned, it nevertheless conveys a really good and atmospheric Driving sensation, which is also supported by the Attention to Detail.
