I'd love to take a look at this some time, it would be interesting to see a 'modern' simulator, and of course Dovetail now are our best chance for a new FSX-style simulator...

It's not much diff, just TS2014 with diff routes'and a few tweaks to the game engine, theres very little overall difference.

"Having trouble finding out how to work it" might say more about Ron than the sim... Just sayin'

Dovetail seem to be in the love 'em or hate 'em category, which kind of reminds me of Microsoft a few years back.

Still, for full disclosure, I won't be buying this, but only because I don't have any money.
