Bridge!

This product is by Aerosoft who I have come across before being producers of payware for Microsoft Flight Simulator. All I can say about this constantly crashing game is that it lived up to my expectations and it’s performance limitations killed it stone dead - five crashes to desktop in the space of one hour. From what I understand the sequel to this game is also worth saving your money over for similar reasons. Avoid Avoid Avoid …

Read the manual.

First, the default language is German, you need to change that in launch options before you start the game.

The game starts fairly intuitive, but not so much as you get further into the “missions”. I’ve already lost over an hour and even though it’s been frustrating at times, it’s well worth the price, at least when it is on sale.

Let me start this off by saying I 100% would recommend to people to play this game. I got into it because I loved the game Fast Food Tycoon and used to play those back in the day. I was trying to fiind something similar and I stumbled upon this gem.

I mainly love playing these tycoon games in the free mode or where you can vs AI/others to give yourself competition and more mental challenges. But I have also gone through the majority of the story. I will say that their two recent updates have added a lot of fun to the free game and if they keep adding to it it will only become better.

The first time I ever preordered a game. Maybe the last, as the game shows promise, but is very buggy and unfinished. I played some mobile restaurant games, but they of course are very simple and the “pay or wait until bored to death” mechanics is annoying. So I had high hopes for a more realistic restaurant management game. In this game there are elements to that direction, but it still falls short.

Some observations:

  • Graphics: The background graphcs is very pretty, the buidings and traffic and day/night cycle is fine. Unfortunately the people are crude caricatures of a very few types. It gives a creepy feeling seeing 3 or 4 identical clones at your restaurant. Also the people walk through doors, walls by the door, chairs and each other. The yellow flashing paths from warehouses and advertising media are annoying, and should be possible to turn off and on. After the patch the pizzas ooze a greenish vapor. I first thought that was a sign of some infestation. Not savory.

ZUSI 3 - Aerosoft Edition

ZUSI 3 - Aerosoft Edition

This is IMO the de facto state of the art train simulator as far as realism goes. What makes this one an absolute sell even at the comparatively hefty price is that there is no paying for routes or rolling material, every future content is part of the current price. Furthermore the inclusion of the EBuLa and ZuSi Display (which allows one to open instrument panels, MTD, MFA/MFD, EBuLa and backpanels in new windows that can be resized and/or put on other displays) gives it a huge advantage over the simulators by Dovetail Games. It even supports GNT and ETCS and has routes making use of this.

I thought I would write a few thoughts, as it has been sometime since anyone posted for Zusi 3.

Is Zusi 3 worth the money (currently £54.50 Aerosoft Edition on Steam).

Well, it perhaps depends upon your point of view of what you want from a simulator. If you want fancy graphics and easy game play then perhaps Zusi 3 is not for you. If you want adequate graphics (I will return to that subject later) and intense study level game play then perhaps Zusi 3 may be for you.

I have played 236 hours and still only scratched the surface. I am sure there are people who have played hundreds of more hours. It can still catch me out and proves very challenging.
