World of Subways 2 - Learning Berlin, Underground - Past Livestream 2019
WoS2 is set in the U7 Berlin underground. We attempt a first-look. But getting started is made much more difficult than other games in this series, for several reasons.
First, there are no in-game tutorials or training missions. You have to read the manual from scratch to learn what to do. Second, few of the control keys in the game come mapped out of the box. You have to map the rest of them manually, using the pdf manual as the source. But even the manual has key conflicts in it, so you have to work these out yourself. Hotkey mapping is critical because, unlike WoS3, there is no interaction with the graphical controls in cab, it's hotkey control only. Finally, like WoS3, applying the 4GB Patch is strongly recommended to prevent the older game engine from crashing during extended play sessions.
These issues meant it literally took me nearly an hour and a half before I could even get the train to move, during what essentially became an R&D self-training stream.
On the upside, hardcore train enthusiasts who are interested can pick up WoS2 dirt cheap, especially during Steam sales (I only paid about $6 US for it). And once you can make everything work, it is still enjoyable to drive the game's two EMUs, the F90 and H01, despite the game's age. Streamed live on Twitch June 7th, 2019. PC gameplay.
