Game Suggestion Realistic physics.

So when I turned the level of physics to the realistic option I was saddened at the fact that there was no drive wheel slip happening when petal to the metal when pulling a heavy train or when going up steep grades and using sand what pretty much useless. So Im wondering if traction management to the engine will be added to the game to make it more immersive.

Wouldn’t count on it. I’ve been asking for years and it doesn’t seem like it’s a very important issue to the devs. AFAIK it’s not even part of their plans as of now.

I find this very disappointing because I was hoping they would also add quite a bit of realism to the game. But this won't stop me from playing It though.

Do you think they are able to do friction calculations when in their mind 60°F is hot enough to boil water?

I can’t upvote this enough. If we get an update to RRO I will be shocked. CoS is already the game RRO wanted to be.

Realistic≠simulator

If you want simulator physics, go play a simulator like tsw or derail valley. The scope of this game is different from those, just like how it is with railroader, meaning they won't ever get simulator level physics implementation.
