Pros and cons of Train Drive ATS 2 app for iPhone and iPad

Train Drive ATS 2 app good for

The driving is challenging, but really reflects commuter train driving in high urban areas. Concentrate on the driving and automatic train control system. Together with signalling being really well done, this app is worth the money! Hopefully the app is developed further. A speedometer in a graphic way would be appreciated Thanks! Gave me great fun!
Ive played with Train Drive ATS 2 so I Was very enthusiast about the second chapter. Its a really good job, a lot of trains on the route and fantastic sceneries. But especially when there are other Trains in the view, the fps are very low. If you can fix this bug, it will be a perfect simulator!
Its expensive but definitely worthwhile. Much more refined than first release, more long and complex scenarios, though sometimes this puts my A7 iPad Air chip in troubles, above all when it has to process multiple tracks (you often have four parallel tracks in these scenarios) and you could experience some slight slowdowns. No problems on A8 with iPhone 6 (though IMHO you need an iPad to fully appreciate the game).
the nice enough game even if the graphics is also improvingm waiting for the doubling of the tracks
The engine sounds are 2 different ones how do I change it to the one I like?

Some bad moments

I judge as an owner of the previous version and I have to say that there are a lot of bugs to fix : The most heavy one is that it doesnt see differences, when I decrease the power(for example from P4 to P1) keeping the same ampere even at high speed. I dont accept To pay 7€ for a not working app. And I will ask the refund if the bug is not fixed as soon as possible
Although the game still has a good design on train physics and timetable similar with last generation, but the graphics dont improve. Also,no manual or tutorial exist in game to tell player important things like UI, train control system, signal and score standard. Another disadvantage is no evening and night timeand weather. So, price seems a little high comparing with other good train simulation games.
I think the game is amazing. Just as great as Train Drive Ats 1 but it has one problem that the first game also had. In he game, you include trains and tracks and lines that arent allowed to be driven. This is a problem to me because I think it is too suspenseful to see them drive by not knowing where they go or how far they go. In the next update they should be allowed to be driven
I have to say this is the most realistic train simulator game in the App Store and it never failed to disappoint me! Its quite interesting this time the Keio Corporation trains were used and the sounds are all realistic like the ones that are out there. Even some of the areas in the game resembles the area of Sasazuka station and Shinjuku Station! (in the game: Inagi-Chuo) There is this one problem that I saw in the game where in certain places I realized there was an issue of the fps slowing down when going uphill or downhill which was a little buggy. I really hope this would be fixed in the next few updates. Other than that, I have rode the Keio line many times and it is closely realistic to the real ones! Some suggestion that I can think of this game to look a bit better to match something similar to the real Keio Line in Japan: - Add the Keio 9000 series trainsets or even the Toei 10-300 trainsets - Add digital departure announcements - Add train announcements (digital ones preferably) with a female voice this time. - Just have 10-car sets and 8-car sets for the main line routes.
Great game just like the first one! But there is a small problem with the frames per second. When other train pass it is quite noticeable. But other than that it is awsome!
Watch out for the air lock for some reason it happens out of no were you down get a warning plus it kill your points they need to fix that watch out
