Free on Steam: TGV Voyages Train Simulator

I'm guessing the biggest feature here is "free," but I know some of you
will be interested.

Reviews seem to complain about easy derailment a lot, so YMMV.

One guy complained about getting 40-50 fps @2k as too low for watching a
train. LOL

There are also free DLCs:

Yes, the misspellings in the links are correct.

Note: I had difficulties adding this with the steampowered links, but it
added in the client just fine. May be a transient issue.

Note to note: The DLCs are for the full game. The freebie is a
teaser/magnet.

On the one hand, it's a train-simualtor and I've never found a game in
that genre that hasn't disappointed me.

On the other hand, it's free.

What to do, what to do...?

These seem to be DLC for Train Simulator Classic, and not TGV voyages.
Fortunately, I have Train Simulator.
Unfortunately, I already have the free DLC.
(in fact, I seem to have accumulated ///52/// DLC for this stupid
game. I have no idea how. I guess they're frequently given away as
freebies?)

I had trouble too with the links.

Thanks for posting about this one. I always wanted to try one of these
Train Simulator games. The reviews are not the best but since I never
played one of these games before, I have nothing better to compare it
to.
