Dovetail Games Manchester Airport Commuter - Preview Q&a Thread

I didn't watch the stream was any questions answered or anything addressed. Thanks

 

It was a really good stream with Alan Thompson giving a great insight to why MAC was chosen and why it is the length it is. Nice to see the extras included like the depots and the detail at the Airport and Stations. Loads of questions asked and everything addressed, so watch the recording for answers.

 

Thanks

 

I'm having some difficulties finding a few of the answers from the Q&A thread. Accounting for me being daft and missing it, any chance you could help out with a timestamp for Glossop 323 suspension or loyalty discount

 

They mentioned that the 323 suspension was in last night on the stream and the cost of the route is £24.99 with a loyalty discount for steam users only of 20% making it £19.99, if you have the Glossop Line, which is on sale at present for £5.99. So three routes for £25.98 at present. Not forgetting the huge Depot at Longsight and sidings at Ardwick, Longsight, Manchester International and Stockport. Not forgetting the incredible Manchester Piccadilly concourse with Metro Tram stop and taxi rank.

 

Did they mention anything about the route task where are and are they easy to find. I quite enjoy looking for them give you chance to explore the route.

 

Yes, there are Bees, Trams and Newspapers. Please watch last night’s stream first, link below and also NealTV8 route task video which will be available later today!

What no maps

 

For all the surprises you will have to watch the stream. Too many excitable things to mention here!!!

 

Ok looking forward this when goes on sale.

 

Sorry but they confirmed the Glossop 323 WAS getting suspension? I can't seem to see that mentioned, again I'm not trying to be difficult bit you said they'd answered all the questions so I'm just trying to figure out what's the go.

Also, again, that's not what the question was. The question was in relation to the loyalty discount and NON steam players.

 

Please watch the stream, l posted a link earlier. It will answer many questions. On the loyalty discount as l said ‘steam users only’

 

I have watched the stream already.. I'm just trying to find the answers to the questions from the Q&A and they aren't there..

Not trying to be difficult. They aren't there..

And the question asked was specifically in relation to non steam users. I am aware that steam users get a *loyalty* discount which is why the question was about non steam users.

 

No mention of maps. I hope they're included too as they're a common thing across all routes, as far as I'm aware.

 

think it looked ok. not sure it will be day one, i think i want to see some reviews

 

What time does this release it thought it was 10am on xbox

 

Correct

 

I cant even find on the store

 

Come on, it's supposed to be 10:00 on steam, what's going on..

 

It’s definitely there, I bought it at 10.02!

 

What did you type in cause i been looking since 10am and I cant find it on xbox store or in game store. Edit its just popped up

 

I typed “Manchester” and it came up.

 

I done the same and found it straight away I kept typing train sim.

 

Very easy to get caught up in the intense enthusiasm of the stream and keep a level head!

 

Yes you have to remember that, despite the f bomb, these things are very much stage managed to present things in the best possible light. Which is why, the honest opinions in the feedback thread are much more valuable. I am still haunted (!) by the massive enthusiasm the streams for SoS conveyed and we know where that ended up, in the former content dustbin along with many other DLC.

 

There are no maps on this route

 

What waa the reasoning for no route maps.

 

Very true it’s a proven part of advertising to big things up like that and get everyone excited. That will be enough alone to make many people buy it, to be part of that excitement and enthusiasm.
I’m just asking myself do I need to drive trains I already own on 27 miles of mostly new scenery. The answer is probably yes I can but not until it’s substantially reduced.
I want a new unit on every new route if I’m going to buy from new. I see a tendency from DTG et al to rehash trains or bring in just new sub variants, a trend I’m not liking.
