I just hope they are doing the unsilenced version of the 750, as they are (were) very reminiscent of a Sulzer Type 2.
So, apparently, this Czech railway line is supposed to be equipped with Eaos/Eas (?), Roos/Ros(?), Laeers(?), and Zacs/Zacns freight wagons, as well as diesel locomotives (from the images leaked so far)? A good reason to buy it, if so.
New trains and rolling stock in the game is always a good thing. I think we’ve had enough variants of the same locos recently. I’m still undecided if this will be a day one purchase from me though. Maybe the preview stream will win me over.
The czech asset pack was already distributed to players when Dovetail pushed yet another wrong build of the game to players, so it's safe to assume that it's pretty late into testing by now. Vector Sim also have a long history of good delivery of extremely high quality, so I assume that any delays will go after Dovetail, just as the patch for E94 is sitting in their office since July last year. The only thing I fear is that they would wave off some bugs for release to fix them in a patch soon after, and DTG never allowing them to release said patch too. Otherwise we should get an addon that is on par or above JT stuff.
I’m the same as you with waiting to see what the preview stream looks like first. The loco looks great though. Not sure what the actual scenery is like in this route. Curious.
From the screenshots, the scenery looks TSG or JT quality. If you're asking about the IRL scenery, expect a lot of greenery close to the tracks, some narrow valleys next to the Jizera river between Semily and Turnov and overall hilly terrain.
The scenery looks nice, and there are also two completely new locomotives, as well as several freight cars, a train car, and even a control car. If that's the case (though to be sure, we'll need to see a detailed presentation of the add-on), the routes we've been offered so far, with at most one new train and the same old rolling stock, are a joke. Or will this Czech Republic route cost €70?
