Upcoming Release Course Set For Czechia: Liberec - Stará Paka - Coming 10th March!

£33 for this wow thought would have been £25 seeing as its a single line route.

 

Sounds like a very comprehensive experience with a mixture of passenger, freight and pick-up/drop-off services.

I will probably purchase this dlc at some point, but not at a price of $45. That's just too expensive, especially with all the other routes and trains dropping like flies right now.

 

$45? (1500 rubles) It's very expensive, i'll have to wait for discounts, alas

 

Ok point taken but you have wcml over shap more then twice the length and just has much variation for the same price.

 

if you think pricing should be entirely down to mileage then maybe you’re not familiar enough with the pricing structure of tsw

 

No i just dont get how can some routes cost just has much as other routes when they are shorter. To me means less value for money thats my opinion tho. Its not just this route these a few like it.

 

What’s the justification of the price being more than usual?

 

Looks very good, and is very tempting. But not at that price.
I'll stick to it and will wait for a discount, and for the first impressions to dribble in.

 

I think i will wait until i have seen the preview and see what others say it performs like on xbox. I have feeling its gonna be not that great . But time will tell i hope its good. Then I might consider buying even tho its a bit on the pricy side.

 

Hyped! Take my money!

 

Super excited for this and only a week to go

 

I'm thrilled with this announcement and want to congratulate the development team on their first release! I was really looking forward to seeing content from the Czech Republic; I didn't believe it would ever happen! I hope the release goes smoothly. First-day purchase. I'm very interested in the route and rolling stock, and I want to support the development team! I look forward to more exciting content from the team in the near future! Good luck!

 

We have regional prices, so it will probably be cheaper. And what's $45 these days? Just a one-time grocery trip to the supermarket.

 

Man that Soviet-esque looking 750 looks goooood.

Live stream & other gameplay is going to be pretty dependant for me here, £33 is more than I expected to be honest, and whilst it does look really good, the Dutch route was good quality too, however it lacked much reason to go back & replay it often.

Not at all saying it’s not worth the asking price, it’s more about what I’ll get out of it & there are cheaper routes I’ve got more out of than expensive ones. For me this price does also bring more light onto the lack of licensing, something I’d overlooked until it dropped as one of the most expensive packs you can buy.

In any case, I look forward to seeing gameplay.

Also if anyone can answer, as far as I can tell, the passenger services are end to end runs, so are we to expect loco run arounds/coach shunting at either end of the route?

 

"There are several types of freight services on the route, but the most involved are the Mn trains (Manipulační vlak/Manipulation train) which will keep you at your busiest. These trains gradually run their way up and down the line over the course of the day, picking up and dropping off wagons at each principal station, industry or yard. A full shift of these movements can take the entire day to complete, and include mainline running, drop offs, pick-ups and shunting!"

YES PLEASE. This is exactly what we've been asking for.
Now to see if they deliver on the promise that DTG hasn't.

 

Shap is longer, but could have far less depth to be fair. 75km is not a "short" route, and from the description (no one knows exactly until it releases), it could have a lot more stock and stuff to do. If not for layering from other pre-existing UK stock, there'd only be one loco for WCMLOS, not two, and not in several liveries.
If the freight works out to be actual shunting and "in depth" as promised (again PROMISED), then that'll be something nearly unique in DTG since DTG seems to have more or less given up on complete freight runs for the past 5 years.

Now will I get it at full cost?
Maybe.
If it has good reviews.
Been burned a few times by promises that didn't turn out.
However, it's not an unfair price if it delivers what's promised.
Certainly I can see it having MORE value to me than Shap if it pans out.
We'll see when it releases.

The two things holding it back are a) lack of an existing ecosystem that the UK or Germany have for layers and b) it's an unknown company until they prove themselves. The actual route itself LOOKS decent. If it were what is promised I think the price isn't amazing but it's fair.

 

Ok fair enough wcml shap come with 4 locos an 87 47 08 and 101.

 

There is a unit which has a passenger wagon attached to it so I assume it has to do a turn round move at the end point

 

Yes sorry just to be clear I do mean with a coach attached. Just wondering how it’s done in reality, weather the 843 self shunts or a second unit gets involved.

 

Are you seriously going to claim it's a unique, new feature to copy paste a Class 47 on a route?
Compared with building 2 custom new trains in multiple liveries?
C'mon you know better than that.
New custom locos that aren't copy-pastes like Shap are running for $16.99 apiece as DLC.
It'd be like adding the Class 220 in with the Riviera Line release. What do those cost bundled?
If you don't want to buy it, then that's fine.
It's just not outrageously priced.
It's fair for what it is compared to other TSW DLC.

 

Ok we will leave at that i bid you a good evening. FYI if it holds up on xbox then I buy it .

 

Just hoping the preview stream will be a bit more bearable than last two times. Stick to the topic. Get the facts right. Not too much irrelevant nonsense. I’m watching to get a good preview of the product and whether it’s worth my money. If I want a Big Show, I’ll watch Michael McIntyre on Saturday, ta

 

I’ve not paid more than £30 for a DLC to date and I’m yet to be convinced that this will be the first to break that rule

 

Wow, very impressed with the variety of the roling stock. Two new trains, all those different colour schemes, 4(!) new freight waggons (and two more...). Looking forward to see more in the stream and will definately buy this route as soon as it comes out...

Its like with all passion projects (and by the looks of it I am assuming this will be one of those), you just know it will be good!

 

Dropping like flies? I'd hope not!

 

Was expecting £33 as that has been the going rate for a route with two new traction types for some time. Though unlike the German or UK routes they can't drop in much of the way in layers to sweeten the deal.

However I do think there is a strong case at these pricing levels to bring back the 10% off pre release purchase discount, which would drop it in around the slightly more friendly £30 mark.

 

Well let's wait what the first customer tests reveal.

In the meantime i have a real train to clean up and decorate

 

That discount is dead & buried. They were basically giving away every 10th copy & likely saw better income without it. The people that buy at launch likely aren’t bothered by £2/3.

Personally if I wasn’t going to buy at £33, I wouldn’t at £30 either.

 

I Watch the stream now for a few minutes and wow mind blowing what a route and the sound.... WTF so good!!!!

 

A polite request DTG.
When showcasing a preview can you let the punters know what build version is being shown please?

 

I’ll be waiting for a sale. Not buying this at £33!

 

I felt obligated to come and express how much I loved the sound of the class 750 diesel engine
it sounds so powerful

 

Ok ta Harry.

 

I know Matt P isn’t an advocate of this request because it ‘breaks immersion’ but I do think it would be a nice feature if there was an option of changing the language on driver info screens to English or from English to a players local language!

 

Watching the stream right now and I asked if 642 is equipped with mirel

 

Im 99% sure its not! Its a layer Train.

 

Oh I hear where you're coming from but that over £30 is still a psychological break point, to some extent. However you do have to wonder at the economics of DTG's operation when SimRail can afford to sell a 100km route extension and a new train via a bundle for just over £13 which also included a 10% discount off what will be the full selling price. And yes, what would have been £9.89 instead of £10.99 for each item does make a Day One purchase more amenable and then the bundle sweetener on top clinched it.

Anyhow all that said, it does look as if this will be worth the money but there will come a point at which players may decide they have had enough of paying a surcharge to subsidise the expensive offices in Chatham...

 

I don't think so since it is just a layer from maintalbahn

 

Not watching are they streaming on pc or console.

 

It is really good. A lot of love has been put into it! It has Niddertalbahn vibes!

 

For me $40 is a red line and one which I won't cross for a single track route. 45 miles with just a few possible meets, though having a freight component is a plus. I have a feeling this dlc will go on sale fairly soon and with all the other routes coming up, especially Crewe to Preston and NY to Stamford, I need to be selective.
So it’s a pass for me for the moment.

 

Yeah Niddertalbahn Plus i will say! It sets a complete new standard

 

Isn't simrail kinda double dipping since they make it for the professional simulator? Also even if you put the two DLCs together, it is still 25€ for a train and a route with pretty lackluster scenery (hopefully there are fixes coming, Lodz looks more like a park than a huge city). Here you get a route and two trains. If we add an additional train to it like the impuls it still comes up to like 37€ for it, not even counting the new four freight wagons included in the TSW route.

 

Sorry, I’m a bit tired of hearing about the differences between SimRail and TSW. It’s an apples‑to‑oranges comparison, and I don’t like that.

Nothing justifies the argument about why one should be cheaper than the other, and the whole discussion about pricing is incredibly unreasonable. SimRail is a completely different studio with its own way of working, so the two have nothing in common. You wouldn’t go to a Renault dealership and complain that their cars are too expensive because BMW sells cheaper ones… It’s simply rude, but online that kind of behaviour has somehow become normal. All I can really say is: if you prefer SimRail so much, then just go play SimRail and stop complaining. I don't mind!!!!

 

Um, why are you responding like this to me? I didn't bring up Simrail. I love both games and play them about equally actually.

 

Sorry, but this obviously applies to everyone who keeps making these comparisons here or talking about pricing between both games. Sorry if it came across as directed at you in particular.

 

Watch the stream and looks awsome but I can see consoles struggling with this route. I hope im wrong I really want this route now.
