Train Sim World 7 - Discussion

Just watched the TSS YT clip and he suggests a possible link with Gamescon, albeit neither DTG or TSW are exactly on a footing with GTA6 etc.

 

I've never understood the point of those ridiculous countdowns.

 

NO WAY
(EDIT: FALSE ALARM, NOT FOR TSW7)

its an asset for Ilkley station on artstation, the description reads its for a "rail simulation project" which could be TSW7

This is a different asset to the one in TS Classic, not a perfect screenshot, but you can tell its different!



The northern 333 leak, the Ilkley asset...

This is all adding up to Airedale and Wharfdale lines!

 

WAIT A SEC...

the asset is made with unity, NOT UNREAL ENGINE.

What the hell is this?

 

Pretty much confirms it then. Screenshot taken before the mod hammer comes down. Still on the fence about it of course as Leeds/Bradford/Ilkley/Skipton would be a good network, but the 158 will be wasted if we don’t go to Carlisle. It also depends who is doing the 333 in particular the sounds. I couldn’t take another audio abomination like the 385 - I would rather listen to SimRail’s buzzing CD 163!

 

Now looking at it, it might be harder to explain than I thought.

the asset used is with a totally different game engine. Not the one used in TSW, but for simrail...


But...there are currently no routes in simrail that are British...

What the hell could be the meaning of this?

 

so, turns out the asset was posted May 2025, too early for TSW7


FALSE ALARM FALSE ALARM!


dammit.

 

Focus Entertainment, Dovetails parent company iirc, are an exhibitor at GamesCon - could be related to DTG needing to push their Direct to allow other focus IP to shine in the limelight?

 

Turns out, the Ilkley asset is actually for a real life train simulation software, and not even a game...



it is available to book for those wanting to give it a go...

Looks like i got fooled hard...DAMN YOU SIMFACTOR!!

 

I bet DTG are loving reading all this as much as I am.

I’m surprised they’re not hyping us up for it now as it’s so close but MrSouthernDriver is doing it for them, you might see yourself hired as the new community manager if you keep this up

 

I guess i really am just this good

 

Either way you’re making it very entertaining and making me chuckle, so thank you

 

Stand down then... though given the comments TSS showed from Lucazone (Skyhook) on his clip with delight about a Northern 158, the Leeds Local still 2/1 favourite at Vern's bookies. Though as I said previously, not going to Carlisle would be a travesty and if, as suspected, the Northern 158 is the Deluxe train DLC it's a bit of a cheap shot making that a reskin rather tan something entirely new.

 

Out of curiosity Vern, how much further is Carlisle from the speculated route? From what I’ve seen it doesn’t seem to have a logical end point? I wish they’d just attempt to do full routes rather than snippet after snippet over various time periods. It’s all a bit inconsistent

 

Please beware that sharing leaks can cost you you're access to the forums. You are searching for everything to found a clue but it's shared last year that showing leaks or things that are not public are prohibited here on the forums. It's not my decision but i think they have show you already that sharing stuff isn't allowed by removing this stuff.

 

Skipton is a logical endpoint as that's where the electrification ends. I think extending it to Carlisle would make the main line around 4.5x as long.

 

Oh, so are those really ‘leaks’ if he’s showing screenshots from the Steam database, where they’re publicly visible to everyone??

We’ve known for a year now that TSW 7 is coming out; what DTG is getting up to in this forum is just childish!
DTG is deleting posts containing images that anyone else can see on Steam too – why is DTG doing that? Because, in my view, these aren’t real leaks.
