    Northampton No 4 to Althorp Park, more likely!

    Ultimately, will the release scheduled in the roadmap be pushed back to version 7?

    Actually your incorrect far more chance Germany because you neglected to remember DTG themselves based in Chatham itself UK so therefore UK player base native and DTG would be extremely dumb to risk that ire

    Germany has been left out before in TSW4. I get a very small part was in Germany but it was an Austrian route with an Austrian company. So no, I think you're wrong there.

    I'm going to say something crazy. Ready yourselves.

    4 new core routes with TSW7. Not all made by DTG. 4 countries - US, D, GB and one other. I think it could be the somewhat delayed Portuguese route or a Dutch route.

    This will lead to a rather bewildering number of purchase options as some existing DLC may get bundled in for top price versions, however, how about if those bundled routes were all remasters.

    Would be expensive. I'm already thinking of swerving the German and US routes this year due to budgetary cut-backs.

    It’s tough when costs start to pile up, isn't it? I’d also like to buy a route that doesn't have any bugs.

    Especially with all the external pressure this year, such as TF3 and the inbound add ons for ETS2 and ATS.

    I'm going to swerve the entire thing due to this, unless it really catches my eye. I'm trying to save up to restore my bus dammit! :D

    Here it is, if you're curious

    Expectations for ETS2and ATS are certainly high; their support and attitude are impeccable. In the realm of train sims, TSW was the first title I encountered that was riddled with bugs. It is disappointing to feel that their stance is essentially "as long as 80% of the game is playable, that's good enough," though I have come to accept this reality recently.
    With the Steam version, even when a new title is released, past DLCs remain on sale in a broken state—it really is a shame for new customers.

    i agree that there are a lot of bugs but it certainly is good enough to play
    it is rare that i encounter a real game stopping bug
    like a red light that refuse to go green or whatever else
    at least those have a good chance of being fixed if there are enough reports

    Train Simulator Classic has or had way more bugs
    but then that one is from DTG too :P
    and the realm of good Train Simulators for the pc is not that large
    only the last few years there have been released some good titles such as
    SimRail
    Running Train it certainly looks good but it does not contain a real rail route but an fictional one
    Railroads Online

    It’s a tricky issue, isn't it? Users would be understanding if the manufacturer provided a detailed explanation, but the real challenge lies in how they handle problems with a product that has already been released. Railway-themed titles are released in various countries, and manufacturers elsewhere do address these kinds of issues. Even if a visual glitch doesn't hinder the actual driving mechanics, if it disrupts the sense of immersion, it needs to be fixed. Remaining unresponsive or failing to provide a fix after a long period implies the product is incomplete.
