    If this route is coming to the game, l sincerely hope that the Keighley to Oxenhope extension is added and it would be absolutely fabulous if a ‘Railway Children’ train could be added as well, as this would bring some extra game time to add to the nostalgia of the route.

    Maybe the big surprise will be no new routes at all, but three signalling simulations including at least one in a manual signalbox so we can play with block bells and levers.

    Yes though it would be good on the JT routes to work one of the boxes with all those lovely 80's trains going past, one day perhaps.

    Vern you could try this instead-

    I'll keep an eye on that one. Always a bit of a shame that "The Railway" which the guy from IHH was working on, seemed to vanish. From what I saw doing some testing it was shaping up quite nicely but then it all went quiet.

    I don't know why you keep saying this. If DTG was against speculation they would have nuked this entire thread already. Not to mention they partner with a Youtube channel (Train Sim Society) that frequently posts videos about TSW leaks and speculation. Obviously DTG don't want internal leaks or people breaking NDAs, but I think they’re very aware that speculation drives community engagement and is literally free PR for new content.

    Don't see how that 'joke' fits within serious discussions around TSW's 7th iteration, and how am I supposed to know? I am european, I don't know geography. :P

    I should have left the quote in, but:

    The latter route not being real wasn't part of the joke, it was the closest I could think of to a real A-I route in the USA.

    UK Loco DLCs I'd love to see for TSW7.

    The class 55
    Class 50
    33/1 and 33/2 (possibly in a pack with the 33/0)
    Class 56
    Class 24/25/26/27 (again, in a pack would be awesome).

    I don't think we'll get them but I'd love it.

    Last time I looked no one was holding a gun to your head to buy it or buy the DLC.
    Your Choice to buy or not to buy it.

    weak argument, since that’s not what my point is about
    my point is: all this just to keep the "new" game on the front page of digital stores for a few days
    if there were substantial changes... but we all know there won't be, it will be more of the same, just with added bugs

    The issue is that we have to redownload content we have already paid for, content that gets more and more broken every year.

    Have we got odds on which platform will lose access to their content temporarily this time? :D

    Wouldn't be surprised if it was ps5, which is the platform i use, the dlc issues with that have been a lot.

    Last year DTG had to ask Sony to increase the DLC size for PS5, due to the amount of DLCs, if im remembering it correctly.

    I said it before, ill say it again, TSW7 will be the iteration that makes or breaks it for me.

    DTG here has the opportunity to turn the optimisation, issues and performance of the game around.

    For years, this game has suffered from widespread issues and bugs, and in TSW6, especially, it has gotten to a tipping point, the blurry textures are just one of the indicators of what's going on underneath, the core is outdated, and it needs fixing.

    the core cant take anymore, if DTG keeps the same core that we have had in TSW6 and all the previous iterations, the game will break.

    when I joined this game back in 2018, 13 year old me had a dream that TSW would end up being one of the greatest train games of all time.

    Please DTG, I still have a tiny tiny shred of hope left for you to lock in, and turn the ship away from the iceberg.

    If you are on PC I believe you can just drag the DLCs from the TSW6 DLC folder to the TSW7 DLC folder. I think that worked for me last year.

    No that won't work.... The TSW6 version is different then the newer version that will come. They don't support each other. The newer game version needs optimization for every already exiting DLC to let them work.
