    None of us work for dtg and dtg don't tend to respond to the suggestions thread of the forums. The horn on the m7 needs to indeed be updated because it's unrealistic.

    There’s nothing more needs adding, certainly no more videos recorded off your television as they are of no help to DTG or to us. DTG are fully aware of what the DE 30 is and what services it runs on LIRR, and will already have access to more detailed information on it than you can provide. There have also been many suggestions on the forum for it already. You have made your suggestion in the first few posts of this thread, and really it should have ended there. There’s nothing more you need to do, your suggestion will have been noted and added to the others.

    Look around the forum for other topics to join in with.

    Not even close. The biggest mistake they made was over-promising when TSW was still in the early stages of development.

    Precisly. Things such as multiplayer, an editor. Things that they kept saying would come but have not come at all for understandable reasons of course. At least they learned to not say something if they know it can be done

    Im not surprised the MTA is being real hush hush with their LIRR diesels. They were lemons when they first arrived. So many issues. So many fixes needed. It would probably be a pain to accurately re-create it's operations.

    The problem with that DE training sim is it is not up to date. I've been in the cabs of real DE30's and they are way different from that.
    Differences:
    Horn is a lever not a button
    Alerter is a joystick not a button
    The independent brake has a peice of metal stopping the bail off EDIT: the independent has a ring on the lever. When turning it, it bails off the BCP
    The giant screen on top of the power area is supposed to be a radio
    Atc system limits are changed to "15 30 38 60 70 80" Also it has the speed limit next to it
    Throttle is silver

    Excellent addition and remember Montauk line trains if they need to go to Jamaica they actually divert from the main Montauk Branch at Babylon to join the Mainline at Bethpage Junction. That track is called the central branch which is also used by Ronkonkoma Branch Z trains with DM30ACs. For those Ronkonkoma DM30ACs Z trains electric mode Penn Station to Babylon Diesel Mode Central Branch Babylon Bethpage Junction then the final leg is actually back to electric mode Bethpage Junction to Ronkonkoma. Third rail in that area dates back to December 28th 1987 when the Hicksville Ronkonkoma electrification was completed. Back to the DE30AC Locomotive if they need to run on the mainline as part of the scenario or timetable mode Montauk Branch Patchogue to Jamaica they're usually Express to Babylon via Main Line Skipping Floral Park New Hyde Park merillon Avenue Carle Place and Westbury. Those only stop at Mineola and Hicksville Babylon via Central Branch then all stations to Patchogue from Babylon. The excellent idea for Dovetail Game to release DE30AC is Port Jefferson Branch Hicksville Port Jefferson and Central Branch Babylon Bethpage Junction Hicksville. Note Bethpage Junction to Hicksville is Electrified since 1985- December 28th 1987 as part of Ronkonkoma Hicksville electrification project. Link is by Dave Keller http://www.trainsarefun.com/lirr/Ronkonkoma/ronkelectrification.htm

    The updates coming to LIRR are bug fixes and improvements done by the preservation crew, so no DE-30 yet.


    Also: please do not bump a thread for the sake of it as it can lead to it getting locked. I would only bump it if you have any more images or info on the suggestion.

    the port Jefferson Branch would be awesome if dovetail makes a dual mode diesel locomotive for the Lirr because that means dovetail would need to extend the route to syosset,cold spring harbor,Huntington,greenlawn,northport,smithtow,st James,stony brook and port Jefferson.
