    Horse. Barn door.

    Besides, it's not like Sam doesn't know. He was on here an hour and a half ago.

    He's not the all-seeing eye, if he doesn't go into a thread, he has no idea what are it's contents. Also, just because someone has a tab open with a page loaded doesn't mean they're actively using the site.

    What are you their lawyer? Or do you think they're unable to speak to themselves? I literally hate it when people speak on behalf of others when no one asked them to.

    No; but when they "Like" comments they are.

    It would have been hard then (or now) to come onto the forums and not notice all the Rush Hour leak threads right at the top of the list.

    They can still bring that with a timetable add on.

    Something has obviously gone wrong for the article to have come out so soon. Having read the article and the FAQ’s I’m quietly confident this is legitimate. If it wasn’t, and Sam has been online, I’m sure we’d have seen something to stop the drool over everything that’s wrong. If it is fake, it’s an excellent fake.

    I think a fake would not have been shut down so quickly on a Sunday.
    And by the way - if DTG was my company I would have been very happy about the leak. It tuned the criticism against HBL down massively and everyone is speaking about Tuesday and this years release now - nothing better could have happened from a marketing perspective...

    By the way I think we will see some 3D artist vacancies soon. The lack of new rolling stock even in the major release looks like there are some deeper reasons for this...

    I'm not convinced something went wrong. This "leak" could have been intentional- in fact, it would be very odd indeed for someone at DTG to have been working on a Sunday morning during a bank holiday weekend, unless there was a specific reason to be mucking around with the dev website at that unusual time.

    Exactly. Accident or "accident"?

    I must admit, my frustration at HBL has subsided somewhat after seeing this leak. So perhaps it was an accident on purpose.

    Yup. Mine too. I actually am looking forward to it, especially how my son will react to the ACS-64 - he loved it in NEC :)

    Agreed. This" leak" does DTG no harm at all, and merely serves to heighten interest and excitement for Tuesday's major announcement. The "buzz" is all over the forums. Perfect business strategy.

    The ACS-64 is a superb loco.

    Oh my god, if this is true... I'm gonna spend waaay to many hours on all of these. (Boston is my absolute favourite city in the US ;) )

    You think there's a high chance of this new update being released before August? Only saying this as last year TSW 2 was announced in June which was a month later than this one. Or are DTG fairly consistent when it comes to annual updates releasing?

    As if the effort and URL of the leaked site, along with it being taken down, wasn't enough confirmation- this teaser has the exact same stripes as the artwork in the leaked article, despite releasing after the leak. Just to erase any remaining doubt that the leak was real

    Won't be the first time something has been "accidentally" leaked. Look at the interest it's stirred up. Quite a clever marketing ploy.

    A Boring Sunday is on fire on the DTG Forum today to get a lot of views and Comments.
    That was a Marketing Gag from Dovetail.

    Whoever is responsible for the "leak" should get a pay raise.

    Almost 12 hours and no denials from DTG, no announcement that it was fake. Crickets. Pretty solid evidence it's not fake.

    I usually don't spend much time on the forums on Sundays, it's usually a little quiet. Today has been about the "buzziest" I've ever seen them. Quite absorbing, to say the least.

    Well, there’s already a fake instagram page that copy and pastes posts from the official page, including screenshot contest winners, and advertises new routes wording them using the exact marketing phrases that dovetail would use..

    Yes, conveniently the two trains that actually have different liveries from existing routes are compatible in livery designer whilst the ACS isn’t and still has the same Amtrak livery..

    According to the FAQs it is summer 2021 release which 21 June to 22 September. So maybe a July release or early August. I reckon 15 July, 22 July, 29 July or 5 August.

    Yes, but also the page was taken down, the artwork uses not omly the boston backdrop but the same striping that the latest teaser image had *despite* leaking *before* that teaser image, the URL looks lke an *official dovetail URL* which if fake would be hard to obtain, and, most telling of all, DTG has not said anything about it. Sam *was* online earlier today. You'd think they'd really want to dispel such a massive false leak like this as quickly as possible, right?

    As for the existing rolling stock, probably just... they're not ready yet. I mean, keep in mind how late some of the rolling stock has been finished and textured, as seen in dev posts for a couple of routes lately. Thus, no MBTA yet, for example, and the 387 probably isn't quite done either.

    Plus, they probably want to spread out the hype by giving each new route its own spotlight and showing the first clear images then.

    I hope the immersion controller improvements include at least one or two of the suggestions I’ve made, including use of a shift button, to add an extra layer of controls, two-tone horn and AFB control. All functions that require you to take your eyes off the windscreen if you use them without a keyboard connected.

    The wording just seems odd to me.
