Road Map Train Sim World 4 Roadmap - Part 2: August 24th

We are sorry to say that, at this stage, we will not be releasing these updates to Train Sim World 2.

Ahaha.

it is causing more issues than it resolves with the way the builds now work.

This is why you fix / finish your current game before releasing the next one.

 

So good to hear that these are finally being fixed! VERY BIG W FROM DTG!!!!!!

 

I thought they said in the presentation that scoring would be updated on old routes. But it won't.

"Since this is a new scoring system it has to be applied to content specifically so we will be using it on TSW4 content from now on. Older content will still use the original scoring system."

 

Pleased to see this. I hope that means the DBpbzfa is also fixed in Timetable ?

 

I'm sorry, why on earth should we believe you?

 

Good to know they straight up lied. This company is a joke

 

Still no comment on Glossop line? Why?

 

Will the stream go into more details?

Ever heard of "if you have nothing nice to say, then don't say it?"
Old software can't be supported forever.

 

Something to point out here in this picture...


This looks like the lower corner of an Amtrak Superliner car, me thinks DTG did more than visit Metrolink while in LA...

 

Yup, certainly isnt one of the Metrolink rotems.

 

DTG manages to leak one more thing it seems like

 

Ever heard of freedom of speech and expression? It's not like I'm breaking any rules.

It's clear they lied to their customers

When I hear comments like that, it reminds me of dictatorships

 

Also:

Amtrak paperwork in a Siemens-looking cab

I think you mean tease

 

Before I even read the roadmap I have a question/request for the stream:
Can you play the trailer either at the beginning or end of the stream as it is the best one you have made yet and would be nice to see that masterpiece of graphics mixed with Depeche Mode's greatest piece of music again. I suppose you could say I just can't get enough of it.

 

Makes me feel like a 2nd LA route will come in the future, spanning between LA and Oceanside.....

 

Any of these maybe

 

Oh my, between the two parts of this article, there's too much information for my old brain to absorb. I'll have to eat this meal in small bites. Fortunately, there's a whole month in which to digest it.

Where's the Gaviscon?

 

At least use the Surfliner varient of the SC44.

 

Boooooooo! Shame on you for not fixing TSW2. Broken promises do not look good.

 

Yeah, they didn't take an expensive trip out to the Golden State just for Metrolink, it would seem.

 

Ok, that sounds like greater transparency but it isn't. Apparently you can come up with a specific release date for TSW4 but not for the remaining TSW3 updates. That sounds like you're just dragging your feet and feels more like an optional side project that may or may not get done.

Forget about TSW3, what can we expect from TSW4. How long will you be providing game updates and when will you stop supporting it before people will have to buy into a new version. How about some real transparency for once.

 

I was pleased to read this in the roadmap:
'(and that’s why we have now added a Setting option to turn OFF the score display)'

Looking forward to the stream actually and will be able to comment on the Youtube as I have been given some free time and had that account set up for the Direct stream.

 

P42 come to papa

 

Just because you have the "freedom" to say something, still doesn't mean you should. Especially if its a baseless accusations, like a company lying.

 

Eh we have the proof it happened at least twice

 

I only searched up Siemens Amtrak so blame google

 

DTG "We are working to get the tsw2 updates released after the release of tsw 3. We are waiting for approiate slots to release the updates"

When they don't do what they said, how is that not lying?

 

Well, let's be honest, we all knew this was coming sooner or later. I guess I'm just glad they're patching NYT and the Baby Bullet. Pity about Oakville, though, so much potential.

Not sure I totally believe the explanation, sounds a bit like dissembling to me. And they should never have peddled that nonsense about " waiting for a release window ".

But I'll live with it. It's a business after all. My life is more than train simming.

 

They "ARE WORKING", they worked to get them released.
And as per the post, they WORKED on it, the work proved too illogical to complete without causing major issues with later variants of the code.
They never promised they'd make it to the final build.

 

lying/gaslighting take your pick, it is a pattern though and that is the sad thing and why I can't really accept the apology, I really have no confidence it won't happen again.

 

They also said that the updates were ready but they were waiting for a release slot. That clearly wasn't true so again why do you think they didn't lie. Doesn't matter the reason. They still lied

 

Agreed. It’s shameful. They’ve been stalling us all this time. Again. I’m glad I’ve waited with investing in TSW3. Never got any DLC for that game. Because I was waiting to finally finish TSW2. No way I’m jumping on TSW4 train.

 

If Possible could we please hear the new Sounds of the BR187 in the announced Dresden-Riesa Stream?

 

Apparently though from what I've been told they somehow didn't lie. That statement in of itself is absurd.

 

It could be "never", right?
When October rolls, they will say things like:

The November roadmap might contain a small section stating:

And by the new year, it will not even be mentioned anymore, as they will be busy with fixes for TSW4 content.
I don't know why I have this strange feeling of déjà vu. Did somebody tweak The Matrix?!

 

No full California Zephyr then

 

ALC-42 go brrrrrt

 

Just wanted to say I’ve been watching the roadmap and the images of the upcoming routes have got some very stunning scenery, it also appears the draw distance either looks or has been extended. Very nice work being done, looks very realistic and the mountain scenery has particularly come a long way.

 

jaw distance yeah the screenshots are nice and I've a feeling volumetric fog is a big upgrade to the visuals, possibly at night too. The kicker will be what the infamous Dresden night lighting looks like now.

 

not even a spelling error on my part literally thought it was spelled as I’ve heard it sound

 

No one expects software to be supported forever. Just for the life of the software. People who bought TSW2 DLC in good faith (and, going forward, TSW3) have a right to expect bugs and game breaking issues to be fixed ASAP. I seem to remember them saying they’ve fixed a load of stuff for TSW2 and are just waiting for a release slot. It seems that they have given up waiting.

 

The kicker could also be how these features will impact performance.
If my XSX stutters on most TSW3 routes, how will it cope with volumetric fog and increased "jaw distances"?

 

you can toggle it off in the settings apparently

 

Do you know when will get to stop markets Southeastern high speed for the class 700

 

yes this was in the first roadmap article, stop markers for 700 on SEHS will be available on release of TSW4, as long as you buy TSW4.
