My post/question is about a possible locomotive DLC. While there have been several locomotive add-on DLC's for Train Sim World's European countries (Germany being the most recent), I feel as though the American section of the game has been somewhat forgotten. Having said that, I (and I'm sure many others) would just love to see one of America's most iconic locomotives added to this beautiful game. So my question today is: Can we get an add-on DLC for the newer and more powerful AC4400CW locomotive for the N.E.C. section of the game?
I believe that's already part of the CSX:Heavy Haul DLC which is currently only available on PC as its resource requirements are too much for consoles.
Can they just add the locomotive and not the whole HH dlc? I would like to have it added on to NEC myself.
For the consoles this Loco DLC should be Free, since we do not have CSX: HH, and it is not fair to pay for one of the Locos that we should receive!
That's true, but I'm a train fan and I would like some type of six axle American locomotive added to the game. Lol at this point I'll buy the SD40-2, just put out something for US fans.
Why a free loco DLC for NEC? Isn’t better that loco included into a new route? Maybe better than NEC? P.S. now the AC4400CW is probably the locomotive with the worse physic in the whole game
WAIT! What you just said at the end there sir, would indicate they released the AC440CW. for ps4 finally is this the case? I have had the same stance on this matter when I bought the game. I absolutely am in love with this game. But I honestly bought it for my interest in this style of locomotives.
I’m only said that if what Digital Draftmen (I hope is wrote right) said few time ago is real we will see AC4400CW in next USA route.
Would a ac4400 be realistic on NEC. I honestly think that the gp38-2 and gp40-2 are enough for NEC since it's main freight is shunting.
It's four scenarios that the ac4400 could be used on with NEC. Two trash train runs and two manifest runs.
If you can remember, what are the other trash train missions? I've done all of NEC freight scenarios/services. Thanks
This whole "CSX: Heavy Haul is too resource heavy blah-blah-blah" bulls#!t is getting old. I don't CARE if it would cost an extra $40 for the expansion; I'm willing to pay that price. My patience is wearing thin with this (as I'm sure you all can tell). I KNOW it can be done! The CSX: Heavy Haul expansion would bring in a lot more money for them, so they're running out of excuses. Y'all caught me on a bad day, obviously. I'm not usually quite the a$$hole I'm portraying today, but what I said I stand by. It's time console users get the CSX:HH expansion.
It isn't possible as it is too resource intensive, that's the truth. Hopefully the AC4400CW will be re-used at some point, in which case console users will be able to get the loco then.
Why don't DTG work on the resources required for Heavy Haul while they get information about there next route. Sure it may take awhile but it is possible. So how it would work would be Heavy Haul would be a secondary route they work on for consoles while there getting the information about the next route dlc.
They have limited staff and a lot of things to do. From fixing Bugs to creating new Routes / Features. So if they see that it would need a lot of work to get it to run on Consoles they might skip it or get back to it later. If was never promised to be on Consoles in the first place. But maybe they will suprise us with that at one point.
But when the route is glitchy, crashes and visually flawed because the PS4 can't handle the way it was built you won't be happy then. Especially if it has been deliberately made worse to allow it to actually run on the console. I would rather not have it than have something compromised in a rush. Hopefully they can do something for the console, but it may have to be a scratch built HH alternative.
