    Really?! Then please explain as to why every German route except DRA has included at least 1 new train at launch.

    You are complaining for the sake of complaining. Then to call dtg lazy because they aren't meeting your quota of having x number of releases each year? You are acting like dtg can just quickly make a route and release a dlc each week or something. Routes take a large amount of time and resources to make. It also requires planning. They also can't cram more things in because the roadmap is already full. That's like asking the developers to work overdrive with zero breaks. You are also making misleading claims. You are accusing dtg of making less content for said continent without any evidence to back you up. Tsg can't pump out a dlc every 6 months since that is impossible because they have a much smaller team. Niddertalbahn took slightly over a year to make. Shows you don't understand game development. Make your own product if you want german and uk routes to release each week. The editor is there so use it.

    it is not false. i live here and i know it very well. Köln aachen even has the wrong loco for the dostos. in real life there are driving the 146.0 and 146.1 and not the 146.2. and i can see that from not even living in germany but living to the border

    bro what do u want from me now. i sayd im to the border. even if its 30 mins away. the köln aachen was just an example of the reusing of DTG the same is with the 363. like it drives nowhere.. the 294 would be the right loco for all routes where the 363 is used butt dtg is lazy..

    So you want more german routes but you think they german routes are boring and the same? Sounds hypocritical that you want more, but you dislike the country.

    The 146.2 is layering in from MSB, layers and reusing are 2 different things.

    Well the good news is, the editor exists now. So you can go make the perfect German Route, with all the accurate locos. Can then become a third party, and sell it to everyone. Everyone wins from that. We can all get non "bland" German routes as you say.

    There are so many German trains in Tsw that are not Dostos and besides maybe Skw, I wouldn’t call any of the German routes in tsw 'blanc'

    I actually really like Koln - Aachen, it was my favourite German route until DRA released and I certainly wouldn't call either of them routes 'blanc'

    Incorrect. While it is true that the V90 would be more appropriate for most routes, it is incorrect to claim that the V60 “drives nowhere”. I pass a bunch of V60s still in daily use each day.

    The UK hasn't had a DTG route since TSW4's release.
    Germany has.

    Care to guess why the UK is next up...?
    German routes are... realistic, then. Good job Dovetail!

    Profit is the most important thing for a company. Correct.

    Everybody here is obviously wrong and the only person who is right is the one who thinks all German routes are boring but is complaining there aren’t more of them. It’s hard to argue with that on any level as we have seen.
    You only joined on Monday and this is your only thread. You can’t lie your way out of looking silly. If there is a route you want go and suggest it.

    If DTG really didn't give two monkeys about German routes, I very much doubt there would be any German content at all.

    My impression is that German fans get the best of TSW in terms of quantity and quality.

    If anybody has the right to complain it's US/Canadian players who have gotten short shrift the past couple of years.

    ( Although if I were in the UK I wouldn't be too happy with the recent spate of offerings either.)

    but not on the TSW routes. V60 are almost completly replaced. there is one in stuttgart hbf but this will only be there until the new station is build. V60 you could see that loco 4 years ago but today no.

    Then the same applies for UK and US players using that logic. Spoiler alert: it doesn't.

    And please don't go dictating people's opinions.

    Well, let me tell you this as a german player. My favorite route still is (probably will ever be even if it doesn't get extended/upgraded in the future): Dresden-Riesa.

    The amount of locos to drive there is outstanding, plus the scenery and the railways within the urban regions of Dresden and even the agrocultural regions beyond Radebeul are an outstanding experience, I couldn't experience with any other german route yet.

    I really hoped for a map upgrade or extension for the airport branch or an extension further up from Großenhain for the TSW4 overhaul of the route. But it didn't happen. Just added volumetric fog, rain and whether effects as well as some minor signal changes.
    Wasn't happy about that for a while as much as I didn't want to purchase TSW4. Last but not least, I got more interested in thew new TSW4 routes and especially the Editor, and grabbed standard on discount.

    Bremen-Oldenburg which I heard of has a lot of traffic on it now is on my wishlist for future purchases.

    Köln-Aachen was nice but I miss diversity, which the new timetable upgrade maybe adds to it.

    Hamburg-Lübeck, a little too less going on it, the stations and route layout are not 100% appealing to me although the route is pretty popular. There has been a suggestion for an extension to Travemünde or Timmendorfer Strand (very popular beach of the baltic sea in germany) or its surroundings. I really welcome this idea + loco upgrade to make the route more appealing to me, would really level the route up a lot for me.

    Tharandter Rampe is lengthwise super-duper, but I kind of miss the variety on the route and scenery isn't as much appealing to me as the S-Bahn route towards Riesa from Dresden so that I didn't pulled the trigger to purchase it, yet. But I saw a video on YouTube with the 642 on it, and having this loco there makes the DLC better.

    Linke Rheinstrecke (also covering my birthplace Koblenz) seems also very good. Many unique assets. Only thing is that it could have been a little bit more detail here and there when it comes to ships and riverboats on the Rhine etc. Rhine for the most part looks a little too emtpy for what's happening there in real life.

    Kassel-Würzburg, very nice long route but as others said a bit boring if you're not the highspeed rush type and just want to enjoy scenery. But a very good thing for speed rushers.

    Aschaffenburg-Gemünden: Only intersting for me because of the Dostos. Otherwise from the scenery, not really impressive to me.

    Maintalbahn and München-Augsburg also on my wishlist, but I miss variety and more detail on both from what I saw in YouTube videos.

    Can't really say much about the Ruhrgebiet routes yet. Not so attracting to me and didn't play the route I own yet much.

    Getting around with the Editor, I can say that the Niddertalbahn assetwise is on some points far superior than the standard german DLCs which usually share many same assets. So speaking just for the quality of unique assets to the route, I have to agree with OP on this point and I wish more unique assets (and thus higher quality) like on Niddertalbahn for future german content.

    A little bit more detail here and there could enhance some routes a lot and also make it attractive for costumers who would not be so interested in the routes per se.

    Well, I really like the looking and I love the route choice. Although of course, parts of Dresden could be opitimized here and there indeed.

    I think especially the natural scenery outside of Dresden is what I love about the route. The mix between the urban city of Dresden and just meadows of grassland and nature outside of it.

    Commuter routes like that I really would want to see more in TSW.

    Well, actually, if you look at this TSW World Cup...15 german routes against 20 britsh routes (and 12 US-Routes)...Germany best in quantity...definitely not. And if you look at the current standings best in quality, 4 british routes, 1 german route and one US-Route will proceed in the next round, definitely it doesn´t look like german routes are best in quality...

    Which for example? I mean it is just agrocultural regions. What would you mind to have there more?

    I think the scenery is built as good as it gets to its real life counterpart. Only thing I would ask for DRA (as I saide before) is more route there, but not an overhaul of the landscape.
