    I've compiled a spreadsheet for each release addon for tsw, this includes, route acronyms, which platform ( GEN 9 & PC only, for now ) file sizes, available layers, playable layers and *AI/Static layers.
    All layers are correct as of today 19.10.23.

    This spreadsheet will be updated per new addon release.

    Hope this helps anybody struggling to understand which addons layers where.

    *AI/Static layers isnt fully completed due to lack of knowledge, if anyone has any help/input, please send me a DM on here.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...mnYzyISBja6wiEQ4tBs8h2DyFJM/edit?usp=drivesdk

    Access should be view only.

    are those acronyms based on the ingame formation acronym names or just whatever the community chose? Munich-Augsburg is MAG and Cologne-Aachen is KAH, atleast to me, idk what other people think about it.

    but A+ for the effort, thank you

    Wow, Thanks for the effort!
    That comes in very handy.

    OK, but then the rest is all wrong, no?

    For example:
    Hauptstrecke München – Augsburg: HMA = München-Augsburg Mainline = MAML
    Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr: HRR = Rhein-Ruhr Mainline = RRML
    Linke Rheinstrecke: Mainz-Koblenz: LFR ....... hmmmm
    Nahverkehr Dresden: DRA = Dresden Commuter = DCR
    Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen: SKA = Cologne-Aachen High Speed = CAHS
    Schnellfahrstrecke Kassel - Würzburg: SKW = Kassel-Wurzburg High Speed = KWHS

    But wait a sec, the [EDIT - Jan - Language] used a random character for the acronym. So, it could go ...

    MÜML
    RAML
    DDO
    CCHS
    KLHS

    Brilliyunt!

    no... that would be Munich-Augsburg, Kologne-Aachen, Kassel-Würzburg etc.
    do you see a pattern?
    1st letter 1st place name, 2nd and 3rd letter from the second name of the second place of the route. idk why LFR stays Left Rine Line and not Mainz-Koblenz (hoho "MKZ" hoho) but uh. yeah. oh and Dresden-Riesa. wait let me check for Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr which would be Rhine-Ruhr Mainline or something... upload_2023-10-19_18-9-47.png North Rhine Mainline apparently.

    I don’t think any of them are acronyms, as an acronym has to be said like a word and not as the letters. NASA is an acronym because you say it as a word and do not say the individual letters but BBC is not an acronym because you just say the letters. As such, the routes have abbreviations but not acronyms. I know, shoot the pedant, but it is true.
    Anyway, I don’t think that detracts from the initial topic of this thread which was the useful spreadsheet.

    Well, MÜML and RAML sound quite funny when spoken in German as an acronym. The rest could very much stand in for polish or czech acronyms.
    But now for something completely different. Yeeesss, anagrams!

    Question - is there anymore information you'd like to see on the spreadsheet?
    Things like: Release dates? which game a dlc released with? Gen 8 layer versions ?

    Or happy as is?

    I think the file is very helpful as is. But yes, reduced layers overview for the Gen8 consoles would still help a lot of people.

    Expert 101 - forgot :|

    Wcml- s
    Pendelino
    San Bernardino
    Kingzigtalbahn Frankfurt - fulda.
    Flixtrain

    All now added to the sheet.

    Also I've now added *release dates to the spreadsheet.

    The dates are original dates of release, core releases dates are based on no EA ( Early Access).

    * Release dates won't be added untill officially announced.

    Just the way I've put it for now to fill the gaps. Once DLC are out properly I will go back and change.

    well you can see what I posted up there in this video at 12:24:


    but I bet just like with MAG and KAH, the community will probably agree on something more simple like FFF... FrankFurt Fulda ;)

    Update - WCML - S and Kingzigtalbahn now have updated acronyms.
     
  39. Spikee1975

    Spikee1975 Guest

    The correct acronym for Preston-Blackpool/Ormskirk is PBO, not BPO (principal station first).
    ECML Peterborough - Doncaster is PBD, not PDB.

    I'd spoken with Tom about it and that's what he gave me.

    PBD is more likely a typo - I'll switch that now.
     
  41. Spikee1975

    Spikee1975 Guest

    PBO it's in the files. No big deal anyway, as SKA and KAH are also both valid for Cologne-Aachen. ;)

    i think BPO works better anyway to save confusing PBO for PBD :)

    I don't know where to ask this but quick question.
    Do i need peak forest railway to get the steam layers for WSR or will just owning SOS still give me those layers?
     
  45. Spikee1975

    Spikee1975 Guest

    Here's the details from TSWTracker.

    SoS does not layer onto WSR, you will need Peak Forest for the main steam layer (93 services).

    Finally getting around to adding some missing file sizes.. oops my bad.

    To help it more readable, would people prefer if I made separate sheets for each region? by game dev?

    Let me know

    Are you planning to move each route to a separate table sheet and add DLC and layers there? If so, yes, it will improve readability.
