Game Event Dovetail Direct Summer 2024: Live August 20th

How is that helpful exactly?

 

I believe due to the length of the Direct they're setting it for an earlier time, that's all that comes to my mind.

 

The video will be exactly the same even if you watch it later. The only thing you will miss out on is the immediate uproar on the forum.

 

But that's all part of the experience!

 

This is an idea I'd love to see. I may be wrong but Toronto union to Niagara we could have CN, GO, VIA, Amtrak and CSX, right?

 

I always watch it later so that I can skip over the boring sections and/or replay parts I didn't understand.

I also have a gizmo on my tablet which automatically eliminates words like " cool " and " absolutely " from the soundtrack.

 

What about, “Class 66”, “Not on the roadmap”, “Will be added at a later stage”, etc.

 

The good thing about watching it later is you can enable the constant volume normalising feature, not available when watching live. It's very often one host being much louder than the other, can't watch that live with the cheap bedroom setups and £20 headsets they're streaming from.

 

I have to watch it later too because that day I'm on holliday in the Borneo's jungle without internet connection...
Hope to not find a 20 pages topic to read when I'm coming back (obviously I'm sarcastic)!

 

" not ready to share this just yet " ; " we'll tell you more when we get closer to release " .

Trouble is, if you eliminate all the PR and buzz words and phrases, you'd be left with just a few isolated fanboys ( for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so ).

 

Just Trains did Blackpool, right?

 

Yes.

 

I’m going to stick my neck out and say that 3 of the routes on the roadmap are the ones included in TSW 5 and at least one of the others is included in a “deluxe” edition.

 

I hope we get this cool "countdown while watching a track" thing again.
This always got me hyped for the direct even more, regardless what it will bring.

 

Welp. I'm psyched then.

 

My guess is that Brand new project might be some smartphone game for iOS and Android. Maybe something like tycoon or manager, I tried to find some railroad game for my Iphone and everything available is just so bad.

 

It's a pre-recorded studio video like last year, it's not a "live stream" like you're expecting.

 

Pleeeease, let one of the routes be French)

 

Will S6 AI services use the 422?

 

Love it.

What's your thought on the Thalys/Eurostar red services btw? I wouldn't mind ICEs subbing in for extra services (a bit like you do on ECML I think?) but I'm not sure if that would cause licensing issues.

 

When we get finally the Update?
Can you used the Intercity Steuerwagen for Services please with LZB

 

Wasn’t there a PC Editor update coming soon so why is it not posted?

 

Train Sim World Sim World

A management simulation where you try to make a successful rail Sim and keep your community happy by offering all content at half of what it costs to make and including a Mark 1 Buffet Car on all routes.

 

And you can offer an “Expert” RMB buffet car with fully interactive kitchen equipment where you have to serve customers without burning the toast or scalding them with the MaxPax tea!

 

Then after drinking all that tea, finally having access to the toilets within the carriages.

 

Expert level of course, with working flush… or maybe not so then you need the interactive seat and lid to hide the, ahem, mellow yellow and chocolate porridge…

 

Top man! Very surprised Network Rail haven’t tried to recruit you into Train Planning or as a VSTP controller…

 

Wholeheartedly approve of this.

 

Also "No, we've not included that"

 

How about only using the Expert 101 and Not the old Version then?

 

Because not many people own the expert 101.

 

Then others should missed the 101 layers

 

Nowadays there are already Sims about almost everything.

 

If you want to make them angry. They paid for their stuff.

 

Thank you for your answer Joe. I think the SKA update was announced as TSW4 content almost one year ago by announcing TSW4.

 

Can't forget Powerwash Sim and Gas Station Sim

 

That's the fun of it, because people can immediately express how they feel about the decisions DTG seemingly makes. Even though this might be my last Dovetail Direct because of my tiredness of this sim and willing to see another sim rise on the market to take over TSW.

 

we paid 36€ and got only 2 timetables for the Steuerwagen because DTG is too lazy

 

How can i tell you and make you understand, that this
1. -isnt a Dtg Product, so they dont have much Influence on it.
2. took about 18 months to develop (confirmed in the preview), so the timetable most likely did not have priority.
3. is an expert loco dlc which aims to get a real life experience and not aims on having the most variation in timetables.
4. game has scenarioplanner and freeroam.
5. dlc most likely gets more timetable services for upcoming routes.

All in all its on you if you want to go to TSG and tell them theyre product they made for one and a half year is lazy made, because you think it needs more services for an expert loco.
For me the price was to high first, but i saw in streams and preview how much it has to offer so now i think the pricing is valid for this one. The timetable is something i dont care about, if a loco already values its price by itself.

 

And that's why the rest of the players should lose their old tsw 101 content?

 

I have said I thought the price is high but not by that much I thought more like $35-36 than $40.

Once the little quirks are worked out and a few of the things they are working on for a future update already confimed by the creators i think it will be worth the money, when those are completed.

I'm in no hurry it's not like its gonna be out of stock like model trains. And if a sale comes by then it a bonus for me.

But I do think it is a quality product and the price is not way out there.

Just personaĺly I will wait to get full value for the product.

Also if DTG make routes why would they prioritize the TSG 101. They would want to promote their own DLC the original 101.

Just as I assume if TSG comes out with a route that has a 101 layer they would require you to have the TSG 101 for that layer.

 

TBH I don't think DTG made the best decision by bringing out the original 101 in 2021 at HRR. A route with 150 kph speed limit only. The best route so far for DB BR 101 is KWG. A lot 101 services there, where the 101 can use it's full 10000 hp and reach its topspeed with 200 kph.

 

Back OT to Dovetail Direct… I hope it is a full and complete reveal, not just snippets and teasers. Remember when they started showing little clips of the overhead and third rail track for TSW3, which eventually turned out to be the Training Centre. So whatever the content, full disclosure please along with details of the various bundles and prices.

 

I hope so too!
The track teaser countdown for Tsw3 and Tsw4 were realy nice and i hope it will be like that this time too.
Anyways its prerecorded so they cant change the amount of detail on every product they announce anymore.

 

There are (well, were) way more services on HRR though. An ideal route would be something like Koeln to Duisburg, where the train can run at 200km/h, but on a conventional line, with stations to whizz through. HRR fits well though because it's busy (although could be busier..)

 

They did that before so i have no clue what you mean... This whole training centre video was a warm up for the stream direct after. So first a video than the stream. It was fun to see whats going on there. I give you right it was way to long that was a little to extreme
