Hello everyone, Hope you are well. I just really wanted everyone's opinion on this. What's your predictions on what you think dtg are working on beyond what's on the roadmap in terms of us content, UK and Germany. Additionally do you reckon there's more 3rd parties to be announced for future roadmaps beyond the ones we already know. I like speculating because it's exciting the future of routes. Additionally what's your thoughts on when the new ats route will be revealed and all the other stuff in 0 to 3 months part of recent roadmap. Do you reckon ats are already working on a route beyond the one they have already announced. Just curious to hear everyone's thoughts. I have also for ease of use and reference attached latest roadmap information graphic.
On thing I'm starting to wonder is if we'll see some form of Caledonian Sleeper in the game at some point soon(ish) - with the upcoming addition of the cryptic 'Sleeper static' onto the WCMLS, plus the newly released 87, the writing seems to be on the wall that we could get a partial sleeper service on the timetable, whether branded or unbranded. Worth noting that due to the relatively simple nature of the CS livery, unbranded would be still very easily recognisable, even if it is just an 87 and modified mk3s in midnight teal with no logos. So once whatever coaches are in at Wembley sidings come the December revamp, it would be much easier to then simply swap them out for more accurate stock later down the line.
is this Playstation-specific? :P I do hope and don't doubt too much that new 3rd parties and their works get announced throughout the "Season of Reveals", especially since many community-made projects which were posted in the PC editor subforum have gone silent. Additionally, I hope there's more german content in store than what has been on the roadmap (Ludwigsbahn...), for example another new ICE, or perhaps an EMU unlike any other we have right now (for example the good old Desiro HC) Berlin would also be nice to see but as it seems it still won't happen anytime soon...
I am trying to branch out and try stuff I usually wouldn't including stuff that I don't particularly like now but might later. One thing I have loved particularly is the 101. Put it off for so long because of them gears but nailing it now. Same with German routes and locos. Really want to branch out and try that. Cargo has been another success for me. Really enjoying the class 66 and the runs with aggregates etc on sehs etc. Offers a different opportunity. And no, not playstation specific lol. Don't know why I put that on..will amend if I can.
Well, nothing for England planned from DTG. I suspect the Cardiff Network will be a March/April release. ATS will likely be around that time too. JT will do something that goes on at least one of their current routes, Classes 86 and 370 are probably favourites. Incredible Trains are doing the North London Line. So that's your lot for UK content until next summer at least. Hopefully we can have a rest from London Midland region releases in 2025. It's time this flipping great gap in East Anglia is filled, even if it's the LTS.
Just thought also athenaeum sim said in a post when they first came on to announce themselves they had some stuff in works beyond..including a modern route and loco so that will be cool
If the North London Line turns out to be true I'd be extremely happy. Particularly as it'd feature a 378 that has layering ability for WCMLS to work alongside the existing 710. The NLL is short in the grand scheme of things, but should have a thorough timetable. The London Overground routes really appeal to me as they are end to end routes. I'm also wondering if Willesden will have ECS runs for that and WCMLS. All hypothetical at the moment. Wouldn't like to guess a release date for the possible NLL though. ATS Manchester Airport Commuter looks incredibly promising too. So excited for that as it'll give the 323 another route to really stretch it legs on. The 323 is a really nicely built unit in the game so deserves some love and use on other routes. Anthena Simulations route is a real conundrum as they've managed to keep their cards close to their chest on that one. I get the feeling though it's going to at least be a quality built, and well made route. No indication as to where it'll be though. The only clue is it's in the modern day and that's it. But Decembers reveal event is looking to be promising.
