I don't know what's more annoying: A new TSW every year, or people jumping forward to TSW7 when TSW6 has only just been announced. It won't even be released for a couple of months at least yet.
well gota add my speculations too i guess UK to Aus Hyperloop, powered by a modified fusion powered class 66 World peace and finally we all get honest politicians (more of a wish me thinks)
"the Russian treatment"? Russian routes have never been in TSC or TSW. Possibly because the countryside is depressingly flat and featureless and most cities are hundreds of miles apart so making for a very dull drive. Plus, how would a TSW content maker get source material if the UK Government's advice is to not travel there?
Find workarounds, even at the cost of quality. Not to mention DTG has alot of references they can work with from previous trips.
And it's about this point you have just slapped yourself in the face, the answer you have just given proved your post before this one was complete rubbish. TSW is the bloody highway and every platform that supports the game are the cars, we all fit happily.........
Probably just as annoying is people saying there won't be a TSW(insert next number from current release) as they haven't fixed everything in the current one!!
That could work too! I think that should be the name eventually, after we’ve used up all the numbered editions. TSW10 could be the last one then it’s time for classic
I do think a fair number of you are missing the joke here, that DTG have become so predictable in releasing a new TSW every year now that we should skip the excitement at the prospect of TSW6 and speculate what we will be offered in TSW7 - or at least that's how I'm seeing it. My predictions will be another one handed London centric bus route with an EMU that is as bland and faceless as the rest of the current batch, probably something in Germany that starts in the middle of nowhere and ends in the middle of nowhere with some overly complicated modern locomotive and for the third route I'll think of something outside the box, a Spanish or Portuguese metro route that's driven one handed in a generic looking EMU... Oh and lots of promises which are never delivered but instead pushed back to TSW8 and finally releasing in TSW12...
We might finally get the Fife Circle 158 timetable that DTG have been allegedly sitting on for the last 4+ months...
No need to boycott U.S content. We’re lucky to get one route a year at this point. Don’t worry chap, they’ll continue to make short boring U.K route for you guys who can’t sit still for more than 10 minutes.
You may joke but I have wanted the Disneyworld Monorail in TSW for years, when I visited as a nipper back in 1993 it was my second favourite ride (after the Delta Dreamflight). Sadly, Disney will never give out a license for that
*TSW6 Released* people are asking for more underground lines like the jubilee line (most requested) and some are asking for the Subsurface lines and the Piccadilly lines
My posts always age badly. The US NE Corridor route announced is one of the few long US routes I'd like and I'll probably buy and we finally have a long UK route coming, albeit on the WCML again. As for sitting still for more than 10 minutes, I'm very good at that, but I don't like slow routes and freight isn't my thing, hence me not being very interested in the US rail scene.
I did wonder if Matt’s reference to liking Kicking Horse and Roger’s Pass buried in the recent Discord Q&A could herald a new Canadian route is on the cards? It would certainly be a crowd pleaser compared to the drab NE commuter runs. Though to do it justice should be set back when VIA still ran the Canadian thataway, rather than just CP freight. Alternative would be a more modern route with, subject to licensing, the Rocky Mountaineer as additional DLC.
While I am VERY excited for New York - Stamford, it’s not very long if you do an end to end service. I’d love a “long” section of the corridor, likeNew York - New Haven (featured in TSC). The U.K folks now have 3/4th of the WCML. Something like that would be AMAZING for the US.
How about Thomas on some other bit of the WCML not yet released. (Unless, of course, sales of the WSR version have 'tanked' ).
