Some decent prices, but buying the TSW6 version of a route/train doesn't seem to unlock entitlement for previous games as was the case up until TSW5.
Yes, good low prices indeed, bought 2 routes for 11 euro. TSW6 routes can't be played on old versions, that's sadly correct.
They're all TSW 6 "compatible" so there's no reason why they shouldn't back port into the version/s they were originally released on. It might just be the case that he has to 'manage game & addons' and manually select whichever routes were purchased....
No, when you buy a TSW6 version of a route, you can't play those on TSW5 or earlier. This was anounched by DTG and has something to do with the platform holders.
There’s a couple of these I want to play in TSW5 so I can chase the achievements; the lack of backwards compatibility means I won’t be buying, unfortunately. I’m not sure the lack of backwards compatibility is driven by platform holders, incidentally - my recollection is it’s DTG’s decision, same as the decision not to add achievements to TSW6 DLC. Shame - it’s costing them my business.
Wow. It appears you cant have an opinion without someone getting their knickers in a twist. Whether thats mods or other users. What has this forum become
DTG Matt - can we try and be a little more consumer friendly please? Entitlements were the best thing you'd done for TSW3-5. If you're not going to fulfil those entitlements with TSW6 compatible DLC, then please make a concerted effort to put TSW5 DLC on discount, especially legacy add-ons. There's DLC's that I would love to get but I refuse to buy them full price to get access to all previous and future iterations when they're actively on sale for TSW6 and don't provide any entitlements. It baffles me that the last sale actually discounted TSW5 add-ons, but some of these huge discounts are all for TSW6. I admired you guys when you made an effort to become more consumer friendly given the price of DLC's and annual releases. Sad to see that's gone out the window now. Please, just think about your consumers when it comes to sales.
No it has always been the case. Content sold for TSW 6 is not backwards compatible if you purchase content for TSW 5 etc and own TSW 6 then it is compatible it’s been that way for a long time
I think you’ve misunderstood the question which is about buying older content with TSW6 branding. In the past content made for previous versions which is branded with the newer number has always been backwards compatible. Of course DLC specifically made for TSW6 will not work on previous versions and this was always the case, but that was not what was being referred to.
With the way the game is at present I dont think even a good sale on xbox would make me want to buy anymore dlc.
One thing I have noticed is that the original product descriptions are still in place even though they're TSW6 exclusive. For example, Birmingham Cross City tells you that if you buy it on sale then "bustling duties await in TSW3", which isn't going to happen.
I was pleased to see a TSW6 news item informing me of an "XBOX WINTER SALE: NOW ON!" Unfortunately the only discount mentioned is 30% off TSW6 Deluxe Edition. There also seems to be 20% off TSW6: Thomas & Friends Edition, but that's all I can find. Come on, DTG - how about throwing existing players a bone here? The XBOX Countdown sale is one of the biggest of the year, with apparently over 2,700 discounts and a ton of DLC included. Given all the challenges XBOX users are experiencing with the game on an ongoing basis it surely wouldn't have hurt to give us some discounts on DLC?

grrr literally bought the 380 with a xmas gift card a week ago LIRR Commuter....any good? one of the few i don't have on that list
Train Sim World® 5: West Coast Main Line: Preston - Carlisle https://www.xbox.com/en-gb/games/store/train-sim-world-5-west-coast-main-line-preston-carlisle/9nstqrv62mhs Has a sale also. 40% off
I own and have played the original LIRR quite a lot so I can only assume that the enhanced & extended version (which I didn't buy due to it's poor VFM if you already owned the original) is equally as good. I'd have probably bought it myself at £9 but it's locked into TSW6 and I'm not prepared to upgrade TSW4 in order to receive a downgraded experience.
Not a bad sale at all to be honest. I own all that I want from that list already, but not much for us Xboxers to complain about really.
I very good sale at last and I own them all already haha! To answer a previous question on LIRR, I bought that at full price just a few months ago and no regrets. Miles better than the original and one of the best routes in the game for me. It has mandatory safety systems tho so if they’re not your thing, you may not enjoy it as much
Found two that I needed, Cathcart and the loco add on. Now just missing five routes and one loco add on to complete the UK set. And I paid full price for most of them!!
Some good discounts there, although I already own everything that’s on offer apart from a couple of locos. Disappointed to see that all but one of them are the TSW6 versions. They aren’t playable on previous iterations of TSW and thus you can’t go back and unlock the Achievements.
