I've just purchased it too. If people spend in the sales, that might lead to more sales, so happy to do my bit if that's a thing! Thanks for the tips guys
Why don't dtg publicise these on the forum? It's not the first time and you'd have thought they'd be rather keen to do so. When does it end?
…It was announced on Discord Strat-tastic… When you say ‘when does it end’ I wasn’t sure if that referred to the end date of the sale or the lack of engagement on the forum !!
And here in lies the problem yet again. It was announced on discord. Well not everyone wants to use discord. I had a look a while back when the discord was set up and honestly it was enough to put me off using it. Full of petty squabble and people talking about anything bar the sims.
I bought it at launch because it's my local route. If AABS do finally put out a patch, and DTG finally improve the core, this can be a very good route. It's not Just Trains or Riviera excellent, but there is a lot to like, if they can solve the blurring and crashing
It's the last DLC I purchased until there is a fix or at least some kind of improvment that we can see the light at the end if the tunnel. I managed to get blurry textures right down to almost none. But I only have 4 layers active so its dead traffic wise. But scenery wise its great and a fun drive.
I have the 390, 220, TfW, 170 and 323WMR layers on with the 350 off (and all the others, railtours etc off), and that tends to be OK. As you've said, the trouble is with the 350s switched off, Crewe-Wolves is too quiet, and the stoppers from Wolves-Bham (my main incentive to buy it) are limited to just a few early/late 323s. Having to turn off the train layer that is the only one that comes directly with the route is mad... but that's the reality of it
Thanks for your help I meant end of sale, but the other meaning has merit too! Hmm wondering about B2C as I have a fiver Xbox voucher. Worth £19....?
Heheh nope not worth, still has blurry textures on quite a bit of the route ( bought myself and encountered all the problems)
Just logged on and there is a lot on sale right now including but not limited to: F59PHR B2C Thomas WSR & 80th Frankenbahn MP15DC S-Bahn MAC Peak Forest (70%) RT (70%) Cardiff MAG SFJ DCZ Glossop (70%) This is just the stuff that I don't already have; most likely there is even more. These past months have had the best Xbox sales in years. I would say that for anyone who has been waiting to buy, the time is now.
This one is actually massive for a Xbox sale would a few things I’ve never seen on sale before also if you ever wanted to get into br blue NTP is £2
Unreal sale. All five German routes that I don’t already own are on sale, including 4 older ones I’ve not seen on sale in years if at all.
Or as I term it, Rancid Transit! Only ever think about buying in a deep sale. The one redeeming feature is that being one of the oldest routes it shouldn’t suffer too many performance issues. However if you think the 801/2/5 are quiet you haven’t seen (or heard, or rather don’t hear) anything with the 1442. It’s like a hovercraft over the rails.
I bought 90% off and it makes ecml seem loud. It's so quite isn't it. Bought the 182 as well that seems better . Performance is good no blurry or stuttering.
90% off is about right! Scandalous it has never been remastered in particular the sounds. The 1442 is made worse by no opening cab windows nor can it run with the cab doors open to let a bit of extra sound in.
if they couldn't afford a remaster fair enough but they have just sorted out the sounds and lighting. Also vern peak forest on sale 80% off is it worth it do you think.
Definitely get Peak Forest. It’s a beautiful route despite not going to Derby and the wonky steam physics.
Is there any add ons for peak forest im sure read in the forum there was supposed to something for it.
The only add on proposed was the Class 104 DMU which has foundered. It is an entirely standalone route as you get the two steam locos from SoS included alongside the 4F.
Tbf to DTG the sales on Xbox have been great recently. It's been nice to see some third party stuff go on sale as well.
Horrible decisition. Not back compatible dlcs if i want to play for achievements and if i can only play on at TSW6 the dlcs not achievements. Slowly i buy all dlcs for playing in all versions of the game but not offers to old dlc versions or compatible versions. Nice Job Dovetail. [/mode ironic off]
Yeah - the lack of Achievement support on offer as only the TSW6 versions of old DLC are discounted is very disappointing. Still, thank you DTG (and Microsoft) for giving us a decent sale on XBOX.
I picked up the glossip line salzburg-rosenheim and the f59 in the current sale Im just happy that Xbox players finally get a decent sale. Thank you DTG/Microsoft
That’s weird because they usually do post them in the official announcements here on the forum. Curious why it wasn’t posted this time since they announced the Winter Sale one for XBox just a few week back.
really good sale. bagged a couple of routes that i've fancied but not wanted enough to spend full amount on. the only question mark i have is the harlem line...what's it like? never used to bother with US routes but found the LIRR one of the most enjoyable in the game
Harlem line same kinda train not has busy not on tod4 old scoring. But still enjoyable if like that kind of route.
Picked up Tharandter Rampe and aside from the dated lighting, it’s an excellent route. Really challenging gradients (in a good way).
The Sales lately have been fantastic. Last month I bought Lirr2 and Boston-Worcester, now Peak Forest, all for the same Price as one new Route. I hope Bernina gets a good Discount sometime in the near Future.
Just picked up Peak Forest, largely for the layers on Riviera and WSR. It's a very good route imo at the discount, probably what SOS should've been
Also it may not matter now, but when NYC-Stamford comes out, it should be pretty key for AI traffic on the main area of the Grand Central route into Westchester (at least I thought that’s what was said). So if you plan on getting that route and that is actually the case, it’s a bit of an added bonus for cheaper.
