So what have you all got in the sales for the festival of rail, picked up some german content myself as really enjoying that just now. Tempted by the expert DB 101 but i think that is WAYYYY to advanced for me just now
Nothing at the moment. Mildmay and MIA not in my collection but not at just 20% off for city electric bus routes similar to those already owned. Saving my Steam Wallet for the big hitters like Medway Valley, JT Preston to Crewe and Trent Valley.
Mildmay is ok i bought it last sale as saw it was getting its extension. Hopefully hear more about that on the road map next week.
That could be its redeeming feature. Also hanging on to my credit as the route extension for SimRail should drop in the next few weeks (hopefully).
I picked up the Stuttgart route though I'm not sure I'll keep it I hope the timetable is better than the scenarios. I'll probably be spending a fair amount on TSC though. I've recently been getting into Steam Trains and preserved railways and Matrix Trains coaches seem very reasonably priced especially in the sale. I have most of the GWR stock so will take a look at what else is available.
The Matrix coaches are lovely. Got a fair few myself. Prices very pocket friendly too, even without a sale discount.
Surprised WCML Birmingham - Crewe is not 20% off on Steam given it is on the Xbox store. I would have bought that route along with the 805 Evero (not on sale) had it been so they've missed out on both the initial and the additional purchase there (if this feedback even gets noted). So all I have bought this time is Stuttgart - Heilbronn, mainly for the DB BR 140. I am pleased to finally be able to use the substitution mod on trainsimcommunity to replace it with the DB BR 110 on freight for Linke Rheinstrecke. (I had been making do with using the DB BR 155 sub mod!)
Given that I haven't touched TSW for around a year now, I haven't gotten anything yet. I'm thinking about Salzburg - Rosenheim, since it's 90% off at the moment, but I need to check some gameplay videos from it first to see what's there. I'll be probably installing TSW soon again to check the updated GWE, so I'll also think about any of the layers I'm missing, but that only if they are at least 50% off.
it’s a fabulous route for that price, the 111 is fun to drive, there’s good variety of gameplay and the scenery is nice
Just bought the TSW6 Standard Edition - not particularly fussed about the NY route but it did allow me to get Riviera at £17.99, so that was enough for me to push the button. I didn't buy Riviera initially because I wasn't that interested in the 802, but for some amazing reason the 805 has got me interested in these IETs at last, and I've been itching to try the GWR version since. I don't know why the Azuma didn't grab my attention in the same way as the 805 - maybe that stretch of ECML? But anyhow, I'm finally a fan. Well, apart from when I find that my seat all the way to Paddington IRL is little more than a supporting bar with a flat bit of knackered "cushion"... not such a fan then
Allegedly Mark Hopwood (GW MD) has conceded the current IET seats are unfit for purpose and there are plans to refurbish. Mind the creamy canvas type seats fitted to the initial build were even worse.
I just bought Salzburg-Rosenheim for €3.05 thanks to bundles for the TSW5 version on Steam. Couldn't resist such a discount
101 Expert is 30% off.... TSG stuff never seems to get any more than 15%-20% discount. It´s not getting any better than this. Also Frankfurt S-Bahn at 60% looks good.
Niddertalbahn is 35% off. TSW3 version once was 40% off. Takes a lot more patience, but even TSG stuff eventually gets discounted.
Nothing, I'm waiting for a good price on Mildmay (and wait for the extension) because I don't think 20% is enough.
Good stuff I’m also waiting to pick up a steam bundle for TSW6. I have my eye on the deluxe edition, which I plan to buy sometime this weekend. I own roughly 95% of all content on PlayStation, but I want to have a UK only collection on steam.
Got the cargo v4 military pack, 50% off - not really something of interest to me but completes all layers required on GWE:R that I own Might get the S-bahn Frankfurt route next week as is 60% off, I don't mind travelling as a passenger on the German routes, rarely tend to drive, if I do, it's the ICE's
Agree about Birmingham Crewe. I would have gotten it at 20% off but no sale this time around. Other than that, nothing of interest.
Well, I got the F59PH, since it was half off and everyone says how good it is. Disappointed there was no discount at all on Birmingham-Crewe.
