I recently bought the BR 187 expecting a finished product.... Ha! I wish.... But nearly three weeks in we haven´t yet got a patch to fix the endless issues with the loco. It´s unbearable. When driving from no1. cab the loco thinks you´re in PZB reverse mode, the new flashy MFD displays don´t even represent the LZB meter, AFB is broken and applies max power when you use it. AND YOU WANT ME TO PAY 11.99? No way. Please sort it if you want TSW to carry on existing 2 years into the future.
I have the same problem, why is DTG repairing such a bug so slow? BR187 is the work of a third party, so the third party has a lot of time to fix it. What problems did they encounter?
It is playable, with a sound mod and without using AFB. You can use LZB, but you’ll have to use the HUD to guide you through the deceleration sections.
Your new content wont sell well if you keep releasing broken products, though. Being a smaller team really isn't an excuse, just fix your product or don't release it in a broken state to begin with.
I did not yet hear about the cab 1 problems. I did not have to use it till now. You can drive it and at the outside it looks OK for me. I use some mods, but it could be better. I like it but I cannot recommend it to anyone. I think it is important to have third party developers, so I want to support them where possible. Give them time to learn and do not burn them down for stupid mistakes.
Skyhook are already making Horseshoe Curve if you look at the roadmap. There is no excuse for releasing a poor product but if they're being pushed to release content then their hands are tied. Look how long DTG take to fix some issues we regard as important. Unfortunately it's clearly not as simple as Bish bash bosh fix it and release it
To be fair, I’ve never said any thing about being worth full price. Oh wait, I did in this particular post. But you couldn’t have known that. https://forums.dovetailgames.com/posts/394786/ I still consider it playable* though. *not with full functionality and up to standards, but in it’s core playable.
Yes Skyhook dropped the ball, but if you are too lazy to check the reviews before purchasing the onus is on you. All releases get preview streams and there is generally a load of postings, on these forums, discord and Steam forums, regarding any failings and shortcomings. Software and impulse buying are inimicable. That said I’ll be buying when it comes on sale, and adding the sound mod.
