If DTG continues to overly concentrate their programming content on heavily favored European rail systems, they can kiss any present or future North American rail system TSW2 customers bye-bye
Seems more like a whinge than a suggestion, to me. US has just had Harlem with HSC just around the corner. UK has had nothing new since Brighton Main Line (not counting Rivet West Cornwall as it is awful and a third party) with nothing on the horizon until the Scouse Steam route. Last route for Germany was Tharandater which was also a while ago, nothing on the roadmap for there either.
DTG should do more of this when making a new route because any route no matter where it forms better off LESS" broken!
*waves btom for a bye-bye* There is no need for people whining about how they are not getting what they want. Indeed we need more people that give constructive suggestions with reference material instead. And a suggestion for an US route on my side would be Marias Pass since DTG got the BNSF license.
Seen a few days ago a suggestion about DTG needing to more British content, what's your take on that? There is never enough American, British or German content for the fans of each nation.
I was hoping to read a locomotive or a route suggestion for DTG, After all they have magical powers to mind read our minds. Joking aside. Mate drop a few routes and locomotives to them and they might just be willing to take it onboard okay. Here's one - Marias Pass!
They should start doing International routes First is Duisburg-Oberhausen-Arnhem Utrecht Railway 2nd is Perpignan-Barcelona 3rd is Liege Aachen L37. For starters they would change nearby train simulator world existing route. Hollandstrecke Duisburg-Oberhausen-Arnhem Utrecht changes Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr at Mülheim an Der Styrum because S3 follows a Zevenaar Bochum Ehrenfeld Gbf freight. Perpignan-Barcelona changes LGV Méditerranée Avignon-Marsellie since every 08:06 trips are the Madrid Atocha S100 trains. Own Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen with New Journey pack Aachen Hbf is busy with SNCB NMBS HLD77 7771-7871 running to Köln Ehrenfeld or terminate at Rothe Erde sidings provided L37 is owned. Unless L37 linked to Köln Wuppertal where HLD77 7771-7871 arrives then 363 204 G6 separates the inbound Belgian freight train at Rangierbahnhof Köln Kalk for existing locomotives
I'd like to see some different countries outside of the big 3 before another big 3 release. Variety is good. (and yes I know there are lot who refuse to play anything outside of their preferred country)
Do not forget NS Horseshoe Curve is coming! I believe the next one might be a BNSF one! Like Cajon Pass (*) or the Racetrack (Chicago to Aurora) (*) Cajon Pass it is shared by BNSF and UP, but each one it has its own tracks. But most of the length, they are very close to each other. So it would be great to have also UP trains running there! At least as AI ones.
Should this work an international route from one of the big three countries. The following are Germany to the Netherlands Duisburg-Oberhausen-Arnhem-Utrecht Line. Spoiler: L37 Aachen Liège Will change Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen with selected SNCB NMBS HLD77 7771-7871 trips terminating at Aachen Rothe Erde for existing locomotives to finish the service to Köln Ehrenfeld others are run through. Every 08:15 21:30 trips are SNCB HLE18 Siemens end trips at Aachen for locomotive change Spoiler: Germany to Austria International route you are simply running PZB LZB ETCS Sifa 15kv AC as a normal operation. Since 1963. This will cause ÖBB locomotives to be paired up with 766.2 767.2 780 785 on certain routes. Electric Shunters 1063 1163 1064 will spawn on Yards with Overhead wires UK to Ireland Dundalk Belfast US to Mexico Freight
a respect eeeh, a respect ..... . No country is garbage ... because if we start criticizing garbage then your poor diesel British trains that don't even start would be the biggest garbage on the planet. So respect people's opinion and allow the variety of countries in this game. Don't focus so much on British crap
i would very much disagree with that excpet for the one off countries uk and germany outnumber USA dlc by a mile
Unless it’s a American passenger service route, I’m not quite interested in playing slow moving freight across quiet landscapes.
2022 so far has seen 1 US routes (with a 2nd to come imminently), 1 German route, 1 Swiss route and ZERO UK routes. We have to go back 5 months for the last UK route and by the end of April the US will have had 3. But sure it's US rail fans who have been forgotten about and aren't loved by DTG
I personally like freight routes a lot but I agree, the ones we have are way too slow. We need some fast freight runs!
Uh, the majority of routes in TSW are centered in Europe. There's really only a few North American routes in TSW.
Right, seeing there's a confusing with how many routes that are made, per country so far, might as well just sum up the tally in one post then. From DTG: US: 5 [2 from Preserved Collection] UK: 5 (including SoS, like it or not) [5 from Preserved Collection] Ger: 5 [5 from Preserved Collection] FR: 1 CAN: [only 1 from Preserved Collection] and from 3rd-parties: US: 2 UK: 2 Swiss: 2 And this is all the routes made for the past 5 years, mind you. So there's plenty of European routes already, just to satisfy you enough without wanting for more until the next batch of new routes to be made. And while I do hope for more US routes being made in the future (as a freight man myself, don't care for commuters). But somehow, oddly enough, feels like the US still gets the short end of the stick no matter what, in terms of variety. Be it from the community or dovetail themself.
Glad to see everyone is being respectful to each others opinions....*saracasm* Only thing we really need out of North America is more vintage routes, like either transition era or early generation diesels. Maybe after DTG is done with SOS for the UK, they can tackle a transition era route in the US.
I personally think it's a mix of the community pulling DTG is so many different directions and DTG trying to appease them. As a result we normally get lackluster US DLC.
How about ÖBB that one changes German routes. Have ÖBB route with Nahverkehr Dresden Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen Hauptstrecke München-Augsburg. One of the freight services might be made up of Rail cargo Austria ÖBB freight services. Spoiler: Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen Main Spessart Bahn and Hauptstrecke München-Augsburg night trips Nightjet sleeper train services are playable on those routes. Main Spessart Bahn Aschaffenburg-Lohr section. Whole Length Hauptstrecke München-Augsburg Schnellfahrstrecke. The exception is EN468 469 Wien Hbf to Paris Est playable from Augsburg Hbf to München Pasing.
Please remember Matt has clarified on a streaming that "World", on the game name, is not about making routes or trains from around the "World". It is about the "World of trains". Thus is all things involved with them. For me the main issue of routes, are ont which country a route is located. It is about the fun / challenging / entertaining / length it is. I mean a mix of them. I likes European and US routes and trains, but not all routes of those countries accomplishing what I mentioned above. Of course most probably a route will be more focusing on some of the points, but if they got all of them it will be a very nice route! But also the trains which runs on them, are important too. The more variety the more interesting it will be. Not forgetting that quantity must not be over quality. Then again a mix is important. As to the country which is locate be located, it is not the main issue. This is not the FIFA football / soccer world championship.! So which country it has more routes. Let's see which ones will be coming on next years
Yes they are Irl, but as of right now they are mainly focusing on the "Big 3 Countries" which are USA,UK,and Germany which is unfortanute
yes indeed and the West Cornwall rolling stock release was an absolute disaster and a HUGE let down with faults still not corrected. I’m surprised Rivet weren’t sacked for the shocking mistakes they made on the 150. Incorrect internal brake rub sounds, incorrect physics set up, accelerates far too fast from the off. No 2 second delay, no rev up, throttle being locked in brake notch 1, accelerating in 1st throttle notch at 75mph, incorrect DSD behaviour, gear change speed going back from 2nd down to 1st gear is also incorrect, track joint sounds awful. I will never again buy from Rivet ! Let’s hope the steam loco and steam route is a vast improvement.
Conversely Luzern is one of the best routes released this side of rush hour across all developers, although the bar is hardly high at the moment.
I haven’t bought it. My biggest gripe is why they haven’t fixed anything in the 150….at least DTG have fixed a few things along the way.
pffft, i've never even clicked on whatever US route comes with the core game when you buy it, and never will, I have played on the london underground route a little and bought the 1938 stock add on, but only because i have a control handle from a '38 stock train i want to turn into a controller one day, But it's German routes and trains or nothing for me... but i aint gonna throw my toys out the pram if they make US and UK routes and trains next,
What are you on about its US central at the minute. The UK have had nothing since West Cornwall and that was Rivet so nothing 1st party since rush hour
Enough of this thread, thank you. Arguments revolving around "my country's routes are better than your country's" is not what this forum is for. It's childish. Please stop it.
