    I just want to bring this up...

    So much for American English = 'International' English.

    Dovetail can't even get consistency with their language, let alone their games!

    So what exactly is the issue here, as far as I am aware Dovetail are a English company, based in England.

    Because they made a big fuss over using American English (Training Center) as the new standard for the franchise.

    That was there a long before TSW3 came into existence and decided to use the other English.

    Again, call it Training Centrer and read only the R you want to.

    I think Pig Latin should become the new standard language for TSW, just to annoy people on both sides of the pond.

    I'd love it if DTG decided to add in joke languages, like in Minecraft.

    Can't believe that anyone forced them to use that spelling.
    It's not as if our American cousins couldn't work it out for themselves.
    (They must think Americans are very stupid, but then I don't know if they follow US politics or not))

    Yes, DTG's excuse is a bit hollow, but;

    The UN uses British English.
    The UK uses British English
    Scots use Scots/Scottish English
    Aussies use Australian English
    Americans use American English
    Canadians use Canadian English
    And so on...

    Pick one, stick with it. If you genuinely find the spelling of "centre" as "center" to be a problem to use then that's the definition of First World Problems.

    I use Centre, others use Center. No point complaining about it.

    And even then it is debatable whether International English is based on British English (Traditional) or American English (Simplified)

    The UN - the only thing that is an "international body" uses British English in its work so I'd imagine that says all that has to be said

    Which is something we can agree with, so we can already deduce that International English = British English, but some people will still debate it.

    This is top notch humour right here. Don't worry though, a fix has been provided by the Preservation Crew for the spelling and is in testing right now.

    Heck, it's not even a training center or training centre. It's just a track to just go round and round in circles that barley teaches you anything to be honest.

    Perhaps they should just call it loop track or something along those lines and ditch the current name which would end this debate

    Pretty sure Trainz is used for the franchise's name rather than being used daily as a plural noun.

    I think there were a few comments back when the title was first introduced. Basically it was an attempt by Auran (as N3V were then), to be chill "dudes", man, and give it a snazzy title! But no one on the N3V forum uses the parlance when talking about actual "trains" whether real or simulated, it's just a trademark.

    you need to buy tsw4 to unlock the spelling correction on tsw3. Be mindful there could be a performance hit and tree pop in as a compromise but in the main it should run the same as before

    Yeah but then there will be a mistake in track placement in TSW4 that only TSW5 can fix.

    I actually dreamt about that last night! Well at least I was wandering around this weird tube station and it was old 1938 stock too which then sliced through a load of people who were stood on the track!

    Guess I should go back to Ovaltine or milk in the evening instead of decaff tea!

    Better still rename it the Roundy Round Route, Sam's Running in the Rain Route or Adam's Folly.

    And the paid DLC will have the extension to Watford Junction and the Stanmore branch together with a bundled 1938 stock just to annoy the people who have already bought it. That’ll be £25 pound please (or free if you buy two other routes you don’t want and a core update).

  48. Or just call it the test facility. Unless there's several different spellings for facility?

    I would float the suggestion of calling it;
    "Loop for train to go brrrrrrr"
    No American Vs British English debates, and it's a good one for the kids!

    There will also be a subscription model in regards to additional content.

    Engineers addition is £6 a month to get extra livery stickers specifically made for the trains coming to livery designer once preserved releases

    £8 a month, in addition you get access to a high speed track showing the true speed of the trains . This is the longest test track at 400 miles for you to really stretch the legs of the gp38 and class 101. With minimal scenery you'll see 67fps all day long with zero tree pop in (or trees)

    For 27.50 a month you get access to all route dlcs for tsw 3 only, access to a selection of sound bites from roadmap bingo and a new achievement called "strastophreric sam" whereby the aim here is to launch your train higher than the Artemis rocket (shouldn't be hard after todays scrub) . Alongside this pointless achievement you will also get your very own colonel failure npc to use in game (providing licensing release form is signed (currently being worked on with the iow licensing ))
