    IIRC that was the BR 232, as far as I've heard it's still very much being worked on, just nowhere near release yet.

    I think...or hope that it's still in development - the screenshots looked so promising and I don’t think all that work done won't be for nothing

    Can you stop referring to DMUs as locomotives, its irritating.

    Maik from TSG is just working with a small team on very detailed and complex content, so the releases take time. Last time I heard him speak about it he said it was still very much in developement, and he even has releases planned after it. Just don't expect it to release soon.

    It is. After the 420 releases which is after niddertalbahn releases. Tsg also works as a second party for dtg so helps with basically almost all German content. Even though the 420 is next, Maik said he's also helping out with second party stuff which he needs to take care of first

    No matter what train or is, it's still described as a loco dlc when you buy it from the store

    It is, promised :) Actually in the last bits of 3d work, next is texturing and then setup and audio. Still takes months of time to have something we can put into testing and maybe a release then.

    That's a lot of releases then. I hope quality will be sufficient through them, and that there is enough time and space to fix issues that only become clear after release. Don't strain yourselves too much!

    oh I know what locos and multiple units are. Just that when you actually buy it, it is referred to as loco dlc. Like the upcoming loco bundle, but one of them is an ice3 which is an emu but the bundle is still called a loco bundle

    Loco stands for locomotive. So how does a DMU move without locomotive power? Maybe Fred Flintstone sticks his feet out the bottom.:D

    No need to get insulting. In DTG game-speak, an "L" code applies to anything with its own motive power.

    Abt the ICE stripes: it also includes scenario's, so not *only* different stripes.

    Yeah, that's true, but personally I don't value scenarios that much as they can be kind of restrictive with safety systems and operations etc, breaking immersion at times.

    Well yeah some people like scenario's more. Also the ICE livery will be more accurate too, with all the train info on if. Creators Club one doesn't :D

    Ah yes scenarios that some may only play once. Gee, I wonder why we still don't have Scenario Planner 2.0?

    Depends on different people. Some like you will pay it once, some will play it more. SP2.0 just got delayed bcs of other projects, its not cancelled, just not WIP at the moment anymore

    At around 1:38 in the video Matt was talking about the TRC and XRs and most people did not know what they are.

    In case anyone is wondering,TRC is the Technical Requirement Checklist for Playstation, and XRs are the Xbox Requirements for Xbox.
    They are lists of requirements your software has to follow to run on each console so it is consistent with everything else in the platform.

    According to SD70ACE in Cajon, will it be subbing into current timetable srevices? Will the addon be randomising / mixing loco content (SD70and ES44)? It would be a very nice visual improvement for this route (as it is SMH).

    If you're talking about the loco bundle, we don't know anything yet. We just know it's a thing and it adds new freight wagons

    I don't think steam is in a good state/foundation to make a big complex loco like the big boy. If the steam foundation isn't good, it'll struggle. Dtg have said they are improving the steam simulation. Remember manual firing isn't even a thing

    The highly speculative on this forum reckon the 30th could be the day however that is based on no official info.

    DTG said MML would be released before the next roadmap.

    30th is my guess! However the achievements have been listed this morning.

    I think last one will be Peak Forest! The 4F was still heavily WIP when they showed it off! So i think next week MML and in 2 weeks Peak Forest, new steam!

    No news, looks like an April release now.

    Mega Sims’s 12 station daily videos had been planned in the lead up to the release, but the route has been delayed.

    There is a roadmap before that date!!!
    My guess is April 4th. Unless the next roadmap is delayed a week to April 13th.

    As I said johnmcglade17, if the next roadmap is on April 6th and JD confirmed that MML will be released before the next roadmap and there has been no update my guess is now April 4th. Originally I thought 30th March.

    Of course I could be wrong and a problem with MML has been found then the delay may be sometime. If so DTG will update the news soon.

    Pure speculation!!!
