I thought i'd try Trenton today, jury is out on if I keep but when I thought I'd see. Very first run, get to Newark and whilst under a solid station roof in the rain when boarding the train you can hear the rain. Io recall feeding the same thing back on SOS. DTG Matt can i flag this please to you .
My second run on trenton highlighted this cars levitating behaviour. I'[m just going to caveat this post to say I've spent £30 on this today, if i'm finding this going in a month after everyone else then it is what it is. Should this still be occurring? Anyway, I want to be constructive about this so I'll start exploring more as much as there was route critique over the time table I quite like the environment. I just wanted to share as these shouldn't be creeping in now at the higher price point when they've been fed back on older routes at the lower I don't feel..
The issue is Newark to NY is a legacy route, they did the bare minimum to that section so we still don't have the ability to climb on to platforms except at defined points and station roofs don't stop the rain. They literally just took a route untouched since TSW2020, extended it to Trenton and stuck a new sky box on it
I bought NYT two weeks ago, got a stuck AI train/red light error roughly one hour into my very first run (right outside Newark Airport). This was without saving, and I waited 15 minutes for it to clear. Have not touched this route since.
I noticed the platform thing yesterday (didn't want to post a third groan) but when I saw it all I could think of was DTG standard route features - fail
If you look at it critically, 90% of the scenery from Sunnyside Yard to Penn station was taken from LIRR. Why, because LIRR and NYT must have a common look. Otherwise LIRR would have to be completely revised in this area, which means additional work. On the other hand, there was hardly any time left because other routes were waiting in the pipeline. But it's good that the topic is addressed again and again, because quality should play a bigger role than quantity. After all, scenic US freight routes, such as CJP or SPG, are implemented so well that one is really impressed. The Harlem Line also showed how convincingly NYC can be implemented for TSW.
Man, just look at those two screenshots. What is there left to say? It’s 2023 and UE4 is one of the most capable game engines out there, and that is what DTG are putting out. Deary deary me.
