    Custom Liveries don't have eras, especially ones that aren't based on reality.
    Besides, that does nothing.
    If I have a Southern 377 and I paint it in ScotRail Saltire, those are both modern. Therefore, both would spawn, still an immersion killer.
    It's worth noting that the game is still over month and a half away from release. They could still be messing around with the internal stuff to get it all set up.
    It could also be a case that only, say, Gen 9 get this and Gen 8 don't, meaning it has to be seperate from the core.

    There's absolutely nothing to suggest it won't be bundled in with the game.
    Got enough LOVEking emojis?

    This thread is simply nonsense in my opinion. This "TSW4"-speculations have now reached a new high level of absurdity.

    I have it on good authority, TSW4 will contain a direct microtransaction to the DTG fund in the Chatham Wetherspoons...

    I take a step back on the weather, but I will post the entire graph of it later.

    For anything else, I will also provide a code graph

    Listen if you're going to disassemble TSW3 at least find some of the cool debugging tools.

    If it wasn't obvious my remark was filled with satire as for the rest of this thread. Given even mat stepped in we know mods are watching - plus OP did post something early that immediately got deleted from what I remember so something is going on

    That or I've completely lost it.

    I have to agree this is all seemingly nonsense. They're not making us pay for weather that'd clearly a decal.

    If u don’t think it’s actually gonna happen, stop telling people because most of us think it is going to happen and we want to discuss it. So y don’t u make ur own thread talking about why it’s not gonna happen so we can all continue talking about it.

    you don’t need to tell everyone on all TSW4 that u don’t think it’s gonna happen because “ there’s no evidence “.

    I mean i said multiple times do not take this 100%, it may turn out to be different,etc.

    The weather thing was wrong, but the other things exist as they do and have not been in the pre-rewrite, like the store,ads, skybox Update

    I heard that the sole reason guard mode was brought in was because we'd need to buy a ticket with real cash to ride as a passenger. In Germany and US it would be fairly straightforward but for UK routes we'll need to select the right ticket out of the 96 available options and if we had the incorrect one DTG will be issuing a penalty notices.

    Going through any game will make things come to light that are unused, used to be used or were planned to be used. The Creator Club ownership thing is an example of that - we already know why it exists, and just because it's in the game's data doesn't mean it's used. Look at all the unused tags in Halo games for instance. Quite frankly, nothing in the screenshots in the OP have any important meaning - I think Matt's earlier post proves that much of the concern on here is a load of rubbish. Plus, the theories of the uses of these tags are hypothetical to say the least - TransactionIdentifier is more likely to have something to do with the game identifying what DLC you own. It would be interesting to find out what these weirder tags mean, but it's worth noting an in-game store is a faux pas on pretty much every platform TSW is available on and would likely result in the forced removal of TSW from storefronts and the potential revoking of any license agreements they have with Sony, Valve, Microsoft and Epic Games.

    About the store, I know Steam allows under certain circumstances external stores. About the transactions, there are additional things i'll post later

    And I mean i've said it before, it's not ment to be seen as proof, more about speculation, and well discussing what the actual purpose and use is, so misunderstanding is a possibility, which had happened. I also said that they might be solely experimental - but we can discuss the future or not?

    I mean does it automatically mean that it's bad to talk about it?

    Just as a quick word on this, the assets that you name are files associated with livery editor decals for the Weather Themed decal pack that came TSW3.

    They are in fact really dull assets.

    The _DCL files are metadata that give you the text associated with the decal in the livery editor (PreOrder_Wind_DCL.uasset is for "TSW3: Wind", for example) and point to the vector image associated with that decal (In this case Preorder_Wind.uasset).

    Speculating on what's coming is fun, I know. If I didn't have gainful employ here at DTG I'm sure I'd be speculating with you.

    I’m assuming all this alarm is coming from looking into the game files of TSW3. Isn’t that a bit like rummaging through my bins today hoping to find next week’s newspapers? TSW4 isn’t out yet, so the files would not be accessible as they don’t exist within TSW3.

    You often find references, code and so on in previous releases. TSW4 is most likely a base update, as the rewrite suggests

    Multiplayer will be fun! It should be just like the timetable… run a signal get kicked from the server. Any of the trains can be driven at the same time however only one person can drive the service which goes for the UP heritage units. Only one can be driven until that user leaves the server. I can only imagine the things you could do in multiplayer.

  42. True but Im minded to think of DCS where the serious servers have a filtering process involving training in that groups SOPs etc followed by a lengthy probationary period. In TSW this could manifest itself as yard work, route learning etc before being let loose on the mainline. That would filter the wheat from the chaff ;)

    people who are just driving poorly on purpose (trolls), or people who actually dont know how to drive, and will sit at a station for a while trying to figure out why the train wont move. and on routes with tight schedules, with trains close together, it will be hell

    I've read through this entire thread twice and I still can't make head nor tail of it.
    It's making my head spin.

    Of course, being American, English is not my first language. That might explain it.

    What in heaven's name is it about?

    Maybe It'll be best not to read the funny papers ( I mean forums ) for the next 3 weeks until whatever is supposed to happen happens.

    All seriousness , my comment was meant as a joke and definitely not to shutdown anyone’s point of view. If that was the way it was received I apologize…. With that said ,let’s continue to speculate
