Coming soon to Train Simulator, the scenic island railway that traverses the hills of Rügen between Stralsund and Sassnitz. READ THE FULL ARTICLE
Dovetail, don't you ever dare not to include some DDR-era stock with scenarios (Ludmila's and 243's along with B's and Mitropa's).
So far, there have been 11 releases this year, not including scenario packs. Of those, there were 4 locomotives/routes from Germany, 3 locomotives/routes from the UK, and 3 locomotives from the US, plus the RhB Enhancement Pack. Narrowing it further, DTG made the North Wales Coast Extension and the Hudson Line, plus the Stralsund - Sassnitz line. Everything else was made by 3rd parties and they get creative control over what they make - it just so happened that those routes and locos made it through QA first. Routes like the Japanese ones you've suggested aren't made for the reason you list for not liking Promontory - to DTG, they're a bit of a one off. Germany, the UK, and the US are the largest markets for train simulators; of course it makes sense a company trying to make a profit will cater to them. The 3rd party devs who make routes almost as pet projects generally don't worry too much about how much money it will make, but instead go for the quality factor. As a side note, Euston and Birmingham are available from different routes - for Euston to Birmingham, try the WCML v5: https://www.uktrainsim.com/filelib-info.php?form_fileid=38218 For London to Birmingham via the Chiltern Line, check out the JustTrains version: https://www.justtrains.net/product/chiltern-main-line-london-birmingham and the extension to Aylesbury: https://www.justtrains.net/product/chiltern-main-line-london-aylesbury-extension
The route is set in 2019 DR Locos and stock would look out of place in a modern route But there is nothing to stop You running the trains You wish to see 132s and 243s are already available from other sources so it would be wasteful for DTG to make them Peter
I don't think it's that there are too many German routes coming out, it's that the new German routes get WAY more articles made about them than everything else, so it gives off an illusion of constant German routes.
Add to this people seeing Austrian routes being made by third parties and thinking it's DTGs fault they're being made... Funny enough I think if US, Canadian or Australian companies decided to make high quality routes for their countries DTG would possibly promote them All I'm seeing is a few scenario packs from the US though Much of the UK content is being done by third parties, so better to look outside of DTG for them
G-Trax have made a couple of routes which are available thru DTG https://store.steampowered.com/app/677950/Train_Simulator_Bessemer__Lake_Erie_Route_AddOn/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/...rthern_Suisun_Bay__San_Francisco_Route_AddOn/ And 3 different steam locos
