Hey Everyone! On Tuesday 1st April, we'll be previewing Athena Simulations ECML Diesel Railtour Pack. Please ask your questions here and we'll do our best to answer them on stream or on this post soon after! Please stay on the topic of ECML Diesel Railtour and the included content, and use the Coming Soon Article for any discussions, so that we're able to keep track of both the questions and feedback separately.
What changes have been made to the Class 45 & 40, do they have suspension for example? Or are they the same as before?
Well I’ll lead with the question on many lips, why are we getting a GWR Class 47 for the ECML and not a new loco like the much requested Class 55 Deltic? This would have guaranteed 100’s of Day One sales and been a real crowd pleaser, rather than just another Spoon which from the cab view will be no different to what can be enjoyed on many existing routes. How comprehensive is the Mark One rebuild? A paint job or updated (as in the more modern style) interiors? Why have you not take the opportunity to add some additional Mark One vehicles, in particular some catering coaches? It is rather unrealistic to have a Railtour consist without a buffet or restaurant car in the formation. Also vehicles like an SK or CK to add more variety to the consists.
Why does this pack exist? Why wasn't any feedback implemented at all? The shade of green is wrong for one, and two the headlight is still not in the position that it's supposed to be in. This packs looks shoddy at best if I'm being really honest here....
Do the included MK1's in this pack have suspension? Why another 47 when there's so much more variety sorely needed in TSW? Just feels like a waste of time in my opinion
Dont want to rephrase previous post, and fully agree with "Why another 47 when there's so much more variety sorely needed in TSW?"
Picking up from something I saw on Reddit earlier, is Athena a full time developer or is it another "cosplay company" i.e. a handful of people creating stuff in their spare time on their home PC's and hoping to make some money off it?
Does the Class 47 have a completely new cab from scratch, and if so what are the differences compared to the 47 that already exists in game. Are the Mk1s just reskins, and if not what are the internal differences between the existing Mk1s and the new editions? Really excited for both, the blue and grey Mk1s look superb from the exterior images too. A nice little 'foot in the door' pack for this developer.
Has there been any updates at all to the other included locos? Seems a bit pointless including them but not updating them in any way.
Here is a question about this add on, it looks fantastic in all and really looking forward to the live stream, but everytime I have a problem or my system crashes, part of the advice to address the issues is to turn off layers. So, why should we buy add on layers if the layers are causing a strain and crashing our systems, then we are advised to turn the layers off? Is this add on going to crash our systems, cause frame rate drops, has it being beta tested on standard consoles?
