THAT"S why it sounds so familiar. It IS the same Caterpillar engine in the Class 68 that's used in the F125. So they do sound almost identical. It...
They hauled nuclear stuff for the nuke plants didn't they? And some other random stuff. I'd be okay if the 68 was just in Scottish colors. Still...
Someone will start putting a model railway in, I bet you...
No worse than going to the movies or eating nice dinners if it's just one route a week. Now if you overdose and buy em all at once, that's on you ;-)
Simply the 104 and having decent AI traffic would be a huge start yes. Plus the potential for 104 layers.
On FOOT? Braver than me mate. That's a LOT of walking.... Hiking Simulator World 5 ;-) Edit: Uh oh, I may have given DTG a new game idea....
I can see how especially if you don't do a whole route it could be useful in shorter time periods. For example Bakerloo is only 14 miles so going...
Never said it was VERY useful. It's a bone thrown to the "longer routes" community who are so vocal about it. Most people won't use it much if at...
Cajon Pass is about my limit at I think 2.5 hours end to end. That's a pretty big time investment. I don't usually do MSFS, I'm more into DCS, and...
To do so you still need the routes to connect however. Whether the feature exists or not, even pretending to do a drive across the UK requires...
Empire Corridor along the Hudson and Albany to Boston bit are also in TSC, so quite doable.
I'm betting that's on the list for TSW 6, but it takes time. There's also likely a huge market for the whole "Acela Corridor" down to DC when they...
You mean another route that's not in game?
I mean... they're parallel so you could do both pretty easily. But if going to St Pancras it can link to the SEHS. Since all the London stations...
There's nothing saying they can't do the other lines. DTG is heavily investing in the West Coast so it's not far beyond the pale. The Riverside...
As I said it's "testing the waters" to see if people really would use it or if it sells more routes. If people go ga-ga over it, then maybe they...
Now that route hopping is a thing.... what are the biggest "missing links" that should be focused on to connect existing routes? For example now...
US ANT-SBD-CJP UK The Scottish routes just make sense. They are together irl. Wouldn't even need to change the rolling stock or liveries. GER...
It's a way to test the waters without putting in huge amounts of programming work making the routes themselves "compatible." This method is really...
I really haven't looked into the German routes in TSC yet. Preferably something like Nidder/Maintalbahn would be preferable, a slower branch line....
Haha. Yeah. Not saying I'd be GOOD at it, but it gives me something to do while cruising around seeing the sights. I'd be bored JUST watching the...
Yeah that's what I mean. I don't find it "fun" so would just go to the menu to get to driving. Then again, there's people here that don't want to...
Currently? No. However, there are similar freight consists on ANT and CJP so if they layer in a couple across San bernadino, that would create the...
We'll see. If you cut loading times by 30 seconds but stand around for 12 minutes, yeah it's back to the menu time.
I believe the dev who came on here said it would come with an updated timetable that would be "much busier" so it'll be more than the 104... MAYBE...
That's the gist of it right there.... different people want different things. I'd prefer a quieter line with more to do. But then, I don't play it...
The "quick drive" interface/UI is a lot easier to use than TSW. Less clicking around and creating. You can just hop in, choose a route, choose...
Well we know what ones are in the TSW 5 FAQ already listed for release.
The only downside is that you'll ONLY be getting "modern" routes from then on, since other eras won't "fit" the timetables/era/rolling stock. And...
What is the "reasonable expectation" about being told you can drive between routes... but then having routes from different eras that are...
The last part is my biggest concern. You have to PLAN AHEAD for this sort of thing, and some routes will "work" and others will have to be...
Possibly. Although if (as I suspect) they are JUST writing a simple code to reroute from one "mission" to another, then it's relatively little...
Agreed. 9 routes for a new player is REALLY sweet. It's a steep entry price, but that's a LOT of content. And to be fair many AAA games with DLC...
Dead item to YOU. DTG is banking that upgrading to TSW 5 will bring in a TON of new players. You can disagree with their marketing, but that's...
Ah. I see the misunderstanding. I meant the specific trains referenced "in real life" compared to their TSW counterparts that don't stop irl at...
You already get a "deal" even if you have Cajon Pass because each train's individual cost adds up to more than the Deluxe upgrade.
Yes they exist. No one is arguing that they don't exist. Just saying that the game has artificially created ones because of the routes are...
Please read my comments. Many of the "waits" are created by mismatched schedules, when in fact in real life the trains don't have lengthy waits....
Guess we'll find out. I don't see why they would intentionally put labor into making it LESS convenient for players, especially freight players...
From what I've seen it just lists the potential routes you CAN connect to in the 2nd route timetable. You don't decide what time...just which one...
It's still not clear what "time" it is in the new route. If the first route ends at 5:30, the new route starts at 6:00... We agree that the next...
It's simple... the veteran players who have "all the routes" already are collectors and will get Deluxe for the 390 and the Vectron to "collect...
The route is just there for the "new people" to have that and San Bernadino out of the gate. Then then can "route hop." The claim was to be able...
From the looks of the route (irl) it seems like it'll be a mix of the rolling stock of Antelope with the urban commuter feel of Peninsula. Of...
I think it all depends on your definition of "enthusiast." Someone who says "cool I like trains"... okay. Someone who is gonna talk selfies...
I'd love to go out and make some contacts with the local railroads, but I thought we were told NOT to contact them to solicit help? The website...
