Now THAT would be a cool gimmick route. Maybe model the "northern lights"? Or would that be too much? DTG already has the AMTRAK contacts and the...
Yeah that's a pretty big wishlist. =-)
Because the routes without it are even worse than the "no big deal?" It's certainly something that would be "neat" but over 99% of people won't...
Yup. I thought that was just accepted as reality. If you look around and EVERY loco you see is to this level...why would you assume that...
Seems like it would layer on a number of routes then?
I haven't found a lot on the Class 104. Was it a manual transmission like the 101? That one can be a bit finicky to drive in TSW. (Prolly irl too)...
They sure make nice "open sky" drives that's for sure. Maybe we can get some AMTRAK action out that way to revitalize those maps a bit too =-)...
I've wondered about that. They must lose some money on the route bundles, but it's seen as acceptable by increasing the number of players since...
I can see this becoming a slippery slope like everything else in TSW. If they DO institute this, some people will say it's "ruining everything."...
Get all the routes up to TOD4 and have solid lighting first (so it's not a black hole at night) first.... then worry about luxuries like star...
Haha!
Well no, it'd have to be "expert level" and take at least twice as long to create as other routes to be the same comparison.
Will this same issue recur with other similar third party content in the future?
It would be like not doing any passenger content in German or UK routes.
Ya know, I think the exact same thing about commuter runs.... Yet the majority of the customer base seems to enjoy them. More power to them, even...
As I've said, I admit I'm a casual. The "authenticity" doesn't bother me as much as dedicated railfans. I'd have a hard time telling the...
The key I think is to make some unique content to make it your OWN addition. Add something that's not been in 10 posts already. Put in a piece...
I like that you're putting your own spin on things. I agree that it'd be better in a PDF format more "newspaper/magazine" style. As for where it...
This is where I show I'm a casual because I don't know what that part of England has for "accurate trees and fields" (have only been to the east...
I don't recall it listed (as it's one of my favorites) The 20, 31, 40, 45, the Jubilee are there I recall, as well as the 101 I think and 142....
Well that explains a few things. Thank you.
They seem to disappear as soon as they're asked to pay more for more product. The only issue I can see with it is that it is so limited in...
Finally got to run some on Blackpool. Not bad. The selections are still a bit limited, but you can at least use a lot of different layered stock...
It's all personal opinion. I don't see much difference in the scenery, especially the far scenery. (Whole hillsides with no grass for example)...
I'm good with unbranded stuff. MUCH of the forum? Not so much. Also some of the inaccuracies and "fudge" factor that gets things "close enough" in...
I WANT to like it more... but yeah it's really dated, especially at night, etc. Sadly I'd put it in a similar state to WCL, which also could be...
I simply ask for myself... do I value it enough to pay the price? It's just one more thing in life to decide to spend money on or not. What would...
Sorry I thought you understood. While yes "many" of the assets are shared, the "majority" aren't really as universal as claimed. I agreed that it...
Not duplicating assets is a fine idea. Some of it is already done by TSW I believe. However, it's the unique assets that drives up development...
Which is why I figured 4 years from now seems about right =-)
You wanted an answer and you got it. Yes, as I said we can "theorycraft" and play the "what if" game. What if TSW went to a new graphics engine?...
It's good to dream, but beggars can't be choosers ;-)
Still say you could be arguing this on the thread created for it... DTG lists the file size of "North Trans-Penine" as 3.3 GB and the nearly...
Yeah it does feel like a huge "sandbox" with very little in it rather than a populated, "live" route. Did the Class 47 go on one or both? Seems...
Is it? I could have sworn I read they were both 1958.... well anyway, it fits right in that window well. It surprised me that there was nothing...
A lot of this is addressed in the existing "Why Can't Routes be Longer" thread. Among those reasons is that consoles ARE hard pressed for hard...
Agreed. The 104, 08 and 45 would be fine along with the rolling stock already mentioned. I know they can argue that it's set in 1958 and the 45...
I can back those choices. Both are seriously missing in the game (especially the 25 given how prevalent it was at the time)
It's it's NECESSARY to run the newer stuff, the bugs are worked out and it's heavily on sale... sure. Otherwise nah. I'll stick with 4.
Yes, a few scenarios mention "heavy rains" and "floods" etc. Maybe get one you just drive through it? Prolly mean a lot of water physics and...
French TGV Railway targeted for "sabotage" https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c28eyr3y18yo Not sure if I believe the "terrorism" narrative. It...
I keep hearing about "Historic BR blue" but.... it seems like there's a LOT of different "BR blues" in game =-)
Yes, those manuals are pretty good. Not anywhere near the level of detail of MP600's comments, but thank you for sharing that link again.
Hmmm the Class 60 looks interesting. Not all that difference in performance to a Class 66, but definitely more "British" as opposed a converted...
