How is making unbranded liveries - including for licenses they used only a few months ago - "honouring the wishes of the trademark holder"?

That doesn't make a difference from the angle of "companies don't like unbranded liveries".

GWE remaster.

DTG have just announced that they are doing a lot of "inspired by" liveries...

I wouldn't take OpenRailwayMap as gospel.

Well, considering Dovetail is very unlikely to enter a relationship with the National Trust... Dovetail have now proven themselves on multiple...

There is a difference between what the National Trust claims and what they can actually enforce under the law.

Blaming Focus is nonsensical. DTG were the exact same before they were bought.

I would find that more immersion-breaking than an unbranded livery, and it would probably also be trademark infringement.

I don't see how that would hold up in the slightest.

This concept is known as "freedom of panorama". Actually, a lot of locos in the game do not have manufacturer licenses, as evidenced by them...

Can we get an explanation as to why promises around manual firing etc. were made and not kept?

If they materialise...

For all of Rivet's faults they do at least provide decent manuals. So surely DTG should be able to do the same...

Hardly voting with your wallet if you're still buying it...

In real life the Tring services are limited-stop. Not sure what's going on here... Looking at the LNWR timetable I think you could squeeze all...

It's a lot more complicated than that since concepts like "freedom of panorama" get thrown into the mix.

Reread my post and the posts surrounding it.

I'm not sure about "more forgiving" - the stuff the AP 142 has that the TSW one doesn't aren't really moment-to-moment driving stuff.

You don't know that, in fact. It would completely plausible for the contract between Dovetail and Rivet to say that Dovetail can use Rivet's work...

You have no idea what contracts DTG and Rivet have with each other.

What on Earth does the price charged for consumers have to do with DTG using Rivet's assets?

Rivet have frequently made scenery assets for DTG routes.

Well, we don't know that yet. DTG have been clear that they reserve the right to make upgrade paid again in future.

Assets made for a TSC project can be recycled for a TSW one...

What is the math doing? Why does PTC require it and not other safety systems?

Remember, the game doesn't care if they're working south of Preston. Once a train leaves the map its loco can be assigned to a train entering the...

I presume the intent is to look like a legitimate user, then start posting spam links.

Probably got more to do with Elvas Tower's focus on MSTS/OpenRails...

Of course DTG have made much firmer promises that they've then broken, such as with steam...

As far as I'm aware before the introduction of TASC stopping at stations was entirely under the control of the driver.

Yes, the point is that Matt is flat-out wrong in saying that the TSW5 Deluxe Edition has more content than the TSW4 Deluxe Edition.

Er, there was Dresden - Riesa as well...

Just remember, the people behind Athena Simulations have a history of overpromising and underdelivering...

I've heard a fair bit of criticism of their TSC content...

The FAQ says that everything except Conductor Mode and Achievements (because those things are exclusive to TSW5 routes) are available if you have...

I notice that absent from your post is acknowledgement that you were previously CTO at Skyhook...

Athena Simulations is a Jane Whittaker joint. I don't think I can say any more on this forum.

Well considering the past track record of the people behind Athena Simulations I'm glad it isn't an LNER HST or anything else that would be a...

Agreed - they're right by the included lines.

There is no steam in Roblox. There are a bunch of toy trains that look like steam, diesel, etc. trains.

I don't see TfL agreeing on including an unbranded version of their livery.

My point is that TfL may not be happy about DTG imitating their livery without permission.

It's not the players taking issue with unbranded stuff - it's the companies.

DTG have made a big reversal on unbranded trains, then. I can understand the GWR stuff since the relationship with First seems to be in the...

Are the layered Bakerloo services drivable?

Given the experience of the developer in question, I'd be somewhat surprised if it even materialised!

In the current Avanti timetable it takes 32 minutes non-stop and 36 minutes with a stop at Watford Junction.

No, stopping at stations is automated with the TASC system.

Well yes but you have no actual evidence of this beyond the names being similar.
