Hey, that's your choice. The 86 just doesn't do it for me as a loco. I think both companies are of comparable quality so either way should be...
Well it's multiple trains and rolling stock... and yes, others are in the $17-$18 range (380, 390, 158, F59, etc) So honestly you're getting MORE...
The scenery is a big part of the driving experience though. I will say that while SPG is a bit better scenery wise, but it's also super LONG,...
How much of this is just different opinions on what is "fun" though to different people? If someone is having fun doing something I don't...
Even if they all were (for sake of argument) the question was the MOST... meaning one above all others. It's odd someone that thinks EVERYTHING in...
Are you responding to this thread or a different one? The mail delivery cargo pack suggestion maybe? This one is for a loco.
SPG yes, just ran it last night. Clinchfield....hard pass. Not even in the same universe scenery wise. Very disappointed in that one. But yes,...
Because you were joking about nothing being free in 2025. It was part fo the same discussion =-)
Yes. If there are bugs in the Expert 101, they should be fixed for free. New scenarios are not a "bug." =-)
What if it was a fictional place called "Windy City" and just happened to be superficially similar to a certain midwest location?
What "principle" do you think that is illustrating? It's probably not the one you think it.is.
So you get what you have now. When it's released. When the 86 doesn't exist. Couldn't JT just then toggle the 86 to sub in for the 87 anywhere...
Aren't there already mail runs in game? With coaches with covered over windows or some such? I mean... if you think it'll sell sure go for it but...
I'm okay with entirely fictional routes and locos too. Thomas is fictional. Why not have the whole island of Sodor while we're at it? It's not...
20 isn't that much. That's the cost of lunch, and you buy that every day. If someone makes 20 an hour....then you work 1 hour for... how many...
Why is there this fetish for everything being "free?" No, it's NEW stuff they created. They had to pay people to make it. You don't get free gas...
The timetable doesn't now because the 86 isn't in game. You don't know what the future holds. Why do you NEED it desperately in a timetable that...
What exactly would you have when the pack is "scenarios for this particular locomotive?" And they're complex so you need the systems that aren't...
You do get "free" stuff from TSW, but having 10 times the customer base means SCS has a lot more flexibility. Transport sims are niche. Train...
I dunno about a "drug" Vern, but I hear ya. TSW is just a lot more accessible. Run 8 is hardly user friendly even after the install, the way it...
Not sure what you'd expect otherwise. Of course you need the train to use that train. Why would you expect otherwise? When has that ever been the...
Yes and no. There's "allowing it to layer in" and then there's "come fiddle with the code of our timetable." Two different things. One is...
Eh.... Run 8 is only as much a "threat" to TSW as TSC is to be fair. It's akin to a more physics-focused TSC rather than TSW in graphics,...
Yeah, it's a newer DLC that doesn't require base route anymore. But yes Nate is correct. You do miss out on things on that route if you don't buy...
Some do. Some don't. Can't make everyone happy.
I dunno, but the 420 looks kindea neat (just going from seeing videos of it irl)
You don't need the other stuff for the game pack. It's there if you want more AI layers. Some of those 1,200 services will be layered in from...
I love when games use fictional companies/liveries to get around licensing. Some can be quite creative and get to be in-game jokes among players....
But it's not 70. That's for the a route and a loco. He keeps repeating the misleading statement. It would be like saying WCMLS is 70 if you...
I wonder how these will affect other routes regarding substitutions and such? For example if a 94 layers on for example the 110 from Main-Koblenz,...
It's not a "loco" it's a loco and a cargo pack basically. That's about what they cost together in other DLC.
I dunno.... 2 new locos, a new freight car Two reliveried freight cars Reliveried 218 Two scenarios on two routes New timetable for Linke...
Sorry to hear you go. Maybe you can tell DTG why they're losing such talent at your exit interview.
But at it's root... you're still asking for something for nothing since there is new content. 26 player services, 5 scenarios, 1200 AI services...
Yeah to my ear from videos (and the F125 in game) they sound very similar. I forgot about the 93, which is an 88 with a battery pack I believe....
Yeah, I agree. It depends on what's in it. It's not the "same train." It's more content. If people don't want it... then don't buy it. *shrugs*...
I guess that depends on what era we're looking it. WHEN would this route be set? That would change it a bit. Not so much the landmarks, but the...
Hmm so this could stack with Riviera?
I think I read it's the same engine for both in a similar carbody design because they used the same "design language" from the designer. EMD built...
Well that's a halfway backhanded answer. You could just say "DTG doesn't think it won't sell well."
It's great for a project of passion. Much like Athena Simulation's Class 47 project. My point is that it's not offering new capability to sell the...
That still doesn't explain WHY though. That's my original question. What makes an arguably simpler MU that hard to make? Or make it less...
Sounds like a great suggestion if you choose a specific model and do a "suggestions" thread =-)
Well didn't say that.... said it wasn't "much different." And it's not. Different engine? Different traction motors? Different cab entirely?...
The sound of slamming doors?
That's true of every EMU that appears the game, not just slam doors. What about slam doors makes them harder to make per your argument? Or...
But you don't see it in the game yourself. How can something you don't have to see "ruin" it for you?
Did you just respond to your own post 3 times in a row? Whoa there chief, let some other people comment on your question first =-)
You have two options.... 1. Less content with proper liveries 2. More content with unbranded liveries in a few cases I'm voting for the second....
You didn't make your case. Please explain further. Why are slam door EMUs "more work" or "less profit" in your opinion?
