"Time sinks" seems to be a common thing now in games. Rather than "how can we encourage people to have fun" (since they can't measure that) to get...
Compared to most other games, they act about like those NPCs. Not amazing, but not the disaster being descibed in hyperbole either. They're...
That's a matter for debate among lawyers.
But it's modeled... if you run down the track. It's a LOOOONG ways. And yeah I thought there was a ferry there still. As well as nuclear fuel...
But you should still be able to reach it in free roam even if there's no scheduled service.
Is there a way to use the miles of track down to Heysham and the port beyond Morecambe? I get red signals on one leg and a "leaving the game area"...
You want it to be exactly the same and the same cost when costs to make the routes have doubled? Well I want the same or better work from you but...
Preston to Stafford is shorter than WCMLOS by about 20 miles. But if they did the Stoke on Trent Loop.... it'd be pretty close to the same....
I think "Mitten" is my favorite name for a TSW route now. It sounds like taking your adorable kitten along while you drive. "Railway Adventures...
It's a valid point. If collecting whatever makes someone feel good that's fine. I just think that the challenges that "do something" bring more...
I agree Crosstie except the last bit. Since we are already getting lower quality to offset having to raise prices as much as they otherwise would,...
XP doesn't do anything in the game though.
Unless you have a full time job ;-) Seriously though, that's a big commitment. For people who aren't doing HST all the time, that's a lot of...
A good way of looking at it. What else could you buy with that money instead? I can spend X hours on a DLC.... or.... go to the movies? Go out to...
It substitutes for the other locos and adds 3 scenarios.
Well, the cost of everything has gone up about double in the last 10 years, so why would these be any less? Seriously, when I go to the store I...
I can only speak to what I've played, but I find Derail Valley to have what I THINK is the most "accurate" steam physics/controls. Not the most...
I admittedly haven't played either SCS much lately. I keep meaning to go back since there's so much new content, but there's only so much time =-)...
Keep fighting the past battles with nothing new to add. This thread has entirely derailed from discussion of a new route which was what made it...
I know you play Derail Valley Vern, what other modern games do you guys regularly boot up?
Third parties are free to do so. I've encouraged that in every thread on it. And yes the Expert 101 is a perfect example I've made before on...
There are several threads already. It's been discussed over and over, and I'm not disagreeing there are SOME steam fans out there obviously. It's...
TSC is not TSW. The TSW crowd is focused on newer trains, probably because the player base is younger and on consoles. Do we REALLY need to...
Nothing about heat or defog either.
The majority of the playerbase aren't interested in steam, no. Most aren't even interested in anything before 1970 to be fair. It's an 80/20 at...
At the risk of straying even further from the original topic... I guess I just don't NEED TSW to be "everything." It doesn't need to be steam....
What about the route without steam?
NOT interested in steam being in TSW. There's dozens and dozens of those threads. Instead, I'm curious what people think IS the best steam...
The forum is a tiny amount of the player base.
Oh, you're right I didn't even think about the GOBLIN and that's actually closer to what you're getting than WSR or IOW. So yeah that could be...
Well then, guess it'd be conspicuous by it's absence. A combined Windmere/108 pack would be worth a few bucks. There's quite a few preserved too...
That's as long as West Somerset Railway is. Isle of Wight is only 8.5 miles. What do they cost? That would seem to be a fair price. Although as...
Is the 108 accurate for that time period? If so, then that sounds like a nice package deal.
While I find the LGV mind numbingly boring, I don't see the SNCF changing their minds, especially after that kerfuffle around the Olympics....
it's rare for a company to have a non-expiring lease. VERY rare. While it makes sense to you from a TSW DLC perspective, it's not a great deal...
I did see news about SNCF being terrified of access to railways for fear of "sabotage" after the attacks on railway infrastructure. Even if it's...
Could be a Rivet/Leven situation if people are loud enough. Although if not, I wonder what could be bundled with it to make an "extension" worth...
I can see it. Not sure what's down that way in real life. There's only a handful of DMUs that run shuttles 3-4 times a day isn't there? Doing the...
Well there's two West Coast Mainline routes now. I'm hoping given past history that JT does Carlisle to Glasgow next as that makes logical sense...
I'm guessing there's a 50/50 chance of JT extending their best selling route north to Glasgow. It's that or they go south out of Preston. Either...
Interesting. So 84% of those who voted want post-steam 1970, with the majority pre-2000s. So if you make something in that 3 decades it's pretty...
They do though. And it was already an issue in this thread. Hey, if you want them fine, but I'd say fix the passengers jumping onto the train...
Because then people would complain they were stationary. Then if they were animated people would complain they "don't like the person working at...
It wouldn't be effective since they would still walk into traffic....
Has that been suggested in particular yet?
Separate names with a comma.
