Three things: 1- I still say project polls and preorders are the way to go for these sorts of projects. Something to show actual interest by a...

Yes, freight without any pickup/drop offs is just like passenger routes that don't have any passenger stops.

Kind of like how Frankfurt is pretty but boring as hell? *shrugs* To each their own.

Someone was just saying yesterday there are "too many routes in the mountains".... different opinions. Hmmmm.

What does "heavy freight" mean to you? Do you include freight on UK/German routes? They have been working quite a bit on Vectron-pulled freight on...

No, there's 99% of the forum for criticism. Look around. Frankly it's "unfair" to assume that it's 50/50 across the forum. If you go on a...

And as I've said... you have every other thread to post complaints on. Yet the one thread that says "good job DTG you do some things right" is...

And again... you're falsely saying that my position is "no criticism"... but that's not true. I think there's too much unfounded criticism based...

Again... "expectations." Some are valid criticism, such as the suspension taking a year longer than advertised, or some glitches and stuttering or...

You're also grading it on your own personal idea of what "100%" is, not every other player's idea, nor the developer's. Therefore, if your...

I think this is the difference in a nutshell. I am satisfied with the steam and enjoy it. You aren't. I get it we disagree on what is "playable"...

Then.... there's your answer if you want more realistic?

TSC has good variety of freight and much of that also has hills/mountains too. They well sell. If it's "good" or not is entirely a personal...

You missed out. They are nice maps and the steam trains in game are fun. I think Peak Forest is better looking of the two myself, but that's...

"Microsoft Flight Simulator" is regularly attacked for being "not authentic enough" too.... but it's still the leading retail flight sim out...

I don't think it's the routes. It's the lack of more "gameplay loop" content. There's nothing seriously wrong with most of the US freight routes...

And I think you're reasonably too critical for the amount you invest compared to what you get. *shrugs* So we both have opinions. Whoopee. Would...

For passengers yes. Not freight.

Ah yes... the whole "if you don't agree with me, I'll insult your motives." *slow golf clap* Very original. I don't entirely disagree with all...

Reminds me of modern movie directors. Director: "If you don't like it, then don't watch it!" *Audience doesn't watch it* Director: "Why the...

There's more money to be made there. If you combine low income with lots of bitching, then it's not worth it. If it's bitching with good income...

So you went on a US Freight thread to ask for more German EMUs?

Sure. That won't lead to anything more than that.

I have a hunch (can't back it up) the freight people mostly just went to other platforms. Can only speak by my experience, that of friends and...

So... if I like it that way... and DTG likes it that way... and most of the player base like it that way.... then maybe it's a popular, rational...

Good thing it's not just about you then too. Gee.. that was a hard logical leap now wasn't it? ;-) Nice jump to something unrelated though.

Run 8, Sim Rail, etc.... just seem too small to target. They're more hobbies than major businesses. Why sue people with no money? Now someone who...

You have the ability to complain yes. Others have the ability to judge if your complaints are worthy too. Goes both ways.

You're the one assuming it's "clumsy" or even necessary to "fix." I don't demand that much "accuracy" in a game. If it's something you don't even...

It is a game. It's a lot of hassle and more source for things to go wrong for an infinitessimal difference. Outside of someone just nitpicking is...

No one said "impossible." Just that it was time consuming and labor intensive. On the other hand... YOU could go into scenario creator YOURSELF...

You're assuming Class 2 and Class 3 don't drive at track speeds? He didn't say "heritage" or "museum."

That won't satisfy the 80% of DTG market that is on consoles, which is a major sticking point. That is TSW's "niche."

And THAT right there is why we can't have nice things. Because they aren't "perfect" to a few subjective people. I am happy with the existing US...

No idea what a "brown mac" refers to.

You seem to forget that DTG only makes for a tiny portion of the world. I agree the rest of the world exists. However, has DTG shown any interest...

Which hasn't happened....the opposite has happened. They are going for routes that enable them to wedge newer stock into them (such as the 390, etc)

It's simple...whatever goes on a route... goes on a route. The fetish over "new locos" JUST to have something "new" is a bit obsessive. Again,...

This is why we can't have nice things. Things are usually clear as mud.

To address the specific point...what would you add to Glossop? The 323 is what was used on that line, and the 323 already exists for BCC. So.......

Trains without tracks would be a bit silly.

Sorry yes, the odd double negative got me.

"Won't do anything modern?" Almost everything in TSW is "modern" as in the last decade. To get any more "modern" you'd have to time travel.

It's tough to give one "time" because different routes take different amounts of time. Some stop more than others for example. Just like any TSW...

If you are buying discounted content, then you are still giving them money, encouraging them to continue. I never said "no one" had "any" issues....

Not everyone gets this "stuttering", and most don't have the issue. If the problem is "people with older systems who aren't buying new content" is...

Sales are up... so apparently most people do see things as adequate.

The emphasis is not just for "screaming" it's also for emphasis since some people seem to miss emphasized points. Nitpicking aside (not sure why...

a) if they're "doing other things" they're not "preserving." They are now doing those "other things" full time...which they wouldn't do if you...
