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...
Wow, they really did go over them.
Thank you for that complete list. That's a lot of work!
I have the Freight pack and NTP... guess I'll give it a shot while it's on sale. Thakns for feedback everyone.
No, I'm just curious what you mean. I didn't see any headcodes for a freight train in the timetable, only the one scenario. So if you mean...
Trains plural, and "unfitted?"
I know 34% doesn't seem like a lot, but that's as high as it's ever been. It seems like a nice deal, but I'm not seeing any real freight on the...
Drepwater? Is that a place? It really sounds it should be a place in England.

I thought "Porree" was just the German word for "Leek"? Could be wrong. I always mix them up with scallions too...same family I guess.
Ooooh... a save... yeah that might be an issue for TSW at this point.....
Neat 1920s assets!
Specifically, I think it was time= money, and you need to recoup that cost and market research said most people weren't willing to pay double for...
Or bang vs BANG. Compare the amount of content and sales between the two. Yes, smaller teams can do more with less because they don't invest so...
That's not a lot. Most wouldn't be developers, and people underestimate how much work is involved. Also if it's anything like every other game...
TSC didn't just upgrade to 2024? Honestly I dunno since I just started with 2024 so had to pay for it. If not, then that's a model for TSW. They...
"enthusiasm?"
To clarify.... "expert level" steam content... there is a lot of steam traction. It's just not expertly modeled. That's markedly different than...
Which is why I said it's available in TSC. Just like there's no avatars in TSC. I play both and don't demand that everything be in both of them....
But you just said it's being done by third parties..... is it being done or is it not being done?
If it's in the game, then it's in the game. Why does DTG personally have to do it? That's the whole point of having third party developers do...
If we're going with "what ifs".... IF it's like TSW 4 and there is lots of backwards compatibility (you can use older content just fine) and there...
Arguably they could say their company DOES do lots of steam...just not in TSW, since they're both the same company.
It's not really a fair question until they a) announce TSW 5, and b) tell us what's in it. I can't say I want or don't want something that hasn't...
I get that, and I explained my response. His concept is sound. My point is that it's the designer's choice and they have reasons for why they end...
Again...within the established limits. London Commuter is around 50 miles...which is about "normal." How much farther would you have it go? It...
That's a common complaint and it's a valid criticism, but I think it has a lot to do with ease of development. They are based in the UK so it's a...
It's true of US routes too. Cajon Pass starts at San Bernadino (major railyard) and ends at Barstow (major railyard) Cheyenne goes between two...
