None of the above. I tend to avoid urban areas where possible irl and in game. On the issue of "North American Routes" however, TSW has already...
Not saying it doesn't exist...just that I find it perfectly playable and acceptable....you do not. That's the point. It's not "complete" for you....
So you admit steam does exist in TSW...just not the EXACT steam features you want? If TSW won't do it, and the other companies ARE potentially...
Isn't the ES-64 a Eurosprinter just like the 1116, which you can already get on Voralberg? How different are they? I really am not into...
There’s not much ON the roadmap for me to be excited about. The Fife improvements… should happen anyway. Be nice to know what the “New UK Route”...
It's not NY that's fictional. You're thinking of Australia. We all know that's too weird to exist ;-) j/k
Because they've said they can't DO steam with the current game system. It would require a whole new game system design, essentially a new game. Do...
I have no experience in how hard it is to "port" over things to console, but it seems like it'd be easier for RRO and RR and expand to Xbox or PS...
Valid point. What console? Maybe that's where the focus should be... bringing those games to consoles? Does TSC use the same Simulgraph that...
I'm not an audiophile by any means, nor an expert on trains. If it "seems" fine, it's okay. It just has to "fit." Diesel engine needs to sounds...
Nothing serious, I'm just curious how people play the game and why. There's so much discussion in individual bits that I'm wondering more...
The argument that "people aren't playing steam because it's not good enough" seems counter-logical. In any other "sim" you judge interest by if...
It truly is about expectations...your PERSONAL expectations about value. I look at it from my perspective since it's my money and time. I ask...
100%. The assets are already THERE. They worked to create them. Why not use them? Much, much easier to use existing content better compared to...
Currently.... yes. That's been made clear. I thought the whole question was "if it could be done"?
I'd probably be able to open my own dev studio and hire people to make routes myself if I was a millionaire.
For myself, I guess it depends on what you like. Railfans WOULD enjoy sitting at a station running signals or whatever... since many admit they...
Having played a couple services now on the route, I think it's not half bad. I'm just a casual compared to a lot of folks here, but I like it. The...
Oh ok, so the one that opens.... next week? Wow that's pretty timely! I really do like the 150 and 170 series (sorta same thing?) They're a nice...
Must be a British thing. We just call them "maintenance" over here. Or "track maintenance" as opposed to say "vehicle/shop maintenance" or...
"Route extensions" vs "modular routes" seem very similar. I can see the difference in theory, but in practice.... "modular routes" over time would...
Can't agree there.I like having something that looks, sounds and SORTA feels like steam.over "nothing at all." Not being a steam affecionado, I...
That would be cool.... I always thought the "railfans" on many of the routes at least should wave or something. Horseshoe Curve for example, or...
There are several issues at work with "preserving" old DLCs. There can be a synergy if done correctly whereas other "departments" could be...
I am way behind the ball on keeping up with TSW news, but from a Google search.... it WAS open and now it's REOPENING next month in real life?...
I applaud your dedication on the Pacer ;-)
What if it only GETS better because of player feedback over that year? That makes you an integral part of success which you could be proud of.
Not sure why multiplayer would automatically be "arcadey." It just literally means sharing an experience with another person...who would arguably...
We're just gonna have to agree to disagree on CCB I think. Maybe it's just personal differences on what makes "good" scenery. I DO like a nice,...
If we just give it a moustache and call it "Tomas Mi Tren Amigo" will that avoid copyright lawsuits? =-)
I just figured not being able to get around the mass of passengers pushing and shoving in the stations was an intentional part of the game =-) If...
The Class 66 in many of those routes is just the RRTT version doing rail cleaning. =-) Not really glamorous but necessary I guess.
GP-38 is my "go to." It's ubiquitious on US lines and it's nice and analog. Very nostalgic to me. For UK, the Class 20 is a nice little workhorse....
North America GP-38s are familiar (saw them all the time as a kid) and analog. The sounds on the Canadian ones are the most accurate from personal...
I think "what ifs" could be interesting. Those railways that fell through and never reached fruition, or only lasted a short time then went...
Just picked up a few DLCs. Looking forward to getting into them more.
By "wiggling" to you mean the "swaying motion" of walking? I'd say that's the opposite of being "drunk" but yes I get what you are saying. That's...
I kinda like HSC. There are some odd issues like the 2-d patch of trees in the middle of the route and some odd buildings, but overall I can't say...
Wait, so steam works right on TS? Sorry I haven't gotten around to TS yet, still learning TSW. Wonder what TSW4 inevitably upgrades to (TSW5 no...
Wow, those graphics look even better than my PC and I thought it was on high settings....
Good advice. I'll have to look into it. I haven't gotten into TSC yet. Still cutting teeth on TSW before getting into another money sink... I mean...
I love it for freight. Have to build my own, but agreed it IS very scenic and I love the period theme. You can even put some diesel on it...
I mean "Grand Canyon" as in the national park. You go on holiday... see it...then go somewhere else next year. That's kind of how Cajon Pass and...
Haha, quite a trip! It's all about having a fun experience at the end of the day. I kinda like to see how the AI traffic handles changes.
That's why I suggested someone who DOES enjoy steam to build an "advanced/expert" steam engine to prove it can work. Plenty of third party...
"Recommended" or "popular"? A lot of people go to the Grand Canyon once... but keep going every year? I will admit I "cut my teeth" on Canyon...
I don't think it's the length as a measure... it's what's ON the route that matters (both in scenery and usable content.) There's lots of empty...
As Rohr said, I really like pickup/drop offs. It's not about the length of the route, it's about the variety and scenery. Also not sure how hard a...
I'm going to be unpopular here say that for ME as a casual player, steam is "good enough" physics-wise. I don't know how much of the player base...
Ah so it's just me mucking up the process, but otherwise it's entirely scripted. That makes sense =-)
