The OP specifically asked "are there any additions to the steam simulation over TSW3?".

Same difference.

It being finished.

Which is not relevant to what the OP was asking about...

I strongly suspect that the TSW version of 66587 will be stripped of any Freightliner branding the real loco might carry.

I would prefer a better source than Wikipedia - and that's only referring to the also-obsolete "instanter" coupling in any case.

[citation needed]

I am fairly certain that three-link loose couplings are no longer used...

UK freight trains can have multiple locos perfectly fine; the factors restricting train length are separate.

No new steam locomotives should be made until manual firing is added.

Have you actually looked at the credits for Blackpool Branches?

Union Workshop is only two people. For comparison the Blackpool Branches dev team was in the double digits.

Of course that ignores that a lack of support for old routes and failing to deliver on promised features harms sales of future content...

In the UK where absolute block is used, yes.

Again, why does the existence of other services detract from the high-speed services? Your claim isn't even true because ECML comes with freight...

Understand if you consider this off topic or can't answer, but as you're the only person I know who's tried to make custom signals, can you give...

What's interesting is that IIRC Matt claimed around Peak Forest's release that the reason Peak Forest didn't add manual firing was because they...

There aren't that many significant speed changes between Peterborough and Doncaster either... And from TSC London-Peterborough isn't a straight...

Is this an admission that no work is done or being planned to be done on manual firing?

How is London-Peterborough a "boring A to B run" and Peterborough-Doncaster isn't?

Why does that detract from the high-speed services?

How does the majority of services being commuter services detract from the high-speed services?

If manual firing was coming with either it presumably would have been mentioned, unfortunately.

Is there any news at all on manual firing?

The problem is that DTG have not given any reason to trust them when they say "it needs a bit more time, but it's coming".

The latter.

For clarification - it can't start them up, but it will happily drive them around regardless.

Cold starts are actually perfectly possible in timetables - the problem is that the AI doesn't know how to start the trains up, and will happily...

I should note that Matt has been saying this for multiple years now...

So clearly you don't mind things not being perfectly accurate.

Again, I said more accurate, not completely accurate. If that's the case then surely you want there to not be 801/1s in the game at all at the...

I'm not sure I buy that a more accurate 801/1 would need that level of access.

It's confirmation that we can probably expect TSW5 in 2024 or 2025, which is not a good thing.

"Within each franchise core games are typically superseded by a new iteration after a period" sounds pretty damning...

Glossop until steam locos are finished. Do not reward DTG for releasing unfinished content and then not finishing it.

And furthermore - you can only get such a community if third-party devs can rely on there being some degree of stability - i.e. not releasing a...

I'm sorry, claiming things like the number of developers creating assets will be the same as the number of people designing levels is just utter...

I would be highly dubious of the accuracy of the information a chatbot would give. Just writing some text/screenshot guides would seem like a...

Infamously there was loco DLC as well.

If LGV Mediterranee is so popular, why did DTG never make any DLC for it?

Is this actual acknowledgement that steam locos two years and two games after their release are still fundamentally broken? Also you have to...

I hope this isn't an excuse for not fixing issues in old content...

Akita Shinkansen. But this is all pedantry over a figure of speech...

I'd presume that has something to do with the gameplay pack they're working on...

Except all the steam engines are fundamentally unfinished and thus unfun to drive...

Based on DTG's past actions any new historic US route would probably be a route that could use the F7. In any case write me down as someone...

Also read this, it's the best explanation of PZB I've found: https://www.sh1.org/eisenbahn/rindusi.htm

Yes, I've thought this would be a good idea as well - though personally I'd want to be able to speed things up!

You don't extract the .pak file, you just put it in the same folder as the rest of your DLC.
