+1 I don’t consider myself either a hater or a fanboy, just a customer. If I was the former, then just uninstall the game and go away. Most of us...

Newcastle to Edinburgh with a Deltic would hit my sweet spot…

A good idea and it would help offset any excuse DTG might put forward for not reviving steam, on the basis it’s too complex for some users.

The spur at Morecambe on the TSC version of the Shap route is to Heysham. I believe JT left it out as by the time the route is set, the section...

Maintalbahn is currently my go to route. Although the 642 has its faults and not as good as the one in Zusi 3 (which I’ve just been driving), it’s...

SimRail tends to spring up in numbers when they release something new like the EN57 EMU or the ET22 freight loco. But you only have to look at...

Got it working. just use Insert and Home to operate the rotary switch. Nice little train to operate in Zusi. It does sound different to the TSW...

This. I mean the Class 20 is good and somewhat under utilised in the game, but really this is just another reskin pack when the UK freight side of...

Technically any AI trains should be restricted to the maximum speed of the slowest vehicle in the consist, but whether the game enforces that is...

The route descriptions are usually quite clear about what extent you’re getting. Of course you will see trains going to off route destinations,...

You are, of course, welcome to your opinion as I am to mine!

If the core is not getting an update, then there’s a good chance this generic inter urban route will suffer from the same issues as everything...

I need to find a 642 in Zusi 3 and compare the sounds. Though I am struggling with some of the more modern units in that game as you seem to need...

I have been spending a bit of time on the Obereruhrtalbahn in Zusi (and Marschbahn), both are great routes. Seems to me the mindset at DTG is to...

Actually really getting into this. Getting round the save game either by using F4 to time skip then jumping to my previous train. Or the 3rd party...

No sign of Zusi 3 in that, though. However TSW5 could and should be doing much better. Even if you factor in the Epic and console players and...

Steam is dead, unless of course it's a blue liveried toy loco that looks vaguely like an E2 tank engine!

Think it’s always been a bit twitchy like that. Wait until you try the brakes and a minimal air reduction stops it on a dime.

I'm not Australian. I'm a Pommie originally from Gateshead!

Well for starters this ought to be in Suggestions where it has cropped up from time to time, with a discussion just recently you could have joined...

Well yes the traction fans are audible, but on the first clip the track and bogie sounds are equally present. On the second clip although the fan...

I know that! :) Just that, same as on the 103 and 111 in TSW it completely dominates the sound field. Zusi seems more balanced so you can actually...

Another go yesterday evening with a 110. Very nice and sounds much better balanced than the TSW version which just has the incessant fan noise you...

First class suggestion. Of course it would require a recommitment to steam traction from DTG which seems unlikely at present. Yes it could be done...

It would be a nice scenic run and could give a home to a rebranded Class 153 from the Cardiff route (when it appears) or earlier Class 108 DMU if...

I found resuming a save game with the AWS enabled was causing issues, might have mentioned it way back in the thread. I now tend to leave it off,...

Maybe one for a sale, then. If Mittenwald hadn't been coming out I might have been more tempted but that and the price plus no pre order discount...

Just fired it up for another run on the Lubeck line. My Lords, this thing is a beast. Probably the best German loco and one of the best diesels...

Some would say I never had any to start with!

A DTG Marches route likely to be Cardiff (or Newport) to Hereford, or Hereford to Shrewsbury. An outside possibility to use the 150 and 153 could...

I used to do that with Lego, when I were a wee nipper back in the 60's. Used normal marbles as passengers. The "big" marbles were the driver and...

It would be a bit of a waste of the 150 and 153 if we didn’t but OTOH we got the Class 700 a while back and everyone was expecting we would get...

Could be if they decided to extend the scope beyond the initial concept. I mean for crying out loud it should at least go to Barry Island! The...

That sounds more like it. AFAIR they didn’t even put the yellow boxes on the ground or associated feed equipment on the OHLE.

Bit of a bump. Well the Class 187 was always flawed and the chances of anything getting fixed let alone added as you suggest, at this point in...

There are certainly some fantastic scenic routes in the Czech Republic (and Slovakia) and who wouldn’t want to drive an unsilenced “Grumpy” (749)...

Can DTG even get a CP licence or permissions, though? Telling that the only Canadian route we got was based around CN. Sadly this probably falls...

One word answer - Rivet. On Edinburgh to Glasgow they are there but none operational which is probably just as well, because the advance warning...

Bit of a bump, but anyone have a suspicion this might be the San Bernardino of 2025, i.e. turn into the TSW6 UK route?

I see them becoming more of a publisher than a developer. Even in TSW things in house are scaled back. Little to no news on core fixes. Another...

As noted previously though, DTG have put any further US freight routes on hiatus.

The neutral sections on Shap definitely work. Unless DTG or Rivet have gone back and added them with a silent patch, weren’t they omitted on WCMLS?

Just tinfoil sombrero but I think Focus have been pulling more than a few strings to bring DTG and their train games in line with what they want....

Had a go on that last night and while the terrain is a bit flat, yes it’s a nice route at least the section I ran driving one of the car ferry...

Essentially a glorified reskin pack with a few scenarios or timetable runs added to existing routes. Accept a new developer needs to cut their...

The main outstanding issue with WCMLS is the shonky Rivetness. But this is equally apparent from their other routes, the tunnels on EtoG have the...

If (and it’s a big if), DTG did dust off steam traction then for the UK something GWR (or BR Western) with the Riviera Line from Exeter to...

It’s one of the oldest routes in the game. Accept the fact DTG are not going to touch it. Ever. Again.

Fired it up last night and had quite a pleasant trip along the Obereruhrtalbahn. Discussed elsewhere about DTG doing a secondary main line German...

I put a question in the Roadmap Q&A whether the love in with TTTE will signify a return to more serious steam content but expect it was ignored;...
