Loads of scope for an Australian route, many sections of the NSW Main Line such as Moos Vale to Goulburn with branches would be a good place to...
Semmering gone on the back burner for now as it turned out I could pick up Greece for £7.99 courtesy of the Balkan bundle. So ETS2 having a...
Wonder if Thomas will get his own “junior” sub forum once the content goes live? (Whenever that might actually be). For one thing, and maybe this...
It also seems impossible to have a reasonable debate on the issue, as I just found over on Facebook. White knights not prepared to accept there...
Flogging a dead horse comes to mind…
Don’t even think to post anything remotely negative over on the TSW Facebook page, as the white knights are out in force over there…
It will be unrealistic though if it uses toy train physics. It’s just DTG being cheap and cutting corners, rather than going to the trouble of...
True.
Class 26 would be a Day One purchase for me. Problem is, whoever makes up could be struggling for a route to base it on. Western Lines Of...
All the more reason why it should get its own custom fictional route and not be given house space on one of the real world ones.
Jon Voight in Runaway Train. Well at least then we would get an Alaska route! Or Snowpiercer of course, I mean they have worked with Sean Bean in...
Strange thing is, as a youngster I don’t really remember being made aware of Thomas. Ivor The Engine, yes. Noddy and the Toyland railway, yes....
As I said in another thread, Harry Potter could potentially give a GWR Hall for the real game. Also interesting how DTG would condense the...
It will be something like Trainz DCC mode where essentially you turn the controller as a model railway transformer with just a slight bit of inertia.
And the sound and physics seem pretty poor too. Oh and I got stuck on the tutorial. Came to an abrupt stand, no brakes applied. After a bit of...
A well done Russian route would be quite popular, particularly if it featured some of those noisy smoky diesels! And North Korea actually looks...
And a meaningless one at that!
Still not enough discount to tempt me at 30% off. Even with the current sale incentive, Steam DB still only shows 53 players in game. TSW5 - in...
The news of Thomas has created a weird alternative reality for some it seems!
Glad someone went through. Kind of proves how pointless the Suggestions area is really. Suspect I mentioned Yugoslavian steam narrow gauge more...
So… Is this worth getting in the sale or should I spend my Xmas Steam Wallet credit on the Greece DLC for ETS2?
↑ I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they restrict use of Thomas to just the WSR. ↑ The characters can be driven on any route Add-on using Free...
No but I might dust off plans to convert the Isle Of Arran to Sodor in Trainz. And thinking about it, didn’t Sodor also have a narrow gauge...
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they restrict use of Thomas to just the WSR.
A bit like the existing steam physics in TSW then. :o Well certainly FS. But I seriously doubt we will either see a “real” E2 in the game or any...
Don’t think many people actually mind Thomas. It’s the way the DTG hype engine went into overdrive when they could see people were hoping for a...
Probably dreaming about Thomas The B….y Tank Engine…
I don’t generally suffer but the Pacer or indeed any trains in TSW with the new effects can induce a slight touch of nausea.
The Isle Of Sodor is roughly the size of the Isle Of Arran off the coast of Scotland. Well within the route building resources of DTG to put...
Also hope they check the passenger spawning on WSR. Mummy and Daddy are not going to be pleased when little Jimmy comes off the console or PC...
This really. I’m not in the slightest bit anti Thomas, I mean I was the one who posted in Suggestions a couple of weeks ago about doing a...
Possibly then followed by the spin off game. I mean for all we know, they could already be working on the route and some more loco/stock assets....
As I just said in another thread, at least that might have gotten us grown ups a GWR Hall loco in its proper guise, to play with.
At least if they had done Hogwarts, we might have got a Hall Class GWR steam loco in its undisguised shape...
Think you misunderstand my intention with my statement and why I made use of the word "if". As I have already posted in several places I don't...
And don't you need a credit card ID to get on those types of sites these days?! :)
Joint tie between the JT 86 and Mittenwald. Whatever your views on Thomas, that should not have been it. Definitely the apocryphal lump of coal.
As others have said, a standalone spin off game using the TSW/UE4 engine with the Isle Of Sodor fully represented would have been the way to go...
Think this also sums up the situation nicely... [ATTACH] I'm off to play SimRail for a bit...
Who would have thought at the time, eh?! So basically, the best of the reveals was actually in the first week, with sitting firmly at the top the...
Holiday Express was a bit of fun and it was specifically marketed for Christmas and with it's own fantasy route. I didn't buy it, but a concept...
This. Plus the fact dev time has been poured into this by staff who *do* have the skill to fix up existing routes and rolling stock that have...
No. If they had done a scale size and geographically correct Isle Of Sodor with the full railway network then that would have piqued my interest....
Said my piece(s) in the official reveal thread but tl:dr If the money from this gets invested back in the core product for the 99.9% of us trying...
In the immortal words of one of the characters from the 1983 movie, The Thing, "I'm feeling better now, I really want to come back in." (To TSC...
Actually having read the article and the rest of the forum responses, there is a new loco but the real Thomas is based on a Southern Railway E2,...
Er... Time for a serious rethink on that one!
Oh. Dear. Although it was mooted in the speculation thread, I didn’t for one minute think it a real possibility. Well for the positives first....
Despite my adamancy it’s not content related, I suppose it could be either the Big Boy or the GTEL gas turbine.
That’s not going to be easy in a game engine which references real world geography.
