Most who argue against it being simulator say so because they want it to be much more realistic, and thus become a sim by their definition. I...
$20 at the minimum for one DLC isn't a "cheapass price" like you think it is, that's the cost of most games season passes. Even if we're just...
Most likely a DB BR 52, which is a very well known and common German steam locomotive. So common in fact that if you asked a German to draw a...
I have no clue what route it will be, but I'm gonna say that something close to Riviera or Somerset in length is likely. I don't see them doing...
We've heard DTG mention more than once that even variants of existing locos are pretty much the same as new stock in terms of resources. They're...
True, but lets be honest, with how long its been since TSW launch and all this talk from DTG about how much steam needs to be improved they really...
If DTG can publish the FGW livery at all it could just be added to the GWR route, with no need for the creator club.
People find ETS2 relaxing, and honestly you have to pay more attention with that than any of the locos in TSW2, besides maybe the German units...
So you'd much rather see people complain about route they haven't played? Well ok... I hate LIRR, it's the worst route I've never played, sure...
No reason to think that any routes in the immediate future will have any special support though, after all, Spirit of Steam's not happening until...
The Acela's a shoe-in for sure, but otherwise I wouldn't expect much more tilting trains beyond that within the next year. Keep in mind we've got...
It really doesn't seem like travel time factors into their decisions, I've never heard anyone ever say on stream it's a factor. In fact there was...
I know of and have the 1975 version off the workshop, but I've never heard of a steam era version of the route, do you know what it's called and...
The big problem I have with the version in TS Classic is that operationally it seems limited with the lack of decent sized yards along the line,...
While that would be cool, there's exactly a snowman's chance in hell that them, or anyone else for that matter, would offer anything of the sort...
Even addon makers who aim for extremely high detail like PMDG have ways for newer players to get in the sky quickly at this point. Suggesting the...
You say that like that was a issue I was specifically raising, but all I talked about was the timetables and scenario side of things. I didn't...
The preserved crew have made new and reworked timetables, and they're free updates, it's hardly unreasonable to think they could do that again...
That's horrible logic, you shouldn't paywall something just because a user's system can't handle, least you want your graphics settings become a...
My understanding's that the way MSFS and X-Plane do flight models are different, but ultimately they pretty much accomplish the same end goal, and...
To me the take away from that is that swapping out routes every year or two adds a lot of unneeded junk that could be tossed out if we just...
The way Journey Mode's done doesn't have that random factor you mention though. You have a list you pick from whatever you want to do on the...
I always use the DLC folder and they work just fine, and that's what I tend to see recommended in most readmes. They could work fine if you put...
By your logic so is trucking, that used packaging job and that milk job you took with your truck aren't nessicary related to each other. However...
You can fix a hundred small issues in the time it takes to fix one big one. Fact is it really wouldn't be hard to have a option in the menu to...
It's also not realistic to have a full arsenal of aircraft and trains you can just pick from out the gate and go anywhere in the world. In that...
Really outside of LGV and part of SEHS I don't really think the amount of detail changes much. Unless you're going at 100+ you can still get a...
It wouldn't give them more flexibility, in fact it would probably do the opposite thing, having the roadmaps gives them a free space that they can...
Using a line chart is a pretty weird choice, I would've used a bar chart instead. Also it's kind of hard to tell which dots belong to which...
Come on man, it's called figure of speech, of course it's not literally a one hundred percent accurate loco, nothing can be. It's just far simpler...
OP has a point, but his image does a real poor job illustrating it, here's some pictures off of Wikipedia that show it in a far better light....
You say that like route developers would need to build everything, in reality they could use assets from other routes to help build the bulk of...
No it's not, they've said on stream they don't do stuff they haven't confirmed the licenses for. Any stock issues are gonna be purely down to...
I don't disagree with that, having one tutorial for each new loco is fine, but then there's stuff like the introductions, no reason why we need a...
DTG has never done a route for a anniversary, Amtrak's the only example I'm really aware of, and that only got a few liveries, that's it. With DTG...
Before ETS2 blew up truck simulation was very niche, certainly would say more so than Train Simulator from personal experience. When I got in...
Isn't the route considered kind of lame though if you're getting it for the commuter traffic? I'm pretty certain was tons of complaints about...
One of the bigger changes talked about of late with the preserved collection was the MP36 being added to Oakville. Has anything similar been done...
So your solution to that problem is to spend time and resources making a tutorial route that would take away resources from other update and DLC?...
There's no reason you'd need to make a dedicated route for tutorials or hosting the DLC locos at, you could just use one of the included routes...
It's honestly kind of odd they haven't brought the GP40-2 back yet, it could fit on many different US routes. You could make it as a DLC for Sand...
If there was as heavily of a leaning toward modern locos as TSW you wouldn't see model railroad manufacturers be making anywhere near the number...
DTG have also made references to Beatles songs, that didn't mean they were adding in Ringo Starr to train sim though. I would really not take some...
First off, it's not like Just Trains can't do the same the same thing. Second, Skyhook also did a lot of second party work, yet that didn't help...
Not true, the old NEC, GP40-2, and SW1000 + Cab Car are still missing, not that anyone cares that much about them, but it's still worth noting.
Honestly I kind of wonder why it took so long for them to get on board? The flight side of things were one of the few third party devs to sell...
The only real issue with the Class 20 is that it only adds in three brand new services, which does slightly suck. But honestly I think that...
A number of the high speed trains in TSW only make one or two stops, the HST on Great Western Express and the ICE 3 on Köln - Aachen come to mind...
It is annoying to see people rant and rave when they clearly don't know what they're talking about for sure. But the best thing to do is ignore...
Honestly I would've thought that sign would've been one of the first landmarks added in, as that has to be one of the easiest landmarks to model,...
Separate names with a comma.
