I think people need to remember that this is not a suggestion for Central London but very much in the suburbs... Would include links with...
left and right arrow keys move between the in and near cab views which can include various screens or "head out the window" views
Doesn't this basically kill the whole argumement of merging routes? GWE is a few years old, but in a few years so will BML be, so then we're...
They are... The ticket isn't all that goes into paying for trains so you need to look at the wider picture German income and other taxes are much...
When I did playtest for DTG (back in the TSW days) I suggested something akin to the license mode of Gran Turismo where you start out basic, build...
I don't think "abandoning TSC" means removing it from people's computers so the players wouldn't be too affected, nor should DTG remove it from...
I think people's thoughts is generally "Well, both games involve trains so people should be able to dev both, right?"
Exactly... It's a different software on a different platform (DX rather than UE) so I don't see any reason for them to stop working on it completely
Not quite the same... would be like going back five years and waiting whilst everyone learns all over again
Mine is first initial and surname...
What possibilities? People not used to programming in the language or using the tools used in TSW suddenly being plunged into using them? Your...
I don't think it's that at all, companies will produce for whatever software market they wish and I don't see any reason why they'd stop producing...
Don't think I've once mentioned passenger perceptions of value, and to be honest most people wouldn't know "value" if it kicked them repeatedly,...
Isn't this true of most successful (formerly) British companies? I can't think of one major industry in the UK which isn't owned by some...
I would say that they ALSO develop for TSW rather than moving to it. AP definitely are still producing for TSC as are the others.
I think as usual the "main thrust" of the post was done in the first two or three pages. The rest turns into a ramble :)
Two Alan Thomsons... this one runs Thomson Intreractive (who built the Trent Valley Line in TSC) The other Alan runs Alan Thomson Sim which is a...
Yep, been a long while since I've looked forward to a stream from DTG
Often hard to read irony on a flat text medium, and didn't know whether people knew who Alan Thomson was I'm sure if DTG or a second party did...
Because it's being made by a third party, and they decide what they're developing for.
Anyone who drives or uses busses in the UK benefits from rail subsidy. One type of transport doesn't exist in a vacuum. All those people on trains...
I don't think they'd be "swimming" any more or less than now. Maybe they'd have a few more people who would play past 1000 hours, but I doubt it...
Then you seem to miss out part of the issue of government funded bodies. Say what you like about private enterprise but they do tend to run on...
Then we wouldn't have a game. You comment seems to be based on the premise that DTG having less money means they would produce a better product....
£2160... The "All line rover" ticket is £540 a week for adults, and is restricted to out of peak times only (and only on network rail so no LUL,...
There are some on here who if I cared that much about a game I would be seeking psychiatric help / strong medication...
I was mainly responding to "it would be too difficult to input for each route", but if based on the train (ie the train should know it's VMAX and...
Not sure why they'd have to. The track speed is set as part of the track settings, ie it's data, so this could be dynamically written at game load...
This is one of the things I hope they get to in a fix sometime. The HUD shows the line speed rather than the speed someone should be driving at...
No 313 on my version of GWE If you have mode on your system then it's likely that rather than the vanilla game.
I didn't say it was a success or failure, I would say that I don't think that BR in any form could have done better for the most part without the...
Lest we forget Labour were in power for a large chunk of time during privitisation and didn't do anything to bring any of it back into government...
Ah, then the chaos began on the release date of TSW2, not last year
Besides the cracking issue (which is likely a design flaw) I can't say I've seen too many 80x broken down or being towed into depot having burned...
Recording is about 1/4 of the work to get sounds working. They can get sounds from AP and still not have a decent output...
Yeah, because they never failed did they?
You brought up raisin bread, and the correlation would be a bakery that doesn't do that (what you call staple, but not true in the UK where DTG...
Totally incorrect. I suggest you look further back and see when "chaos" began with regards to DTG and it began way before TSW (of any kind) was a...
I would say it's an excellent bit of commercialism. "I don't know how to make something, but I'll do a half baked job of it because you've asked...
It's the auto load journey function on the settings menu. Turn that off and it all goes away
Whereas I see a steam train and think "Nice steam train". I have seen the Flying Scotsman twice in the last year (York and Canterbury) and yeah I...
I think when people talk about "interesting" what they mean is varied, or having a specific means of working. Someone the other day said they...
I have not used that reference... I don't think new units are "plastic" or any worse than old units. If anything many of the new units will...
Not sure what difference that makes but OK.
If I go to a bakery and they don't do raisin bread surely it would also be possible for them to point you to someone else local who does And the...
Why DTG? Why not the users or the companies at the "other end"? Lumping it all on DTG makes DTG responsible in the end, and that just causes...
Yeah, the rest just aren't as comfortable (or weren't back then anyway). The 158 is my favourite MU I've been on
I know you love a claggy loco behind you. Personally prefer the relative refinement of an Alphaline... (Used to work on them as a trolley dolly in...
I'm only interested in UK trains and UK routes so basically your suggestion would take away from the experience for me. I have literally stopped...
158s are regional services and haven't really run into London except for the Waterloo service mentioned above (which no longer operates) I would...
