My hot takes: Starting this coming Tueday, make the railway the noisy, banging, clanking, rattling place it is in real life instead of the...

^^ This. DTG have plenty of US content in their back catalog. And they've been using it here and there. The HSP46 proves that they can still...

Thanks for that. As SierraOscar95 said, let's keep politics off the forum. We're all here for the same reason. Love of trains right? That doesn't...

Thanks.

For those of us unfamiliar with the " cucumber ", what is it exactly?

No-one is shutting anyone down. Indeed I've made suggestions about Metra routes myself from time to time and I would be the first one to raise a...

Yes, 38 years and counting ( my second rodeo ). I've walked away from many a potential argument ( not all, mind you ) and, apart from marriage, it...

It's time for the annual " defeat the filter " contest, in which contestants push the envelope as far as they can while avoiding the filter police...

The three things that would be totally unexpected are: Steam Freight A new country Outside chance: A fictional children's route.

Yes, for sure. But, as we've seen in the last few days, not all forum members are able to behave like adults.

But not publish it and share it with the rest of us.

That looks like my local commuter line. No wonder I spill my coffee almost every morning and my beer in the afternoon. They've been laying new...

Yes, when "The Racetrack " was released, the missing Metra logo was modded but that's not possible with TSW.

I know. That's why I wear a false moustache whenever I'm signed in.

I haven't a clue about what's coming on Tuesday, but, as far as the US route is concerned ( if there is one ), I fervently hope that it's not...

No Metra license so it's a non starter.

I have to ask: What does music have to do with train simulation? I hope I can turn it off as before.

Well, among the threads we have condescending ambassadors and a couple of people who are pretending they are " in the know " ( wink, wink ) but...

It's another " barber pole " decision. No-one asked for it, no-one wants it.

Oh dear, I think by that time I'll be too old to start over! :D

Yes, it's very prominent on my Android phone and Fire tablet. If it were small, colorless and alongside the other 3 icons in that area, I probably...

I only just noticed it. Now I can't ignore it. It's very big. How long has it been there?

I don't really think that's true. Most PC players would, I think, concede that, without console versions, TSW would most likely not exist in its...

Of course that's less than 40% of the real life number on the network. It needs some serious extensions.

Well personally I'm making my own rules about AI. If I see what I believe to be an AI generated post I will not respond to it and I will possibly...

Well, no-one's under any illusions, we all know what's going on in terms of Marketing 101, the early announcement and the hype. Most are just...

It's a minor miracle, though there's still a week to go. ;) I think that, with all the speculative threads, DTG is getting exactly what it wanted.

Well the next major Steam sale runs from September 29 through October 6. So what does DTG want players to empty their Steam wallets on - Steam...

Can you indeed? Then you must be telling tales out of school.

That's more than a little patronizing Antony. I've said this before, but people who know something they can't reveal would be better off keeping...

Given the inconsistency shown by my most recent purchases, the surprisingly good HSP46 pack and the Cardiff City network which to me compares...

Sorry, but, if it's anything like the same run in TSC, it's really dull and sleep inducing. Same for Baltimore - Washingtion, by the way. The...

All well and good but what we really need is some Amtrak diesel electric trainsets, P32-8/P42DC/SC44, maybe as a scenario pack over several routes.

Yes, it's been mentioned a few times. They slow down very rapidly when coasting. Have to coast with significant power I guess.

Yes, I eventually broke down and purchased Cardiff in the sale, not for the route itself but for the stock layering. I've driven a few services (...

If you mean the " adaptive eye " feature, I agree. Either make it toggleable or get rid of it altogether. It's so extreme sometimes, I have to...

So just pillow talk eh? ;) I'm popping some corn just in case. ;)

All indications are that you'll be disappointed. Couple of years ago, the same question was asked and the response was negative. Haven't heard...

I can't find a feedback thread for Birmingham Cross City, so I'm posting in here. Has there been a patch for this route which improves the...

British players will tell you that locos/trains don't need decent headlights because they're not meant to illuminate the track ahead. However,...

Well there's a big difference between doing something you are paid to do and doing something for fun and enjoyment There's lots of times in my...

I have bought all my pc's from Dell since about 2005. I configure them on the website, choosing my own components. One reason I do this is...

One of the major differences for me between the " bus stop " style emus/dmus and diesel electric locomotives is that the modern trains are so...

First thing I do when I sit in the cab of any loco or emu/dmu is to open both windows if possible. Everything about the railway is muted in TSW....

Oh I definitely disagree. These days gaming laptops can be excellent for gaming. I've tried a couple and have been very impressed. I'm seriously...

For large and terminal stations, the signal aspects and speed limits will slow you down gradually. For intermediate stations, 25mph when entering...

My current favorite is the HSP 46 on the MBTA. Sounds really beasty. Even the Cab Car sounds really accurate. On the other hand I've never much...

While I agree the forums can be a problem on the weekends, the last thing we need is a bunch of " trusties " lording it over the rest of us. A...

Creates an interesting conundrum in that the Fall Steam sale begins 9/29 so, if you're right, the two events may coincide. What will be in the...
