US: SPG, no US freight route has surpassed it yet. BPE is very good and NYT would be if the real timetable ever shows up. UK: TVL, NTP because,...
This poll, which is pointless anyway, belongs in off topic. Moderator?
Absolute nonsense. New York, Boston, Chicago, Washington DC, Philadelphia and other major metro areas all have extensive commuter rail. Just...
" Hiawatha " from Chicago to Milwaukee. Nearly 90 miles but only 5 stops/stations. Freight and commuter traffic can be layered in. Would require a...
Whatever that means. I always take what the CM's write on the forums at face value. I assume that that's what they want us to do. I'm not a...
To say that DTG did a 180 on the NYT timetable is not really a criticism. On the contrary it just indicates that they are quite willing to accede...
Many happy returns, MP!
Emu's, especially those with simple, combined throttle/brake "joysticks " and/or tiny apertures instead of full width windshields. My lawnmower is...
This is why AI is so dangerous. Stephen Hawking warned us a long time ago. If climate change doesn't get us, AI will. Driverless trains are just...
Well, none of those guys picked Boston, but it's one of my favorites. Just got done thrashing the Acela non-stop from Providence to South, mostly...
As long as their bean counters ( or Focus Entertainment's ) tell them it makes financial sense, I imagine.
Well, up until 18 months ago, I was playing on a PC I purchased in 2010. I suspect that many players have older PC's. Do you think they should...
You're either an apologist or splitting hairs. We all know they did a 180 on NYT.
Don't know about a whim but the save game, SEHS and NYT " turnarounds " provide some evidence that DTG will respond to widespread complaints on...
Obviously, the old and the newer beta testers are not posting much these days, and those that can't help themselves are being uber-careful with...
Hmm. 3 UK, 2 German and 1 NA, all less than 2 years old. Not very imaginative. I guess all the older ( and better ) routes are buried away in a...
If they dumped the cat ears and banned the word " cool " , I might start watching again. ;) Not!! :D.
How many phone calls is that? Must take forever!!
I just hope and pray that it doesn't become like the " BML passengers " and never gets implemented because of " performance issues ".
Yes, I agree with these sentiments. I can't help thinking that we've been somewhat cajoled into accepting shorter and emptier routes, fewer...
With all due respect, if you mean just the article then your poll is even more pointless. I imagine 90+% of forum members read at least the TLDR...
I've never been to the TC, so it's of no consequence, except to the extent that it might use resources ( memory? ) that could be employed...
I also generally pass on the Roadmap stream. All the important information is in the article and/ or ends up on the forum. Nowadays, the stream...
Yes, I'm having a hard time keeping my wallet zipped. So many temptations and nothing trainwise to buy. Couple of weeks 'til the next Roadmap....
Over here in the US, we'd use the terms " flat switching " and " hump switching ". Incidentally, after years of " flattening ", hump yards appear...
Yes, apparently all the major UK cities, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Manchester have been instructed to turn off all lights after dark.
Well, this is a family friendly forum! ;)
That's one example of a timely fix of a problem. And there are others, to be sure. But there are many more examples of issues that don't get...
What renovations and new objects would those be? Similar to the ones you found on Sand Patch?
Sounds like a long way off, but TSW requires patience as always. I'm hoping for Thanksgiving. Surely by then??
Interestingly, Metra will begin commuter service between Chicago and Rockford, IL in 2027, after upgrading the track and building some new...
True, but there are still plenty of short and medium distance Amtrak routes in the East, Southeast, Midwest and West Coast. Unfortunately, DTG...
Sometimes I think you post just to get attention, because some of them are downright batty. Are you really interested in driving trains? Because...
The drumbeat of apologism is equally tedious, but I read it anyway. Dismissing valid and constructive criticism as " tripe " is rather shallow,...
Passenger behavior is something that DTG has struggled with ever since the game was launched. Not for want of trying, I'm sure, but they don't...
Same here. I think there's a lot of us in that boat. Unfortunately, we'll just have to be patient, though, like yours, my PC, near top of the line...
There's a little irony in that.
I had my first run on this route yesterday. As with most DTG routes it's very well- modeled, with good stations, scenery and line side clutter, if...
It's more a testament to how effective cussing, fussing and stamping your collective foot can be. Me, I don't give a fig about medals,...
The most egregious example of passenger misbehavior for me is at Gatwick, where you arrive from Victoria or Brighton and no-one gets on or off the...
How about some new North American content for a change. And I'm not writing home about a couple of 3rd party repaints. For the longest time the...
Oh boy, I haven't seen this much vituperation since, let me see, oh yes they removed the save game. If you remember we yelled and screamed that...
Of course we have to wait for some solid information, but, at this point, I'm feeling a little underwhelmed, especially if that's an accurate...
Not much mention of Sand Patch Grade but, for me, it's still the flagship in terms of quality, lighting and rolling stock. It was the first and...
I think it's unfair to use the term " duds ". Maybe UK English is different, but in American English that would be a very pejorative and...
I'm playing this route on PC and I can honestly say that it's largely problem free, except for a couple of quirky speed limits ( one 90 mph in the...
Oh, I'll probably pop for this. My Steam wallet is kinda fat and it's only the price of a couple of macchiatos. Besides, I haven't bought...
Well, after reading the above, I feel quite privileged to sit in my soft, comfy, leathery Metra commuter seat, though there are some plastic flip-...
Yes, I remember how crestfallen we all felt when Microsoft cancelled MSTS2. Didn't know what would happen to train simming. Guess we have to...
That sounds very close to an official DTG statement, Antony. How about taking off your Ambassador's hat for a moment and telling us what you...
Separate names with a comma.
