Not entirely, I don't think. Focus was only ever the publisher for FS; it was Giants' IP and they got to call the shots- and eventually decided...
Yes, but remember, Matt isn't the boss.
Ach, du lieber! :mad:
I am loving this route, but I thought I would point out some conscious design decisions by JT which they might consider avoiding in future routes:...
While this is true, dev time is a costed resource that can't be "spent" without limit. Ultimately, the product has to make more money that is...
It ain't that easy at home either- that's why the questionable 700 audio, reprocessed from a 485 that itself wasn't that great. It's not just...
If it wasn't multiplayer, sign me up.
A very opposite take from the American, where even in the 1800s the effort was made to provide the most forward illumination possible with...
Not really. DTG just elected to include content that was cut out at release. Besides, neither of these is an "Extension DLC" in the meaning of...
The control systems for main power are massive; anything that manipulates 15 kV AC power is beastly.
It's no accident that Dresden-Riesa, BML and SEHS+ are some of the highest-rated routes in here
Were not. New trains like the Azuma (especially of foreign make) do have real headlights.
Well, not exactly. What it really means is that "our accountants are going to spread the cost across a 12-month declining balance for bookkeeping...
Ruhr-Sieg Nord is explicitly half a route, says so right on the tin, and still considered one of the best in TSW (if a little short by modern...
Just Trains is even smaller than Rivet
A very good point. I'm not entirely uneducated or ill-traveled, but before TSW there were probably 4 or 5 towns in Switzerland I could name, and...
Maybe they could second-party Bossman or Victory to overhaul the steam physics?
Thanks!
I don't know what key I hit by accident, but the top-leftdisplay is vanished and I can't get it back. The track monitor is still where it should...
On US trains there is the "three step dance"- full independent brake, reverser to neutral and handle removed, generator field off, which will...
3 was not free.
Then perhaps the success of Blackpool will be a wakeup call: what sells are well-made routes with attention to detail and lots of variety. SoS and...
Correct. Under most circumstances you would run at line speed (or Zs3 speed) up to 100 and just ignore anything above that. Pulling containers or...
If you want to familiarize yourself with US helmets-and-shoulderpads football, you could do worse than to get Madden and play in Coach mode via...
Just wondering what the good and bad things are about this game. The screenshots look nice, the trains and routes are real, and there is an editor.
There are up to three potential speed limits in effect, and the lowest of the three always controls. There is the line speed, true, and if it is...
Probably a goof by the British devs- the UK still has switches ("points") like that.
I agree completely; the steam chest is the beating heart of the engine, which the stomach and intestines merely serve to keep going.
If DTG doesn't think they can sell a new freight route, why would they spend money upgrading old freight routes and giving them away?
If you are using max brakes, you are definitely misjudging it. Brake earlier and gentler! I rarely have to go beyond B2 on a British passenger...
Certainly not helped by the dumb "wait one minute" instruction. If I have two nits to pick with this otherwise exemplary route, it is that, and...
Importing your TSW3 .ini settings won't cause a crash, but I think you'll be disappointed with the results because a lot of the core has been...
Based on the preview vids I think they will pull this off, indeed largely already have when it comes to core programming (seriously, making sure...
Yet the very, very small Giraffe Lab has done precisely that with Railroader. The RR names are fictional (but not the reporting marks), so there...
Yes, that's the way RL passenger services operate.
DTG should think long and hard about hitting a dubious player base with another annual paid update, which starts to look suspiciously like a...
I don't know about the UK, but in the US each signal box reported trains by telegraph, and later by telephone, as they passed. By the 1950s, even...
[MEDIA] Lots of inspired sound work as well.
Because driving an HST at 25 mph for an hour would be soooo much fun
Not a bad set of them: commuter (LIRR), heavy freight (SPG), combined regional passenger and light freight (MSB), and combined HST and...
It appears the detail of their steam simulation is absolutely fantastic [MEDIA] But I agree if it's online multiplayer, count me out
Isn't "hristm" an obscenity in Manx?
[MEDIA] Visuals look GORGEOUS. And the steam physics are INSANE (alternating left-right chuffs? Residual steam chest pressure? Condensation?)
In Britain, angle up or down means the same thing. Originally all lines in Britain used lower-quadrant signals, but these were gradually...
I would still say TSW 2.5 a/k/a Rush Hour; it really counts more than 3 as a "new" iteration, given the upgrade to a new engine version. I think...
Pending a statement from Matt or another staffer, I would venture that the culprit is DLC Manager. The old way, you effectively loaded all the...
There won't be any signal or anything to acknowledge at a Geschwindigkeitsüberwachung. You should simply be already slowing down for the 30 up...
Mainz-Frankfurt is very dull. The point of the route is the actual Rhine gorge.
Will this be 2, 3 or 4 cars, or a mix of them?
There are speed check magnets at Gmunden that make sure you are decelerating fast enough fir the upcoming 30 speed restriction
Separate names with a comma.
