My point is that we shouldn't have to buy the route to find out if it's possible to drive it at night. It should always be part of the preview...

I think I have driven enough routes at night to know which of these is the right answer.

It's fine to have an emotional response to something you're really touched by. But that response should be tempered by the facts. Looked at as a...

It is odd and, for me, irritating, this reluctance from the streamers to show any night driving. Not the first time they've omitted this feature...

I think that is exactly right. That's why I said somewhere else that it reminds me of Sand Patch, which DTG were able to take their time with. I...

Beautifully modeled scenery. Reminds me a little of the quality we had in Sand Patch Grade. It seems that it might be worth getting Mainz -...

For someone like me, who can devote perhaps 7-10 hours a week to the game, this is far too much complexity. I'd be happy if the major issues,...

At least in the past, this March sale was supposed to coincide with the " March Madness " basketball tournament, or the traditional " Spring Break...

Yes, I agree. We need to draw a distinction between the genuine flaw finders on the one hand and the bashers and " cheap shot artists " on the...

I'm also somewhat optimistic that the timetable will be addressed at some point. My reasoning is that DTG did a decent job with the route itself,...

Well posted. This is a question- for- the -stream thread. We're not looking for responses from other posters at this point, unless they work for...

Well, there are major and minor issues with pretty much every release. Most bugs are not game breakers, some are pretty much cosmetic. But we...

Nothing for me in the TSW sale, but I picked up TramSim for variety. Still waiting on Niddertalbahn and SD70ACe, but not on sale of course.

You can add 4) often inappropriately dressed for the season/weather

If it's another push and run emu, you can count me out, whoever makes it. This conveyor belt of modern UK traction is becoming tedious. And I'm...

Yes, Niddertalbahn will be my first German route in a long time. I think Dresden Riesa was the last. It's older, diesel and I'm curious about...

Wrong era for this route, but well modeled and fun to drive nonetheless.

Probably asking too much of a 3rd party developer at this point. Recent routes by Rivet and DTG could have included freight services but didn't....

Train audio has always been one of the most critical and contentious elements of train sims going back to MSTS, Railworks, TSC and TSW. I don't...

The number of players per minute, hour, day or month is less important than you think. The important numbers are sales. For instance, due to...

Full RD support is " sine qua non " for me with any route or loco. Pity because I want more steam, but, coupled with what else I'm reading, I...

Oh boy, is that the truth?!! Open discussion is fine in most threads, but when DTG calls for questions to be directed to the stream, the armchair...

As the route is mostly single track, how do the layered in locos fit and how do they make the route busier. I guess I'm asking if I really need to...

If I may say so, that's a bit of an overreaction. I simply disagreed with you about one particular service.

I think I'll remind people on this thread that we need to be talking about trains, in particular the updates to TSW2. There are some trolls on...

You Yes, I just made that run. There are a few AI trains here and there. But this is a morning rush period (7:30 - 8:00am.) There should be a...

By forum standards it's not all that bad! At least it's kind of phonetic.

Reportedly starts March 16th on Steam, runs through the 23rd.

Yes, it happens with the ACS64 also. Speed changes happen very suddenly sometimes, but, so far, I've managed to recover before the penalty brake...

I'll have to give that one a try. My experience so far is different, but some services may be better than others.

It sounds like you're walking it back a little, stujoy. But you still come across as an applicant for an Ambassadorship. And, is TSW3 that much...

It's a promise made repeatedly and a promise that should be kept. It's an ethical issue.

Yes, I've run through the scenarios and the first few ACS64 services, and it's been very quiet on the line. The route itself is quite...

Well, the fan in my car is fairly quiet, whether I have heating or cooling switched on. The windows are closed in either case. And as both are...

Perhaps we don't think that people need to be protected from themselves or their own stupidity. Almost every day, on my local news, there's a...

No-one will remember the cause of this disaster. What they will remember are all the " own goals " scored by the various agencies and other...

Well, if it's true that players prefer " their own era of trains ", that doesn't augur well for us older railfans. As time goes by, the audience...

NYT Service 130 Washington- NYP Stuck behind another ACS64 which is stuck at red light at Secaucus. Dispatcher says to wait, but after 15 min.,...

My own view is that recent routes like NYT and, possibly, the upcoming Rhine route are unfinished, not because they ran out of time for those...

This buy or not buy argument is not completely valid as long as there is effectively only one developer of train sim routes and locos. If I like...

Well, you obviously know quite a bit about North American rail. What is your source material? I'd like to refer back to it. Sounds interesting.

Don't forget that DTG has an effective monopoly in the train sim business. It's not as if some other company is offering these routes at a lower...

Ah, thanks, redrev1917. Now I know how to get an immediate response from DTG. Simply surreptitiously hide my question wrapped inside a discussion...

That's very simplistic. I'm sure that the quality of track varies on both continents. Consider that the United States alone has over 160,000 miles...

Is that so? I mean it might make sense in a way, I just haven't heard that from the horse's mouth. Do you have a source?

I do what Vern does. I put a few bucks into my Steam wallet every couple of weeks and that way I always have enough to buy what I want. But I'm...

That's it!! You hit the nail on the head, stujoy. Americans are such loudmouths that everything has to be at high volume.....train horns and...

I think you have to time stamp the train sim evolution. I have to chuckle when I think back to MSTS, but, at the time, in the early noughties, it...

Well, I have to say I'm quite enjoying driving the ACS64 and the Metroliner Cab Car on NYT. Haven't really gotten to the ALP46 yet. Yes, there...

The only interesting thing right now is the SD70ACe, especially as it comes with some different freight cars. Should flesh out the traffic volume...
