Although weather in scenarios is scripted, just like always, what that means is that the starting conditions are set- but dynamic weather is...

I’ve definitely heard them mulititoot when blowing through Petersburg (not a stop for most ECML Amtraks)

SPG was very well crafted, and comes with three locos in six liveries plus a bevy of freight cars. Its weakness is that is still just an A to B,...

I think they read the forums to gauge opinion, which is why they exist at all; but they don't use them for statistical analysis, because they...

Matt has said many, many times that they are well aware the participants in these forums are only a small slice of their playerbase. DTG have...

Just wait for the mob riots after it's over

Because real-life driver's DON'T get to decide where to go. They are governed by the timetable. TSW has never claimed to be a railroad-management...

Which is kind of backwards, isn't it? I mean, this many years after the buyout I woiuld expect traffic red ones to far outnumber maroon by now.

Well, there is also the DB Schenker

Broadly speaking, ever since the start of videogaming back in the arcade era, there have basically been six kinds, in the mainstream: games where...

I'm not impatient for US content so much as I am for good US content. Haven't seen that since Clinchfield and Boston (and even they had issues on...

In my yard, the damn oaks ration out their leaves all autumn and winter, so there is never a weekend without raking until spring.. Whay can't...

Especially with a 20 or 09- they simply can't make it up the hills at anything over a crawl.

Try to take a non-IC passenger train anywhere on DB that isn't either an MU or loco + Dostos. Go ahead, I'll wait.

There was a great mod which fixed that, yet another victim of the TSW4 Bonfire of the Mods.

I agree. This is nitpicking. Compared to the serious issues Arosa had (startup lurch, borked braking in the launch version, poor mountains) or...

Those mountains are a HUGE improvement on Arosa.

Just discovered I still had this on my phone: [ATTACH]

Let's see if they avail themselves of the opportunity. Linke Rheinstrecke was such an opportunity- one which was not seized.

No- cajon in Spanish means "box," but in geography refers to a basin enclosed by mountains. (That's right, a man's cojones are his little "boxes")

SEHS is simply too empty. The timetable involves virtually none of the branchline traffic entering and exiting. BML's timetable still rules (esp....

I suspect the UK performance here may have something to do with TSW's heavily British player base.

Because they're pulling tiny little trains.

???

That's the safe approach, but a tad conservative. If you can see the next signal is green, go ahead and release. If there is no signal in the...

In fact, that's a DB regulation

Hmm. It could be that precisely because their territory is so intermixed, it's easy to send a foreign loco home, whereas a CSX in California is...

BNSF wasn't "difficult" because they didn't want to play ball; it was a hassle because in the course of the restructuring associated with the...

Varies contract by contract. Depends entirel;y on the deal the TOC is willing to make. It appears that some, like Deutsche Bahn, made a blanket...

I can't take that much pink, I'm not Matt

Rivet managed a DRS license.

At a guess, this is a big, ambitious project which is taking more time than anticipated. Not a Glossop or even a SH.

I don't see it that way. Rather you buy the Amtrak once for $15, and it layers into everything from Sand Patch forward (where appropriate to RL)....

WSR is getting a scenery facelift and a steam timetable. LIRR is such a godawful mess it would have to be torn down and entirely rebuilt.

Not at present. However, when DTG improves their steam pysics (yes, I said when, not if), that upgrade will come to 4, not 3.

A matter of taste- personally I want to see my gauges and controls; sky and treetops aren't so important.

You could make use of the "medium" and "bright" settings. Not strictly accurate to RL, but at least both day and night would be covered.

Since you have become a light guru, is there anything you can do about US headlights? They are uniformly too dim (in some cases a complete joke)....

I don't think that's really the case, so much as that doing US passenger means negotiating a license with a local/regional commuter line, and that...

Foreign power? Yup, absolutely. Most especially in areas where two RRs operate in close proximity, like southern California. Heck, BNSF and UP...

While taking onboard DTG's legitimate interest in fighting piracy, there are much better/less obnoxious/less performance-killing DRM systems than...

Doesn't make sense to spend shedloads of money just to get "the community to shut up." DTG have much practice ignoring community shouting (from...

Query- is the default setup on the 66 with Passenger brake timing? It usually is on other 66s, and you totally want to be in Goods with such a...

The abstentions are interesting: 40 votes as of this writing have been cast for Clinchfield/Harlem, compared to 38 for Boston/Cajon and 36 in the...

While true, any of the DB stable can sub in now, including much improved versions of the 143 and 185, not to mention the 155, Vectron, G6 etc....

That is an imputation which rises to near-actionable. Besides, if that were DTG;s intent, why bother with the editor at all? It was a dead...

Were these pairings by random draw?

These results seem to support my contention that DTG reached a peak at the time of Rush Hour: Dresen-Riesa, London-Brighton and NEC Boston all...

<At this point insert old farts grumbling about how a pint used to be 60p>

When ST brings out the 104, I hope they remember a little detail about 1st-gen DMUs until ca. 1980- they didn;t have tail lights, Just a pair of...
