So do I. I think the RD is eminently suited to the 101, makes it fun to drive.
A fair analysis except that, like some other posters, you're missing the medium haul Amtrak services that are found in a number of areas, notably...
Speaking for myself, if the E-G had come with a 170 and, perhaps, a Class 37 and been set just a few years ago, I would likely have snapped it up...
The problem with the modern trains in all three TSW countries is that they are too easy to drive and don't ask anything of the player. They are "...
Interesting analysis. You've managed to touch on some very prescient aspects of the game which come up frequently on the forums. Optimization is...
Crazier thing is all those places you mention are more than a thousand miles away. But I get your point.
Yes, I was just thinking that this morning as I was shoveling snow around the house for about the 50th year running. I could have spent my life...
It's annoying yes, but that's all it is. Your anger is misplaced. I'm sure DTG doesn't want this to continue and will solve it asap. A little...
I believe it's Gary and a couple of others. They started with scenario packs and recently have produced entire routes. Their work is top notch in...
Remarkable work. I don't do mods usually, but if I ever get this route I think I would have to use these. You have to question why the signal...
I think that's right. Quite a few one or two person developers have made routes and locos for TSC, because the editors and development tools are...
Well, how many times do you want to make the same run? Time of day and weather variants would be enough for many players. Baltimore - Washington...
Well, you've joined the other ill- informed forum members who don't know diddly- squat about Amtrak and its activities. Amtrak is a lot more than...
Curiously, Raildriver also has a built-in " rumble " speaker which actually works, but I never use it because it requires a separate electrical...
I agree. In that sense BML, BCC and E to G feel like full " journeys " . It's always more satisfying to drive a complete route. Much as I enjoy...
Yes, I think many of us thought BML was the start of a new era in TSW. But then, Rush Hour passengers never arrived and, except for BPE, haven't...
Agree wholeheartedly. Reading between the lines and based on what we've actually seen, my impression is that DTG itself is unlikely to produce an...
Really? And how many TSW players from around the world have the intimate knowledge of this train to be able to notice either of these details?...
Dear Developer: At this point in time, 5 years into the game's development, I think, as players and consumers, we have the right to expect a...
I didn't notice this amount of scorn heaped on those who complained that the internal PIS on the 385 has the " wrong font ", or is that a real...
" If you take care of the small things, the big things take care of themselves. " - Emily Dickinson. Meaning: Attention to detail is an...
You know people complain about the color of the ballast, the accuracy of station lights, the height of the grass, the number of trees, missing...
This is one heck of a thread - terrific reading!
I disagree. The original forums were full of discussions about problems and bugs. And, anyway, not all problems are technical, many are simply...
Very, very briefly at the end of the stream. Not enough to judge how effective it is. But, just like Birmingham, it didn't give the impression of...
Most of the electrical connections that would transmit power from the catenary to the traction motors seem to be missing. I mean I might not have...
I just watched the stream, skipped around some because I wasn't seeing anything particularly riveting. The route and the train look well- modeled,...
Good for you londonmidland, but there's something seriously wrong and embarrassing when it's necessary for you to correct developer shortcomings...
Look at it this way. PS players will be able to take advantage of the reviews from PC and XBOX users before they hit the buy button. I'm on PC but...
Castles in the air
Well, comparing the driver's view from a steam engine to that of a modern emu is, quite frankly, preposterous. Steam engines were used in an era...
I'm willing to give Rivet all the credit they deserve for Edinburgh- Glasgow, depending on the preview stream and forum reviews, but, in the end,...
I initially went with TSW3 simply to play Cajon Pass, and I'm glad I did. Otherwise there really is very little reason to " upgrade " unless you...
Agreed. Baltimore- DC is the dullest part of the NEC with a handful of Amtrak services and few intermediate stops. Without MARC, the route would...
Is that why so many boys ( and girls ) want to be engine drivers when they grow up. ;) ( At least that was true of my generation ).
New York to New Haven is about 80 miles, probably a little too long for the current TSW parameter, though Cajon is 85, but that's a rural diesel...
Sometimes you don't have to wait long for a decent sale. For example, BCC was released on 11/17 and was 25% discounted when I bought it on 12/22.
I don't have an opinion on the quality of this upcoming dlc. Nobody really knows how it will turn out, at least until we see a stream ( which I...
I never touch journey mode, too programmed for my taste. I start by doing all the scenarios, then I go through the services randomly, choosing...
The 3090ti is the real power hog. It's using about 450 of those 750 watts, which doesn't leave much for the rest of your hardware. As you've...
Yes, the route should have been set back in the period when the Class170 was ruling the roost. That would have opened up the possibility of more...
Yes, I'm not having any game play issues with TSW, just a bunch of minor annoyances. However, I appreciate that others have real problems,...
One of the main reasons I love driving the 101 is that it works so well with the Raildriver.
My goodness, that is the narrowest, smallest aperture I've ever seen in a cab.
I have an R12, so I know how tight the case is for these machines. I opted for liquid cooling, but even then I can hear the fan(s) when playing...
On reflection ( pun intended ), I don't think that the couple of minutes of night lighting discussion on the stream last week offer much hope for...
Well then, maybe if Rivet had made Harlem we would have gotten Yankee Stadium! :D
" Most people " ? Have you polled the membership? You're entitled to your own opinion, but that's all it is unless you have facts to prove...
Yes, I've found that on some routes you can be in a literally blinding snow storm, but switch to an external camera and it's hardly snowing at...
Well, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. However, from reading the forums for a while I think many players feel short- changed by...
