Chalk me up in favor of the new format. I never cared much what platform someone is posting from. It's all interesting.
A lot of people are getting very excited about the Scottish route, but there's a lot we don't know yet: How the train drives? Sounds? Any other...
Now that's one collectable even I could go for! Throw in some roast beef and it's a day one purchase.
JD mentioned the " power cut " thread as they were discussing night lighting in general. It's in the last 5-10 minutes of the Jan 12th Roadmap...
I had a bit of a chuckle towards the end of the last stream, when both hosts had to walk back the notion that " recent routes had pretty decent...
Horses for courses. There are quite a few players, including yours truly, who think that the Class 101 is fun to drive and would like more 1st and...
Oh, really, no kidding! Well thanks for that. ;) By the way, you completely missed my point.
I believe LIRR is currently remaindered at $8.99 on Steam. That should tell you something about its future.
My goodness it's January 13th!! A few more weeks!! How long does Christmas last in the UK?? :D
Will the elephant in the room once again be the night lighting ( or lack of it ). Perhaps Rivet could address that question with some screenshots...
If posters would simply proof read their posts before hitting the upload button......
Well, you have a point. But, apart from being made to a pretty high standard, GWE has a plethora of drivable trains and some involving game-...
Let's hope Waverley and Queen Street don't copy the emptiness of other major hubs and termini in the game, such as Glasgow Central and Birmingham...
If you're getting anywhere close to 30mph on those uphill grades, you're doing very well indeed. In real life, the average is around 15-18 mph.
Not from Scotland or the UK ( ooh, reminds me of a Lyle Lovett song). Anyway, I'm not sure why everyone is so excited for Edinburgh to Glasgow. I...
I agree. I did spend megabucks on a new PC a year ago because I was no longer enjoying TSW on my 7 year old machine. I looked enviously at the two...
Thanks, corrected.
The stretch from Baltimore to DC is just about the dullest part of the NEC, 35 miles, 40 minutes, straight as an arrow and sometimes one...
That " Bus" video looks very much like the night lighting we should be getting in TSW. Even the headlights have me drooling with envy. Anyone...
Well, I looked at some gaming laptops before I finally settled on a desktop last year and some of them had impressive components, like an I9 12900...
I would caution people not to let their expectations run too high. Remember that the standard these days is one new loco ( likely the Acela ) and...
Oh yes, I agree. I could have used it on numerous occasions. There is one, of course, but the emoji choices in the forum are severely limited.
Ah, let it go. No harm done and we don't need to police the forums, there are moderators who are paid to do that.;)
That's too simplistic and inaccurate. Out of Chicago, for instance, there are Amtrak routes used for business and by politicians ( to Milwaukee,...
There are a few things wrong with Cajon Pass. There are some scenery/ vegetation gaffs; the ballast/ track is amateurish in some stretches; the...
I think that's too hard and unfair to Amtrak. Apart from the NEC which competes well with air travel, Amtrak has a very different remit to the...
I agree. I and others pointed out this " model railway " look on sections of Cajon Pass when it was first released. And you are right that it...
What's so annoying and frustrating is that DTG know how to do night lighting. They proved that from the very beginning with SPG. And some routes...
The state of Missouri alone is about 125% the size of England and not much smaller than the UK as a whole and has probably many thousands of grade...
Well, let's skate over the " cherry picking " approach to thread responses for now. Of course we all "love " TSW. Otherwise why would we play it...
That's pretty much identical to my own rig, with the exception of the GPU ( RTX 3080 10 or 12 GB ). I get a consistent 60 fps (capped ) at 4k. You...
It may not be new but it isn't what most of us expected back when TSW launched. It didn't stop people complaining about the paucity of drivable...
Funny how we've all been " persuaded " that one new locomotive per route is now acceptable. For $40 a pop, each route should come with at least two.
My feeling is that DTG probably believe it's just a small minority of players who really care about seeing anything at night or want a realistic...
Well, I drove the service from New Street to Lichfield and back. Even though I was driving in pitch darkness, I was determined to finish the...
The countdown changes to yards shortly after it reaches 0.6 miles, which equals about 1000 yards. This is accurate. No need to be pedantic....
Right now it's a one-sided conversation. We want it, we discuss it, but DTG haven't talked about it. Unless and until it becomes a dialog, nothing...
I'm very leery of this excuse that some essential feature or scenery was omitted due to " running out of time ". It shouldn't happen with any...
While I would love to see Rush Hour passenger numbers on BML, HAR and more recent routes, it doesn't mean very much if their behavior is so odd....
You know, I think of Clinchfield in the same way as I think about several other US routes- OSD, BPE, HAR and SFJ. They are all unfinished in a...
Yes. A couple of us brought this up back in October, but it elicited no response from DTG.
I will usually pass on unbranded locos. The only ones I bought in TSC were quickly branded by a third party modder. I can't see running a CSX, UP...
:D
I think it must be very difficult to spawn vehicles in-game, both technically and artistically so I'm not overly critical. I tend not to look too...
The quality standards, features and night lighting on Sand Patch Grade have rarely, if ever, been equalled in the 5 years since. Meanwhile we are...
You're probably right. Before I bought BCC, I didn't know about the darkness. Nobody on the forum had mentioned it, so when I ran the first...
I agree 150%. I took a chance and bought BCC in the sale. First service I ran was early evening in December and the route was pitch dark except...
I guess this is the one thing that we can agree on. Which goes back to my original comment about spoiling an otherwise excellent route. Have a...
Bend it, shape it, parse it, slice and dice it anyway you want, my friend, ground beef in, ground beef out. The words " it's on the list to be...
MP said: Banking comm doesnt work unfortunately due to a misunderstanding between members of the team - its on the list to fix. (my emphasis)...
