If I ruled the world, I would change the name of this sub-forum to " General Discussion " rather than close it completely. There are and have...

In 2021, " Rush Hour " arrived with enormous fanfare. As it turned out, one of the three Rush Hour routes never got the passenger numbers promised...

I decided to run that service to check my performance. Leaving Victoria: 46-48 fps. Passing Battersea: 54-56 fps Leaving Clapham Jctn: 60 fps Held...

I find it amusing that the offending word is actually an American slang expression with several meanings, most of which are not really that vulgar...

Of the routes you don't have, OldVern, the one I would recommend is HSC, which I bought when it launched. I just recently started to run it and...

They certainly should. There's more than one route that could use improved signal visibility. I'm thinking specifically of Cajon Pass, but there...

Actually, I wasn't joking about the birds. They really should be in the game. Maybe they're hard to model. But yes, ambient wildlife is fine,...

No, it tells your story not the whole story. That may well be true, but that's not the same as players' experience on their home machines....

Just ran 1W02 to Brighton via Gatwick. Played with nary a stutter, very stable 60fps, Folks, I sympathise with those who have difficulty with BML...

OK, I surrender. Bring on the cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs, what have you. Oh and would you give all those cats a litter box,...

And what makes it difficult to analyze is that, if 1000 people are playing the same route at the same time, there will be 1000 different...

No, we don't all have " generally bad performance " and " massive stuttering ". Some do, to be sure, but you are really only speaking for yourself.

The route itself runs near- perfectly on my admittedly pretty high- end machine. Little to no stuttering or hanging and a consistent 60fps...

Yes, these are the important issues for me, much more than the quality of the road traffic, which is never great in TSW anyway. I'm bothered by...

Well, if cats are the reason you bought the route, I'm pretty sure you could have picked up a real one for $40 or less. :D Don't you think that...

I haven't popped for this route yet. I've read the " bug " thread and there do seem to be a myriad of issues, perhaps revealing a big problem with...

I believe it's " storm in a teacup " or " tempest in a teapot ". ;)

No need for a new thread. We don't need donkeys in the route ( any route ). Or cats, colored cattle, green dinosaurs etc. In fact let's get rid...

I've had HSC for quite a while, but I'm just getting into it. While it doesn't compare with the TSC version in terms of locos and rolling stock,...

She's a very tall cat, in relation to her surroundings. What are they feeding these animals?

DTG face a difficult choice. They cannot delay a release indefinitely, because lots of players would be upset if that happened. So, if there are...

I agree. It seems that spawning and animating road traffic accurately is just too difficult with the current tools. I can't think of a single...

I recall a couple of scenarios in TSC when someone pulled the comm. cord and the train made an emergency stop. But they were purely narrative,...

All of the American freight routes offer some great gameplay. I personally would recommend Cajon Pass and Sand Patch Grade. I'm currently...

No, not to worry, OldVern, there is a largish team whose only job is to design collectibles like fluffy dinosaurs, donkeys, colored steers??, and...

Yes, last year I thought Rush Hour traffic and passengers were " the wave of the future " Now I realize that " Rush Hour " is a thing of the past....

Yes, I'm doing the same thing, at least for a while until some of the bugs mentioned are fixed. If they're not, I'll wait for a sale next year....

Yes, because that's how consumer prices generally trend., and people are used to small price rises from time to time. It actually doesn't matter...

I think a modest price increase every couple of years since TSW was launched would have been more palatable than the sudden 33% increase in the US...

Can we assume, then, that " Rush Hour " hasn't reached Birmingham yet. Yet another route to add to BML and Harlem etc., missing that feature,...

I vaguely recall something about not being able to record real announcements due to copyright issues at certain stations, though there are some...

Right. Well, it should have been there anyway because, like many players, I like to go walk-about ( or should I say fly-about ) when playing a...

Your spelling is improving. Keep it up! :D

I'll be looking for your review in a day or two. Positive or negative, might knock me off the fence one side or the other. " Heavy is the head...

:D Unfortunately, I'm rather fond of expensive wines, the price of which I never, ever complain about. :D

From players' initial reactions to the route, I'm almost tempted. If only there was one more train, perhaps a 1st or 2nd gen diesel stopping...

How gross ! ( I had to look it up ). Why would this apply to a railroad station?

I believe it was decided that, since you wouldn't see the stadium from the platforms, it was unnecessary to include it or even a generic version...

The omission of iconic landmarks like Yankee Stadium and the Met Life Building was discussed at length when the route was released. Also missing...

Then why choose to produce a route when you know that it will have just one train? At least in Cajon we have two drivable trains. I hope that the...

You're still missing the point. Either that or you don't give a jot about the players around the world who will have to pay price increases of...

But it's Hershey which manufactures the Cadbury chocolate bars in the US.

Unfortunately the price increase mess has caused a rift between the DTG apologists and the DTG critics and they are largely talking past each...

Actually, I'd say that was quite a long list. ;) ( And I'm thinking that most of it is unlikely to see the light of day. )

When something interferes with the Livery Designer, DTG are right on top of it lickety- split. Meanwhile, bugs affecting the actual game............?

That sounds very painful.

One notable example is the Harriman Cut- off in Sherman Hill. If I remember correctly, the auto-gen machine ran out of gas! I'm also reminded of...

Trains are noisy beasts, whatever the traction method. Only occasionally has TSW been able to capture the clanking, jangling, rattling, clunking,...

It's 4.82 GB

I have the same experience. In fact, I have an even better experience. Never had a derailment, not a single red light issue, minimal stuttering if...
