Was that the WSR revamp? That's the most memorable PC update.
You are right on the money, solicitr! This is actually a pretty good package for SPG, and I will no doubt pop for it. But a cynic would have a...
Well, although the 8F could be used as a pilot in a pinch, I don't fancy maneuvering a full size steamer around the yards and terminus. The route...
Well, I will buy this expansion pack strictly for the improvements to SPG. I played Kohn- Achen to death when it first appeared and I have no real...
I think it's just semantics, I often use " need " when I really mean " want "( as in, I really need a cup of coffee ). But I agree with you...
I'm guessing but I think his point is that the big announcement is about painting trains rather than fixing routes and locos, a sentiment I would...
I agree that, as of this moment, DTG cannot apparently produce longer routes while maintaining quality and economic viability. If that is the...
C'mon, he was just kidding. :D
These meaningless and self-serving, self fulfilling polls are getting ridiculous. Polls should be placed in a separate sub forum and then we could...
If you use the 8 camera and race ahead of the train on SPG and wait at a crossing, you can certainly watch the gates go down ahead of the train...
The point about Sand Patch is not the speed limits, they are pretty fast on the straight sections. The grade and curvature are what slow you down,...
Canned spaghetti in a sandwich??!! I'm about to barf!!
I think that's a reasonable assessment. Since the UK route is already known, It does beg the question as to when we can expect an announcement...
Ooh, you can't be serious. Peanut butter and ( grape ) jelly sandwiches are a staple food in the US. You can actually buy them premixed in the...
Yes, but then DTG would have to build the ALC - 42 Charger, which is slated to take over that service shortly.
Shame, it's such a scenic route by all accounts, lakes, mountains, historic towns and cities.
The present HUD is not perfect, but I find it gives me the information I need while driving. Frankly, after the disastrous, unilateral changes to...
If it became another " electrostar/emu " route, I would lose all interest. As it is, I only drive the Class 101 and the 52 on the GWE.
Absolutely. There aren't many of us who have the luxury of spending several hours on a single route without life taking us away periodically, not...
I would be concerned that there might be a choice between quantity and quality. I'd much prefer a route that was 50 miles with detailed track and...
So when were Harlem and Liverpool- Crewe selected? Surely some time in late 2021. Or last Jan/Feb?
Since he lives " down under, " don't expect an immediate reply. ;)
You haven't lived in the Midwest!! :D:D
Fair enough, although I don't myself rely much any more on the streams for information about what's going on in terms of planning and production....
Agreed. And how about someone, maybe on console, who wants to try out the game, buys the " Rush Hour " or deluxe starter, finds it buggy or has...
Having to make driving adjustments on the fly because of sudden changes in the weather would be so immersive. Especially on routes where you're...
It really is very random. I recently started a service on SPG from Rockland to Cumberland with the SD70Ace and about 50 coal wagons. I got as far...
It constantly amazes me how much " insider knowledge " some people have about the inner workings of DTG, even though they don't work for the...
I guess we'll just agree to disagree. ;)
Oh no, I'm sure most companies incorporate all kinds of overhead and variable costs into their Cost of Goods Sold spreadsheets, and fix prices,...
I disagree. Dynamic weather may not be essential and its absence is certainly not game breaking, but it would unquestionably add to the immersion...
I don't know where some people get the idea that fixing bugs, making improvements to dlc and QA testing are non revenue activities. Those...
Sand Patch has always been one of my favorite routes, but I've recently started re- running some of the services after being away from it for a...
Sorry, but the major " whines" " mentioned in this thread and in my post above are stale only in the sense that they haven't been addressed in a...
Well, we have the usual doves vs hawks debate. When the dust settles I do think that the hawks have some genuine beefs. The problems with the dlc...
They did in the USA!
I'm hard pressed to think of any examples of DTG modeling booking halls, concourses, station malls or shoe shine stands in either of their...
Yes, the Bath- Templecombe route would have made a gentle introduction to steam. I cut my teeth, as it were, learning to drive steam locos on that...
Yes they will. And maybe the artists could seize the opportunity to dress them in weather appropriate attire. I just ran a January service out of...
It's interesting that DTG chose to place this first steam route specifically in 1958, right on the cusp of dieselization. That's why there's so...
One thing that I would expect in a route from this era, is a switcher/shunter, to move freight and passenger stock around in the yards and...
I'm really excited about the arrival of steam, but it's certainly going to challenge many players' hardware. Steam, smoke and sparks...
Not really, though 2 TB might be overkill. I have almost all dlc and it comes to about 120-125 GB. I just bought a 1TB SSD and I expect it to last...
Excellent choice. Can't tune in today, so will rely on the forum for details. Thanks for the update WonterRail.
The next big thing would have to be environmental. Either a big improvement in night lighting and/or dynamic weather. These changes could come...
Honestly, I'm not overly concerned about the length of the consists in American freight routes. After about 50 cars , I'm not counting. Yes, I...
As you know, OldVern, there are a number of features that were present in MSTS (2001) and Railsimulator/Train Simulator (2009), which are still...
Not sure about that. As the publisher, I would think that DTG controls the release process and timing of their own and third party products. Prove...
It's a mystery right now, and there have been no specific patch notes from DTG, but several people, including me, have reported significant...
Ah, thanks, DTG Natster. To quote Churchill, " I will sleep the sleep of the saved and thankful. " :D :D
