No way is DTG doing a route with more than one new engine. They used to, long ago, but that's not happening again.
US versions of European designs, including the Liberty, are massively overweight = slow and sluggish, because of the brutally heavy reinforcement...
Assuming they playtest. One bugaboo of mine occurs in any of the many scenarios where one has to change cabs to reverse direction or something:...
The consist on 50001 München-Hamburg B. is limited to 100km/h Vmax anyway.
Why would you ever set up a passenger train in LL? Those coaches are very light and have powerful brakes: they should be set to R if available and...
Because Amtrak management realized they weren't wasting taxpayer money fast enough
For the Cathcart challenge, you just have to go ahead and speed- nowhere is it "legal" to do 70. The Newton branch gives you the most open...
What's frustrating is that DTG giveth, but then DTG taketh away. Riesa-Dresden had magnificent night lighting, but it's never been repeated. The...
Sand Patch, without a doubt. The grade is challenging without being too rough for a newbie. Shunting as well as road work. And three locos, each...
The SKW 146 is not supposed to be drivable; it's intended as an AI train. When you select a 146 in Timetable mode, choose the DRA version NOT this...
While that is true, DTG (a) don't want litigation, which is so costly that often the only winners are the lawyers; and (b) they certainly don't...
As the Steam sale approaches its end, I have decided to bite the bullet and buy one new route for (close to) full price. But which of the two is...
Not without Class 80x's.
There is a "subtitles" toggle in Settings; check to see if it's turned off.
Ah. Right. But is the G6 re-fuelable?
I reckon there is something of a diplomatic dance involved: while, in theory, DTG might be able to win a court fight, in practice they don't want...
Also, with air brakes on the dynamic brakes seem to randomly engage and disengage on their own, making stops rather exciting and difficult to finesse.
Well, since in game no diesels run on the route anyway.....
An excellent idea. Not long ago that was a reality, because TSW2020 was still on the market and was in effect an affordable bundle of five...
That was not included for licensing reasons. Even though all but 5 of the 314s stayed in blood-and-custard all the way to retirement, DTG didn't...
Which may underlie the US railroads' periodically painting an engine in a "heritage" livery- if need be, they can claim "but we're still using...
The reason cabs and coach interiors appear so washed out and overexposed is because DTG don't apply shadows from internal light sources or any...
I think what Bravo is saying is that some brands/logos/liveries are so ancient that it would be impossible to research them accurately enough to...
Yup. To me, anyway, the standard for realistic graphics (esp lighting effects) remains Red Dead Redemption 2- which was released in 2018 for...
Clinchfield is an excellent route. It is imperfect- I posted a lengthy ticklist - but most of the ticks are pretty trivial. The banking comms...
Well, I regard this as money wasted on a route I will never play, like LIRR and Boston. Unless, of course the signaling is fixed- the day Hell...
It may be connected to the fact that with older routes, the flare around signal lights was a huge hazy blob (in fact, one can't tell a double from...
Tested with DX11: still crashes.
It gives me no chance to even start braking. No moving bug, no alarm, no nothing: just BANG! Zwansbremsung. ------------ It's disenheartening to...
It seems that (under ETCS Level 1) whenever I pass a yellow signal then instantly, with no opportunity to acknowledge or take any action at all,...
I love the fact that on US routes you can hear the police sirens- European "nar-nee" sirens, not at all the American air-raid howl.
Only some of DTG's US locomotives have working flow meters (the C40-8W is one). On the rest, sadly, they're just dummies.
OK, it's a nice little teaser- but how does it "confirm" the train versions?
I just got this, but in my limited exploration PIS on AI trains is not working at all. Either it's blank, or it reads Geschlossen/Bitte nicht...
The force selector can be controlled with the R and F keys, like speed control settings would be on other locos.
Entirely logical - when affordable. But the US has some 140,000 miles (225,000 km) of rail line, most of it through rural areas and wilderness. A...
Almost every TV series, at least the better ones, have a "bible." This is a reference notebook (or pdf nowadays) available to all the writers to...
Amtrak does run on a somewhat reduced schedule on weekends; MARC also runs from Balto to DC Saturday Dec 31 2022:
Or for that matter STILL permitting devs to place stop markers smack on top of signals, even on freight services. NOBODY bullseyes a 14,000 ton...
The "new lighting" system really has nothing to do with this, which is caused by route builders simply not installing nearly enough lights in...
Evidence of one failed service does not constitute evidence, except to support your absurd - strawman - argument that "I have been previously...
Again- DX12 makes TSW3 run so very much better that I wouldn't consider running without it, especially for a minor route I only got because it was...
More strangeness: got Rivet's Luzerne-Sursee to replace IoW- it runs without any problems with my usual .ini file and DX12.
The flying cameras are your friends there. Hit 3 twice, uncouple, hit 1
Another goodie on SEHS (expanded): 1E93 London Bridge to Ramsgate Starts like a normal boring semi-express run. But then the AWS alarm starts...
Türfreigabe, "Door release." Below 30 km/h the driver can unlock the train doors. (note that IRL, German train doors are not actually opened from...
This transition was slowed down by Covid, and by the fad for bit-mining which caused a chip shortage, ergo low supply and high prices.
That's my guess. When they bring out TSW4, it will be "Sorry, there will be no Gen 8 version. But all your Gen 8 DLC will upgrade to the Gen 9...
[removed by Protagonist - starting an argument]
The orange/pale gray livery for the Rhein-Main S-bahn 420s long predated the Produktfarben era; they were delivered that way from the factory...
