Yes, the F7 is considered by many as the locomotive which really kicked off the diesel era in the US. F units in general are some of the longest...
I bought the route but haven't tried it yet. However, that is a serious letdown. I only hope that Clinchfield doesn't suffer the same fate. I was...
Fine, you make a valid point. But I could point to animations in other routes, such as the tanker filling in Oakville, coal loading and turntable...
While it's fine to have the discussion, I guess, it's all moot anyway, because DTG have said "there is nothing to talk about" regarding upgrades...
Likely to be a combination of both. It is intriguing though. Is it just a straight 90 minute run down the line from Brendel to Potash? Or will...
Remember all those deer on the tracks in MSTS about 20 years ago?:) But yes I agree, we need people and animals. We seem to have gotten used to...
I purchased this route already. I think I'll enjoy it as a bit of relaxation in between the drama of SPG, Clinchfield and others. But there are...
I'm very optimistic about the future of RD and TSWx. I firmly believe that DTG are committed to external hardware in general. MP is something of a...
I think that's very debatable.
Well, having lived in the Baltimore - Washington area, I'm not sure it's the most interesting section of the NEC, especially if they can't...
Well, we can argue about this till the cows come home, but neither suggestion makes any sense. Nearly 70% of the player base is on console and of...
:D
Not sure if there's a schedule for adding RD support to individual locos. A patch is due any day for LIRR, maybe they'll choose that download to...
Daylight running lights are perfectly normal, at least in the US, depending on the weather and light level. Sometimes it's the law, especially if...
Oh ye of little faith! I had really given up hope that the Dash 8 would be fixed. In all, some really useful patches. Thanks guys!:)
Yes, the loss of NEC is still a source of remorse for many fans of American routes. While I guess we can accept the rather vague explanation for...
Amazing that 9 people voted!!
As in other routes, the snow seems to improve the look and feel.
Well, unlike in the TSW2 route, they had many different locomotives, SD40's , GP's, U Boats etc..They didn't just rely on F units.
Yes, mountain or desert routes might be appropriate. I haven't checked back but didn't some of the TS routes, like Revelstoke, have very long...
But they did! Using multiple locos on the lead, one or more mid consist and 2 or 3 pushers at the rear. The line was so busy in it's heyday, some...
OK, I guess I missed that. I'm still trying to imagine loading a 120 car coal train on either of those two routes, though.:) Come to think of it,...
Well, as of now, the only routes that would see trains of such length would be Sand Patch and (imminently) Clinchfield. So, given the frame rate...
I think I may be looking at the same map and you're right, the left hand track is definitely identified as the siding, going north as you come out...
Many of these fallen flags have been incorporated into TS202X, but of course, that game is 12 years old, three or four times as old as TSW. Given...
I see your point. But most of our console players are still using the original machines.The new ones haven't been available for very long and are...
Couldn't agree more. I think those PC players who insinuate that consoles are somehow holding the game back, are very shortsighted. As for longer...
Right, they could be seen pushing heavy coal trains from Elkhorn towards Dante, sometimes with a GP38. Problem was, some of the 7's didn't have...
Yes, some of the mine operators had their own switchers, maybe an old Alco S2 or S4. There's really no limit to the Americana that can be "mined"...
Very witty.:D
A CSX pack might well be an SD40-2 and a C30-7 for the early 80's.
Great! That's what I was hoping to hear. It makes the route pretty close to perfect. Now, about that loco dlc.....:)
The route looks absolutely fantastic, the team have really nailed it in my opinion. I was hoping for a release date, but Clinchfield has been so...
Absolutely. Never even crossed my mind.:)
Love those heritage liveries!
I have to say, Sam is certainly a champion of us players, don't you agree? He wasn't putting up with that choppy stream. He's a no-nonsense guy,...
Is it still in service? Where can it be seen?
Apparently it's all ready for release and just missed being included in the pack last week. I guess it depends on your definition of "very soon...
Well, first of all, it's been pretty well established that console players constitute the majority of "stakeholders" in the game. TSW2 might well...
Actually I'm finding the 101 a joy to drive, especially on the Raildriver. I don't know how it handles in the real world, but I think the brake...
I must admit, last night's stream wasn't the best at showing off this route and I have to agree with a lot of the criticism of the scenery, it did...
That's 1500 CDT, 1600 EDT, 1300 PDT. It's always a bit confusing this time of year because the US "springs forward" 2 weeks before the UK.
The route is looking really good at this point, but the biggest problem I see is a real shortage of locomotives. The long, heavy coal trains out...
About one service or scenario most days. But then I do other railroad related activities too, such as reading and watching trains go by.:) The...
I have a black car, it was about $1,000 cheaper than any other color. I can never have silver, because the wife thinks it's an "old person's...
I agree. These two routes are very different and will offer distinct driving experiences, unlike anything we currently have in the game. I was on...
Hmm , let me see. I'm trying to think of the word that you've just so eloquently defined.;)
They mentioned AI several times. I hope this means plenty of trains in passing sidings and holdups for red lights. I would also like to see coal...
Well, boring is a matter of opinion and you have a right to yours. But I'll just point out that the slowest it gets on Sand Patch is about 40 km/h...
