Possibly. But, since NEC is not available in TSW2 and Oakville is, in my view, a potentially very good but regrettably unfinished route, the gap...
Don't think so.
Happened to me on the Dash8 yesterday in the "Slippery Descent" scenario. Kept rising and falling haphazardly after going out completely. Came...
Strange because animated grade crossings have been part of TS for years and no-one ever complained of a "performance hit".
I stand corrected. But that's still a whole year ago. And the next release is likely months away.
Can we clear up a couple of recurring misunderstandings about the lack of NA content that won't seem to go away. 1. It has absolutely nothing to...
Still no North American routes or locomotives anywhere close to release, or even planned. Very disappointed. Despite all the assurances, we...
DTG has had a license for NS for many years and has made much use of it in TS. You should expect to see an NS route in TSW2 at some point.
Having been away from SPG for a while, I finally got around to the "Slippy (sic) Descent" scenario and it turned out to be a major disappointment....
UP also has trackage rights over Cajon so that's a possibility. And I'm curious. Isn't that Kansas City - St Louis route a KCS line? If so, there...
Not sure what your point is but DTG has made it clear that they are committed to parity across all platforms. Nevertheless, there will always be a...
Even as an AI service, it would only run once a day in each direction. But it would be nice to see it with a rake of superliners now and again.
Would be nice but currently still " in production ". With luck it will move up a notch in Tuesday's roadmap. It really ought to be next, after the...
BNSF Chicago - Galesburg; NS North West Indiana; UP Cajon Pass; CSX Southern portion of Clinchfield.
I'm confused. This was one of the fixes listed as " released " on the November 24 roadmap. Why is this still an issue? I'm pretty sure I've played...
The notion of a 2,000 mile high speed rail line from LA to Chicago is, I'm sorry to say, pure fantasy. The cost would be out of this world and,...
What mitigates against any major rail project in the US is that Americans are and always have been wedded (I want to say "welded" ) to their...
Well I hope it does get built. Here in the US we have lots of local efforts at high speed rail, not just in Texas but in California, Florida and...
This is all good advice. It takes judicious use of both the dynamic and automatic brakes to manage a heavy train on the downgrade. First use the...
I do use noise canceling headphones, but that's mainly for the wife's benefit. She's not a big fan of 16 cylinder diesel engines. But I can still...
Have to agree. I haven't played TS for quite a while but I remember the agonizingly slow loading times for startup and then the scenario. TSW2 is...
Thanks for taking the time to make this map, Geloxo. Really helpful when playing. I guess I'm one of the "happy few" who enjoy this route, despite...
That's why I use a good set of noise canceling headphones!:D
Not living in the UK, I don't have a dog in this hunt, but I'm always in awe at your ability to build and finance such monumental projects such as...
The TS route from Lake Louise to Revelstoke is spectacular but, at 150 miles or so, probably too long for TSW2. I would like to see something...
I went with any Amtrak route, though I would welcome a Chicago Metra line which is not in the poll.
How about the independent brake? And I notice you're not sitting in the driver's seat. Just guessing, I haven't played this one yet.
:DMm, maybe he's been working too hard. Some time off might be therapeutic?:D
This reminds me of some scenarios on TS (PC, of course) when the summary would say something like - "Bad weather has caused disruption up and down...
I totally agree with those sentiments, honest criticism is healthy and useful. However, I wish the moderators would shut down the trolls more...
Not sure I understand the " temperature " answer. Sand Patch has snow that stays on the ground for the entire journey. Is that because the...
When I bought my PC about 5 years ago, it was considered pretty high end. It cost about $1,600 including a decent display. I can still play TSW2...
Sex Pistols? Love and soul???:D
The sound of a 16 cylinder diesel engine on notch 8 is music enough for me.;)
It's a simulator, a representation of the world surrounding a railway. The closer it gets to reality the better, but it's never going to be a...
This is a tricky problem for DTG or any game publisher. There are people with very high end systems who experience stuttering and other graphics...
Love that paint scheme and those enormous radiators. Bring it on!
Depending on the particular service, you may have rear helpers, which requires you to turn on banking com above your head on the radio display. I...
Right, the number of posts on SPG loco setup could fill a 300 page book and yet the questions still come up. Relying on forum members to...
Banking Com is actually not a "cheat". It's there to mimic the radio communications with the " driver " in the rear helpers. Unfortunately, it's...
Possibly, but, someone correct me if I'm wrong, are not CTA and METRA part of the same umbrella organization- RTA or something similar?
Some great suggestions. However, DTG would need a license from CTA and they were unable to get one from Metra a few years ago for the Racetrack.
Thanks for answering my question. Now I can stop whining about NA content......... Well, for the rest of the week, anyway.:)
You can set up the rear helpers, but without the Radio HOTD and Banking Com switched in, how specifically would you control them?
It was an absorbing 3 hours 14 minutes. A lot of information both general and specific about the game. Left me with a really good feeling about...
Simply press "9" again to return to the game. No need to press "escape".
I agree. SPG is still my favorite route, partially because of the loco setup. I would not enjoy it anywhere near as much if it were simply "jump...
Ah yes, I remember now. What an elegant solution to the problem.;)
When I last played this scenario, it took about 10 minutes after bailing off for the next objective to appear. But it did appear. Or is this...
Same on PC. Usually, I change all the switches in advance while the train is stationary, before beginning an objective, though I'll often verify...
Separate names with a comma.
