All true; but I was posting in the context of branding and licensing. Apparently First Group want the FGW livery buried; but DTG have a British...
It's my understanding that the original 212/112s (DR) and the later 112.1s (joint DB/DR order, right before the merger) have different headlights:...
I'm not sure to what extent it's visible, but from a mechanical perspective they are very different indeed, since on the 143 the traction motors...
Or do a non-electrified line with diesels. Or even a vintage German route, "German players only want modern" be da**ed.
But not the same meteorology. (And I really doubt many Aussies would consider any date in September to be the beginning of autumn)
If the time period is 1990s, which does fall within Era 6, then they can use BR livery on the HST with no problems. In fact, an early '90s date...
While that's quite true, the busier the timetable gets, that is the more trains on-map at one time, the heavier the processing load. Imagine...
Not here. But then, we're about 14 degrees south of Chatham's latitude.
According to the Rules, autumn doesn't begin until Sept. 21
However, it's interesting to note that roughly 10% of the player base are Australian (as many as the Germans)- so why not an Aussie route?
DTG are not going to make a 250 mile route.
? If what you mean is to combine the old route with the Boston-Providence line, they're 180 miles apart. It would be rather like joining Cathcart...
Simply delete the .pak files from your PC
Or they could compromise by doing the Frankfurt-Paris run, or part of it (say, Kaiserslautern-Strasbourg). An international border with...
I wouldn't be so sure about the ACS64 as being that from TSW2020 redivivus. I wouldn't be surprised if its foundation instead was the BR 182. At...
I meant exactly what I said, and I know what the idiom means. I interpret what Adam said in the stream two weeks ago as binning the entire RT...
They didn't have Distributed Power, formally, meaning by that actual remote control. But that isn't what "Banking Comms" represents in the game...
Exactly. It isn't a choice between "ICE 3 or ICE-T." It's a choice between "ICE or no ICE."
That isn't entirely accurate. It's effectively impossible to replace a shorter train with a longer one, but an ICE 3 is longer than an ICE-T...
I'm not sure why I enjoy trying to reproduce old liveries as exactly as I can, but I do [IMG] [IMG] This was the 363's original paintjob, back...
I doubt DTG would model a whole new loco just for a couple of services (especially since the purist would shriek about realism).
FWIW, the 363 can be repainted in Livery Designer; the 204 cannot.
To that add the rather underwhelming services that came with the 204. Great loco, repetitive gameplay.
Unfortunately, in Yes, Minister it was all rather funny and pretty harmless. To get closer to reality one needs to add the ruthless malevolence...
AIUI, there is only a need for at most three pantos for a (hypothetical) loco to run on any OHEP system in Europe, provided each is rated for the...
That's not entirely accurate. Each has its own copy of its own "native" rolling stock, both the defaults and any DLC for which it is the "home"...
I believe CG is correct. Trademark infringement happens, if it happens, when an article is introduced in trade; and it is DTG, not Rivet or TSG,...
The dispatcher has to be aware of the entire 24-hour timetable. Even if a train doesn't appear on the map until it emerges from the City Tunnel...
The dispatcher necessarily has to keep track of every train that exists within the route.
Hopefully better than they did in the original NEC.......
Well, otoh there is something appealing about a world with just trains in it, and no rotten miserable apes-with-pretensions.
All sold together as one bundle
However, it's my understanding that brand licensing is one of the things which DTG handle, not the third-party developers (for example, it's...
Wow, a passenger coach still in dark green, in 2018?
It isn't supported yet; it will be when the core update comes out this summer.
Certainly everything is easier from a licensing perspective if they set things before privatisation
True enough, but that doesn't help with Journey mode
Apparently the only way to do that is to toss out the entire timetable and build a new one from the ground up. Adam did that with RT, but that...
Shouldn't be an issue, although if you delete them you'll also be deleting all the rolling stock that came with them, so they will no longer...
Those are the routes that came with TSW2.
The only ICEs that run on the Main-Spessart Railway are ICE-1s and ICE-Ts, so the 403/406 would be just as "wrong" here as in Dresden. No ICEs run...
That's pretty much standard practice. If you look in your folders, you'll see that SKA, BKL and SPG are separate .pak files.
In these cases DTG have to make a command decision: "Do we include an empty timetable layer for a train we have not made yet, and may never, or do...
That isn't really the issue, though- it isn't whether DTG could have built the 189 as a new loco, but whether the 185 is wrong. Clearly it isn't;...
Well, the Boston route does include new things: The MBTA coaches will be new, the cab car ("half a loco") will be new, and I'm prepared to call...
The two cases are not comparable, though. In the first instance we are talking about the rolling stock which is included as an intrinsic part of...
Separate names with a comma.
