Jan directly addressed forum vs Discord not long ago.
Two things come immediately to mind: 1) While IRL you can pretty much drop a loco on a pair of rails and it will roll if it has power, in a game...
This was a case of six of one, half dozen of the other. The problem was that with a single master loco, any change has to then be tested on every...
Forum, definitely. IIRC, some DTG staff also posted that they enjoyed the tournament last time, so I imagine they'll cut you some slack. I'm...
It's not being defensive of a game dev; it's checking the obvious ("Is the printer that's not working powered on?") in the absence of any...
If you Google it, you'll see that this error does happen with more than one game and with seemingly plenty of space available. FredElliott's...
Dunno, multiple polls in a thread would mean having to find the poll you want buried in all the messages. Much easier to have the one poll at the...
Looking forward to this very much. A year's worth of new DLCs, plus whatever natural forum turnover has occurred, should add enough freshness to...
Sure, mix & match dominates, but it was noticeable that in the midst of that, a CSX loco was only followed by CSX equipment, so that felt more...
IIRC, the lack of weathering being a licensing thing was stated outright on a stream quite a while back. At least some rail companies want their...
Well, technically, your 70th birthday is the end of your 70th year, so you're over 70 from that point.
There's a joke: Brits think 100 miles is a long distance, and Americans think 100 years is a long time.
I remember seeing an article on things that surprise foreign visitors to the U.S., and one of them was the sheer size of the country. One travel...
This is the thing I think; that UE5 is still being actively developed. My guess would be that DTG's experience with even small point updates to...
Maybe we should change the term for perfectionism from "rivet counting" to "casting shade". :) Your first sentence is my own approach also, but...
DTG has talked about the unsuitablility of YouTube sounds before, and possibly about legal issues with lifting someone else's work for their use...
I could swear I remember DTG sending a DLC back to Rivet or someone for more work and even mentioning it in a stream. If I'm not imagining that,...
One big sticking point has always been accurate sounds, which won't happen without access. They can fudge in a fictional game at a level that the...
It's like being bilingual in the same language; we already know the words, but they mean different things.
I think in UK English, going on vacation is called going on holiday.
Pretty sure the public-facing team at the expo is not also the devs working on the patches.
Obligatory Alaska Railroad mastery reward suggestion. [ATTACH]
Seems odd to keep speaking in first person about something you're not actually affiliated with. Your statement at the end of your last post about...
I wonder how much of that is the supply issued COVID caused, where the 9th gen consoles took quite a while after launch to become easily findable...
Yeah, I don't get that. If DTG doesn't have a problem with a competing train sim being talked up on their forum (and if the Simrail people...
Thanks for the info! Could anyone point me to where the explanation was given, please? I'm pretty sure it's been stated that the in-house editor...
What I don't get, and has never been answered when I've asked, is why the editor that was released is seemingly so much less usable than the one...
To those of you always complaining about rivets and color shades, this is where your pursuit of absolute authenticity has brought us.
Seems to be a British thing, because the Oxford dictionary does indeed give a noun option for announce. And for our part, Merriam-Webster...
Jeez, anything involving Chicago. We've got the CTA's third rail system, Metra's commuter trains (both unlicensed, but if unbranded is an...
Forum: "Why are DLCs being released on gen 8 when performance is so bad? This is outrageous!"" "Why are some DLCs now being released on gen 9...
Appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed post. One request: Many of us on the forum neither have nor want a Discord account and so...
Metra has announced that their Holiday Train will return this year on the following schedule: Dec. 6: Milwaukee District West and BNSF lines...
Yikes. Seems self-evident that those two things should have overlap, not a gap. That's a pretty huge fail.
Juggling the three braking systems on the way down keeps you pretty much constantly engaged. Recovering control of those giant trains is...
Relevant quote from Matt earlier this year:
Considering the history the last few years with anything not directly train sim related (and I am taking the liberty of lumping Metro Rivals into...
And Halo too, and Gears of War PS5 is already out. These are strange times....
What's that number for?
Important: In welcoming the new person, I don't mean to exclude Harry, Jan, and the others who have also been present and working hard as PoCs...
That's the tricky question: Does a train sim have enough of a potential audience to fund a (relatively) fault-free train sim?
Is this actually what you meant? :)
Appreciate your constant presence and communication, thank you!
Another post on the subject, made to Reddit's r/gaming sub by user Vindhjaerta
This feels like a basic quality-of-life feature that I hope will be considered for the next release. There's a point where too much realism...
Has the possibility of legal problems being caused by mods adding trademarked logos that are no longer licensed ever been addressed? I thought...
?! Should have been the center square. :)
He made a pretty clear distinction in his post between those who offer constructive criticism and those who don't.
There have been a couple of warnings, but in general people have behaved themselves in this thread.
Not to mention that showing a willingness to openly disrespect one of their licensors would harm any and all present and future relations with...
Separate names with a comma.
