I think this ties in with my tinfoil sombrero theory that they don’t have many (or any) staff now employed in house developing new assets,...
At a tangent from that, do you still have adequate in house staff working on projects and looking at code? TSC seems all but abandoned as do Catan...
Only really Mittenwaldbahn and Cardiff tantalising me at present. The London route is too short and just a variation on Goblin, as noted...
The other key point about MP is that every function performed by a cooperative player, needs to be capable of being taken over by the AI. Whether...
They probably scoffed at TTTE at one point, too. I mean I'm not against MP per se but it's trying to fit it into a train sim where it makes sense...
Someone has copied and pasted from last years text regarding Thomas as it refers to "next year" which would mean 2026! On the subject of Thomas,...
Same answer as always. Multiplayer is not going to bring much to the train sim experience aside from a player avatar over an approaching train and...
Actually now you mention it, they probably have more in common with the original LNER Tyneside electric units! :)
Thanks guys, I shall forge ahead with the 08 scenario after tea.
I have switched of the Like/Help alerts in the forum options so the only advice I get if someone replied to a thread I’m following, or otherwise...
Quick question. Before embarking on the long 08 shunt/trip scenario from Kingmoor to Currock etc., does this have any known issues? Don’t want to...
Absolutely this. JT obviously have research data and people who know the area from their TSC work, so just need to bring them up to snuff with...
This may still come up against the transit operators not being prepared to agree licensing, access or depiction of their operations and procedures...
Australia recently discussed and DTG stated none of the train or infrastructure operators are prepared to talk about licensing or access for research.
Don’t give them ideas…:cool: Oh and Thomas, don’t forget that coasting is important to save energy!
Given the ongoing state of the game (I just read the WCMLS PS5 crashing thread), the only thing they should be focused on in the roadmap is where...
Bit of a grey area as they were ordered by the LNER pre WWII in 1938 but didn’t enter service until 1954 after electrification was finally...
DTG are so committed to Thomas they couldn’t even raise their enthusiasm to creating a nice fantasy route or layout on which to run the equipment!
At least TSC allows one save per scenario. I did tag the EP in another post earlier today where the Save game topic came up. Not only more slots...
Given the TSC one is available as a base line, very surprised this hasn't been contemplated to breathe fresh life into Sherman, with guest...
Yes a UK style Run 8 would be good. At least one of the people doing Run 8 is from the UK side of things in their former life as 3D Train Stuff.
Well I hope so. Though flagging something for attention is not the same as getting the code fixed, particularly not knowing how well off DTG are...
The excuse for Zusi not having a save game ranges from it being too complex with all the trains running (other sims manage reasonably okay), it’s...
Well it would be nice to get a full on E2 tank loco in the game but the problem there is, 1. None were preserved so physics and sound are a stab...
Yes that’s the biggest single issue. Matt P. did state a few weeks ago he was getting the “team” to look at it, but nothing more has been heard on...
By all accounts it’s going to be even more simplified than the existing steam stuff. A good analogy might be one of those old Triang Hornby locos...
I remember that one but sadly I hadn’t made a save before going off path or getting the SPAD. Whoever designs these scenarios with such close...
Not strictly true. The Save Game does work most of the time albeit with caveats and bugs plus just the one slot. But that applies across the board...
As I mused the other day, has anyone on PC at least, tested what happens if you drop the Shap pak file into your TSW4 DLC folder? Would it work?
Despite its compact nature, this is the one I’m quite looking forward to, mainly for the 150 and 153. Fingers firmly crossed though Rivet have not...
Just a quick shout out and thank you to SHG for these and the new timetable. Nice unit to drive and much better on EtoG than the 385. Might just...
I saw only 9, voted for one in each category (3 total) and it won’t let me vote for any more.
If you are playing on PC/Steam then you had one hour and fifty nine minutes of play time to decide the route wasn’t for you and request a refund.
It really wasn’t that hard. The important thing is to keep enough fuel for the climb up to Aschaffenburg Sud. I basically ran no faster than 65 to...
Probably way outside DTG's comfort zone, unfortunately. Also we don't know how the Serbian Railways would view a simulated version of their...
Years before and as I mentioned, nearly all done by a guy from Ukraine - in happier times. Also the biggest issue with the Russian stuff in...
Even though it's a very cut down prospect from what it should have been, I'm going to find a guilty pleasure in Cardiff City Network. And...
Sadly it feels like DTG's interest in TSC is minimal to zero at this point.
TSW may be UE4 but that doesn’t mean it was the best choice for a fast moving train sim game engine. There is a school of thought that UE is...
I think part of the problem was, for all the complexity it is actually quite a short route. All water (steam?) under the bridge now but having two...
There are certainly some circumstances where it would be useful. The problem might be how the game engine would stand up to all the accelerated...
This. They also must know quite nicely that something based on the GWR, maybe Riviera Line, would sell like hot cakes even with steam traction as...
I just have a nasty feeling, despite being a short route using a recycled train, the bean counters at ATS and DTG will be pushing this at £30....
Ironically most of the Russian content in Trainz was developed by a Ukrainian! So I suspect that came into play. The frustrating part is there are...
But can you do it to a death metal riff?!
Yes currently a discussion going on about that in the TSC forum. Sadly seems developers are more focused on doing modern units than older stuff....
About the only chance of a Thumper would be if AP decided to rework their TSC version for TSW. But it seems selling sound files to DTG or...
Boats are just about the worst method of travel IMHO. Trains, planes, trams even buses great but had more than my share of slow tedious sea...
Actually one thing you can say in Rivet’s favour, despite their mediocre route and train efforts, they do generally create some interesting...
