I didn’t seriously expect it would. You can’t just rework an entire route in a weekend. However there was the hope they had indeed streamed an...
:D Loved that game, especially the 1999 RC version. Even that had better graphics than Rivet routes…:D:D
And butchering the Class 27.
Indeed!
I doubt the flat MSTS ground texture is going to look any different whatever the platform. Fact remains Rivet have dropped the ball big time on...
Thanks Rob. I was posting from the iPad and it’s not the easiest thing to copy and paste links in Safari!
The first images have just appeared in another thread and as expected, Rivet have done cuss all over the weekend to address the scenery concerns....
Well that is just awful. If Rivet and DTG who are publishing it can't see, "What's wrong with this picture?" per the famous quote from the movie...
Yes they changed the title at the last minute to tie in with the new, ahem, politically correct, rebranding of various London routes by TfL.
It does indeed. Though there is actually a psychological hit when you see your £80 balance drop to around £5 as with mine having splurged on TSC...
Fair enough. I don’t think I’ll be refunding, too late now anyway, but as I said elsewhere it’s a stocking filler route - something if you want to...
Unlikely to change as it’s Steam who largely decide when the main sales are held, which is roughly quarterly. As I advised in the other thread,...
I get that, just tempering expectations with a bit of realism.
No one is expecting a 1 to 1 reproduction of what you can see along the line from the train and generic buildings are fine - if placed...
You would have thought if DTG are going to attempt this type of realistic scenario they would check with the in house or external experts or refer...
I'm just trying this scenario now and it is ignoring the Rule Book completely as regards TSR's or ESR's. There are no "Dalek" boards for the ESR's...
My run as above was just after mid-day.
Well, well... Look what just ran in alongside me at Barking: [ATTACH] Erm, "My Lords" is the expression that comes to mind. And DadRail said the...
I don't think a Roblox house plonked on the terrain coming up the sides of it, no garden or fence a few yards from the track or terrain texturing...
One other feature I like which I'm not sure we've seen yet on UK routes are the safety recesses inside the tunnels/covered ways. Up to now we have...
AFAIR signalling is based on standard UK MAS (colour light). It would be nice, but my dream would be a North/South Tyneside network set back...
A couple of thoughts on physics after watching the DadRail stream and with a nod to the real 710 Captain who has been posting his feedback....
Non railway, I would say Snowrunner although with the dodgy truck physics more game than sim. ETS2 and ATS though since the sound change to FMod...
No they are purely for rewards like desktop wallpapers etc.
You must have read that DTG currently have a hiatus on doing anything North American involving freight railroads. So unless a third party decides...
All good so far but I too encountered the suicidal passengers at Leytonstone High Road. This really does need to be addressed.
Next Steam sale probably around June time towards the solstice. So if you can find them in a local supermarket, stock up on Steam Wallet gift...
Also debatable these days whether mass produced chocolate is in fact, erm chocolate. More like brown coloured and flavoured sugar candy. Real...
Very encouraging - great fan of the tramway particularly pre modernisation, having built the original MSTS route and the TSC version (with a lot...
Hopefully they have a “Plan B” either another route of their own that could take a 158 or a layer for another UK route, though hard to see one...
Yes really frustrating getting to Gospel Oak and seeing the NLL stretching away in both directions. Hope they can do a SEHS and add Stratford to...
My reputation in that area has lost all credibility… :) Seriously though it’s very nice and a pleasant jump in quality for DTG in house both as...
Despite my prerelease stance after seeing the very positive feedback - even from some of the more pragmatic members like me - I folded and bought...
Despite my pre release stance I folded and bought it earlier and have to say, once you get through the Training Centre bit and on to the route...
Personally I think it's just an excuse from Rivet to paper over the deficiencies of their route builder(s). Most other routes that are packed with...
Maybe the bagpipe situation needs to be taken to a separate thread? We don't really want to detract from the other key issues the route has or...
And of course, the cherries on the cake - the two steam routes. SoS with its two locos and handful of rolling stock, then massive acreage of empty...
Same here, it's actually getting tempting, even though not normally a fan of stop/start EMU routes. Assuming Fife Circle stays off the menu then...
Ah but are they playing "pink" bagpipes!
I knocked together a NE Scotland map in TF2 and following one of the little trains around it looked better than Rivet terrain and texturing!
As a courtesy to customers I would suggest they also extend the preorder discount beyond the release date as it is simply not realistic to expect...
Presumably not all “employees” are full time salaried with a pension scheme. Would like to bet a fair bit of the creative side is outsourced,...
+1
Saying something is boring is not the same as pointing out errors of quality or sub standard modelling and timetabling, or challenging the...
Not sure I entirely trust ambassadors getting a complimentary copy to give a completely unbiased report.
I guess to take advantage of the 10% discount and/or because it’s something you really, really want and you are satisfied with the preview...
Exactly what I’ve been saying! DTG are ultimately the publisher and are responsible for the final go/no go on whether something gets released. I...
Unlike TSC though, you will not necessarily fail the scenario or run if you miss one of the objectives.
In which case they should be working through the weekend and doing a new stream on Sunday or Monday to correct the error. Lackadaisical all round.
Royal Train was a right PITA I agree. In reality, the “special train” would receive a clear run barring any unforeseen occurrence and on lines...
