I often wonder if 3DTS/R8 studios might not have a finger in the pie too, even though they would never admit to competing with their own product.
You missed out Kicking Horse Pass in Canada. You are also still missing the point that heavy North American freight is on hiatus.
The one thing I took away from that clip, is that Matt P looked incredibly pissed off. Obviously EP gets the thankless kicking from on height...
Or our local Swindon and Cricklade which is a similar length. The trains spend more time at stations and running round than moving!
Actually curved ball here... How about Hope Valley from Manchester to Sheffield? New train is the Class 185 with the EMR 158 bought/layered in...
Oh I would pay handsomely for a Class 25, at least if you gave it 8 coaches to haul would be a bit more challenging.
And TBH although we all want longer routes, we also need variety so devoting artist and route builder time to one 300 mile project would not only...
Okay thanks. Might direct my cash towards Derby to Sheffield and the Hope Valley instead.
There is little point having more preserved railways with the hiatus on further steam traction. Nice though something like the Severn Valley, NYMR...
Yes it is and my opinion is quite valid in this instance. There is no way DTG would make a 300 mile route for TSW. Be realistic in your request...
After playing WCML South a bit in TSC I could go with a 350, so long as I don't have to keep hitting E every few seconds to stop the wretched...
With nothing much of interest appearing for TSW in the foreseeable future (£25 for the 13 mile Goblin Line, really?!) thoughts are turning to...
As I just responded in the other thread, it could be part of the WCML this time around but which part and what era open to speculation.
What I would like to see and what it probably will be are two different things. It would be nice to get something that touches an area not...
Yes but nothing to stop them extending from the master copy and issuing as a mega route.
Calling Salzburg to Rosenheim mountainous and hilly is a bit of a stretch, I mean it's a nice route but essentially it runs through at best...
Which is why I’m eyeing a couple of TSC add ons for the Easter Steam sale. Other than the Class 104 there is really nothing coming out for TSW...
And another one which will never get answered but needs asking… How much influence are Focus Entertainment really having on the future direction...
And with US heavy freight you need to be thinking about slowing down a mile or two ahead. Bear in mind too that dynamic brakes are more effective...
One more from me... Will the £25 Goblin Line be used as a springboard for a larger North London network, starting with the NLL itself and later...
On the other hand and not that we're likely to get it, a Sulzer Type 2 - 24, 25, 26 or 27 - aliased to a Class 37 or even the more deeper...
Ah yes there were some codes from a charity event last year where people already had some of the bundle content, but strictly I don’t think these...
I still wonder if DTG have lost a lot of the specialised talent they employed at one time, people who understood physics, train performance and...
Perhaps you should let DTG to whom the question was posed answer that, not once again act as a self appointed spokesman…
Exactly this. Overall I like TSW a lot otherwise I wouldn’t be here and DTG have taken what was a largely ignored and niche topic in the late 90’s...
Shorter routes are indeed fine. I would happily have paid £25 or even £30 for the Ffestiniog Railway or my pet hobbyhorse, Blackpool Tramway...
Guess it could be a holding project, similar to Glossop last year which foreshadowed ECML.
I'm guessing this is one of the routes that would probably have been sorted by the Preservation Crew, if they hadn't been sent down the road.
Well I hate to say it but I really hope the Goblin Line is a complete flop for them, maybe force a rethink of the quality/quantity/price issue.
What would be the point with no more steam traction being made for the game? I had hoped for something different like the West Highland and/or...
That's pretty much the impression I got playing the TSC version and that had the noisy Class 172 to add interest. Effectively it's another Glossop...
Just called him a fanboy so expect I'll get a weeks holiday from the forum now. But his constant unwavering defence of anything and everything DTG...
Just because you are happy to sit in your fanboy heaven and take DTG's pricing doesn't mean to say those of us with a more pragmatic view can't...
You really can't get off your rose tinted DTG adoration, can you. Same could be said about those games as well which is why I only tend to buy...
If this had included the North London line as well, I would probably have parted with £30, the one handled milk float notwithstanding. But I...
This is why I just asked the question in the March roadmap Q&A - where do they honestly see TSW going, drab overpriced DLC often of poor quality....
Of course there could be an ulterior motive here, which is to make a possible subscription service look more appealing. Still no to that as well...
And having just finished a session on Snowrunner, okay not exactly like for like but when you look at what you get for each Season Pass, DTG pales...
Soryy just cannot justify paying £25 for this short uninteresting route, with an in all likelihood uninteresting train which at best will get...
Which is why it should either be taken off sale, or discounted to something like £3 with clear warnings that it's not up to the standard (ha!) of...
I was probably giving them too much credit going down the bus garage or recording lorries going up and down the High Street. Come to think of it,...
And fitting straight in the context of this thread, is DTG's outrageous expectation that we will just up and part with £25 for the 13 mile Goblin...
What QA measures/oversight are being applied on Rivet's work on Fife Circle, given concerns expressed about sound and physics on the 170, to...
And again it's a route that's already in TSC (minus Riverside), with arguably a better train (the 172) so absolutely no reason to pay this...
They are having a laugh at that price. Only £5 more for Salzburg to Rosenheim which gave us nearly 60 miles of new route that had multiple layers...
A combination of what Run 8 and Railroader offer with a nice short line could be a fresh start for US freight in TSW. Find a “fallen flag” or...
