A FEW players would be unhappy with the simulation... popularity of the Scotsman and remarks made already in threads show there'd be a market for...
I haven't bought it yet (still working through the ones that I picked up recently on sale) but was thinking about it as a sort of stand-in for the...
Well the second is the ideal, preferably modifiable by the player (it detects what you are playing and you just drive to pre-set "spawn/despawn...
Probably yes, but it's easier than implementing a whole new system with entirely new logic and programming. The pieces already exist and the devs...
#1 for me is WSR. PFR and Nidder are pretty decent too. I don't have the others listed by people to compare yet. MSB and Koblenz aren't bad, nice...
That's a fair point. A few locos often do MOST of the work on any line. The 47 and 66 for example can run most maps for freight for most time...
Cajon Pass is 85 miles. That's pretty long. ECM is 80. Antelope is 76. Sherman Hill is 76. Yet shorter routes are often more interesting (to me)...
No clue if this is possible, but instead of "linked" routes which DTG says they can't do...what about more like a "playlist" of routes that...
It is rather ODD they don't add Taunton given you can almost SEE it from the existing map and it's the major terminus in the area of WSR. Maybe...
The freight on Maintalbahn is pulled by a 363. The 218 has more power than that by far. That's why I asked if it would sub in for the 363 since...
That would be amazing. I keep wanting to get around to something like that too, but...time honestly. Real life keeps getting in the way. This one...
I know it's not what you want to hear but... there's this thing called "Free Roam" and another thing called "Scenario Creator." That's what I do...
As nice as that is to say.... how many trains can one tiny country have in game? Not one train in South America, Africa, Asia, Australia.... I get...
From what I understand it's being build to layer into passenger routes only? Didn't see anything about the freight part which was also a big part...
Ah, that's why. Thanks for explaining.
Depends on what that 100 miles consists of. It depends on the grade/speeds/etc. Cajon Pass for example is plenty long in time because it's under...
The G6 still requires a base route to work. Learned that the hard way last week.
Randomized timetables.... for freight that's a lot more important. Just times, or also locations? I expect that'd be a pretty big lift to get...
What routes will it layer on?
I like SEHS. There are several different types of services you can use on it (high speed, local commuter, etc on a 3 different "branches"...
TEE?
Well that's about right for San Bernadino...
Replacing a real commute with a virtual commute. Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Microsoft Flight Simulator has that sort of thing. Kudos on the realism mate! My only issue with scenarios is that most of them tend to be really...
When you get paid as a writer, it often becomes an occupational hazard. =-)
"Do you like new routes every time? A bit of odd question. I didn't even like all of the older routes. But No." Sorry for the confusion, I'll...
Thanks for the info. Wow, lots of subvariants. I tried getting a good answer on why the Amtrak trains don't work on European electric routes since...
Haha "undercrackers" that's a new one.
Thanks for the responses, everyone! Good to see such a variety!
None of the above. I tend to avoid urban areas where possible irl and in game. On the issue of "North American Routes" however, TSW has already...
Not saying it doesn't exist...just that I find it perfectly playable and acceptable....you do not. That's the point. It's not "complete" for you....
So you admit steam does exist in TSW...just not the EXACT steam features you want? If TSW won't do it, and the other companies ARE potentially...
Isn't the ES-64 a Eurosprinter just like the 1116, which you can already get on Voralberg? How different are they? I really am not into...
There’s not much ON the roadmap for me to be excited about. The Fife improvements… should happen anyway. Be nice to know what the “New UK Route”...
It's not NY that's fictional. You're thinking of Australia. We all know that's too weird to exist ;-) j/k
Because they've said they can't DO steam with the current game system. It would require a whole new game system design, essentially a new game. Do...
I have no experience in how hard it is to "port" over things to console, but it seems like it'd be easier for RRO and RR and expand to Xbox or PS...
Valid point. What console? Maybe that's where the focus should be... bringing those games to consoles? Does TSC use the same Simulgraph that...
I'm not an audiophile by any means, nor an expert on trains. If it "seems" fine, it's okay. It just has to "fit." Diesel engine needs to sounds...
Nothing serious, I'm just curious how people play the game and why. There's so much discussion in individual bits that I'm wondering more...
The argument that "people aren't playing steam because it's not good enough" seems counter-logical. In any other "sim" you judge interest by if...
It truly is about expectations...your PERSONAL expectations about value. I look at it from my perspective since it's my money and time. I ask...
100%. The assets are already THERE. They worked to create them. Why not use them? Much, much easier to use existing content better compared to...
Currently.... yes. That's been made clear. I thought the whole question was "if it could be done"?
I'd probably be able to open my own dev studio and hire people to make routes myself if I was a millionaire.
For myself, I guess it depends on what you like. Railfans WOULD enjoy sitting at a station running signals or whatever... since many admit they...
Having played a couple services now on the route, I think it's not half bad. I'm just a casual compared to a lot of folks here, but I like it. The...
Oh ok, so the one that opens.... next week? Wow that's pretty timely! I really do like the 150 and 170 series (sorta same thing?) They're a nice...
Must be a British thing. We just call them "maintenance" over here. Or "track maintenance" as opposed to say "vehicle/shop maintenance" or...
"Route extensions" vs "modular routes" seem very similar. I can see the difference in theory, but in practice.... "modular routes" over time would...
Separate names with a comma.
