The suggestions forum sadly seems to be largely the preserve of 11 year olds posting semi articulate and insufficiently detailed long routes that...
The problem is, if you switch off "F" to stop manual firing, at some vague random point - but far quicker than the fire would burn through IRL...
I guess one advantage they did have over 150's and especially 153's/155's was the relatively large and unobstructed windows to take in the scenery.
Well there have always been disparities between the different platforms. We PC/Steam users are lucky to benefit from at least half a dozen sales a...
It seems to particularly happen after reloading a saved game, though not exclusively which leads me to suspect a core issue - even had it occur on...
Oh I wouldn’t do that myself, but had the usual pre order discount been available, despite my reservations might have given this a try. As it...
I do like the TSC version especially the procedural aspect with station duties, though you can ignore that if you wish. Would suggest if it was...
Think I had one from Exeter to Barnstaple and back during the first period of operation in the WC. Scenic journey but not the best train for the...
And on BBO…
Of course there is one slight flaw in DTG’s new discount marketing approach. Nothing to stop people buying BCC, get the discount on Glossop, then...
Anyone can suggest what they want to see, but it needs to be tempered with realism, in terms of length (don’t expect more than 50 or 60 miles),...
Started a journey run last night, an Up Class 166 stopper in the morning peak. Immediately demonstrates what this route needs. It’s the height of...
Pacers were fine on level, straight welded track though even then at speed you could get a bit of a shimmy. But sharply curved and graded routes...
It certainly was a most curious choice, even down to the partially complete state of the OHLE west of Airport Jn.
Although as I said in another thread (or maybe it was earlier in this one) I do find that somewhat baffling. Heathrow is represented quite...
...just had the magnificent sight and sound of the three RAF Hercules aircraft flying directly over our back garden, on their valedictory tour....
Well there is still the "slight" issue of AI trains not emitting any sound at all. Would be obliged if this could be looked at, with a view to...
Did someone say Pringles… [ATTACH] It’s that time of year again!
Indeed. We have had two steam era routes (though arguably PFR should have been early diesel) and the androgynous WCL but nothing 70’s or early...
So on the assumption that DTG are beavering away on three keynote route releases for the summer, let’s indulge some harmless speculation as to...
Perhaps if it had been a larger Greater Manchester network I could be more enthusiastic. Despite the near empty GLC, Cathcart works because you...
You can save your game...
Actually DTG missed a trick by not including the section of line up to Stockton. Though would probably have drawn the line at running Locomotion...
Don't misunderstand me, I wish those who buy the route get satisfaction and enjoyment from it and I will not rule out buying myself, but only in a...
Of course we have seen this neglect on the American routes too. After finishing on TVL, fired up Clinchfield… Dark and Stormy night trying to coax...
Frankly I find Matt’s comment a little disingenuous. If classic diesel routes or packs don’t sell then how on earth did something like Peak Forest...
Still feel this is a bit of a low hanging fruit effort. Why do we need yet another one train, hopelessly short route when the Suggestions forum is...
I never quite get that one either. After all pick up any version of Flight Sim in recent years and you have a fairly accurate representation of...
Sadly early access can also be an excuse to push out any old unfinished tat then suddenly wash their hands of any further development. I have...
Problem with the Steam version is that you cannot then use MS Store credit to purchase from the Marketplace.
Bought The Bus but not really impressed with it. In addition to the road textures phasing in and out, also getting vertical texture curtains...
Ah yes, shame on me for forgetting that! In all seriousness though, surely there is more money to be made extending and enhancing something like...
Had a great run last night with the Class 31 hauling a dead DMU from Saltburn to Darlington. This route should definitely have been a springboard...
Not sure what fixes are in the pipeline for BBO but this route still has huge issues, especially loading a saved game. Picked up a part finished...
For those who are interested, seems there is an updated MSFS incoming... Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024: The Next Generation of the Legendary...
And why did he have to start a thread in Off Topic when there are several existing threads about Glossop in the main discussion area.
This should be moved to Suggestions forum.
Was contemplating this route for the summer sale and was about to ask if it’s now worth getting, but reading the foregoing seems not. I presume...
Great proposal, always had a soft spot for Southern steam and of course BR Standard locos.
I think this could be more interesting in the Thumper era, especially if set prior to closure of the Tunbridge Wells to Eridge link as a BR route...
I know from my NR TRC days just how busy the Thames Valley could be, even in the off peak or evening. The smallest incident, a track circuit or...
Sitting musing here after breakfast, it occurred to me after DTG generously (!) restored the save game to TSW3, it has gone very quiet about any...
Well I guess we got Peak Forest which kind of addresses the scenery issue a bit, though it’s still no Cambrian Coast, West Highland or Far North...
Being a fan of the SIAM traffic control games (though not the price of some of them :) ), Aire Valley 90 is one of my favourites when you are...
Nice. Count me in if DTG or whoever is doing the sound manages to capture that.
$64k question… What do these Vectrons sound like? Are they the horrible screeching singing of the Traxx family or more conventional electric...
It might be a bit of fun with a Thumper, but an overpowered whisper quiet 171 is about as much fun as driving the Kia Sportage to Sainsbury’s....
In Regional Railways days (the great and good Chris Gibb) there were two daily Brighton services, one ran out from Portsmouth after stabling...
100% agree with the OP. Give it some love, DTG along with the other older UK routes.
I really despair of Rivet. Thought they might have turned over a new leaf but it's the same old story. Where is the testing and why do DTG...
Separate names with a comma.
