Boy, even a simple request like "just say something nice" can't be honored without making sure to insert caveats, or making the nice bits the...
Brilliant idea! Can someone with Blender skills make a Train Sim World Cup trophy?
That's a great idea! Providing that, at least in my case, "if they need a bit of help from the art team" can mean "must be completely carried by...
Maybe the invisible walls could be replaced with caution tape. [ATTACH]
[nods in agreement]
While walking the length of a couple of routes, I fell through the ground once or twice. Possibly the invisible walls were put up because that...
Turns out Metra does the holiday train thing too. [ATTACH]
I don't know anything about Australian capital cities, but I'll vote for Toowoomba as the city that looks best in all caps, because it looks like...
Upside is, it's much easier for people to use; downside is, it takes more of your time.
This is a good idea for a thread, StrikeEagle78. Will you be able to collect the responses into the first post for ease of reference?
The popularity thing is the problem. I once advocated for a yard task DLC on a stream, since Matt's a shunting fan also, but he said the audience...
Blacknred81 Those are beautiful, thanks!
The CTA's holiday train is now out and about. Do other cities and countries have holiday trains around this time? And do cultures that don't...
I didn't buy TSW3 until the recent Humble Bundle offering, so I haven't paid as much attention to the DLCs. Are there any must-buys that should...
Saw speculation elsewhere that the patch update was empty of files, which caused the existing files to be deleted. IIRC there's been more than...
Somebody will complain that the sim toilets are much too clean compared to real life, and then you get the words "toilet" and "immersion" in the...
In this case, Cities: Skyline 2. The article looks into causes of optimization issues, business reasons for the release, and the difficulties of...
Yesterday morning, an inbound CTA Yellow Line train rear-ended a snow remover going in the same direction on the same track. About three dozen...
Oddly, for me PSN showed Rapid Transit as "Free", both the TSW2/3 and TSW4 versions. Grabbed the former as I do also have the PS4 version of...
I'd really like to be able to assemble and run the record-breaking train of 8 AC6000CW locos and 682 ore-filled cars (7.3 km long, 99,734 tonnes)....
Let's find out. [ATTACH]
DTG has stated that licensors absolutely do not want things like derailments happening. Even seemingly small things like weathering can be...
I remember one studio messing with pirates by having the game's guns fire chickens if it was detected as a pirated copy. Maybe DTG could go...
DTG's been quiet enough on the save front that a dedicated thread was a good idea anyway.
Whoops, Mea culpa. I was thinking PS4 in my post and didn't know about the PS5 version, as I don't have that system yet. Thanks for posting a...
TSW2's physical disk release for PlayStation (which I got as a backup but never installed) was entitled the Collector's Edition and includes the...
I never thought of this usage, but that's a really good point. Being able to save created free roam setups would be very nice. It's a hassle...
Maik has written many posts in response to people's assumptions that go into detail about the process, in an attempt to inform. I just think it's...
I'm guessing it would be necessary to get a single save slot working before they can think about several. :-) IIRC, the broken save issue...
I didn't say it was a misinterpretation, which it wasn't; I said it was a misrepresentation, which it was. 0 for 2 on accuracy now. Agreed, it...
Maik didn't call the customers idiots, he called himself one. The above misrepresentation is the kind of outright falsehood in the service of...
So at the current exchange rate, I'm only 46 British years old. That makes me feel better.
No, just trash talk. :cool:
Very late answering this, but Metra's Milwaukee District West line runs between Chicago (Union Station) and Elgin.
I like the "DTG All Nighter" entry, and that it's the cheapest coffee on the menu. Cowboy coffee?
Humble Bundle has just released a bundle of 50 Unreal Engine asset sets--3D models, mocap animation, and music. Some specify UE4, some UE4, and...
IIRC, Matt talked in a TSW3 stream about the reasons for beefing up the recommended specs while leaving the minimums pretty much the same. I...
The engine is just the engine, nothing more. The core game has been updated and recompiled, and the DLCs are also recompiled. That's why you...
Write caching is just using RAM as a buffer to reduce the overhead of disk operations. The difference is probably much smaller with SSDs, but it...
I thought compatibility was supposed to work in both directions. Buy a "compatible" route, and you can download that route for any version of the...
In what world does DTG cutting features make any sense at all? I can't even see that as a trust issue, just someone's invention somehow being...
Fawx's comment is what I was thinking. DTG isn't going to support multiple versions of a route any more than they can support multiple versions...
When DTG releases a new version of the game with new features, some people loudly complain about paying for "the same game" and aggressively...
Not controversial so much as the route being over 2400 miles long, so the development time and expense makes it unfeasible. Maybe once the...
Saw a YouTube clip of the Foo Fighters playing in England, and they brought out middle-aged Rick Astley for a pretty good hard-rock version of...
It's always a mistake to put those numbers down in writing where you can see them.:o
It seems a safe assumption that when DTG looked for a new engine to create their alternative to TSC, they settled on UE because it was the best...
Optimization is one of the mantras people like to chant, but if you don't know exactly why it's stuttering on your system, and don't have access...
Reminder: When people complained (rightly) about the broken save feature, DTG removed that from TSW3 before release until it could be fixed up....
Separate names with a comma.
