Not sure I'd call it more than TSW5.2. The two routes I've driven so far ( Riviera, Morristown ) are an improvement over last year. I'm in no...
I remember the first time I played Sand Patch (or CSX Heavy Haul as it was back then ). It was a revelation. Still is. Yes the game is " bigger...
Perhaps my pov is colored by my childhood and teenage memories of well meaning and hard working parents who simply could not afford expensive...
Yes, your GPU is going to be the problem going forward. I had that card many years ago when it was thought very capable. You have enough Ram,...
I see a lot of posts exhorting 8th gen players to upgrade to 9th gen or even PC, but the truth is that those who can afford to upgrade have...
I'm also someone who doesn't give a monkey's about achievements, mastery and collectibles. But that really doesn't have anything to do with the...
About a year ago I bought a 34" curved widescreen. I have a 4k monitor that's capped at 60 fps, but I like the widescreen more so I'm happy to...
Well, I guess there's no objective measure of loading time or performance. Everyone sees to be having a different experience. As I said above, I...
No difference in either loading time or gameplay. It is taking me longer to navigate the UI though. I'd like to dial that back a few years.
Bad language is not welcome in the forum and I would suggest you clean up your post before a moderator reads it. The word " lazy " has become...
Yes, Rush Hour should be the model for the annual mgr. Truth is, though, we can complain 'til we're blue in the face, but, as long as we all...
And number them correctly of course.
Oh I'm disappointed. I haven't played the German route yet and I was looking forward to seeing lightning inside the passenger cars. :D
This is a bit disappointing. Plus all the pictured Dash 8's seem to be C40's. Are there any C41's in the pack?
Oh dear, you really think so?
I'm very impressed with Morristown ( the only route I've played so far ). But I can't join the love fest while there are still so many issues...
There's a constant battle between Amtrak and the Class 1 freight railroads ( who own most of the trackage other than the NEC ) for priority,...
Reminiscent of the Q1 scenarios in S&D ( TSC ) plus real military convoys.
Surely not. 30 squ.km is a rectangle of 6km x 5 km or 3km x 10 km etc. or a square with each side whatever √30 is.
Yes it's the " ghost horn " of Sand Patch Grade. It fades away and then mysteriously returns unbidden.
Hate to spoil your morning, but the " promises " you mention are long lost to history. Don't expect them to be addressed in this millenium. Such...
Yes, when the horn is sounded, the bell will also sound on US locomotives, as a safety meaure.
Yes, the new routes may be better than those that came with TSW5 last fall, but the core game is about the same. The new " features " don't seem...
With all my dlc installed, I haven't noticed any better optimization compared to TSW5, but then it's always run pretty smoothly on my machine...
I had to chuckle at the on board announcement on the Arrow III. In the scenario " Tucked In ", Milburn was a waypoint, but was announced as the...
Yes, it does take some getting used to. I start with the scenarios and I'm running the Arrow III ones first. The brake handle is straightforward...
I usually just hit CNTRL+ ENTER. Works for all my UK trains.
Yes I unticked all the German dlc for the same reason, partly to save download time and also because I'm short on drive space until I uninstall...
Given all the work involved with installing TSW6, I fully expect all my existing bugs to be updated to the new standard. Some of them are very...
That doesn't absolve DTG from producing a variety of old and new, steam, diesel and electric traction. Just trains' is limited to maybe one or two...
The poll result does not surprise me at all. You just have to look at DTG's recent output to realize that the majority of current players prefer...
When you say you've unticked everything, do you mean TSW5 or 6?
Deluded? Oh I think we all know ( well, all but one of us ) that DTG is playing to the gallery and that the rest of us are fighting a lost cause....
Yes that " 5 " does have a lot of sharp edges. Will be glad to see the dust settle behind it. Unfortunately, some of the irritating bugs and...
Traditionally, DTG have drawn a line under each iteration of TSW as a new one launches. I believe this was explicitly stated starting with TSW3...
I agree that Just Trains might have set this route back to a more engaging era with better rolling stock. And it likely would.have done well in...
Good advice. However, trying to remember which route's locos layer on to which other routes makes it a kind of chess game. Wading through DTG's...
Agree absolutely. Like everything else these days, money talks. I'm still undecided between 1. FSP + Morristown + ALP45DP ( $57 ), 2. Standard +...
Wow. A few months ago, I took Amtrak from Chicago to Washington DC for about the same price ( c700 miles ). Actually flying would have been even...
Don't forget to claim your free TSW6 starter pack soon. Then you can wait as long as you want for dlc. ;)
If a train, especially an electric train, seems too quiet, my first instinct is to open the cab windows, even in the dead of winter. This also...
Had to start a thread on this after finally watching the stream. What a fantastic preview. The route looks about as good as it gets, almost...
Might add that this experience could serve as a cautionary tale for DTG that this annual upheaval might not end well next time. Time to ditch...
Enough with the petty quarreling please. Don't want an interesting thread closed.
Yes, if I were an Epic player I might be cautiously optimistic. But there's a vagueness there, isn't there? On a general level, none of us on any...
Me too ( might be 9/30 ). Preview streams and screenshots are fine, but the proof is always in the pudding when you actually eat it.
It's a very short section of NEC, even by TSW standards ( about the same length and express times as WCML South ), so to make it interesting there...
Yes, it would appear that US freight has been largely abandoned, even though the American railroad is overwhelmingly a freight railroad. Along...
I think the most frustrating aspects of this flat out refusal to address the save feature are: 1. the lack of an explanation as to why. And 2....
I'll just reiterate these questions, because they're the ones I very much wanted to ask myself. Another, earlier era would have been the...
Separate names with a comma.
