Waiting patiently for something is a characteristic in limited supply on the forum. :D

Yes I was thinking of that old model from the original NEC route but it could be any CSX loco, perhaps the Sand Patch GP38-2 or the wonderful...

This is a big problem. If DTG is not willing to use its current stable of freight locos and integrate them into passenger routes, even as AI, then...

That's a reckless idea. I certainly hope that no modder will attempt this. It could put a lot of US routes, including this one, in a perilous...

I get that, but I just wonder if DTG are making a serious effort to acquire these licenses. I don't look forward to US routes which are strictly...

After watching the stream and looking through the screenshots ( which were quite stunning ) I preordered. This was my first purchase since...

Well no. I'm sure I could list a whole slew of products that succeed with a very small customer base. Plus, if train simulators are not...

A wise decision. You may not know this, but polls were actually banned in the forums for more than a year because they were becoming too frequent...

Once again you're getting Economics 101 backwards. It's simply wrong to assume that when companies receive greater revenue, they will...

That's very interesting and something I was unaware of. On the other hand I can tell a Class 66 from an SD70ace in TSW, even though they have...

Is that a " Pope Mobile " I see parked there?

Posting simply for the sake of boosting your presence on the forum wil not do you any favors with the rest of the membership. It's just annoying,...

I bought it on release, ran up and down the line a couple of times, realized how little replay potential it had and promptly refunded it. It is...

Well it would certainly mean that there could be no more new American locos, since access is currently impossible. The other point I would make...

Well, plenty of players seem to love driving those emu's which basically drive themselves as long as you keep your hand on the joystick. It's not...

I'm not sure how many of these " whingeing addicts " there really are but I think many US freight fans would be happy to see more of some locos...

No. In this instance he's drawing reasonable conclusions from what Matt P. has said more than once.

Couldn't have put it better myself. The only reason I can think of why this isn't being done is that it's not profitable. And there's nowhere to...

Well every time this question comes up my answer is the same ( so far ). British Rail Class 101 CN GP9RM Class 20 ( last minute addition ).

Well I don't know much about the Lincoln branch, but my recollection of the Doncaster-York stretch is a snooze fest with monotonous scenery. But a...

But from what I gather from Matt, Brandon et al., this project involved a huge amount of development work, not even counting the time spent on...

Well, Vern has a theory that DTG are checking the market for this kind of project and he may well be right. If that's the case and LIRR2 does not...

I'll repeat what I've said before. The route has been rebuilt, with extensions and a new loco. For that I think $31-32 is not unreasonable and I...

The only thing I like doing on the ECML is driving freight trains powered by the Class 66. Don't drive that rather quiet one handled emu. I like...

Yes would you guys quit the catfight or take it to a schoolyard somewhere. Getting on my last nerve and I'd like to read the interesting parts of...

Thoroughly agree. I'm currently running the Class 20 timetable layer on Blackpool Branches and having a lot of fun with it.

Frightening!! They can probably tell which brand of coffee sits by my keyboard!! But then again we all know that there is almost no personal...

I have to agree with the general feeling of tedium in TSW. Haven't bought anything in many months. The only thing I'm doing currently is...

Like it. Sounds seem spot on. I feel my Steam wallet waking from a deep sleep. Show me more.

Well, the railway is a very noisy place to begin with and I think TSW struggles to reflect that with most routes and locos. I certainly wouldn't...

The problem with TSW is that it seems to be narrowing its focus towards electric traction to the exclusion of anything else. Maybe the plan is to...

( my bold ) Except where the signalling work is to correct the original messed up signalling as in the case of BPE and NYT which was free to route...

The " ultimate train simulator " cannot exclude continuing steam traction and freight routes. Otherwise we would need to redefine the term "...

Except that some new features like formation designer, editor and suspension physics were supposedly included with the launch of TSW4 were they...

Oh, so do I. I'm all in favor of whining, harping and complaining. That's what got us the restoration of the save game feature and the revised...

Different because US freight has been effectively ditched in TSW but miraculously continues on in TSC, even as we speak.( as does steam )

If you took the best parts of TSC ( editor, steam traction, freight ) with the best parts of TSW ( graphics, timetable, real world walkabout )...

Looking at those specs, it seems to me that both versions are short on memory. Going forward, 16GB of RAM is gonna be a bare minimum for most...

I try to stay under 2 mph when coupling. Any faster and I've found that rolling stock will sometimes bounce apart and make you start over.

My inclination right now is to pre-order the route on the 23rd, but I will take a long, hard look at the previews. Scenery, water textures,...

We've been asked politely by the Executive Producer of TSW to end this pointless discussion of crashes. Can you guys not respect that? Frankly...

Although I'm looking forward to LIRR2, in the cold light of morning I might have preferred something more imaginative like a short line pick up...

So, let me get this straight. Apart from adding a new one- handled emu with a prison- cell windshield, Cathcart will be unchanged, meaning the...

This view might have some weight if this were a recent route. But LIRR is four years old. That's a millennium in gaming. You don't repair a 4 year...

Agree. The idiots and malcontents in the world control what the rest of we law abiding citizens have access to. The freedoms of the socially...

Ah, the EMU. The gift that keeps on giving. I wouldn't be surprised when we go to our rest, we find emus up there too. ;)

Well, I'm going to go against the grain here. Much as I have been critical of DTG recently I'm giving them a round of applause for bringing this...

Honestly, this is looking much better than I expected. And, for those complaining about the price: C'mon folks, LIRR is going on a four year old...

Given the amount of work that's been done on LIRR, it promises to be an entirely new experience. So from that point of view I think a price of...

The big advantage we PC players have is that Steam sales are very predictable and pretty much happen at the same time year after year. So we can...
