Yes, as I suggested in another thread, everything else in the universe is expanding while TSW is shrinking. No more steam traction, no more...
I think that route mergers, networking and terminus sharing along with the ability to add branches to existing lines will all come about...
As others have pointed out, it makes no logical sense for DTG, with all their resources and technical experience, to abandon steam traction and...
Good luck with the Lake Shore Ltd. It's only just a little over 1,000 miles. And, as for " high speed " the journey time is only 19-20 hours. Will...
The notion of " console only " anything in TSW is arrant nonsense.
Yes, I haven't commented on this wretched situation wrt US content, because I'm basically speechless. If anything ever materializes ( beyond...
Well, somethings definitely gone awry with TSW. They're not doing steam traction anymore, not doing US freight for the foreseeable future,...
Yes, I watched a cab ride and monotonous it is. And it may be short but it takes forever to get from start to finish. Most of it was at 30 mph.or...
The amount of extra work involved would justify it as a new and separate route. Or do you think that routes should never be done over? If LIRR 2...
" lighting that recreates the suburban atmosphere after the sun has gone down. " Is this to prepare us for black as coal night lighting again?...
Chances are slim to none that DTG would extend any current routes. However, there's nothing to stop them rebuilding a route with a built in...
Widely known only to you I guess, along with Marias and Donner.
If you're talking sales, I already suggested that such a train set would likely be very popular this side of the pond and maybe the other side...
You're very fond of telling us how things are " hard work " or " too hard " for DTG to do. As if the folks in Chatham are terminally tired and...
True. The hassle of flying, even domestically, means that routes like Chicago to Milwaukee, St Louis, Indianapolis and other Midwestern cities are...
If DTG were to make an Amtrak trainset that would run on TSW's current freight routes like Cajon or SPG, I'm convinced it would sell like hot...
Rather tired of reading the words " can't do " or " can't have " in relation to TSW. I've always preferred a " can-do " attitude myself.
The Preservation Team was quite small, as i recall, just 4 people including Adam, the team leader. A 4 person team dedicated to bringing existing...
As would Sand Patch.
Well congrats! You've managed to be fawning and condescending at the same time. No mean feat. I'm not denigrating Matt's efforts in any way....
Perhaps you're right. There have been so many promises deferred ( to use the kindest word ), it's hard to know which of them should be...
What list would that be? I didn't realise we had to choose which promises will be kept and in what order. Anyway, I'll eat every hat in my closet...
It's not meant to be " true ". It's a metaphor for small changes in one area leading to major problems in another. Like someone at DTG solving...
" When a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil it could set off a tornado in Texas. " ---E. Lorenz ( Chaos theory at work in Chatham? ;) )
Actually, ditch lights on North American locos date back at least to the 1960's. The FRA made them mandatory for mainline locos sometime in the...
Well, at a time when US freight appears to have run aground, a Clinchfield reboot at least offers us a straw to clutch. Pity these schemes can't...
Don't be ridiculous.
I think devs are often working alone, either to fix something they've been told to or they're tinkering with things on their own time with...
Yes, the absence of banking com and the awful night lighting are the reasons I rarely play Clinchfield, even though it has great gameplay and the...
Yes, this issue has been raised from the beginning of TSW. I remember a discussion about 3 or 4 years ago and DTG's response was, if I recall,...
Amen to all of that. Despite what our self- appointed spokesperson says, I'm sure Focus is focused on the bottom line and if US freight doesn't...
I said I would leave this topic alone, but I can't help myself. There are lots of possibilities. I've mentioned the Chicago- Milwaukee route...
My anecdotal score in this titanic struggle is: Critics ( Hawks ): 41 Apologists ( Doves ): 41 I'll break the tie by saying that I don't...
I guess you're right. I'm done posting about it. Waste of time and bandwidth.
I'm not sure I agree with this. We don't want to give DTG carte blanche to slap together any combination of routes and locos that lack the kind of...
It's also necessary for safety reasons. There have been cases in recent years where PTC implementation would have prevented accidents and saved lives.
Because you say you live in the US I'm going to assume that English is your first language. Given that, your posts would benefit from some basic...
Well well well!! First we lose steam traction and now US freight. Yes, yes I know it's not officially abandoned, but then neither was steam. I can...
Apparently, AVL and SBL were researched, planned and developed pretty much simultaneously. They released SBL regardless of the success or failure...
So far in this discussion, no-one who wants DTG to abandon gen8 consoles has stated clearly what benefits he or she thinks will accrue to TSW if...
Makes me wish we had a Zusi 3 type sim featuring US routes. I'd probably snap it up.
Anyone who thinks that the problems many players have with TSW are due to DTG's continuing support of gen 8 consoles is naive and misinformed....
Most Americans would see the title " Der Baum " and assume it was a war movie. ;)
Ooh! An all- out tit- for- tat between the detractors and apologists. Love it! Meanwhile, back at the ranch, things are not looking too promising...
Exactly my reaction to the route. The route is dull but well- modeled, but the 385 with the weird sounds and the prison block windshield spoils...
Absolutely. I've reached the same conclusion. $40 is not peanuts these days and there's quite a lot on Steam that tugs at my wallet. Syberia and...
Of course these days The Railway Children would probably contravene the UK Health and Safety regulations. Ms Nesbit would have to relocate the...
Fair enough. Glad we agree.
No, that is just as shortsighted as the post you responded to. Any serious rail enthusiast should be open to railroads from all parts of the...
Separate names with a comma.
