Yes cake is a very good analogy. Back in 1765, a very young Marie Antoinette happened upon a group of people playing TSW3. Not being fond of...
The basic question has not been answered. If you're going to release a mixed traffic route, you should include a passenger and a freight loco...
Yes many of us do, but what about new players. Not having a freight layer for first timers seems short sighted to me. And why is the LATC freight...
I'd like to see the " Hiawatha " between Chicago and Milwaukee. About 90 miles 5 stops, Amtrak, commuter traffic and freight. Would need a...
Well, the startup procedure ( if you can call it that ) tells me all I need to know about driving the 800x, viz: reverser to forward, apply power....
Be mindful that the Acela is/was a separate purchase.
Seems like there's a whole lot of stuff we dont get about this route. It's very reminiscent of NYT, a lot of things left out for reasons that...
Well, if you're on PC, Steam at least has about half a dozen sales each year and the older routes often have deep discounts. Most of us wait for...
As I said before somewhere, maybe they think their strategy of requiring ownership of previous routes will lead to new purchases of CJP, SH and...
It's never been publicly announced as official policy, but, since Rush Hour, that's been the norm and players have apparently accepted it with...
Well, gotta take issue with you here, Vern. Sometimes repeating yourself to the point of being annoying can be an effective strategy. I can think...
Really, without PTC, Metrolink doesn't have a modern safety system. Despite what was said about complexity, it really should be part of any...
Absolutely. And I'm a player who spends most of the time outside the cab, leaping ahead or exploring the environment, sometimes on foot. So the...
Exactly my point. Take a drive on SPG or BML and then drive on BCC or Cathcart. See the difference? I think the streamers are just plain...
Well, I pre-ordered the deluxe version and I have the requisite routes, so I guess I'll get the " full monty " with AVL freight. But I have to...
Right, for heaven's sake. Call it what you want, a new game, a revision, an update, whatever. It's a trio of new routes and locos, a plethora of...
If the same people who worked the night lighting on Voralberg and numerous routes in TSW3 did the night lighting for AVL, I think we can safely...
Figures. They are always reluctant to showcase routes at night. Wonder why?
Yes, the more I'm learning about this freight conundrum, the more questionable it becomes. I'll have to watch the full stream to get DTG's...
Of course, but then no one would be encouraged to buy Sherman Hill and/ or Cane Creek, which I suspect might be part of a sale bundle at some...
To give some freight components to those who don't own the layering routes, Sherman Hill and Cane Creek. There are no new freight locos, so you...
Right, I edited my post to reflect that mixture, if you own Sherman Hill, but not Cane Creek. Maybe DTG Alex could offer a clarifying statement??
The way it's worded, with the word " instead " used, those of us who own Sherman Hill and Cane Creek will get the correct UP freight locos instead...
Mm. I haven't watched the Editor stream yet, but scenarios and timetables are on my to-do list. I doubt whether I have either the time or...
Me neither. In fact it's always worked reliably for me. I'd just like more flexibility such as multiple save options.
Yes, if only to confirm that they are still working on the save game feature. My impression was ( and is ) that the reinstatement was just a stop...
This is a recent response from DTG concerning Raildriver.
One of my worst fears with any new route these days. Having seen the dreadful night lighting in Voralsberg, it seems that, once again, after 6...
Personally, I'm not having any problems driving the 2 trains all over the route. I understand that some people are. Not the most absorbing route,...
Well, I'm sure we're all waiting expectantly for this route, but: First of all, don't you think you should wait until the route is released, or...
Well there's a nice Thanksgiving present!
On a related question, I asked in the QA whether the new suspension feature, which is supposed to allow you to " feel " going over junctions and...
Ah, if Metra would just give up that license, it would open up a lot of possible passenger/freight routes in the Chicago and NE Illinois region....
Oh really, and who told you that?
I have to believe that DTG has been asking Metra for a license at least since " The Racetrack " ( 3rd party of course ).
Fine. I've been pushing the Midwest for as long as I've been on the forum ( see my avatar ). I don't seem to have many allies, so I welcome you to...
Nobody minds someone expressing his dissatisfaction and frustration with the product or even the company that makes it. Lots of us do that. What...
Well, that cuts out most any freight and severely limits the geography of any future routes.
No, I think the three that you mention plus the Canadian passes are a bit of a snooze fest, to be honest. I think we need more industrial routes,...
I would jump the queue for the NS Saluda Grade Asheville- Spartanburg. Or is it too similar to CRR?
I really don't think cowboys are morally corrupt. Why, some of my best friends come from the Old West and they've got pretty high standards.
I agree, the night lighting on DRA, which DTG touted as the next best thing, is dreadful, so unnatural. But then the night lighting is awful on...
Sometimes I wish we also had the power to shut down farcical threads before they get started.
You don't say. :)
Fixes for TSW3 routes will be part of the launch package if you purchase some version of TSW4 and download your TSW3 routes. I suppose this...
Watch it, Whiskers. I paw a Raildriver and it's a purrfect way to play. And I know from purrsonal experience, it's way more than 12%.
Not really, there are plenty of Amtrak routes in the Midwest that could be modeled. Most would also have freight components.
" blondy " ??!! ;)
