Very witty.:D
A CSX pack might well be an SD40-2 and a C30-7 for the early 80's.
Great! That's what I was hoping to hear. It makes the route pretty close to perfect. Now, about that loco dlc.....:)
The route looks absolutely fantastic, the team have really nailed it in my opinion. I was hoping for a release date, but Clinchfield has been so...
Absolutely. Never even crossed my mind.:)
Love those heritage liveries!
I have to say, Sam is certainly a champion of us players, don't you agree? He wasn't putting up with that choppy stream. He's a no-nonsense guy,...
Is it still in service? Where can it be seen?
Apparently it's all ready for release and just missed being included in the pack last week. I guess it depends on your definition of "very soon...
Well, first of all, it's been pretty well established that console players constitute the majority of "stakeholders" in the game. TSW2 might well...
Actually I'm finding the 101 a joy to drive, especially on the Raildriver. I don't know how it handles in the real world, but I think the brake...
I must admit, last night's stream wasn't the best at showing off this route and I have to agree with a lot of the criticism of the scenery, it did...
That's 1500 CDT, 1600 EDT, 1300 PDT. It's always a bit confusing this time of year because the US "springs forward" 2 weeks before the UK.
The route is looking really good at this point, but the biggest problem I see is a real shortage of locomotives. The long, heavy coal trains out...
About one service or scenario most days. But then I do other railroad related activities too, such as reading and watching trains go by.:) The...
I have a black car, it was about $1,000 cheaper than any other color. I can never have silver, because the wife thinks it's an "old person's...
I agree. These two routes are very different and will offer distinct driving experiences, unlike anything we currently have in the game. I was on...
Hmm , let me see. I'm trying to think of the word that you've just so eloquently defined.;)
They mentioned AI several times. I hope this means plenty of trains in passing sidings and holdups for red lights. I would also like to see coal...
Well, boring is a matter of opinion and you have a right to yours. But I'll just point out that the slowest it gets on Sand Patch is about 40 km/h...
This thread is a classic exercise in trolling.
My eyes aren't what they used to be, but I really don't see where it's "terrible". As I said before, I think this is a very well modeled...
It's a really well modeled locomotive and I love to drive it. It just has that one fatal flaw, which would really matter if and when we have a...
Thanks.
I just ran that same scenario and it's fine, but i was struck by the lack of AI trains. I'm not very familiar with the route, but I would expect...
We should learn a lot from Saturday's preview stream, including sounds, rolling stock and the likely release date.
I ignore them. They would just distract me from doing what I really want to do- drive trains. No objection to other players doing them if they wish.
I think it's intriguing that Skyhook are making Cane Creek. They must have had good reasons for choosing a US route, and this desert route in...
Not my logic.
I suppose there will come a tipping point, when the number of next generation consoles exceeds the current ones. How that would be measured for...
Things can look fine and some games are eminently playable at 15fps because the human brain is a wonderful instrument, particularly when it's...
I basically drive the trains with Raildriver when I can, but, even with that controller, a keyboard is essential. Some things can only be done on...
I don't think it's necessary to have two modes. I have managed to ignore things like achievement points, medals, collectables, donkeys, train...
Can we assume that both Arosalinie and Clinchfield will be previewed with release versions?
I went through a famine between December and March. Looks like the feast is almost upon us.
At the risk of being burned at the stake, I'm going to say flat out that I think DTG's prices are more than reasonable, including for this pack. I...
I always use headphones with TSW2, so I can't use the subwoofer. When I did try it with speakers, the effect was fairly minimal and I don't bother...
Amtrak and a segment of the North East Corridor. A Midwest freight route.
Dependencies and prerequisites are clearly listed in the dlc description, if you click on the thumbnail.
Did you mean to exclude commuter rail, LIRR, Penn Corridor?
Well, the hostler controls for the B unit were very rudimentary, so it wouldn't be a full range. In real life, it was under the control of the...
Yes, I've looked at a few routes and locos, and, generally speaking, you're right about the progression from tutorials to scenarios to services. I...
Yes, Raildriver works pretty well with the Class 52. Not every button works, but it will only get better. I haven't tried the Class 101 yet, but...
Ah, that probably explains it. I've completed all the scenarios on all the routes, except the "Legends" pack, but I've done services almost...
I'm wondering which pits and tipples will be modeled in the route. The Blue Diamond is the only one I see in the screenshots. There were others on...
This is something I've thought about mentioning many times. It happens all over the game, but I'll use the "new" Class 52 on GWE as an example....
It's really hard not to get over hyped about this route. We've waited so long for some more American freight, the screen shots look really good...
What's all this about refrigerators and air conditioned cars? Can't leave you guys for two minutes and you go off topic.;) I bought this pack...
I'm very much in favor of cold and dark, as long as it reflects the real world experience of an engineer. If a hostler or other yard staff stop...
Excellent and valuable work . A real keeper.
