They gave out some mixed messages. Someone seemed to recall Matt saying it would primarily be of interest to those who didn't have the locos. I...
Me too. I'm a dyed in the wool button-pusher, knob-twister and switch-clicker if ever there was one. I'd go for a cold, dark start if I could find...
I'd be interested in this too.
Fair enough. I probably should have said "traditional" or "loco hauled", but I think most people will get my meaning.
You won't find that sentiment in anything I've ever posted.
Yes, this is the perfect opportunity for DTG to buck the trend and issue a complete and detailed manual to accompany the route.
That's a fair comment. It's still buy or don't buy though, is it not?
Yes, it's quite a bit more than TS packs. If you think that's too much, vote with your wallet, and maybe that will change in the future. I hate to...
I think many players, especially those on consoles, may be unfamiliar with the concept of "scenario packs", which have a long and successful...
It's not fundamentally different from the scenario packs that DTG have been publishing for years in TS202X. They add substantial gameplay to...
Looking at the advanced controls menu, I think the locos were on the list. Check it out. Edit: Ah, I see you have.
Yes, my mistake, the dynamic brake on the C40-8W is working normally. So SPG seems to be fine, but, last I checked, the Penn Corridor EMD locos...
It's worth pointing out that the Clinchfield was remarkable for being a very well engineered railroad and, apart from brief periods in its...
That's exactly why I play this game. I feel sorry for those youngsters who never really experienced real trains hauled by real locomotives. At...
Having played the TS202X version from the beginning, I knew the scenery would be stunning. I was most interested in the F7 cab and it looks very...
On yesterday's stream, it was mentioned that Clinchfield had run into a hiccup or two. Apparently, it was sent back to make some last minute...
I can confirm that the dynamic brakes work fine on the SD40-2 and GP38 but not on the C40-8W on SPG. On Penn Corridor, they do not work on either...
This is all very confusing. I'm going to run a thorough check on all the EMD locos on PC just to satisfy my curiosity. I heard on the stream that...
You know, I don't know about other routes, which I usually complete in one session, but they must have fixed SPG, because I've been saving and...
It's hard to tell these blue liveries apart with my tired old eyes. I'm reminded of the GP40 at the B&O Museum in Baltimore, which is beautifully...
And properly working dynamic brakes, unlike the CSX version currently, though the grade profile on Cane Creek will be different than SPG.
It will do well, I think. I took a drive on the HST yesterday, and while the route is still solid, it's looking a bit dull and long in the tooth....
Looking at this roadmap, is Clinchfield any closer than it was last time? It looks like Arosa has moved above it in the standings, which is fine...
I think this is very likely, since you only replied to him this morning. He would not have had time to address the problem.
I wondered about this when I saw the update which mentioned "pin 19". Is this related to the dynamic brake problem? Well, either way, if the...
That's my thinking too. Oh well, we'll see what happens. I'll be tuning into the stream this afternoon, maybe it will get a mention. I'm not yet...
Thanks, very nice!
The thing that strikes me about both SPG and Clinchfield is that they both possess a kind of timelessness, partly because they're both rural and...
Four days of streaming for this event. That's a lot of time slots to fill. Any guesses as to what routes and dlc's will be featured? Of course...
I guess it's the freight services that were ready, but missed a deadline for inclusion and will follow "shortly" after launch, if you have the...
Started a new thread on the PC forum just in case. I'm not sure anyone's looking in here.
Something, possibly in a recent update, has disabled the dynamic brakes on all EMD locomotives, making it impossible to enjoy SPG and Penn Corridor.
Got to believe that at least one of the CM's has read this thread; it would be nice to see some kind of acknowledgment of the problem. It is a...
I'll delve into my library when I get a chance and do some more research on this subject.
No, the original purpose of building the railroad was to exploit the Virginia coalfields and to transport the coal to South Carolina, Georgia and...
Also, count yourself fortunate that you played this scenario after it was "fixed" by removing the half that didn't work right. Many of us were...
A cynic might say that veteran members can be counted on to support the game whatever problems arise, whereas new players have to be pampered so...
If you also have the brake valve set to "freight" and MU2A to "Lead or Dead" on the lead loco, you should be good to go. I recall this is done on...
Clinchfield 12pm day of release. I'm tempted by Arosa, but still undecided. I must say the wait for these routes is long. In fact, the pace of...
It's too perfect. Nobody pours concrete that smooth. It's also too clean, looks like you could eat lunch off of it.:D
Must admit, the more I see of this route, the more my interest is piqued. Love those window shades in the passenger cars. One question: what is...
Sorry, I thought I was quite clear. If there's a problem with the 465, I hope it gets fixed soon. I was referring to the problem with EMD locos on...
Very perceptive of you. I hadn't noticed that.
I can give you a number of examples that would suggest otherwise. The most recent would be the breaking of the dynamic brakes on EMD locos. A much...
I agree that you shouldn't tag staff members, but I also understand the frustration that might cause people to do it. The Technical Reports post...
There's some profanity and quite a lot of inappropriate and tasteless comment on the forum that seems to go unnoticed by the moderators. If it's...
The bursts of radio chatter on SPG are a little annoying, because they're unintelligible. Some understandable chatter, no matter how brief, might...
For what it's worth, the setups for all the F7 scenarios on the TS202X version of CRR are A-B-B-A. If DTG sticks with that, it's a straightforward...
Yes, tried it myself on PC and the dynamic brakes do not work at all on the GP38 and SD40 locomotives. Should we press the panic button?
After I posted this, I recalled that, in response to an earlier thread, DTG said that higher prices would not change the quality of their final...
