Major difference is that TSW is a kind of RPG, you are first person. You can enter or dismount from any loco, explore the world on foot, be a...
I agree, it's a very cool loco. That hybrid control desk makes it unique. Unfortunately it's missing the one feature that dooms its future...
That's the point, isn't it. How long will it be before we have enough NA routes and locomotives to make it worthwhile for High Iron or some other...
This is similar to what Stujoy called a "secret pricing strategy". However, the target player for this pack is someone like me who already has the...
Oops, Clinchfield comes with an SD40. Still, comparison will be interesting, though the Dash2 is slightly longer, I think.
Interestingly, both Clinchfield and Cane Creek will come with an SD40-2. That will make three liveries for this locomotive. Will be intriguing to...
If you have more than one locomotive, there is a set-up procedure you need to follow. There are many threads on the forum to take you through...
It's a 12 volt adapter brick connected to a standard 2 pin 115 volt plug, only required for the subwoofer. Otherwise, works from USB. I've...
I must admit I've always wondered why the price of dlc for both TS and TSW hasn't changed over the years. If they announced a price increase...
Many of the posts on this thread have been way overly dramatic. Some have been downright foot stamping childish (or maybe they were children, who...
Of course. And I would point out that Metra Chicago- Aurora already exists in TS20XX. Originally done as unbranded, branding was added by a 3rd...
Metra is unlikely because of licensing. Not sure about South Shore though, it's owned by NICTD.
Please, please, can this thread die a natural death. Anyone who cared knows the secret was steam. Enough already.
If I include steam, I would nominate the SP Streamlined GS4.
I'd have to go with the Amtrak P42 Genesis. A powerful, sleek looking workhorse.
Functional MFD's have been included on some locomotives, e.g. AC4400CW and the British EMD type 66, so it's certainly possible. I guess DTG just...
Aside from the scenery, which speaks for itself, the thing I liked most about the TS version was the great selection of locos and especially the...
Looks suspiciously like the LIRR.
Yes, I and others have reported this, particularly on SPG. I doubt that a bug fix is in our near future though.
You have my sympathy, but would you kindly stop sending all that cold air south. We're freezing to death here in the Midwest.;);)
I have bought all my dlc for TSW2 on sale, and I have everything except SEHS and LGVM. I will probably break that rule for Clinchfield and Cane...
In TS20xx, we got four locomotives, F7A/B, GP7, GP38 and SD40. For TSW, we're only getting the SD40 and F7's. Too bad, but let's hope additional...
Look at the lead and front trail units. They're almost certainly running back to back, just like the two helpers. If you've set them up correctly,...
The advantages of SSD's are faster read/write times, greater efficiency and reliability. They do not directly improve FPS, but the faster loading...
Strange why he would choose to sit there, the train doesn't look that crowded.
The silence of the player train in all the streams I've watched is so unrealistic, almost surreal. I have pretty high-end audio and I can't even...
I'm really not sure where this obsession with long routes comes from. The routes we have so far are what, 50 miles max approximately. Would SPG be...
Thanks a bunch.
I don't have this route yet, I'm still on the fence, but I have watched and listened to all the streams, including today's. And, try as I might, I...
Yet, if you get out of the driving cab and walk/run to the back of the train, you can hear the helper engines idling, if I recall correctly.
I'm curious. I've only used my Raildriver on the SPG locos so far and haven't needed to calibrate separately. Do you need to individually...
When Steam downloads an update, some files are deleted, some are replaced or overwritten and some new files are added. Sounds like your downloads...
I'm very tempted to buy this route because of the new grade crossings, water textures and the great looking cab, but I too am somewhat turned off...
Well, while you're waiting, you could buy TS2021 which includes Clinchfield among other routes. That version is excellent and will only serve to...
Someone asked DTG Protagonist that same question on last week's roadmap stream and, putting on his poker face, he said something like "it's coming...
Not sure what you would see if you connected an Xbox to a PC, because they run completely different versions of the Windows OS. And TSW only runs...
I should have added that after buying unbranded locos in TS20XX, there is usually a 3rd party source which would add the logos aftermarket in...
I really like this route, even though I consider it to be somewhat unfinished. The activities are quite varied, including the challenging propane...
Not sure whether the unique version of Windows 10 that runs on X Box is compatible. And PS4 can't run Windows at all I believe. You might need to...
Even though I purchased unbranded locos in TS20XX, I wouldn't do so now. I agree with those who say it reduces authenticity.
Of course the banking com is nonfunctional in the C40-8W anyway.
Oh me too. People are still reporting problems with SPG that were reported as fixed in the November Roadmap release notes. I pretty much ignore...
Like any other accessory, they will wear out or malfunction, but only after many years of use. Certainly not like it does on SPG, that's very...
Who knows? Eventually, it stops working completely and then, like the Flying Dutchman, it slowly comes out of nowhere, completely detached from a...
Yes, it does that. Happens at all speeds for me. Doesn't seem to affect gameplay, though, so I just ignore it.
The fix for this and other issues for Y103 were listed as "released" as of the roadmap of 11/24/20. I haven't looked at this service recently but...
This was almost 2 years ago, but I doubt if anything's changed.
It's a well documented bug across all platforms. There are several threads on this. A fix has been promised, but when no-one knows.
Something's wrong. I had to log in twice today. That shouldn't be necessary.
I'm amazed and disappointed that so few people care about the poor water textures in the game. From my perspective, it's a real spoiler in many of...
Separate names with a comma.
