They said that about VR too. But now....

I think all three of you you're missing my point entirely, but thank you for the offer. I never said traffic was correct...just that it wasn't as...

Which is fine, but again MOST people don't do that level of research or really care. They just want it to "seem right." Same with scenery for...

I'm convinced it can be done by work arounds that don't require tearing the core system up. But, I'm not a developer so I have no clue how much...

I really couldn't say because everyone's experiences seem to be so different. There are people right now running fine, and others calling it...

Wasn't this on 6 different threads already? We get it. You want more US content. Everyone has their "thing." Could you comment on the thread...

I mean... you could play that if you want. Most people still have it installed. It won't work with TSW 5 content is all.

That's JT taking the risk, not DTG. Same could happen with more steam routes. Hopefully.

People can innately pick out what "looks off" even if they don't know why exactly. Not seeing many other trains could be "normal" on a less...

Kinda seems like people are wanting TSW to be other games... so why not just play the other games? Appreciating the differences of sims lets you...

We're just gonna have to agree (for the 17th time) to disagree. They are driven by sales and limited by technology. Sales didn't justify revamping...

Blame or partial responsibility? Putting all the blame on DTG is irresponsible. Actions lead to consequences, intended and unintended. The...

"Thomas no go. You poopyheads fix it." So just like normal.

And 80% is considered an "amazing" sale on older content. A 92% reduction for no reason on RELEASE? Right..... that's some serious pipe weed.

Well yeah there's that, but I don't think steam technology changes that much in principle. Just like a diesel electric is a diesel electric. The...

Can't say until I know more about how much content is in it. It's been very slim on details this far out, so no clue. Could also be "bundled"...

I don't use CC liveries at all now.

The heritage lines local to me are all diesel. All but 2 are over 50 miles too. It's sad because they actually used coal fired steam for a long...

XBox?

The responsiveness to bug reports isn't really relevant to the thread topic to be honest. If DTG uses sales as a barometer of interest, then it's...

Sales figures don't tell you how many people play it regularly. The daily figures are roughly similar across months.

Tough to say exactly. Hundreds of thousands of people have downloaded at least one of the TSW games, but that's not the same as actively playiing...

It's also a spectrum. It's not a light switch. People may have a "tendency" without it interfering with daily activities. It's only when it...

SOS sales weren't great to begin with. So for whatever reason it was.... steam sales were The forum isn't the majority of players. The forum is...

I see constant responses by DTG people on lots of threads and issues. Not sure why you haven't seen any of them. Selection bias I guess.

Which is what I said....

I think it boils down to the diverse player base. If you want to reach out to "casual" players, then you have to accept not being as "fully...

You are welcome to think that.

None of it changes what we can do...which is wait and see what they produce.

So you'd rather not have any steam..... well that'll surely convince them.

I don't know how much work it would require. Opinions vary widely. I just do know that it would take work....on top of the normal work for routes...

That's true of everything in the game. You can only do what the program can do. However, within that limit (which is huge and you CAN do steam in...

That's not "all" what was being asked for. The requests weren't "basic." That's what we have. If not expert, then "medium skill" especially...

You'll have to upgrade anyway since the older consoles will not be supported soon anyway and all new routes will be unplayable.

That would mean it's not really DTG's fault and players who aren't modifying the game won't have that happen. So it's user error?

Nothing is stopping third parties from making whatever they want. DTG just has no plans currently to do it in house. German steam could be...

MSFS planned it from the beginning of their new engine it an online only game. It's also a major part of their draw, not a "would be kinda nice"...

"Hard core" yes. So that makes sense. If about 20-25% of the people are "hard core" and 40% of people want steam...then that tracks. That's 30%...

This. You have to remember that most of your player base are casuals. Not "hard core." The few who complain are mostly hard core because they're...

That's one of those things that sounds easy but is deceptively difficult to do unless you mean to from the beginning.

Maybe it would be more useful posting on an XBox/Microsoft forum about it, since they control the sales?

For the people putting TSW as a 'sim"... I'd say DV is a step above that. It's a pretty steep learning curve but rewarding when you finally figure...

You said you realize it's not DTGs fault... then proceed to blame DTG. Why?

Well yeah, but they're both supposed to be representing the SAME locomotive right?

So could the P42DC do basically everything on all the routes, or would they need multiple Genesis models? I agree that a lot of people would pick...

What's the best friend's name?

Hey, nothing stopping them from expanding it to North America. Bout time Thomas went on a vacation. Thomas Does Dallas. (working title)

Yeah the "instant move" isn't "realistic" I guess but when you have a long train or want to explore it's VERY useful to hop 100 meters or so ahead...

Just curious... how many got into train sims from sims vs how many got into train sims from train spotting/model railroading?
