Will have to agree to differ. Scenery wise going to Leipzig from Riesa was a borefest in TSC, but I will be fair and await final judgement once I...
Further to my earlier questions: While noting the popularity of the South Devon Line it seems a curious choice for the debut of the Class 802 when...
Thanks for that, my hopes of running a Pannier tank on the Dartmouth or Buckfastleigh Line evaporated on watching the Direct stream last night....
Epic today, Steam or PSN tomorrow? There must come a point at which the other platforms call "enough is enough" and call time on the annual...
Okay to start the ball rolling… Core updates and features. Why nothing on the Save Game? More and more content but still only one save slot. More...
Probably Day One for the 140. As noted the era is a bit fuzzy, but would this route have seen UIC coaches on D trains? We sorely need them in TSW.
It’s strange because their TSC portfolio is quite widely spread, albeit they have done a similar exercise with their MML and West Of England...
Then it looks like they have to wait for a sale, unfortunately. As I just posted above a very poor marketing decision. I mean I was borderline on...
TSC can be very fickle though and is now in (low) maintenance mode from DTG. High detailed routes can CTD on you, load into a saved game and find...
Given the price rise compared to last year a rather poor decision. I mean, I’ve ordered Deluxe for the PC but for PS5 I might have been tempted to...
I presume at some point a formal Q&A thread will be posted by DTG. My biggest single question at this stage has to be, in return for parting with...
Yes we know how the JT business model sometimes works from their TSC stuff, notably the Met Line where you had to buy the stock separately. I...
There’s actually quite a lot of CD stock in Trainz, including the various “Grumpys” all of which have original, noisy, sound sets. So at the risk...
Also hauled passenger stock, assuming the 750’s will not just be on freight. IIRC there are numerous types of CD coaching stock, some UIC style...
Funnily enough was thinking about this after listening to the reveal. Absolutely has to be correct as per the Rule Book/Operation Group Standards...
South Devon as expected and will be iconic. Despite being a bit of a closet Cucumber fan, feel though it will be wasted on this route and should...
In some ways disappointed JT didn’t do this route and AA did Crewe to Preston. Would have been ideal opportunity to bring in a Class 304 and/or 310.
It will be some sort of AI generated function, I guess. With scores of compatible route and thousands of train service and stopping patterns it...
This to me is actually the second highlight of Direct (South Devon being No.1). I just hope DTG have learned from the eternal wait for Tadami and...
Very true, I remember years ago going down to Dawlish with the wife and walking on the sea wall, but going towards Teignmouth it just fizzles out...
Further to my initial comments… still mixed feelings though if the aforementioned freight flows are well represented that could sweeten the deal....
South Devon line will be good, Rivet concerns notwithstanding. However for people of my generation it would have been much nicer set in the BR...
Oh that is hellfire! However I do hope their 750 will use the older sounds prior to the exhaust being fitted with more silencing. In their...
Just enough to convince me to pre order the Deluxe pack, which I note has increased in price by £5 over last year even though one of the routes is...
Black swans on the river and the clotted cream ice cream parlour on the corner? Ah, my cholesterol test beckons. You probably can’t say or maybe...
My hot take on the situation too. The one thing it does do is put to bed the claim that route extensions aren’t possible. But that said, why not...
It depends how well they do the sounds and if a few liberties are taken for the sake of entertainment. While the route west of Exeter is...
Funnily enough I was thinking that myself while brushing my teeth, of all things. This ought to be the new traction JT offer with the route or as...
Something I have pondered recently. We can only hope lessons have been learned from WCMLS and CCN with a much tighter oversight as regards quality...
Just so long as it's period correct and we don't get on train announcements on TVL< NTP or the steam routes!
Day One for me with that traction. Hopefully the diesels are modelled before the rebuild with more efficient silencing. From audio I’ve heard of...
It did but wasn’t much better. Then announced it was getting revisited but since nothing. Hopefully the new sound set from the GWR one will be...
It’s shorter and far less scenic than the Shap route. More railway interest with the yards at Warrington and of course Crewe, just looks as if JT...
Damp squib for me too. Relatively short and scenically uninteresting section. I know as discussed previously the service pattern in the 80’s on...
Well I've preordered anyway as I do have a soft spot for the Cucumbers and the Voyagers may be hell to travel on IRL (even Matt had to bite his...
I just hope the Voyager gets a decent sound set as the DTG one in TSC was frankly a bit naff and we know the 802 will be a quiet train as the end...
Going back three or four years could have given us a Class 25.
I still would rather have seen some Save Game improvements.
Preston to Crewe is quite a bit shorter than the last route, though in fairness quite a lot of railway. Not watching the stream now so did they...
I turned off the stream before this was announced but will be keeping an eye on it. Let's just hope it doesn't turn into another endless wait like...
Should really be a 221 though, as said in my reply to another thread the 220's are more usually seen on the South Coast route or the Bristol to...
On the core features, random delays very welcome though just hope the signalling and regulating logic has been buffed to deal with it. Big...
Happy to see that those of us who weeks ago pitched the thought it would be Exeter to Paignton and Plymouth were proved right, even down to my...
Oh definitely, part of me is eager to see what’s coming but equally tempered by the fact this is DTG we are dealing with here, masters of talking...
Well they know it would LOVE off a huge portion of their player base so conventional purchase should remain an option. Though as we have seen with...
Which I don’t personally feel a huge affinity for. Don’t use Discord myself and I have established that N3V having done a similar exercise for...
I still want to drive a 309 to Clacton, though!
Bearing in mind they did Fishing to test the water (no pun intended) with UE4 they might do a similar exercise for UE5, rather than betting the...
Not that many people are playing TSC anymore! I had a Facebook post this morning from Caledonia Works about their new 4P tank loco and most of the...
Live or recorded, it matters not. Just wonder 1. How long the broadcast is and 2. The timeline at which the interesting bits will be announced. I...
