Poorly optimised code. Trying to make the game engine do too much (FSN says, “hi”). The TSW5 2D map which running under the hood seems to impart a...

Well if this comes to fruition, absolutely fantastic news. Day One for me. Edit: Let’s hope it has some sort of structured timetable or schedule...

Away from the S&C for a moment, another curved ball for JT would be South/West Yorkshire coal. Inspired by the SIAM Aire Valley traffic simulation...

Yes I have used that feature to drive one of the London new Routemaster buses around the Yorkshire Coast map. When I could get OMSI2 to work of...

But who will live longer?! The person who spends 12 hours sat in front of a PC with cholesterol hardening the arteries and the muscles atrophying...

Complete with buffet car steward picking their nose and smoking a roll up (hasten to add I do neither!) greeting customers with “Whadda you want?” :)

Perhaps a Jinty or ex LMS/BR Standard tank loco with a few more wagons or some local coaching stock for SoS/PFR.

Doesn’t help the 1st June is a Sunday but it would be useful to know what they are so when I fire the game up later, I can select what to do...

Very true. If I’m lucky I get an hour or so after tea, then about 45 minutes before bedtime to indulge my hobby. Maybe half an hour on the PS5...

Yes, there’s been a couple of threads recently where being able to substitute anything from the loco to the entire train on a timetable run -...

Is it me or the objectives for June not been posted up yet? After navigating the labyrinth/mess that the Dovetail Live web page is, nothing...

Well there is Run 8 for North America, though you have to want to enjoy 2003 level graphics and an e-commerce system which is about the least...

Then modern is driving from letterbox view Sprinters, so a real “Hobson’s Choice”…

As discussed earlier in the thread though, S&C in the early to mid 80's was a traffic desert with just a handful of trains in each direction. Not...

If they did the Met, an appealing option might be to cover the transition period from the A60 to the S stock. I personally don't like the S stock...

There’s also an inherent inaccuracy on all TSW German routes, including this latest one, that the sim doesn’t impose the signalling speed at the...

We already have classic era NTP in TSW which covers much of the route from Leeds to Manchester. DTG are unlikely to duplicate this and suggestions...

To be brutally honest the last couple of Roadmaps were fairly bland anyway. There probably isn't much to say as any internal efforts are directed...

Just thinking that after reading no streams. Maybe as others have said, adding some final polish or last minute snagging that arose.

:D:D

Excellent. Promoting it up my wishlist.

I think it depends on the game and ultimately the caveat with all software is that you don’t really own it, you’re just buying a licence to play -...

Any more thoughts/reviews on this? In my wishlist for an eventual sale purchase but good to get some opinions in the meantime.

I do own Fernbus though not currently installed as it played like the quintessential Aerosoft title -i.e. close but no cigar. However I have seen...

Without going too far off topic, tanks might have been fearsome when first invented but with the advent of armour piercing anti tank munitions you...

Re Settle & Carlisle, ironically this is a route which would be best set back in the era no developer wants to touch, the late 50’s and early 60’s...

Only real feedback is… zero interest. And to repeat if they want to do Thomas properly, they need to task the route building department with...

Run 8 also gives you fully working hump yards at Barstow and West Colton, plus numerous industry spurs to service (with or without the enhanced...

No it’s not that scenic, fairly flat across the Cheshire Plains. A fair percentage of the route is already in SoS, from Crewe to Weaver Jn....

I kind of doubt DTG would touch LIRR again after the adverse reaction from many quarters to running with safety systems always on.

Sadly that one will have to wait for an upgrade or new PC! Needs a minimum of 6Gb GPU. When I tried the demo even the menu was running at 2FPS! So...

Out of curiosity then, how would you regard to physics of, 1. Run 8 and 2. Zusi 3 in comparison to what TSW can offer via Simugraph? My personal...

Still existing loco though which most of us played to death and a 47/4 to boot which would rarely be found on freight workings. Should be a (non...

The opposite, actually. When I’ve been involved with beta testing (not any DTG product) the process was repetitive and more than a bit...

A possibility but Preston to Crewe isn’t really far enough. Preston to Birmingham perhaps? Also if WCMLoS and, when it eventually turns up, the...

Yes two or three trains a day on the S&C as BR wanted shot of it. Depending on the exact era a bit of freight though mostly overnight with a...

Early 80’s would still be the Class 310’s with the odd 312 on services within the WMPTE area. The Class 304’s had pretty much gone by then.

Something else… Perm any one from:- North Wales Coast, Chester to Llandudno and Holyhead. Furness Line, Lancaster to Barrow maybe extending around...

True enough, I mean I don't have a problem with it myself other than it's yet another boring Class 66 hauled consist (the loco, not the wagons and...

Oh yes it's extremely annoying - they did it with Boston Sprinter too, every run in the winter and most in a howling blizzard. But they should...

Another factor is that TSW pretty much relies on real world data, DEM/LIDAR for terrain and mapping overlays, to create routes. That’s probably a...

Would be a beautiful run for sure but, 1. DTG would need to overcome their hiatus for both US freight railroads and anything more than slightly...

And the Class 86 pack… CP4 probably something I would pick up in a sale. And while noting the military equipment has been nerfed somewhat, still...

Also Free Roam doesn’t get you any AP, for those who are bothered by that.

I quite like AVL but for goodness sake, whoever compliled the Journey Mode this is not typical Southern California weather (AVL 221 Part 2)....

Strange though it may seem, one of the most absorbing experiences to me is the Azuma on ECML, even though I hate the things IRL (well the GWR...

Not sure, think at least one possibly two are 3.0. The thing is, I would need to get an external HD anyway if I do replace the PC as there’s too...

I think they generally try not to be too route or region specific, so as not to exclude those who may not have many of a particular type. I mean...

Well yes and in line with what I mused on, bouncing along a heritage railway at 25 MPH with all the tactile feel and atmospheric smells (steam or...

So, time to speculate what the June Mastery will be. I reckon… 500 miles/800 km driven. 300 passenger station stops made. The usual 15 pick up a...
