Isn't NTP a diesel/no wires route?

The 80s were great. It was the 70s that were miserable. Except in Lancashire. Lancashire has been gloomy since at least Roman times.

Agree. I still drive TVL rather a lot because the lighting isn't too bad. But NTP seems consistently too dark. Yes, I realize this is gloomy...

Incidentally, this is one of the few pieces of rolling stock on Stuttgart-Heilbronn which will be correct in Verkehrsrot, since they all were...

Well, I think it looks brilliant. Above all, it seems fresh and different, not more of the same; and compared to the Dutch route the scnery is...

If they do undertake a revamp, a new TT with off-map AI services would be a must. This does seem to be the new standard, judging bythe recent...

I think remasters can be a solid business opportunity for DTG. There are more than a couple of older routes that are well regarded and fondly...

It seems to be the case, understandably, that blurry textures (which are caused by visual asset/memory overload) are far more a function of the...

It's all good

Certainly I think we can wonder why DTG cannot seem to manage the quality levels of other studios of similar size. An indie can be allowed a...

I'm sorry, but I think if as customers we are concerned with the quality of the product, then the efficiency of the workforce makes a difference....

True, it predated that patch- but the Leven branch amounts to one stop; I don't really miss it.

At least PC players can get the wonderful mod timetable made by Fawx,...

Good question, but why? Although the 145 has on occasion been pressed into passenger service, it's way too slow for IC services (and I believe...

Agree completely. The nominal date is 1983 but it has a 1970s feel, I don't think forward-looking additions would help the "charm" (hey, the 1970s...

The issue is price- since it's just a fill-in-the gaps train, mostly AI since the services are really too short to drive, I can't see spending...

That is NOT a small indie workforce. That's full-on AA, on par with Warhorse or Larian.

Somebody tell me: How many employees does DTG have? And how many of them are devs?

Surely not Niddertal and Mittenwald?

I am confused. Sir Peter Francis Lewis Bourgeois RA was an English landscape painter and history painter, and court painter to King George III

I would too, but unfortunately the Virginia Museum of Transportation has trademarked the J-class. Besides, until DTG (or TSG) gets steam...

And decent headlights on the SD40. Currently they are about as illuminating as a cigarette lighter

Quite so. Come to think of it, I don't believe the CRR ever had proper DP, nor were any SD-40s ever equipped with it except for Southern's (after...

It's always the loco. (FWIW, the F7 IRL was never equipped for DP)

In terms of DLC routes, the more modern iterations of TSW have a built-in advantage: more and more 3rd party developers coming on line. Back in...

Emergency braking by definition vents the pipe and reduces your BP pressure to 0- you aren't going to get it recharged until long, long after the...

Well, separating out launch bundles from DLC routes, unquestionably 2 combined with RH had the best base routes, since those gave us Koln-Aachen,...

Well, that should not be an issue with German Hbf, since the departure boards are essentially just the platform boards stacked together, and the...

Longstanding issue- if the coaches are from the base 101 set, then the expert 101 can't talk to them.

Also, make sure your cloud quality is set to no more than High. Ultra sucks down processing and memory, for almost no visible difference.

The livery goes with their marketing slogan: "This time, we won't muck it up. No, really!"

Yes, it's the first scenario/journey run in the Expert 101 Kassel-Wurzburg pack. As you say, when the red signal cleared the LZB readout...

For some reason DTG have never implemented combined departure boards-- except, weirdly, in Austria. Even though our trusty modders have done them...

"Normal" ICEs don't run this line, they use the main line to Innsbruck via Rosenheim. But I believe DB runs a train pair, I think ICE-Ts, on...

It seems I found an outlier. Does it inform the discussion if I point out that this occurred after an LZB traffic halt? One the line cleared and...

No, I mean that in an acceleration situation, with AFB set to the ultimate intended speed (100 km/h in this particular case). engaging the AFB...

I voted for Tharandter Rampe, because it's already so very good. Probably the best German route of the TSW2 era after its stablemate...

"View Screen" mode blocking out all the keybinds, especially the alerter/Sifa button. Makes setting the GSM-R on German trains quite the timed...

You aren't getting what I'm saying. With AFB at any setting- including but not limited to faster than current but not 200- the brake comes on as...

This behavior also occurs when attempting to engage AFB while moving- except there is no 10 second delay, the braking is instantaneous.

No, it isn't. I think it's supposed to be, since it works with every other AFB-equipped loco, but on the Expert 101 any attempt to engage AFB...

In the 101/Kassel pack, the scenario "Interference"- after the LZB failure hits, the train brakes to a complete stop and will not go again, no...

For me, anyway, trainsimming provides the ability to ride and drive trains I can't in real life. If I ride a 170 to work every day, why would I...

Well, that was a cynical joke. Oddly, though, red n-wagen at least existed in 2000, though of course would not have been numerous. The specific...

If we really want to be fussy, we should demand orange Citybahn versions as well... Might as well, the odds are no worse than getting any other...

Then why not just make a new mintling livery for the included coaches? Liveries just aren't that hard or time-consuming.

To each is own. For me the time period is the main appeal of this route- modern DB is boring.

In my case it's very simple: much as I have been pleading for a BR 140 for ages, I'm not buying this route with its absurdly anachronistic...

The Class 52 is a very old loco; originally in red as a DLC for West Somerset, then repainted blue but otherwise unchanged and included in the...
