I'm reasonably confident that Steam will be around in some form for a long time, as it’s now a critical part of the world's gaming infrastructure,...
This all looks very convincing.
The competition unreliability, which is affecting the TSC competition too, will guarantee its death. It's hard to get enthusiastic about entering...
I'm interested in both in DT's current sale. What is your view on them please? I know the Twins had some bugs on release, that I believe have been...
kilt46 You've got to stop running it on a console! I only say that as I know you're quite a big TSW user. Seriously, it must be very frustrating....
Until 5th January, Digital Traction are having a 33% sale on everything. https://digitaltraction.co.uk/
There is a wider range of products, including freight wagons on Chris Trains' own site. https://www.christrains.com/en/ts_buy.html All with 50%...
[IMG] GP40-2s prepare for their trip on the Sherman Hill route.
Excuse my ignorance, but roughly what years do they apply to?
Steam now lists a load of former Rivet DLC as Suburban Glasgow Ltd. I don't know what's going on, but there must be some tie-up. I see that on...
Suburban Glasgow Ltd seem to be the new name for Rivet (TSC). Reviews are positive on Steam.
It looks good, though the included stock is now rather old.
I presume DTG know they don't have the resources to fix everything, so they want to see which faults most annoy players and fix them first.
That's a silly comment. It's literal meaning adds nothing to the discussion, and if it's an attempt at humour, a UK advertising slogan from 30...
If the producer of the software has abandoned it and sees no way of making any money from it, I doubt they will put much effort into enforcing...
The track is one continuous route from Paddington to Penzance. The collection packs provide the scenery and scenarios for the different parts of...
Just because TSW6 has new features, doesn’t mean they have to be used in DLC released for it.
How hard is it to push out the correct files? Answer: easy. If you've got them. I suspect they've had a versioning breakdown and don't...
If the simulation is constrained to one core and core speed is constrained by the laws of physics/existing chip technology then there will be an...

I'd like passenger sleep simulation. You go to sleep for, say, 30 mins and wake up to find everything in the sim had jumped forward by 30 mins.
How do you do this please?
There are two risks to TSC. 1. It's no longer hosted on Steam, or Steam no longer exists. Neither looks likely at present, but nothing is for...
The canary in the coal mine is AP. When they stop developing content, you'll know TSC is dead.
It's not dead, but it is dying. DTG aren't developing. Several significant UK commercial developers have announced their intention to drop TSC...
Has the loco body acquired some weathering? That's quite a greasy streak down the front.
The route in the video is barely recognisable with the original Railworks offering, and looks much better. I'm looking forward to it.
This doesn't look good.
That's not correct. This is a standalone DLC with no dependencies.
Better to do an active steelworks like Scunthorpe, which also has main line movements and a heritage railway on site. See my addition to my...
The Class 14 was primarily built as a yard and docks shunter, but having a top speed of 45 mph and being quite powerful for their size, the...
In the UK there are several classes of main line diesels in the 1.5 - 2k hp range, such as the Class 37, so no need for a specialised heavy shunter.
Random faults should have a user settable mean time between failures, maybe 1 - 100 hrs. That's still far more frequent than real life, but any...
Vern, have the hallucinations returned again? Yeah, I ate those mushrooms to. I close my eyes and see a Rivet release without bugs!
Well, I'm sitting on a West Midlands train and the recorded lady announcer has just said 'oh', not 'zero'!
Railways currently working. Even DTG could make them bug free.
I think the Orkneys would be a great choice. Straightforward modelling and probably few operational bugs.
Calling for DTG to ban abusers won't work if it's not being done on this platform. This isn't the only way of communicating with developers.
It was false information that DTG obviously took exception to, as they deleted the post. No one was saying that DTG wouldn't release TSC 2025,...
The TSC 2024 subscription is still available, as is all the DLC.
Yes, it's the gift the keeps on giving. Still, it does fill the time while I wait for routes to be fixed and discounted before I buy them. I...
I assume it will be the existing Konstanz to Villingen route and DTG Jamie is a bit confused in his description.
Do you mean level crossing flashing lights?
I like the mixture of logs in the loads.
Wait a week until after release. There will be YouTube videos up by then. I've never understood the rush to get something non-essential on day 1,...
I've only ever seen 60s and 66s in the facility. Mostly the latter.
I travel frequently on the Wolverahmpton - Shrewsbury line, which goes past Oxley TMD, and I hope I can assure you by stating that the Molineux...
[Deleted; insulting - DTG Harry] By your own admission, the market isn't for hyper-realistic train simulators, so commercial developers aren't...
