I doubt DTG would model a whole new loco just for a couple of services (especially since the purist would shriek about realism).

FWIW, the 363 can be repainted in Livery Designer; the 204 cannot.

To that add the rather underwhelming services that came with the 204. Great loco, repetitive gameplay.

Unfortunately, in Yes, Minister it was all rather funny and pretty harmless. To get closer to reality one needs to add the ruthless malevolence...

AIUI, there is only a need for at most three pantos for a (hypothetical) loco to run on any OHEP system in Europe, provided each is rated for the...

That's not entirely accurate. Each has its own copy of its own "native" rolling stock, both the defaults and any DLC for which it is the "home"...

I believe CG is correct. Trademark infringement happens, if it happens, when an article is introduced in trade; and it is DTG, not Rivet or TSG,...

The dispatcher has to be aware of the entire 24-hour timetable. Even if a train doesn't appear on the map until it emerges from the City Tunnel...

The dispatcher necessarily has to keep track of every train that exists within the route.

Hopefully better than they did in the original NEC.......

Well, otoh there is something appealing about a world with just trains in it, and no rotten miserable apes-with-pretensions.

All sold together as one bundle

However, it's my understanding that brand licensing is one of the things which DTG handle, not the third-party developers (for example, it's...

Wow, a passenger coach still in dark green, in 2018?

It isn't supported yet; it will be when the core update comes out this summer.

Certainly everything is easier from a licensing perspective if they set things before privatisation

True enough, but that doesn't help with Journey mode

Apparently the only way to do that is to toss out the entire timetable and build a new one from the ground up. Adam did that with RT, but that...

Shouldn't be an issue, although if you delete them you'll also be deleting all the rolling stock that came with them, so they will no longer...

Those are the routes that came with TSW2.

The only ICEs that run on the Main-Spessart Railway are ICE-1s and ICE-Ts, so the 403/406 would be just as "wrong" here as in Dresden. No ICEs run...

That's pretty much standard practice. If you look in your folders, you'll see that SKA, BKL and SPG are separate .pak files.

In these cases DTG have to make a command decision: "Do we include an empty timetable layer for a train we have not made yet, and may never, or do...

That isn't really the issue, though- it isn't whether DTG could have built the 189 as a new loco, but whether the 185 is wrong. Clearly it isn't;...

Well, the Boston route does include new things: The MBTA coaches will be new, the cab car ("half a loco") will be new, and I'm prepared to call...

The two cases are not comparable, though. In the first instance we are talking about the rolling stock which is included as an intrinsic part of...

First Great Western isn't defunct, it simply changed its brand name to Great Western Railway.

It wasn't a documentary?

Matt addressed this in the stream, pointing out that making routes linkable is something which, in the indefinite future, they would like to...

Sadly, each graphical element = 1 layer, and there is no means by which one can merge or flatten them. The fixed 300-layer budget is the biggest...

Ask yourself who publishes flight sim, and you've snswered your own question

They're gone. Amtrak, SEPTA and MARC have all retired their AEM-7s.

The problem with prototypical freight train lengths is that (and DTG have done them internally), although the game engine can handle 100+ cars,...

The Department of Transport also own the British Rail trademarks, which they have licensed to DTG.

Wouldn't matter, because no trackage on the route is rated for more than 150mph. Besides, the Liberty (a) isn't in service yet, so impossible to...

NEC Boston Providence is a much better section of the route. It's an upgrade.

Route linking is something which, if it ever happens, is a very long way off. DTG have no current plans to implement it, although they aren't...

Sprinters, for one.

Clinchfield is sterile???????

Yes, but I would say the Acela as a DLC is 99.99% certain.

The 150 mph bits are quite short, unfortunately. "With a 71:23 gear ratio, the Acela is designed with a top speed of 165 mph (266 km/h) and...

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the Rush Hour routes.

Layered rolling stock, as opposed to included rolling stock, always risks a degree of inaccuracy. Crikey, Sand Patch now has SD40s in Clinchfield...

Really really doubt it. At this stage of development there's nothing to see but wireframes

150 mph

" Also included is the high-speed line for IC (DB BR 101 required) and ICE services (DB BR 406 ICE 3M required)." But since TSW2 is required, and...

It has been said now so often that in the last stream they put it in a crawl: new DLC announcements will NOT happen in streams, not ever. At...

Now THAT would be brilliant marketing- DTG themselves "leak" a fake announcement 48 hours in advance......

Or the actual bundle will be completely different, and Sam will laugh at us for being such rubes........

Part of it is already in RRO, although not drivable.
