I am guessing now that the ~250 MB file is just an installer, which in turn governs the download of ~2 GB of compressed data, which in turn is...
At least to date, DTG have never added a layer for a newer loco into a pre-existing route. Substitutions, yes, just swapping one loco for another...
If I am reading the roadmap correctly, they have quietly dropped trying to fix the 146/185 sound.
OK, I know that breblimator and grob-e play in a language other than English: is this the dividing line? Even more bizarre is that the "234.8 MB"...
Yes- "work together" as in Microsoft decides when and if a sale happens, and DTG do as they're told- just like every other software studio in the...
How strange- everyone else is reporting ~250MB. Is that what Steam is telling you, or from another meter?
Console or PC?
My guess is that the patch is downloaded in a highly compressed form, but unpacking it and installing it all is what's taking the time. I used...
Today's patch included some modifications to Clinchfield, so the original list will probably require revision (later this evening)
Um, not exactly. A full 1938 Tube train used five different kinds of coaches in 7-car trains. The IoW RW only used the driving motor coaches, in...
Even in a full radio-remote DP setup, each MU component is still set up lead-trail-trail, just as if there were a live crew there....
When it's just two people doing it.
If you are expecting DTG to announce all of their upcoming DLC in one go, it's not gonna happen. I'm content with a listing of whatever fixes...
I'll say this much for Rivet: they design and build their own locos. Really it's what they're best at (timetables and scenery, not so much). I...
It seems to have been quietly dropped from the MSB fixes: And that's it for MSB. Nothing about sound at all.
CSX' network doesn't lack for hills...... It is not impossible that it was a union contract thing. DPU puts helper crews out of work.
You really expect a little shunting engine with a tail of loaded wagons to go over 60 km/h? Dream on. It was never built for mainline freight...
Actually both the AC4400 and the C40-8W are. It's hardly new tech. And some other railroads (notably Norfolk Southern) have rigged their SD40-2s...
Loading coal and hauling it away is how the RR makes money, and they are not just going to have engineers running around taking coal away whenever...
All right, my computer is giving me Date Modified of today on the .paks of the core (1.5 GB), Sand Patch (9.6 GB), Clinchfield (7.8 GB) and the...
42 minutes to download 234.8 MB? (And, yes, my Internet is working just fine)
Except this "234MB" download has been running disk R/W like it's downloading the whole Netflix movie library- how many minutes of 150MB/s does it...
I am very confused now. Is there or is there not a patch for PC? Steam just did a tiny little 234 MB update, which is hardly patch-sized.
And you can think of no conceivable reason why your complaint about an unsatisfactory dashboard texture might not have been attended to yet, other...
I would imagine that's a core thing, and it has to do with trying to save a bit of memory- some variable called "windshield snow accumulation" or...
Really? "the other DTG members are too lazy or don’t care." You may not have an issue with that phrasing, but those of us raised to have a...
North American, if you will. In most respects Canadian railroading is pretty much like US.
Not all that easy. Apparently easy, yes, the design is hardly a challenge; but in the absence of font support, reproducing the lettering exactly...
Saving the worst for last: [IMG] Somehow have to fit "Clinchfield" four times into 223 layers.
Okay, now THIS is some news- the designer of the CRR SD40 has taken some steps to avert the number board issue: those number boards are paintable,...
I'm not sure why you would want the nerfed post-2015 models rather than their better predecessors. It's like wanting a '73 Malibu with the gagged...
Yes. That might be addressed in some future upgrade. For now, I either become a "spotter" using the 3 camera (completely realistic, except that...
Depending on the specifics of the signal, there may be no alternate aspect besides red for it to display, or it might not be changeable by the...
Note: it actually doesn't matter, in the two trail locomotives, whether the radio fuse is on or off.
Actually, yes, it is. He's asking for DTG to reprogram a significant part of the DLC which was not present, or planned for, at release ( =...
Note that classification lights were only in use under timetable-and-train-order signaling. This was replaced, by any time relevant to TSW, by...
Well, no. It's the leading element in the train- which in reversing moves is the other end from your loco. I learned this early on, shunting in...
Next time you're in a truck stop, notice that all the rigs in the parking lot are idling away while their drivers eat/shower/buy snacks. And since...
Quite possibly less that it takes to prime and start them up in the morning. An idling diesel burns an elf's thimble worth of fuel.
On any hill start, don't release brakes until you have enough amps to the motors to overcome gravity. Depending on the grade and the train...
Known, bug. Not the camera. Problem appears to be incorrect modeling of main brake reservoir recharge.
A well-known, longstanding and widely-reported bug. See the thread "Problem Line Bakerloo."
If they ever do a NYC subway route, that would be a perfect simulation of real life......
Although if one wants to be picky about anachronism, no ex-CRR locomotive was still wearing Clinchfield paint* by the time CSX adopted YN3b in...
That seems backwards.
Yes, posts are so very persuasive when they use rhetoric like "stupid" and "lazy"........
A couple of tweaks to LD for the CRR locomotives: on the F7 you can now paint the trucks and underpinnings; and on the other hand the SD40 comes...
Substitutions and layers are different things. There is a lot of substitution, especially with German rolling stock, because it's relatively easy...
Separate names with a comma.
