Yeah, if you think about it, this route actually does have some particularly dark history. Fascinating history to be sure. A shame only that it's...
They're nice :) Though, could you really consider those retro? They did run until 2008, so they're definitely not modern anymore. It feels wrong...
Honestly, while I prefer semi-modern trains of the era in-between 1995 til 2015, if we're going the retro way through a Diesel-Legends like DLC...
Sure, but this route uses the slightly older ATB EG instead of NG. For this I would rather recommend "Train Driver's POV Dutch Railways" youtube...
I'm quite they'll add De Vork, probably even as the main emplacement for the route. To be fair, they're going to have to make it anyway, so might...
It would definitely be. Though I don't see it happening that soon. The option for free-roam freight options is also one of the reasons though...
So, good news for those who were talking about freight options for this route. I was looking through some foto archives online and found this one...
I mean, while down the line I would love a retro route featuring the old ICM's, or have it be included as a retro rolling stock pack akin to the...
Sure, it should reflect both passenger and freight, but the problem here is though that IRL this track has maybe only a handful of small freight...
Why are you nervous about that? For now, no freight locs are in the works, and I don't see it made soon either. So it's probably going to be just...
Ah, I see. Thank you for pointing that out. I did not catch that and jumped to possible conclusions and worry too soon. Thank you :)
Absolutely amazing to see an update on the progress on the NS ICM's! :D Though I did immediately spot one small detail that has me slightly...
Well, they did say that it was really in the earliest of stages, so it was quite clear with the initial reveal that it would be the last in line...
Yes, so, if the speed drops to 100km/h, it would look mostly similar to what it looks like on German routes. First, you'll encounter the yellow...
So, seeing as how we're getting a Dutch route with Zwolle - Groningen. This thread may be of use to some people. Also, in hindsight, this thread...
I made a thread about this a while ago. You can find it in my signature. Though the site from which I used the pictures no longer exists, so I'm...
A bit busy, so I'll only respond to a few of your points. Firstly, I would warn you not to get your hopes up too much. Specifically when you say...
I'm not too worried about that for a few reasons. First, while it's likely that in a few years time, there'll be a few more Dutch routes out,...
DDZ is actually probably the most common intercity train on this route IRL, so in terms of future loco DLC, that one's probably the most likely....
He showed up in this thread early on. Probably 2nd page or so. Just to be clear, before I accidently get anyone's hope up. Nothing's confirmed....
Well, sure, you have door control, but you can't perform any of your duties in multiple trains as the same time and be scored fairly at the same...
So, I was thinking about conductor mode and how it will be on some of the upcoming add-ons, and I'm seeing a bit of a problem. Specifically, some...
Yeah, I do recall something like that. Though that was a while ago. Nah, I don't really think this goes. Loco add-ons not being tied to their...
So, I was wondering something, and I wondered if any of you guys have any idea on this. Now that Dutch content is on the table, what do we know...
Yeah, I'm dying to know which route it is, also because he described it as being a "mini-nightmare". That would lead me to believe that, if it's...
To expand on this, for clarity for notleo the extra 4 on the southern section are the trains between Zwolle and Leeuwarden, which would go off-map...
Actually not. They tie the player outfit to the specific train and their operator. You notice it easily too when taking seats in different trains...
I was wondering. Any guesses and preferences on which NS driver clothing the player model driver is going to wear? The suite? The jacket? The...
Actually I kinda like the idea of Harper's Ferry. I remember seeing the place in a Hotell Hell episode of Gordon Ramsey and loving the look of the...
I mean, while having been taken out of service for passenger use on the DDAR only recently, 2019, they used to be the standard for NS passenger...
So, for me there are a few dream scenarios, and there's several ones I'd be greatly interested in and all of them would require a new country...
First of all, I'll second what Purno said, in that, a Dutch route without NS trains wouldn't really feel right. That said, I think this seems a...
I mean, to be fair, it's not that much of a problem per se. They're going to have to add coupling functionality to them in some capacity anyways....
I was just thinking, there's one small thing I do hope they do. While I do believe there is only going to be the 3-car ICM variant, and probably...
Rare, but not never :) Though I definitely do recall seeing them more in the past. Yeah, I've seen Series 6400 too, which could be a good choice...
Unlikely. If DTG were planning on doing a EU mainland variant of the Class 66, they could've done it years ago. It does appear here, on this...
Come to think of it, I really hope DTG will do combined traction/braking controls better. Of course you need to be able to quickly go from...
I kinda think that's the point actually too, in why they chose these two in particular. The ICM is the obvious star of the show, but the SNG is...
Don't think so, personally. I mean, they're usually set on making it as correct as it is in the specific window of time they're making it....
Yeah, same idea for now. Though I do plan on getting the Deluxe during a sale for the routes to use conductor mode and for Frankfurt - Fulda....
Surprised, yes, but partially also not actually. I recount Matt saying on multiple occasion on a livestream that the Netherlands and the ICM...
Yeah, I'm personally hoping that mainly for Zwolle. The main building as seen from the almost park like street is beautiful. Also, aside from some...
Come to think of it, there is one slight worry I have about this route in how they'll execute it, particularly at station Hoogeveen and a little...
Understandable, though just as long as they aren't so clean that they start looking plastic-like like some German trains in the game, specifically...
Personally I'm hoping they'll get the warm lighting of the ICM right, as well as the heavy driving sounds and the loud clicks of the cab switches....
So, I think for me, it depends on the route and how well the night lighting is on that route. Also, depends on the country and the systems too....
Yeah, and frankly, I think the focus should be on generating support from the foreign fanbase that isn't yet aware of what the Netherlands would...
We should get this guy to do the tutorial, obviously: [MEDIA]
