What does "driving the train by yourself" mean to you?

That would be a lot of work to code and could easily go wrong, all to solve a problem that would be better fixed by implementing manual firing.

They can't, the public editor doesn't have the tools to do that.

No, that's all irrelevant and wouldn't help DTG tune the auto-fireman. The problem is that the auto-fireman doesn't - and can't, really - know...

I've never seen TSC passengers fall off the platform.

Such a tweak would be sacrificing realism because DTG can't be bothered to keep their promises and finish steam. The steam locos blow off all the...

Actually, if the AI is given control of a shut down train it will happily drive it around with the engine off.

Caledonia Works have said they're not interested in doing TSW stuff of any nature because they're not interested in releasing through DTG.

Access isn't the issue; there are plenty of preserved railways. You could get around that problem, by, for instance, offering a "simplified...

I'm talking about your attitude to the "player base wants to drive simple machines as fast as possible in order to complete as many services in...

Because those things are true.

I really think you're being awfully dismissive here...

The fact that they haven't said anything about it is certainly worrying. As I keep saying, pay attention to what DTG responds to and what they...

I wonder if DTG would be more inclined to patch content if it was pointed out that it is a very effective anti-piracy method...

You assume that it's the same people. The forum is not a hivemind.

Can you explain in more detail what's going on and why it happens?

You do realise that there are Pro Range TSC steam locos which give a good idea of what an "expert level" steam loco in TSW would look like?

The correct price for bugfixes and promised features is £0.

If DTG aren't going to bother finishing steam because it "doesn't sell well" - which they've never outright stated - then they should issue an...

Yeah, I imagine a secondary line terminus has plenty of room to recover from delays. On a busy commuter line where trains are packed in as close...

Depends on where they are!

Small delays of a minute or two are common even on the best-run railways...

Depends on the line and context, and of course if something goes wrong and delays happen then there will be far less green signals...

As far as I'm aware there's been no suggestion that Union Workshop/DTG has asked JR East and the answer was "no". The timetable will be much...

When people are making a comparison between "TSW5" and "Rush Hour 2" they are talking about much more than the name!

I have no idea what your point is here.

I believe UW have asked on social media about Kiha 40 training materials, so it looks like that's what we're getting. No.

I don't see where the stress and distractions come in. You acknowledge it and brake down to the necessary speed.

Forget "your expectation" - that's what DTG said they'd do!

What made you decide to do railtours before freight?

I clearly explained how the sources support my claim instead of his.

There's no evidence that those devs were blaming Simugraph rather than DTG's specific implementation of steam within it, though. DTG promised to...

He implied it.

I showed that the sources disprove his own claim.

I'll take that as a "no, but I claim authority on the subject anyway despite dismissing people with actual sources".

I think you fundamentally don't understand how SimuGraph works. If you have the ability to add new nodes - which you can't in the public editor -...

Is DTG going to put the slightest bit of effort into finishing steam? Why are they open about other issues but not this one?

All you need to know for an accurate sunrise/sunset is the date and the latitude.

Your own sources prove that while over the past twenty years the UK has never had a year with more than eight rail worker deaths (with most years...

Enthusiast photography is not the only available source of data...

From everything I've heard it certainly applies to all the Class Is. There's a reason why "Uphill slow, downhill fast, profits first and safety...

Just look at the Norfolk Southern FRA safety culture report for one, and that frankly treats it with kid gloves. Look at how US rail workers talk...

I think you are underestimating the amount of material you can get without access. Certainly if the vehicle exists today you'll have better...

There are plenty of examples that counterdict your claim that crew safety and comfort trumps all! And all those regulations don't result in safer...

That depends on the model in question.

And your point is?

My general impression of American railroads is that they don't give two ****s about crew safety or comfort...

Except of course it's a bit more complicated than that, because it may be possible to get access to the same train by a different operator...
