Quite ironic, going back a few weeks I was quietly stoking my Steam Wallet account ready for the procession of add ons. Then first Mildmay got...
Sadly combine that with the element that spread the gospel that, "Oh but we must buy it because otherwise the developers will be upset and go off...
At this point, is CTS even worth paying £5 for?!
If Just Trains had done it, we would have got the whole Valley Lines plus freight branches, the SWML to Bridgend then the Maesteg branch, plus the...
I think we need a counterpoint for that: "If it's not on my wishlist, it's not getting bought."
Well I see we have another patch but still disregarding the biggest issue which is the stuttering and sound squelching. Seems most of the work has...
I actually fired up Run 8 last night, thought I would give Donner another go. Quite enjoyed myself even though the scenery is a bit, meh....
A grey area of it ever got to the point of being released as a commercial venture, though. It can only be sold through DTG and they are cautious...
There are licensing issues with XC. Also would really need to come driveable with a route. No one is going to buy a train pack just for AI.
West Highland with a 153…sacrilege! Steam heat Class 27 and Mark Ones including sleeping and buffet cars. Seriously though, it will be...
Same here. Played it when the early access came out, think I got as far as repairing the first bridge then drifted off to something else. IIRC it...
At this point, DTG are more like the dodgy used car showroom. Selling a write off that’s been stitched back together, the odometer wound back 50k...
Agree with pretty much all of the above and at the risk of repeating myself, why the fudge didn’t DTG and Rivet talk to each other regarding the...
I fear quantity is taking over from quality but at M&S or Waitrose price levels, nor Aldi or Lidl! I haven’t watched the stream yet, but taken...
Yikes, that looks like something from Trainz 2006 using ancient hedge splines!
Exactly! As I said above they could have pretty much copied and pasted the new physics and sounds from the 153 to 150 in Simugraph with slight...
Not watched the stream but given the 150 and 153 use the same Cummins engine and Voith transmission, why the fudge didn’t they alias the sounds...
It's an ongoing issue. It's always been a less than optimal game for performance, but TSW5 made it a lot worse and recent patches even more so....
Hopefully along with replies to the more earnest questions... :) :) :)
Oh the Whitby line is quite scenic, well once you reverse at Battersby and head towards the coast. The NYMR is also a scenic route, albeit mainly...
I suspect there’s a long path from getting something up and running in the editor to it being approved by DTG for sale or even free distribution...
One further question, well more of a request really. Please don’t yak constantly over the train audio particularly given the concerns over this...
I suspect the answer you will get re the headlights is that, particularly back in the era the route is set, the illumination was more for the...
I mean after the experience with SSS and their LOVE poor response to the Stainmore broken signalling, the only way I would ever buy another one of...
And the arguments of the fan club that “DLC pays for the core” will be devalued if no one ends up buying content for a broken game. I’m already...
My personal view is that I will rarely if ever buy content outside of Steam, even AP or Caledonia Works. I like the refund option if it turns out...
Of course if the route had gone to Barry Island and at least Caerphilly in the north (as it should) there would have been some scope for freight...
I genuinely believe they are putting their heads in the sand. I don't want to single out the EP who has decided he doesn't want to look at the...
Agree, but I have a feeling the preview will be the usual pink headphones, inter colleague banter and no attempt to address the questions. Even...
Well it is kind of... In so far as why are we being asked to pay £30 for this micro route with one new train, as I touched on in my questions....
ROFLOL Well the "R" question has been pointedly asked several times now in the thread and surely they can't ignore that in the name of integrity....
Do we know what BLS' stance is as regards licencing, given SBB have slammed the door? The latter could also impact including any stations or...
Note for those asking questions, the official Stream Q&A thread is now live in the General Forum.
Can you confirm what involvement Rivet have had as second party contractors, in terms of the route and rolling stock build? Can we have absolute...
There was plenty of criticism of Cane Creek when it first came out, still is so don’t think SHG are off the hook as regards quality. They learned...
Because their quality, generally, is well below par whether route building or rolling stock they make. The fact DTG subcontract then don’t...
Ah yes, forgot that one. Well it’s a location that will need to be forensically investigated for evidence of Rivetness!
What’s needed is something similar to Run 8 with its quick start box which comes up if you click on the loco. Everything up and running in a few...
Sherman bombed partly because, on release, it had been poorly optimised with hi poly grass placed out to god knows how far from the lineside. It...
I briefly looked at the editor when it first came out, but despite being an experienced route builder in MSTS, Trainz and TSC it left me...
Run 8 seem to be quite successful with their modular approach to SoCal and the South Eastern routes.
In the end I got fed up of doing scenarios so spammed the "Moving Mersey" on SoS, where all you need to do is walk for about 12 seconds to the...
Well for GWE a Class 180 or Class 165, 2 and 3 car versions. TVL a Class 56. NTP well Deltics did briefly work over the route after being...
Would duplicate the existing GWML. Underground sections are apparently off the cards as DTG can't do or don't know how to do the light baking for...
This might not be practical though given TSW is always showing the direct "as the crow flies" distance, not the mileage along the infrastructure.
Well I did kind of intimate in my response that I would like to see the section of the BAM line I mentioned made, plus there are numerous other...
I can see this thread going downhill or getting locked, but my take anyway... The Russia to Ukraine situation is complicated but ultimately...
Other than the peak, don’t most of the Met Line services start and terminate at Baker Street anyway. Certainly in the days of the A60 stock when...
Thanks for the insight Maik. Maybe one day we will enjoy the Ringbahn in TSW.
Scenarios would be better purposed doing something like single line working when there is engineering work blocking one of the lines. Stop to pick...
Separate names with a comma.
