Had a go on that last night and while the terrain is a bit flat, yes it’s a nice route at least the section I ran driving one of the car ferry...
Essentially a glorified reskin pack with a few scenarios or timetable runs added to existing routes. Accept a new developer needs to cut their...
The main outstanding issue with WCMLS is the shonky Rivetness. But this is equally apparent from their other routes, the tunnels on EtoG have the...
If (and it’s a big if), DTG did dust off steam traction then for the UK something GWR (or BR Western) with the Riviera Line from Exeter to...
It’s one of the oldest routes in the game. Accept the fact DTG are not going to touch it. Ever. Again.
Fired it up last night and had quite a pleasant trip along the Obereruhrtalbahn. Discussed elsewhere about DTG doing a secondary main line German...
I put a question in the Roadmap Q&A whether the love in with TTTE will signify a return to more serious steam content but expect it was ignored;...
As noted it’s not a new thing. What makes it worse is those sickly “high five” preview presentations where each new route is portrayed as being...
The better option might be to make an Australian route as if it were in the UK or one of the countries where DTG have permissions, but then at...
Licensing, or at least permissions, also extend to representation of operating systems - whether signalling or on train controls - in a...
That you have had xx months enjoyment out of it in the meantime. Same principal as waiting until an item is on sale. You either buy at full price...
I still have a suspicion they have either lost due to attrition or shed due to redundancy most of their talented artists. Mark my words, TSW going...
Could do a route with a 216, 211 or even a V200. Plus the 218 is doubtless well beyond peak sales by this point so it might actually be more...
Did DTG even apply their own LAMPOIL process to this route, I wonder? Said it before, with the selection of DMU’s and the 218 plus Ludmilla still...
Mittenwaldbahn is on my radar but again a bit of unease about spending what will probably be the “deluxe” price (£32.99?) for something that will...
Just doing 1L22 Dundee to Edinburgh in Journey mode. Timetable seems a bit skew whiff. Allowed 10 minutes for the 2 miles from Kirkcaldy to...
Still get the impression of radio silence though on core issues which apply across the whole game. Either they are in denial or for whatever...
Mildmay and Manchester are short part routes with an electric bus service. The latter a recycled train. Cardiff City brings a tiny fraction of the...
Think that might be the one,yes.
Basically most of the UK classic diesels, possible exception being the Class 33 which sounds a bit naff to me. The BPO Class 47 stands out as does...
Buried now but it was in one of the Australian suggestion threads. Search for posts by Matt P and you should turn it up.
This. It can, as they say, fester on the digital shelf at that price.
My dour chuckle in that vein was the other week when the EP asked me to provide video evidence of the sound squelching and distortion on WCMLoS,...
As I said, the 350 and 390 bring you back to it. Though mildly disappointed last night continuing the Journey to find the next element was a shunt...
Yes just completed it, very nice scenario. That shunt signal at Currock threw me a bit too, but I saved before passing it. And must admit going...
But to do what exactly? People say they want multiplayer but really what purpose does it serve in a train game? The issues with SimRail have been...
Seems unlikely DTG would go up against SimRail where Polish stuff is concerned. More specific ideas or suggestions are best placed in the…...
To be fair the times I have fired WCMLS up it has more or less behaved itself. The 350 and 390 are both reasonable trains. It’s the shoddy Rivet...
If it went to Crewe then I would be interested, otherwise a no sale.
Well my theory about them sacking most of the developers is well known. Now it seems they have AI doing the PR as well!
I also can’t believe WCMLS so popular. As they say, lies, damn lies and statistics. It probably scored highly from players keep going back to see...
I think this ties in with my tinfoil sombrero theory that they don’t have many (or any) staff now employed in house developing new assets,...
At a tangent from that, do you still have adequate in house staff working on projects and looking at code? TSC seems all but abandoned as do Catan...
Only really Mittenwaldbahn and Cardiff tantalising me at present. The London route is too short and just a variation on Goblin, as noted...
The other key point about MP is that every function performed by a cooperative player, needs to be capable of being taken over by the AI. Whether...
They probably scoffed at TTTE at one point, too. I mean I'm not against MP per se but it's trying to fit it into a train sim where it makes sense...
Someone has copied and pasted from last years text regarding Thomas as it refers to "next year" which would mean 2026! On the subject of Thomas,...
Same answer as always. Multiplayer is not going to bring much to the train sim experience aside from a player avatar over an approaching train and...
Actually now you mention it, they probably have more in common with the original LNER Tyneside electric units! :)
Thanks guys, I shall forge ahead with the 08 scenario after tea.
I have switched of the Like/Help alerts in the forum options so the only advice I get if someone replied to a thread I’m following, or otherwise...
Quick question. Before embarking on the long 08 shunt/trip scenario from Kingmoor to Currock etc., does this have any known issues? Don’t want to...
Absolutely this. JT obviously have research data and people who know the area from their TSC work, so just need to bring them up to snuff with...
This may still come up against the transit operators not being prepared to agree licensing, access or depiction of their operations and procedures...
Australia recently discussed and DTG stated none of the train or infrastructure operators are prepared to talk about licensing or access for research.
Don’t give them ideas…:cool: Oh and Thomas, don’t forget that coasting is important to save energy!
Given the ongoing state of the game (I just read the WCMLS PS5 crashing thread), the only thing they should be focused on in the roadmap is where...
Bit of a grey area as they were ordered by the LNER pre WWII in 1938 but didn’t enter service until 1954 after electrification was finally...
DTG are so committed to Thomas they couldn’t even raise their enthusiasm to creating a nice fantasy route or layout on which to run the equipment!
At least TSC allows one save per scenario. I did tag the EP in another post earlier today where the Save game topic came up. Not only more slots...
