Oh. My. Lords. I would put the famous quote from Top Gun when one of the pilots got excited during a high G turn but had to change it to family...
A little appetite whetter... screenshot from SimSig Carlisle which is set around 1980. Southern approach from Penrith, totally wrecked by bungling...
WCML over Shap, which I can’t see listed. Runner up Cardiff Valleys.
Was pondering earlier what this will offer as I can’t see it being the entire network, nice though that would be. Think it’s a given we will get...
Imagine how much happier the US customer base would have been with something like FRCE?
Actually not too bad as can probably be done in a single session. Useful if we still only have the one save slot to contend with.
Actually will be interesting to see what they put on the branches, namely Windermere and Morecambe. Probably the 142 as the Met Cams were fairly...
Though I last travelled by train around Holland in the 1980’s I am really looking forward to this one. Flat terrain doesn’t necessarily equal...
Gone with the Deluxe pack for starters. WCML over Shap an absolute must have. The route that might tip TSC in the dustbin. Cardiff Valleys also a...
That’s an interesting point, actually. I wonder if the Class 47/4 will sub in on inter regional services. IIRC the actual WCML service north of...
It was a tongue in cheek comment and what I really need to do is upgrade my PC (or replace it) in readiness for Win 11 including adding more hard...
More likely to see a 40 or 47 between Preston and Carlisle than a 45, certainly on freight workings or summer relief trains.
This. Really can be no other. With some Mark 2 coffins to haul.
I am quite hyped for TSW5 and ordered the Deluxe version. Even more hyped for the forthcoming content, particularly WCML over Shap. However that...
Well it takes the same amount of time to create a mile of route regardless of how fast the train traverses it. More in the case of built up areas....
Seen that Jamie but it is a bit confusing as the “Free Starter Pack” kind of looks like a header over the Regional Packs. Maybe it needs to be...
Perhaps more clarity is needed then, I certainly read it initially as you can choose a route with just the update and was dead wrong! DTG Jamie...
Right, well that's the Deluxe version ordered for me.
Then I was reading it wrong, sorry. The starter packs plus one route are presumably the same as last year then - £30. Sorry to have confused....
That's how I read it. For existing owners if you take the free starter pack within 30 days of release you can choose one of the three regional routes.
This time they have judged things very well and I mean let's be honest, the further enticements of WCML over Shap with an 87, Cardiff Valleys and...
So a free core update and a free choice of one route to go with it is rubbish? Really? I think this time DTG have actually nailed it and listened...
Not as I read it. You can choose one route out of the three with the starter pack, so for example you could get WCML Euston to MKC free. But if...
A little disappointing we didn't get the route through to Rugby or at least Northampton, but as discussed extensively after the beta leak Euston...
Class 50 the most logical choice though realistically would have to be added to DLOGW to fit in the correct era. Otherwise it's really only going...
Personally I think it ought to be added to WCML if purchased in the Standard Bundle, but realistically that's not going to happen. Currently...
:D:D Well I think there is a fair bit to triage out first, haven't touched Derail Valley in over a year.
My TSC install is in danger to make room for all this lot! Well SimRail might be first for the chop. Overall quite pleased with the...
Depending on era you have multiple trackage around Carlisle and I wonder if Kingmoor Yard is included?
It's a good call by DTG. Think I too will be going Deluxe to get the 390 and the Jolly Green Vectron. Would have liked to see the 390 included in...
Trying to keep up with the information, but cannot find a source or detailed information on the GWE Remaster (plus possible loco DLC) and the...
Trying to keep up with all the snippets of information coming out, but this is probably one of the standout items so far. Was always hoping this...
Correct. The question has been asked a few times on forums and Facebook frequented by people associated with Run 8 and the response is almost...
And of course nothing DTG can do is really going to match what Run 8 has to offer. Well operationally, sadly if you think TSW US routes are a bit...
Absolutely yes please to this one!
I take it that’s the source of the audible beep you hear on some locos and cab cars as the train decelerates through about 30 km/h? That one has...
Seems little point buying TSW4 at this point, unless DTG have a last minute blowout sale. Just be patient and wait to see what’s announced in a...
Yet over in TSC corner we have just had a nice set of Alco C424’s released with absolutely superb sounds, running on the Feather River Canyon...
Not to mention despite the public face, behind the scenes I suspect Focus are very much pulling the strings. Though having fired up Snowrunner...
Definitely not. I want Page 120 so we get a nice Swindon built Cross Country DMU.
Plus the Class 421 4 CIG units (and the 4 BIG buffet car variants). Throw in some EPB's and HAP's on the locals too and maybe a Thumper for the...
There is already a thread about this... Plus numerous others speculating on and discussing what might or might not be getting announced tomorrow....
Wasn’t even aware that was a thing in Flight Sim. However all other considerations aside, the game would not support dynamic timetables like...
5. They announce the next JT route is Preston to Carlisle in the 80’s with tap changer electrics, but TSW5 only…
On a slightly different tack, I wonder if they managed to twist Sean Bean’s arm and bring him back to assist in the presentation?
We've just been Terminated... Skynet forever!
There is no indication DTG have recanted their current stance on steam traction. i.e. not doing any more.
Actually you are right! I had that previously off my missus who then denied vehemently this morning she had ever said that. And yes I will be...
As I said in the Direct thread, I have more content in TSC and TSW4 not to mention various other games, that there really is no compulsion to buy...
Yes the Vectron was in the leaked images and I was just spitballing an example if that was the only difference between Standard and Special,...
