Exactly. Time to spread wings, see how receptive other European railways are. Czech Republic, Slovakia, the various Balkan countries, Scandinavia....

I'm still having to work on agreement for a Windows compliant hardware update for the PC!

Well think it's fair to say after the LIRR business that DTG always come down on the side of compliance. However it does beg the question that...

But that is only used in exceptional circumstances and at very low speed. ATO is used on Glasgow Subway in TSC and literally all you do is push a...

It's nothing new unfortunately. Union Pacific were massively opposed to anything sim related at one point, then suddenly did a 180. Then there was...

I do remember reading something to that effect. Mind so far as TSC is concerned I do believe DTG have laid aside in house route production in...

ATO, no thanks.

I actually created a loose interpretation of the Alston branch for MSTS many years ago!

Another option to do a Swiss route is to model the geography but switch location to another country. That's what RSC did all those years ago with...

I am getting the sneaky feeling that expert level may well end up being a one off, given the stance we are now seeing from SBB and if other...

Given the news about SBB, the previous situation with LIRR and the general, “Man from US freight railroad says, “no””, predicament it seems to be...

As I commented in the TSW section, do SBB also plan to try and extend this to MSTS or Trainz content that is already out there and for which no...

Alston branch although that closed in 1976 I believe. An earlier era does bring more variety in terms of freight. If the SIAM Carlisle 1973...

Strange contrast with LIRR who insisted that safety systems are fully on all the time and just removed a couple of procedures for starting the...

So long as it's not applied retrospectively to what we've already got. SBB not a huge loss though it would have been nice to have got the...

Actually if I paid £500 for a model railway train-set, I'd be frightened to take it out the box! :)

Well we are still not really supposed to be discussing what was in the NDA breach/leak. But speaking hypothetically, it would be rather silly if...

Another one popped in my head. Equalise the AP system. Ridiculous that you can get 20k+ points for a 40 minute run on Bakerloo, but a 90 minute US...

I like the idea of a career tracker and wouldn’t mind an optional career mode. But I can see the howls from some quarters if you buy a new route...

And the next one - Three Of Clubs, Blackpool Branches very nice! Oh no and now Cane Creek!

Also very much scope to build as a BR Classic route. The Class 101 DMU's were the most widely used type on the line. Class 47 on freight, maybe...

Dynamic weather needs to go both ways, i.e. not just start off sunny then deteriorate into a thunderstorm that lasts the rest of the run. Direct...

Not really a fair comparison. For one you're getting a real model made from real plastics and metals, which you can experience via various senses,...

Thought of one to add. In the name of all that is good, please refrain from switching the coloured track markers back on whenever we do a...

This would be a great route for TSW, linking two large rail centres and bringing both into the game. Actually quite a scenic route but sadly...

Not really an equal comparison. The various Subway Sims are ancient by any standard, I believe Hamburg was the second one they did. In fact shows...

A good era would be the early 90’s, transition from heritage DMU’s to Sprinters. Mixture of HST’s and loco hauled on inter regional services....

Not just the map but in game something like the F6 function of TSC to see where you are!

Even the US can’t escape the dreaded one handle onslaught… Ironing board seats as well? And they insist on ringing that b….y bell at every...

You could use a tablet with Google Glass. Hold that in front of the screen and the camera will pick up the onscreen display which Google Glass...

Two vastly different game engines. If the source models are available in 3D Max or Blender these can probably be used as a basis for TSW but in...

They definitely seemed to use Class 86 timings. interesting aside. Back when this was released, we were told the location and era was picked so...

Oh I remember reading that but doesn't mean to say the project wasn't shifted back in house. We will see in just over a week!

If you mean HIS I suspect a long way off and from what I’ve read on the other side of the forum their work in TSC is not that well regarded. You...

With apologies to Robert Jordan… The Dovetail Wheel Weaves as the Dovetail Wheel Weaves…

Strangely I do tend to agree with this. As already discussed older traction has fairly basic mechanical and electrical functions and certainly no...

This is why Steam review percentages are a rough guide at best. I also think there should be a neutral option, as many add ons fall into the...

DTG have stated they are no longer looking at heavy haul US freight. Class One Railroads no longer granting access for research, survey of locos...

Still need to get past the hurdle of DTG no longer doing US freight, even historical.

Back OT to Dovetail Direct… I hope it is a full and complete reveal, not just snippets and teasers. Remember when they started showing little...

Oops... Must have had PFR on the brain for some reason. But yes, SoS is quite dead, there should be many more trains in the timetable, worked by...

..and the first one out is Queen Of Hearts, Kassel to Wurzburg. The idea being, as with TSC, it brings you back to routes you might have set...

I remember commuting in and out of Euston in the 1980's and the "Cobbler" loco hauled peak services used largely Mark One coaches, but the more...

Hard to say with the earlier diesels as there wasn't really much in the way of electronic trickery that you get on more modern locos. Probably...

Expert level RMB, as we were discussing the other day! In all seriousness though I would be happy to pay over the standard price for a BR Classic...

In fairness it wasn’t the busiest secondary main line but there are certainly a few gaps, even disregarding the lack of Buxton services. The...

They do seem to have lost their way. I’m guessing better single player experience and a save game have fallen far down the list now. Just had a...

Steam peaked in Trainz with the Settle and Carlisle line then later the Potteries Loop, both of which were subsequently pretty much abandoned as...

Most of the freight runs seemed to consist of shuffling wagons a few short miles to and from the loading plant. Plus the odd through service some...
