Next Steam sale probably around June time towards the solstice. So if you can find them in a local supermarket, stock up on Steam Wallet gift...

Also debatable these days whether mass produced chocolate is in fact, erm chocolate. More like brown coloured and flavoured sugar candy. Real...

Very encouraging - great fan of the tramway particularly pre modernisation, having built the original MSTS route and the TSC version (with a lot...

Hopefully they have a “Plan B” either another route of their own that could take a 158 or a layer for another UK route, though hard to see one...

Yes really frustrating getting to Gospel Oak and seeing the NLL stretching away in both directions. Hope they can do a SEHS and add Stratford to...

My reputation in that area has lost all credibility… :) Seriously though it’s very nice and a pleasant jump in quality for DTG in house both as...

Despite my prerelease stance after seeing the very positive feedback - even from some of the more pragmatic members like me - I folded and bought...

Despite my pre release stance I folded and bought it earlier and have to say, once you get through the Training Centre bit and on to the route...

Personally I think it's just an excuse from Rivet to paper over the deficiencies of their route builder(s). Most other routes that are packed with...

Maybe the bagpipe situation needs to be taken to a separate thread? We don't really want to detract from the other key issues the route has or...

And of course, the cherries on the cake - the two steam routes. SoS with its two locos and handful of rolling stock, then massive acreage of empty...

Same here, it's actually getting tempting, even though not normally a fan of stop/start EMU routes. Assuming Fife Circle stays off the menu then...

Ah but are they playing "pink" bagpipes!

I knocked together a NE Scotland map in TF2 and following one of the little trains around it looked better than Rivet terrain and texturing!

As a courtesy to customers I would suggest they also extend the preorder discount beyond the release date as it is simply not realistic to expect...

Presumably not all “employees” are full time salaried with a pension scheme. Would like to bet a fair bit of the creative side is outsourced,...

Saying something is boring is not the same as pointing out errors of quality or sub standard modelling and timetabling, or challenging the...

Not sure I entirely trust ambassadors getting a complimentary copy to give a completely unbiased report.

I guess to take advantage of the 10% discount and/or because it’s something you really, really want and you are satisfied with the preview...

Exactly what I’ve been saying! DTG are ultimately the publisher and are responsible for the final go/no go on whether something gets released. I...

Unlike TSC though, you will not necessarily fail the scenario or run if you miss one of the objectives.

In which case they should be working through the weekend and doing a new stream on Sunday or Monday to correct the error. Lackadaisical all round.

Royal Train was a right PITA I agree. In reality, the “special train” would receive a clear run barring any unforeseen occurrence and on lines...

All stuff that shouldn’t have been wrong in the first place! And as regards track joint sounds, yes important but on a route where 90% of the run...

Didn’t want to add to my wall of text above but one further thought… Most of us have so much content in TSW or the other sims there is absolutely...

I’m fairly certain in TSC the services were split in two halves. Still you would think TSW could cope with trains returning back whence they came.

At the end of the day, same as last year if it is TSW5 we will moan and grizzle but probably end up buying it anyway. Particularly if the route...

FTFY… C: Never.

Part of the reason we don’t have more people developing for TSW is DTG’s own fault for sitting on the tools for five years. Then when they do...

Maybe, maybe not. That house just embedded in the terrain, no garden, no fence, looked fairly final to me. And as mentioned earlier in another...

Sadly that is an impression I get. Or they are all just treading water while things are taking place behind the scenes. Anyhow better not get too...

It would be a good platform to launch something like the Class 25. However as Jack notes above, other than maybe layering in the existing steam...

Despite the interesting prototype (which I think was done as freeware in MSTS), DTG have stated they are not doing any more North American freight...

Any experienced route builder with a bit of pride in their work would have taken one look at that and decided, no that's not the picture I'm...

New York to Trenton for 80% off. Worth getting for that price or still a dud?

Indeed. It's been said before only a minority of the customer base use the forum or any other sort of social media. So the sales will still come...

Noticeable that the thread just posted by Rivet and rubber stamped by DTG to say they will "publish and be damned" has been locked against further...

This is exactly it. Rivet may be the developer but DTG are still publishing it through their own stores on the various platforms. Not like TSC...

Absolutely. For starters they need to show some before and after images of locations identified from the stream. This really smacks of...

Interesting... Some sort of internal ruckus at Rivet, perhaps? Or they are about to acknowledge the route is sub par and pull the release.

Then either DTG and/or Rivet need to go back to school when it comes to professionalism. You check and cross check that what's being shown is the...

Exactly this. Which is why those urging us in other threads to just buy anyway and wait for the fixes are seriously misguided (or have an...

I don’t really feel bad for Jasper. Not clear from the Rivet Games website who does what but I’m assuming he is fairly senior in their hierarchy....

What we really need at this point is a statement from DTG as to what their intentions are in light of the very poor response the stream has elicited.

Are your standards that low or are you just easily pleased? Or are you a Rivet employee trying to spin this mess of a route?

Nonsense. This is not some unforeseen bug that cropped up after release. It is a wholesale failure of 3D modelling and route building technique...

Why? You seriously consider this garbage is worth £30. I wouldn’t even pay £5. You are seriously in a tiny minority if you do, the overwhelming...

They could salvage the 170 and do that as a slightly retro pack for E to G along with the 158 when it arrives.

With all due respect Jasper, this sort of thing should have been picked up by yourself and your people when the route was in alpha stage. Did the...
