Agree. The worst thing is the apologists who blindly refuse to acknowledge valid criticism. DTG are not a charity or doing this out of the...
Using the UK PIS is really inexcusable. If time was a constraint better to have gone with a static placeholder and throw the route back at the...
Exactly this. It's what Kuju and their EA masters wanted in the run up to Rail Simulator in 2007 (later Railworks), even to the point of having to...
Or a British long distance express with no buffet or restaurant car... :D:D:D:D Or a new UK route which is going to finish in the middle of...
Must admit I haven't had anything from the US/Canada routes but it is finding me some interesting stuff I wouldn't necessarily have tried otherwise.
Looks like that's the first of the five new routes to gain a miss, £150 potential spending now down to £120...
Even better if it hadn't been offered up and accepted by DTG QA in such a woeful state to start with.
With respect, question addressed to DTG not you.
Mixed views on this as it’s the closest thing we have to a career mode. But when you can do a couple of runs on Bakerloo and it nukes itself in as...
Got to be BR Classic Blue era.
So much for hoping for UIC stock, then.
Vapid Transit would be fun if the trains actually made some sound...
Or the hard seats!
Regards the coaching stock, I would hope we might see some UIC types, AM, BM etc. as used on the numerous D trains which used this line. It was...
Late item regarding the save game. Improvements to restoration of the signalling state are noted and appreciated. However there is an ongoing...
Something like Westbury to Taunton would be good. If you include the Frome Loop there are only three intermediate stations. Mendip stone and a bit...
I can understand to some extent them holding back a route editor, but really no excuse at this stage for not having a decent activity and consist...
Yes there are plenty of modern DB routes for those who like driving Traxx locos or nearly silent red cab cars.
Only if I get my much requested RMB for UK Mark 1 formations.
Derby to Chinley with an all stations service was about 90 mins in the 1963 timetable. We have runs longer than that already, some of the German...
Absolutely this. I think DTG are missing a huge opportunity not making this a transition era route. Throw in a reskinned Peak, the DMU for the...
I agree it can be difficult as, just like movies on Amazon, you get the rose tinted fans who will not offer any criticism even when warranted or...
The game loves me tonight! Just produced a Class 40 hauled passenger run on NTP, Man Vic to Leeds... My Lords!!
It will be exactly the same with Derby on the Peak steam route. Most of the track will be laid but someone in a suit decreed, no time or money in...
Strangely I've been playing more... However just like with Gremlins, there are a few "rules" when dealing with DTG. 1. Always remember this is...
Isn't this set in the EMT era?
Personally I would like to see the route in the classic diesel era when Class 45’s screamed up and down the route with everything from Mark 2...
Still OT, but I did get that old Rally Championship (Magnetic Fields) to work. You have to faff about with CPU affinity settings after starting...
Indeed. Of the announced new routes this is the only one that doesn't have at least one logical end point. Imagine the outcry from the German...
Actually it can also pop up some pleasant surprises. For my second dabble I picked a short run and got the Football Special from Lewes to Brighton...
I used to love that rally game from the late 90s when you got 25 or 30 mile stages across Northumberland, mid Wales or southern Scotland. But the...
Option 1... As it is.
It hasn't bothered them in the past so it's really no excuse. They just rebut or ignore complaints about that sort of thing.
Just under 40 miles by my calculations with the Buxton branch included.
The Cummins engines 158's also sounded slightly different to the Perkins variety. When Canton received the allocation of some former Central...
Thanks for the input so far. Derby definitely seems to be coming out on top.
I also voted Derby. I had to put Manchester as an option but realistically don't expect that. Derby however should be perfectly doable.
I've also put up a poll/petition for the route to be extended. Sorry can't put the link at present as posting from the tablet.
The game hates me. I got the out and back scenario on Dresden to Riesa. 35 mins from Dresden to Coswig calling every shack Dosto cab car, change...
Would be nice if someone from DTG could come on and confirm, though.
Already a fair bit of discussion about this route finishing at Ambergate rather than Derby and to a lesser extent Chinley instead of running...
At least in 1963 it wasn't MaxPax tea!
No but a logical start and end point... Ambergate is basically in the middle of nowhere, looking at the maps it doesn't look as if there was much...
In the real world the driver and fireman generally work as a team. In the sim those roles kind of get combined. However the driver certainly needs...
As I said in the Q&A thread, for all my anticipated love for this route, it's a bit like starting NTP at Stalybridge or BML at Wivelsfield!
Hence my question for a status update! I would love it to be something like the Yamanote Line or Osaka Loop Line from the old Densha De Go games.
May already have been asked... The new UK steam UK route gives cause for great excitement but why on earth does it start at Ambergate and not...
Sweepstake time... NEC NYC to Trenton - February (seems to be confirmed on stream). Niddertalbahn - March or April. Ambergate to Chinley etc. -...
As reported above, it is better but still not perfect by any means. The whole concept of coal and water consumption, fire mass and boiler level -...
Perhaps you should be able to filter the randomness, I.e. exclude certain countries or types of route, or choose from (say) German conte t only.
