That doesn't explain the odd choice of Crewe to Liverpool for Spirit Of Steam other than to indulge the whims of Paul Jackson. Something like the...

Especially if set back in the 70’s when you could get EPB’s or even 4SUB’s on the route.

I suspect though it's more a case of what DTG and their associates were working on, happened to coincide with the list. Rather than the person in...

Used to be overnight trains everywhere in the UK until the mid 1980’s, conveying both sleeping cars and plenty of seated accommodation. A...

I can see the lock incoming on this once DTG arrive in the office… Though based on a couple of things I spotted in other threads over the weekend...

There is plenty of scope for 50 mile routes set in Wales. Something from the Valleys a good first choice, then a 50 mile budget buys you a good...

Back on the topic of night lighting… I fired up WOS 3 (the UK one) on a whim last night. Even though it’s a deeply flawed game from the simulation...

It's a good suggestion but probably hits the brick wall of DTG having no interest in joining or extending existing routes.

I always remember years ago a guy postulating he wanted to create the whole ECML for MSTS, accurate to every building for some distance out from...

Which is why I rarely buy anything full price anymore, TSW or TSC, and if the prices are going up rarely turns to waiting for a sale to come round...

100% support. Cab car driving (IMHO) exceedingly boring especially for some of the 90 min all stations runs on Dresden to Chemnitz or SF Corridor....

Another one in light of discussion raised in the Sales thread. Are DTG raising the cost of the products as has apparently been seen on the Epic...

Part of the Settle & Carlisle would be ideal. I believe the S&C route released for Trainz some years ago reproduced the Condor in one of the sessions.

Even Perth to Inverness would be too long at around 110 miles, sadly. What might be interesting would be something set around Inverness itself,...

At least some of the issues could be averted if the game had better lighting controls built in, for gamma, brightness and contrast. Then those who...

Which neatly brings us back around to how pointless the Suggestions forum really is, other than as triage to coral the, “I want” posts in one place.

I think you miss the point. The Epic prices have apparently gone up higher than they were pre sale. So does that indicate a general across the...

Hopefully they won't follow suite on Steam. £3 on a loco pack would probably mean £5 on a route DLC taking it to £30. They will have to raise...

As GWE just had a major revamp from the Preservation Crew, I would imagine it unlikely DTG will be revisiting the route again any time soon.

It would be nice to see the Northern Line network as a tube line and/or the Circle/Met for sub surface. The TSC Metropolitan has performance...

If you post in a public forum, there's always a chance someone might disagree with you. Grow up.

Moral of story, unless it's one of the longer gaps, wait for the Steam sale. If the money's burning a hole in your pocket, buy some Steam gift...

Nothing wrong with steam simulation if done properly. The Bossman locos in TSC are some of the best in the game. I haven't bought SoS yet as I'm...

Can we have an outline of what aspects are being worked on during the “pause”? Has Spirit Of Steam been a success? Are we likely to see other...

Not here they’re not. If night runs on in clear conditions were bright, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

The game is an unoptimised poorly coded mess, that's what's going on. Things got significantly worse after the last update with pauses and sound...

Still, it is best just left alone. No one is going there to research for a train game any time soon and no one knows what the geopolitical shape...

Good call, though some means would need to be found to replicate the train order/track warrant control system. From what I can recall the...

And what part of a major war being waged following the aggressive invasion of Ukraine territory by Russia do you not get? Suggest you read the...

Too long. Mach to Pwllheli might be possible but unless you set it in late steam or early diesel days. like the MSTS route it's a traffic desert....

Just wondering why we now have two concurrent threads for what is essentially the same suggestion?...

Just not going to happen now or in the forseeable future, so best forget it.

Re the above - really illustrates the point, that whole area should be awash with ambient light.

So long as the tramway also included. However this is a case where going back a few years would be better. When Blackpool Central was still open,...

This was also considered a "railbus" albeit without road capability... AC Cars Railbus (railcar.co.uk) and this: Waggon- und Maschinenbau GmbH...

The Class 121 is strictly a DMU. One of the few interchangeable "road railers" in the UK was the Karrier, procured by the LMS for service on the...

Last night I had a sunset while traversing the Carpathian Mountains and it was awesome. Not only that, the lighting in ETS2 and ATS does not cause...

No, the lighting is LOVE and as others have commented makes some scenarios and routes unplayable at night time. If anything what I would like to...

I think you are reading too much into one item in an isolated picture. What I would respectfully suggest you do is play ETS2 or ATS, do a couple...

Depends whether changes to the lighting can be made via a core update which surely must be the root cause of the problem. Yes that might generate...

We need the F6 or similar function from TSC, or the equivalent in MSTS, that displays a text line above the location.

In the UK a similar crossing would be gated and the road user would need to phone the signaller for permission to cross. Or would have been...

Fair observation, but doesn’t detract from the fact that lighting in ETS2 and ATS is streets ahead of TSW.

He could have done it as an addendum to his own existing post, an either/ or option.

There’s a certain irony that a company which prides (no pun intended) itself on diversity, inclusivity and all the baggage that goes with it, then...

Well they should start to budget for it - the last new route I personally bought was Dresden to Chemnitz which, while better around station areas,...

Over there a few minutes ago and see the same route idea has been respammed twice today (the London to Princes Risborough one). Maybe it's just...

Why are you spamming the same idea twice? Reported.

Well if we come back to the OT, i.e. the grim looking night lighting, I would assert you don't need a company with $$$$$$$$ budgets and 500...

Class 309's were essentially the "AC" equivalent of the SR long distance Mark One based EMU's, CIG's, CEP's and REP's, but with the wrap round...
