I would imagine pressure from on high both fiscal and Paul Jackson mithering for “his” Crewe experience. Though it would be interesting to learn...
Not sure of the mechanics how it all works, but would assume if the sounds are present on the loco and stock these have to be triggered by a...
Well they get away with it in movies, somehow. Watched “The Book Thief” last night (excellent and very moving) and there were swastikas...
I suspect at this point we probably need to redirect from the gender etc. of the footplate crews to more pressing matters…
Not TS specifically but I have often found DEM data at odds with mapping data, whether Google, OSM or even US Topo maps. Take both as a rough...
In reality you would have a shunter walking ahead of the train to set the points ahead of it. At certain locations you might even have a ground...
This is the problem. Run 8 sort of fills the gap for the US but costs a fortune if you want all the routes and train sets. There’s also no...
And this is why I have no faith when they say SoS will get patched up. LtoB has been out nigh on a year now and apart from a bit of tweaking to...
Indeed. I just have this feeling Crewe to Liverpool was forced on them to keep the Big Boss happy and they simply got overwhelmed by the vastness...
When a highly respected developer for TSC is saying this, then DTG should be sitting up and taking notice. There seems to be a lack of humility...
There is a subtle difference between what a player chooses as their avatar and an actual figure portrayed in the game. Either it's a historical...
Same here. Eyeing up the TSC 8F and Jubilee, also China Clay recommended due to my delight over Maerdy. So the money will still end up with DTG,...
Re the fireman, I think it's more the case this has been touted as a time capsule in simulation form (minus all the unfinished/broken bits) but...
After finishing up the first electric scenario which I passed but ended up minus a gazillion points due to taking my time I started one of the...
That must be the case as by their own admission there are no track sounds.
Brings a whole new meaning to the song lyrics, "Come on baby, light my fire..."
Point is though, this is basic stuff coming to light not last minute snags. As a company DTG have been doing this for years, since RSDL days and...
I'm presuming the no track sound extends to points and crossings too. A bit of a showstopper as you say for a steam era route. They might have got...
It's a fudge, pure and simple.
TBH I am totally astonished that the lack of track sound has been overlooked until such a late stage. This IMHO is even worse than the missing...
So do we think there will be a TSC sale in the next few days or couple of weeks? Seriously thinking of redirecting my pre payment from the...
Class 31 on TVL gets its own sub Journey mode which is good, though as related above one or more of the runs might be a bit twitchy. IMHO the...
There is a nice little diorama on Return to Maerdy… On the first scenario with the J94 you pass the sister loco sitting knackered in the runaway...
Thanks Lamplight, that is most - well - not encouraging at all. This DLC has major issues and it seem still being frantically worked on yet they...
With so many SoS threads kicking around getting a bit confusing where to post about what. Anyhow can anyone who watched last night’s stream state...
Still rather confused by the whole thing. We have a route due for a release a week tomorrow yet significant coding changes still ongoing. As I...
Well I guess I get 1hr and 59 minutes to try... Are you saying things seemed better in the stream this evening?
Personally I think before suggesting any further steam routes, we take a cold hard assessment of the state in which Crewe to Liverpool looks like...
I will have to pencil that in - another one I always meant to get round to trying but never did.
I haven't watched the stream yet but have to say this is shaping up more and more as an early access level title, whether it's the incomplete...
No reason why not, though probably doesn't have any steam heating apparatus fitted. They were certainly used as carriage pilots in some areas,...
Yes I can recommend Cane Creek, basically a bit of magic in the scenery department even makes the relatively flat section look great, in a way...
Ironically this time round I want to get some TSC stuff which I don’t think has gone on sale, yet.
Yes if only because “Dutch” and “hills” is a contradiction in terms and this proves The Netherlands is not all flat polder and canals!
It would be nice to see a demonstration of the more complex steam locos in expert mode, like the Bossman 8F or the Jinty.
Well we don't even know for sure if they are even still working on SP2 and no one at DTG seems prepared to even discuss with the users anymore.
I too am torn between TSC and TSW at times. There's no doubt TSW with its all day timetable has potential but is then hindered by the short routes...
Bit late to the party on this one, but following a suggestion and discussion in the TSW section I realised I had never got round to buying either...
It's a bit of an oddity though as there's plenty of detailed Heathrows in the various flight sims at terminal and runway/taxiway etc level even...
Is Is that the Gevo? I can't remember if it was here or discussing the Run 8 version that the engine note doesn't change between the higher notches.
I also remember the 317's when they came out, very spartan reminded me of a New York subway train. Like most of that generation units no effort...
Well the bottom end of the MML isn't too bad as southern UK scenery goes. There are several tunnels as the line cuts through Chiltern ridges. Dare...
