The big money is in the vast US market. Led Zeppelin, the Who, Pink Floyd, the Stones and the Beatles didn't become zillionaires off UK record sales.
It's even more lopsided if we look at vintage routes and locos. The UK has 2 routes plus a heritage railway (not to mention IOW), and multiple...
However, some players dislike commuter rail. I play TSW to drive trains, not stop them all the time.
But something seems wrong here- when cars are uncoupled, their brake pipes evacuate and the brakes should slam on. They oughtn't budge.
The problem with that analysis is you're only looking at passenger trains, which are about as relevant to US railroading as cruise liners are to...
Exactly. The Daylight Limited or Empire Builder back in the 1950s-early 60s would be a massive bestseller. We don't have to keep playing "how...
:):):):):):)
I have no idea how that post-segment appeared. Skyhook are from Liverpool, like the Beatles.
A third of the total
It's called "surfing the yellows" if one is running behind another train and the signal progression changes as the front train moves from block to...
It's also much less appealing than it used to be if one has Cathcart, because for whatever reason the mod that unlocks it populates GWE with...
IF DTG themselves provide the file hosting, then they can avoid the licensing issues which were a big part of the problem; easy enough for them...
Two things which DTG sometimes get wrong: 1) Many manual switches are spring switches, which reset themselves to their default position after the...
AIUI, Rivet did the trackside scenery, not the distant
I'm not sure where you're getting those US numbers from. By my count there are 6 North American routes released or pending: Sand Patch, LIRR,...
Tableaux.
On LIRR: muggings On SFJ: at the San Francisco end, homeless men defecating on the sidewalk
Exactly. Since there was nothing under 'Next Arrival' yesterday, we can assume nothing will be released between now and August 9.
Or Ruhr-Sieg Nord at Finnentrop.......
Yes, TSW accounts for passenger weight
It shouldn't be all that hard: when one starts a service, if one opens the "change livery" screen there could be a list of all available with...
If variability could be programmed into AI train speed, or even duration of AI train station stops (idiot got his suitcase stuck in the doors,...
Not unlike the 45, where the levers are on the floor between the seat and the cab wall,and even on PC you have to do some real contortions to get...
I don't think it's possible, if RL accuracy is wanted. GWR doesn't operate 150s on that line (except the very short St Ives - St Erth run); it's...
I think it's just because L comes before R in the alphabet.
No. It just means (and always has meant) that work has been completed, and says nothing about release date (except that it isn't imminent; that...
Another question, having to do with the distant Livery Designer 2.0- Legally, will/would it be possible to include decals of the logos of...
Joystick drift. As controllers get older, they wear in the thumbstick ball-joints and don't hold zero especially well.
And take two years to build
A quick question: will the Boston-Providence PIS boards be reworked visually to match the real ones? Please tell me that the LIRR boards in the...
"Upcoming" means that work has been finished and it's in testing. "In production" means they're still working on it. That doesn't mean that "In...
Sometimes actually he does; more usually it's done by the conductor(US)/secondman(UK), or by a brakeman (especially in reversing moves), or by a...
Could this palletisation tech also be applied to the cars on auto transporters? Make them not all pale grey?
I would say that passenger behavior/AI is one thing that has needed addressing for a long time: 1) Passengers stay aboard for depot runs, don't...
Actually I've seen that very viewpoint expressed on these forums.
IRL, some switches are operated remotely by central traffic control, but others (mostly in yards) are still hand-set. Both are needed to reflect...
It runs through one of the most densely populated and built-up parts of Germany. The effort required would be massive- multiplied by 3 or 4 given...
Not as part of Rush Hour- there's more than enough work to get that out on time with even a modicum of polish. Yes I would like to see Ebula, but...
A nice sentiment, but not a solution. "Attitude" and "want to" don't replace cold hard numbers.
I don't think it obscures it, I think it answers it. To escape the rut, higher pricing is necessary.
As Cathcart shows, even a very short branch can add a fair amount of variety.
Which means more developer hours which means more money.
It's pretty basic: your sales revenue has to cover your production costs. That's an irreducible minimum. Nobody is in business to lose money....
There are niches and niches. ETS/USTS, again has roughly 8-10 times the sales volume of TSW. Ergo, they can invest more in development, charge...
Beautiful logos! Are they downloadable?
This is a known issue which stems from the current game setting "winter" in timetable mode to an absurd date, with leafy trees. It will cease to...
I dunno; at the last Steam sale I got both HRR heavily discounted and the 101 somewhat discounted.
Frankly, these are so localised and often hard to spot that they are a less satisfying reward than the old TSW2020 dioramas.
I don't think you can really compare Run 8's barely adequate graphics, almost MSTS-level. A heckuva lot of development savings when you don't...
The problem with comparisons to ETS/USTS is that they sell roughly 8-10 times better than TSW. Trucks are simply more popular than trains, and...
Separate names with a comma.
