Well DTG aren’t alone in this, just look at the mess which is still the new MS Flight Sim. Which brings me to another point. While generally I...
Probably driving through Colorado in ATS2 and wondering, "Wow, how come we can't get this sort of experience in TSW..."
Going back to the beginnings of Trainz, I remember a delightful little route called Robe River Iron, set in the Australian Outback. The session on...
Blackpool has been requested a few times, including by myself. There is also the famous Kusttram which runs along the Belgian Coast. Sometimes...
No issue if you do "cross country" in the broader none company sense of the word, when they were hauled by Class 45's/46's pulling rakes of blue...
It also doesn't look from that as if we get the branches either. Literally the 8 miles around the Circle and one type of rolling stock. If this...
It definitely needs to feel more like the “world”, not just static trains but general hustle and bustle. Games like GTA have had this for years...
TSW really needs a jigsaw ability like Run 8 or the ETS/ATS truck sims where territories can progressively be joined to provide an increasing game...
We need a path editor, or even better a path editor + like Zusi where you can choose the random chance of a diversion at diverging points.
Not generally, no. The 153's were scattered around the network on conversion whereas the dwindling Western Provincial fleet of 155's continued to...
Can’t beat Beagle Point, it’s the top spot. At least twice a year for me. Did Horizons ever come out? Mind, the free Farnhams Legend from Ego is...
For Steam, there's usually one around the 4th July (US Indie Day) so that's likely to be the first guaranteed one.
That sounds about right! Let’s just hope whoever is doing the stock for Rivet had the reference material. IIRC those original turquoise blue and...
The interiors are quite different. Fairly certain the original blue second and orange first class seat moquette had gone by then, second or...
I didn’t think of the PEGI rating as an issue selling beer. Maxpax tea then! Probably why you don’t see beer or wine etc. in the tablet games like...
I wonder if DTG have considered "cut down" train models for AI use only. That might keep the development cost down and would allow routes like...
Nice suggestion. You could also combine these with the Guard duty on non-DOO trains, as has also been suggested. Now, tongue firmly in cheek -...
I've recently been sidetracked (!) into playing the Moss Vale territory on SimSig and the more I experience it, the more I'm convinced part of the...
Actually that does bring up an interesting point I was considering earlier and could explain to some extent why the focus is on more recent...
Edinburgh to Dundee would be more interesting but of course is a JT route in TS. Outside the UK I think we mentioned Sacramento Northern,...
I voted for the second option. Although I don’t own ECW yet (hello summer sale) that to me would be a prime candidate for merging into L to B when...
The possibility of an Indian route was discussed recently in another thread. Desirable as it might be, there are probably just too many practical...
As I said earlier, Rivet offering to pluck the low hanging fruit...
Hopefully our resident Turbo driver will confirm, but I would imagine there is an overspeed sensor on a 166 which would kick in and kill the power...
"Nicking" a DCWA at Exeter was the standard move to replace an inbound 50 off a Down Waterloo with knackered brake blocks, due in no small part to...
Definitely not. Graffiti is a blight on society, even spread to relatively upmarket housing areas. If it was up to me, the vandals would be made...
Correct. By then they were in the NWRA (NSE Western), NSSA (Waterloo to Exeter) and DCWA (Civil Engineers) pools, so no booked work west of...
Correct. Going from my Wales and West experience there were no 150/1's in the West Country at that time. A small sub fleet of 150/2's was...
Good choice - with two caveats. Don't let Rivet anywhere near a route with more than a slight hill. It needs to encompass the whole route in one...
Wasn't LA Metro also in Speed, at the end? Dennis Hopper came a cropper (!) with one of the overhead signal supports.
Wasn’t the Chuo Line one of the routes in Densha de Go Final?
I suspect all three of these are potentially on DTG’s radar. As a fan of single track lines through remote and beautiful scenery, I would like to...
And as I said earlier, if someone at DTG could write the timetable and it worked, they’d be getting head hunted by. Network Rail for the real thing!
Wales and Scotland too. I know we are getting Cathcart but it’s another short commuter route with suburban stock, could be anywhere.
"Summer" could be anything from June 21st to September 21st though as 4COR suggests, August seems a good bet. Hopefully my replacement video card...
Seeing your forum name immediately reminded me of another EMU type that can go in the retro pack. And while on that subject we absolutely must...
Licensing, research - bearing in mind we are still in the grip of a pandemic which forbids or inhibits travel. The availability of a tried and...
I was just pondering that, really ought to be in there along with traffic off the Oxted Lines and all the other branches. In fact producing an...
Good suggestion, only caveat is could the TSW2 physics engine cope with rack operation and severe gradients?
Occurrence does seem random, but more likely if you haven't played the game for a few days or weeks. I'm guessing the only issue with not being...
Humour on... Apparently this is DTG's first retro train sim route... [ATTACH] Enjoy... Humour off...
Well London to Brighton alone makes this a Day 1 purchase for me, from Steam, not about to go cheap on them.
No one absolutely knows, it was visible to some people on the Wayback machine and appeared to be a bona fide DTG web URL.
Just added that thought to the rush hour thread. I would happily pay £30 for a 70's retro EMU pack. Also potential to throw in a Thumper or three...
Not only has the leaked page (someone will be getting tea and biscuits with Peter or Matt on Tuesday...) vanished but I can't get the Wayback link...
All for this. Also accompanied by dynamic routing from the signaller/despatcher so you could get diverted off the fast line to slow line or vv to...
Timetable mode also allows you to keep going, driving another train after your previous one, at least while the save game holds up.
The 648 in TS seemed a bit arcade-ish to me, with each throttle setting simply acting as a speed setting. 218 was good though and the route is...
You could go one step further and implement what happens in Run 8 if you immediately open the angleocuk fully - the PCS pops. You need to half...
I finally finished this scenario after completing up to the point where the AI loco hauls the surplus wagons away without saving and never set the...
Separate names with a comma.
