Nice idea in theory, but the main catch I can see is that every single train on the field, yours and the AI trains, is going to have to be...
If the train is propelled by Viking oarsmen in each car and has a dragon head on the prow, I'm in.
The best toast is scorched.
Talking of research, here's the result of some research into DTG's nefarious plan to gradually sideline realism in their own sim. Or maybe just...
Yep, exactly. Although this makes me wonder if you thought you were replying to the person I was replying to rather than to me.
My dad once told me that his definition of a nanosecond was the amount of time a test Brussels sprout stayed in my mouth as a baby. He said I got...
Are you kidding? People don't worry in the least if their complaints are based in reality. "Looks good enough" isn't acceptable for the game,...
I'm sure a smaller company like DTG is much easier to negotiate with in general compared to some of those giants, and also will have less red tape...
Cross-contamination is real.
Asked for one time in this forum, maybe, but there's more ways people might have asked. Might possibly be pedantic to point out that even if it...
I have both Peanuts cartoons and Dario Argento horror movies on my video shelf, and they accept each other unconditionally.
Sure it can; that's still all it is, one DLC among 115 (or more by that time) that can be freely added or ignored by everyone. Now, if Thomas...
Just a point, but this room isn't the only room. DTG may be working from input received elsewhere. Or they just decided that Thomas was big...
Which did you end up choosing? Also, well said.
"I'm not interested in this" is very different from "this shouldn't exist and how dare they even make it". The first is an opinion, the second is...
Running Thomas at 300+ kph on LGV could be fun. [ATTACH]
I wouldn't say so. This got the biggest reaction by a mile (sorry, kilometer), and I don't see any of the other reveals having nearly the same...
I can't wait to see how Thomas does in next year's loco cup. Congrats to WCMLOS and its team, and to trainsimplayer for successfully pulling off...
I'm sure that's their hope, although I'm also sure they'd have an out if it utterly bombs. On the plus side, I saw this quote from you while...
I'm obviously just making a guess here, but given that they have tried/are trying other standalone games (e.g. Catan, two trams), which tend to be...
This is kind of exactly what I meant--people who aren't interested themselves needing to claim that "most/all of the people who actively follow...
The completely unexpected Thomas reveal was good for a genuine laugh; props to DTG for going outside the box and delivering a proper surprise....
Shining a spotlight is effective and necessary. Rudeness, nonsensical hyperbole (like the post right above yours, a frequently parroted...
I regret to say, this might be the right forum after all.
Seems like posting a list of results so far only two hours into a 30+ hour poll could have much the same effect. I'd suggest keeping that kind of...
Providing these allows others to try duplicating your situation exactly. Happily, Pipe was able to provide a solution that worked for you anyway,...
It's not TSW, it's Steam, and happening with numerous games.
Very happy to see this back. I'm especially looking forward to the locos, since that got derailed last time.
Oh, definitely, me either. I'm sure they don't mind that the money's still coming in and they have some breathing room for the future, though. :)
My memory says that multiplayer tended to come in at or near the top of requested features, while VR is always at the bottom. Am I remembering...
It's going to be interesting to see what ends up happening here. The PS5 debuted to a unique situation in 2020, and supplies were short until...
It's a good argument for Gen 8 players to drop it, as the downscaling will only increase by necessity as time goes on. The only good argument for...
Yeah, that was my point. I was just doing a quickie test to demonstrate.
Gen 8's done when Gen 8 players are done with it. It's getting there, but not yet.
I'm guessing there's not much more they can do. I just ran the 8 gb Cajon Pass PAK file thru 7-Zip and got a whopping 4% savings, and that's...
After a 10 mph coupling attempt, I started moving the external camera to the target cars and watching my well-lit train approach from there.
The official announcment does say: ...which granted isn't quite as specific.
I think the only thing wrong is that you're running a game on day one that wasn't nearly ready on day one. Comments like yours are appearing...
The big question would be, why would people buy and play DTG's bus sim instead of one of the big, established ones? What niche could they fill...
I agree with Jan that a fictional train/route presented in a realistic manner could be fun, but disagree with: I know that sounds have been...
I picked this up to have a casual racing game to dip into on my PC, and it's quite fun. Early on, I won a giant 1963 VW van variant that came...
More time spent developing routes = more cost to DTG, fewer routes per year = less revenue for DTG. That's not a recipe for business survival....
Remember that you can walk around outside the train, and also that there are multiple external cameras.
That's very cool! Greatly looking forward to playing it again with the updates. Will this be a patch in the end, or will it have to be a...
Spiffy new Metra livery honoring veterans. [ATTACH]
When you created this task series, did you set out to give the player something bonkers like driving a train with the loco in the middle and cars...
Wouldn't that be quadrupling -- doubling in both dimensions? Even worse.
I had one like this also, except we had circuit breakers. I remember being the one who tripped it one time, when my coffee percolator switched...
Separate names with a comma.
