He showed up in this thread early on. Probably 2nd page or so. Just to be clear, before I accidently get anyone's hope up. Nothing's confirmed....
Well, sure, you have door control, but you can't perform any of your duties in multiple trains as the same time and be scored fairly at the same...
So, I was thinking about conductor mode and how it will be on some of the upcoming add-ons, and I'm seeing a bit of a problem. Specifically, some...
Yeah, I do recall something like that. Though that was a while ago. Nah, I don't really think this goes. Loco add-ons not being tied to their...
So, I was wondering something, and I wondered if any of you guys have any idea on this. Now that Dutch content is on the table, what do we know...
Yeah, I'm dying to know which route it is, also because he described it as being a "mini-nightmare". That would lead me to believe that, if it's...
To expand on this, for clarity for notleo the extra 4 on the southern section are the trains between Zwolle and Leeuwarden, which would go off-map...
Actually not. They tie the player outfit to the specific train and their operator. You notice it easily too when taking seats in different trains...
I was wondering. Any guesses and preferences on which NS driver clothing the player model driver is going to wear? The suite? The jacket? The...
Actually I kinda like the idea of Harper's Ferry. I remember seeing the place in a Hotell Hell episode of Gordon Ramsey and loving the look of the...
I mean, while having been taken out of service for passenger use on the DDAR only recently, 2019, they used to be the standard for NS passenger...
So, for me there are a few dream scenarios, and there's several ones I'd be greatly interested in and all of them would require a new country...
First of all, I'll second what Purno said, in that, a Dutch route without NS trains wouldn't really feel right. That said, I think this seems a...
I mean, to be fair, it's not that much of a problem per se. They're going to have to add coupling functionality to them in some capacity anyways....
I was just thinking, there's one small thing I do hope they do. While I do believe there is only going to be the 3-car ICM variant, and probably...
Rare, but not never :) Though I definitely do recall seeing them more in the past. Yeah, I've seen Series 6400 too, which could be a good choice...
Unlikely. If DTG were planning on doing a EU mainland variant of the Class 66, they could've done it years ago. It does appear here, on this...
Come to think of it, I really hope DTG will do combined traction/braking controls better. Of course you need to be able to quickly go from...
I kinda think that's the point actually too, in why they chose these two in particular. The ICM is the obvious star of the show, but the SNG is...
Don't think so, personally. I mean, they're usually set on making it as correct as it is in the specific window of time they're making it....
Yeah, same idea for now. Though I do plan on getting the Deluxe during a sale for the routes to use conductor mode and for Frankfurt - Fulda....
Surprised, yes, but partially also not actually. I recount Matt saying on multiple occasion on a livestream that the Netherlands and the ICM...
Yeah, I'm personally hoping that mainly for Zwolle. The main building as seen from the almost park like street is beautiful. Also, aside from some...
Come to think of it, there is one slight worry I have about this route in how they'll execute it, particularly at station Hoogeveen and a little...
Understandable, though just as long as they aren't so clean that they start looking plastic-like like some German trains in the game, specifically...
Personally I'm hoping they'll get the warm lighting of the ICM right, as well as the heavy driving sounds and the loud clicks of the cab switches....
So, I think for me, it depends on the route and how well the night lighting is on that route. Also, depends on the country and the systems too....
Yeah, and frankly, I think the focus should be on generating support from the foreign fanbase that isn't yet aware of what the Netherlands would...
We should get this guy to do the tutorial, obviously: [MEDIA]
For scenery, commuting on this route IRL daily, it's pretty scenic in a bit of a similar way to how Oldenburg - Bremen is. Though one of the...
140 is the general maximum line speed in the Netherlands, with a few exceptions on parts between Amsterdam and Breda. Full Sprinter run over the...
Just wondering what DTG is going to do with the achievements now that neither of the trains included have a number in their type name for the...
Took a moment to quickly draw out the map on a screenshot. As mentioned, about 105km with 8 stations, all visible on the map, except one. Zwolle -...
Can I ask where you got those rumors from? Because personally I find them a bit unlikely. While I would absolutely love it if Expert Mode became...
Yeah, so it's about a handful of freight trains a day, but mostly after dark. Most often I see 189's carrying them. Often carrying tankers....
Actually, just thought of it. At a lot of stations, there are postal dropboxes, and they are orange and would make for great collectibles. Maybe...
Prinsjesdag? AED's are actually a fantastic idea and promotes health and safety. But it would repeat a lot of German route collectibles, though...
Alright, everyone! Let's talk collectibles including maps. Usually I mostly ignore collectibles, especially if they're annoying and intrusive...
Actually... I think it should still be there, and I'm sure during surveying, the team has/will notice(d) that in the underpass in Zwolle, through...
Honestly though, that was already my plan. Though mostly because I'm not really interested in any of the routes or trains from either pack this...
So, not to speculate too hard on future routes, and there's plenty of interesting ideas also outside of the Randstad area, but a thought did pop...
No. Route hopping means changing route, especially on a station that exists on both. Say, you start at Wuppertall, go to Hagen Hbf, then change...
Routewise, Zwolle - Groningen & Tadami. Nothing else even compares. Featurewise, conductor mode. Hope both routes above will have it :)
Yeah, but it still just wouldn't work. You would get a route with German trains, set for 80% in Germany, with most stops being in Germany. It'd...
Nice pic. Also, the iconic look of the orange cablight in the dark. I hope they capture it well. There's several specific things about the ICM I...
Sure, and I've seen them. But when I say "in service" I quite meant "in commercial service" in this specific region, which they're not yet.
Yeah, but I got the feeling reading the article that this route will exclusively feature the ICM-3 variant, with only 3 carriages. Also,...
NS ICNG are lovely. And they will eventually also be on the Zwolle - Groningen line at some point. But currently they're still being tested...
No, but what's stopping you from doing it yourself? ;) Other than pressumably being Belgian
