I think you may have missed the irony or tongue-in-cheek element in Old Abe's quip.

I see this more in the way of an experiment, raising the flag to see how many players salute. If it meets DTG and TSG's sales threshold we may see...

" not ready to share this just yet " ; " we'll tell you more when we get closer to release " . Trouble is, if you eliminate all the PR and buzz...

I always watch it later so that I can skip over the boring sections and/or replay parts I didn't understand. I also have a gizmo on my tablet...

" It's not me who can't keep a secret. It's the people I tell that can't. " -- Abraham Lincoln.

Well, the 3rd party routes are listed individually on the Roadmap, so perhaps they should have used a word like " upcoming " instead of " new " to...

" including the 6 new routes that were added " -DTG. Can this really be true? There have never been that many new routes announced at one time...

Do you think DTG should be nationalized...? :D

Yes, we US fans are so used to getting the short end of the stick, it's no surprise anymore. It's clearer than ever that DTG couldn't give a fig...

Such nonsense. Many of us, perhaps most PC players have both games and play them alternately, sometimes on the same day. The market is virtually...

Not to us existing players maybe, but it matters in terms of marketing to potential new players in a competitive market where catchy titles seem...

Well, I don't know about the British, but about 16% of Americans have German ancestry. I'm sure most of them know where Germany is, including my...

I probably won't buy this anyway, given the price and the time needed to deal with the complexity. But the language issue puts the kibosh on any...

Given the prevalence of artificial intelligence in the game and now on the forum, I think it should be called TSW2001: A Train Odyssey

I wouldn't expect any expert-style UK or US locomotives in the foreseeable future. I don't even see any " standard " locos on the road map. Of...

At the risk of repeating myself, I thought we were already getting the features that are mentioned in the expert 101 article, detailed modeling,...

The implication being that there is no-one at DTG itself that has the skill set to build these " expert locomotives ". So we cannot expect this...

Tell me, is there any developer, policy, project or dlc, no matter how poor, indifferent or expensive or otherwise flawed that you wouldn't defend...

I can't help feeling a sense of irony about this thread. The discussion is about a German locomotive. There hasn't been a discussion about an...

As a general question, what do we think about a thread that is initiated or generated by artificial intelligence, if indeed that is the case here....

I quite enjoyed that series in HSC. But TSC is very different in that it is scenario- based whereas TSW is timetable-based. I don't have any...

DTG's best work is very good, but you have to go all the way back to SPG, NTP, TVL and BPE to find it. And they've only put out two routes this...

This is exactly my thinking too. In the seemingly unlikely event that a desirable American route comes with TSW5 or whatever it's called, I might...

Yes, why is each paragraph cut off mid sentence or mid word? And the whole post is " written " in a very formal ( not to say formatted ) style.

To me, this thread/poll whatever it is, just demonstrates once again that the Mods were right to ban polls last year and very wrong to allow them...

Silly poll. Doesn't even mention what exactly we are or aren't purchasing. There's no collective action in the player community, everyone makes...

Bring on the sinking cars, floating trucks and flying school buses at 1am. :D

Yes, a very fair and balanced review. I stopped playing AVL largely because of the scenery issues you mention. Plus single track commuter and...

Yes, I was talking about contracted 3rd parties. At this point in time, no-one in their right mind would suggest a " workshop " type environment...

Most of the content in TSC, particularly the older routes and trains, has been and is currently being produced by 3rd parties. It seems that DTG...

There are some nuggets of truth in what you say. But we have to be careful not to lump all console players into one homogenous group. There are...

Yes, and wouldn't it be nice to have some older 3rd rail routes and trains, perhaps some slam-door BR. Maybe a period BML with the " Brighton...

All you really need to do is to switch on " banking com " on the lead loco ( in the coms console left of the main desktop ). It doesn't need a...

This is good advice. Actually I use " save " every 10 minutes even if I'm doing an entire run, in case I screw up.

Yes, would like to see it revamped to current standards of scenery and lighting, perhaps with an extension eastward.

Lighting, whether you're talking about daylight, night time, headlights or the eye adaptation effect, has always been an Achilles heel for TSW....

Can't complete " Press Release " scenario due to red light tie up in approach to Glasgow Central. When stabling the train at Shields Depot at the...

Long time ago I was running a scenario on SPG and moving through Cumberland Yard, I found my path blocked by a couple of stationary locos....

There are some real downsides to " crossing over " and becoming a quasi- employee, aka beta tester. One is having to give up your freedom to post...

Well, the way I see it is rather different. For the first few years of TSW, DTG and partners had no problem building US freight routes, starting...

It's too painful for me.

I hope that there are no major changes in forum moderation policy. The free flow of ideas and opinions is what makes the forum such an interesting...

Excuse my relative ignorance of UK geography, but would Milton Keynes be that much of a terminal point? When I look at the map it looks more like...

I agree. This has been a problem with a number of recent routes like PFR, ECML, Glossop and FCL. Routes should really have important terminal...

I agree. We have enough members attempting to moderate the forums as it is. We certainly don't need a bunch of "trusties " lording it over the...

I would be absolutely astonished!!

A bit over the top, don't you think? A couple of us suggested that we weren't especially looking forward to trwncbm. And we're " revelling in...

Would love to see it too, but without the Metra license it's unlikely to appear.

OK, that would be news to those of us not privvy to internal DTG discussions. Matt P. has indicated that the NYC subway authorities have refused...

Well, as you pointed out, the New York subway is out of bounds for DTG, so why suggest exactly that.? More importantly, which Roadmap mentions...
