I would go along with this, but how about a new route - King or Castle class out of Birmingham Snow Hill? The route could be Banbury to...
No idea if the prototype behaves that way in real life, but if, for some reason, operators do not use it real life - has to be a reason - then it...
Makes an interesting comparison with the Beeching years in the UK. It is easily overlooked, after all the wailing about Beeching, that the UK Govt...
Is there an open source for that drawing?
"Silly analogy, Apple is building its own closed empire." Not so silly - DTG effectively has a nearly closed empire, at least with trains (I would...
All of the discussion ultimately comes down to time and money. DTG have the skills given those two elements. Forget porting to a different game...
The comment that DTG chose a game engine unsuited to this sim is either uninformed, or the user has additional knowledge he did not choose to...
I was going to dive into this shxx fest - and then I thought, why not go and hang out with my dog...so over and out...
Unfortunately, I would need to buy all the DLC listed as requirements, but the video on their page is remarkably realistic - sounds match my...
Those of you dreaming that a game engine change will improve things (especially QA) need to do some reading on game development. From the DTG...
I am as bemused as everyone else by the failure to notice obvious issues in updates, but the incredible delays in releasing a fix I think are...
There is a solution for AP scenarios - TSTools for consist substitution. Admittedly, a few hours of trial and error sometimes
While we are on the subject of track sounds and immersion - has anyone noticed if the prototypical 'grinding' noise from the sleepers/trackbed is...
All this talk of 'DTG Flywheel' is so much nonsense. As with most games with a specialized fanbase and a non-subscription business model, the only...
Omitted to state I refer to people/animals, not machines
In my opinion (a required prefix it seems these days) animations in just about all simulations (as opposed to some games) are pretty unconvincing,...
Exactly - and I assume the in-game icon was indicating the damper fully closed, which means steam generation is even more inaccurate. if the icon...
"Ha ;), good luck with starting in the shed at 4:00 with the grease can to do tasks for the 5:30 train." Ahem...if you really want to do the full...
Maerdy expanded to Pontypridd would ring my bell - was born there - Maesycoed above the sidings!
"The 08 started being built in 1952, and they stopped building them in 1962." Sounds like a case for a gronk layer for Moggy! We already have the...
I noticed in the stream that Matt had blower first level and damper fully on all the time - the damper should have reduced steam generation to at...
I believe we are all wasting our time looking for route mergers, primarily because of the combined complication of operational era of the route...
Looking at these images reminds one - a country such as the UK should have been ashamed to have equipment in such condition...
I believe the Dover extension is currently on sale on Steam - don't know whether you would consider it 'big':)
Denny G I think asked the right question - why, when there is so much obsession with controls working correctly, do DTG make a counter-intuitive...
I was on the point of buying the Classic update. Won't bother now until that issue is fixed. I am comfortable with swapping locos when I wish, but...
Solicitr, in this case, I believe you prove I K Brunel's general drift. Late BR never received the level of investment to maintain, let alone...
Nostalgia is what motivates a lot of train enthusiasts. For me it is the clinking of coal wagons being shunted in a South Wales valley, the...
DTG made the right decision on FSW. They did not have the resources or tools to compete in that arena, particularly with someone else's...
The Big Mac index was developed by The Economist as a quick and dirty way to measure relative consumer costs around the world. It is not good at...
I echo DTG Protagonist above - except that passionate and demanding is one thing from the community - downright insulting is quite another.
This trollfest is a perfect example of why we are going to miss Natster!
I have not made any changes to the gameusersettings.ini file, but on checking I see that AudioQualityLevel=0. Disappointing, since I figured I...
Regrettably, I doubt the Northampton loop will be added, missing the chance to make the route correctly timetabled. Where is Joethefish when you...
As others have mentioned, many of these features have been in TS for years. For instance, main breaker trip on ammeter overload and neutral...
Water in Lophroaig? Must be from down there!
Actually, you obviously were quoting - if unknowingly:)
I would hope that, in addition to HMA, it will also be subsitutable on RRO, since they also were in service on that route - also, refurbished...
There was a mention of X-Plane and too much authenticity impacting the learning curve. That is a mistatement - X-Plane provides the opportunity to...
From the little I know of route mergers, it would seem that a far easier option would be to introduce a new route which merges with an existing...
In case the OP is still confused, here are the location of the files to be copied from GBRJ...
The elephant in the room may be the increasing similarity of modern consists, especially EMUs, which in the long run may start to limit interest...
I think it could be argued it is a foreign loan-word ;)
RIP Stephen Wilhite, genius coder, inventor of the .GIF, fallen to COVID. One of the great contributions to the web. If you wonder why here - he...
There are smartphone app translators - you could try playing the files outside of the game and trying the phone app.
The editor works just fine for changing the driven consist. TSTools comes into it's own when you are changing a number of AI consists
