Well, you're right, I don't like emus very much. Their simple nature makes them low hanging fruit for DTG and not very interesting to drive for...

That's very shortsighted in my opinion. Steam traction accounts for perhaps 70% of railroad history and cannot be ignored by a game that calls...

Well we're here to discuss trains, specifically in relation to TSW. Don't quite see how your post fits in. Plus, since many of us are from...

I think everything has been said that needs to be said on the LIRR license and safety systems. Persistently beating this dead horse is in no one's...

Yes, DTG has pretty much closed the book on steam traction. Diesel too apparently, that poor lonely old Class 66 must be worn to a shred by now...

Yes, only had time for some short runs so far, but all working well, cab signalling pretty straightforward after a little practice, great...

Sounds great. I'd rather have the extra freight layers and stop passenger service at Tamien if that's the compromise needed though I'm not sure...

I'd be willing to bet that none of the established modders for TSW will create a mod which does what the OP wants. They have the welfare of the...

Maybe calling it "LIRR2 " indicates that we consider it to be a remake or " remaster ".

It's a bit confusing. Doesn't LIRR qualify as a remastering, in that signalling and timetable ( and some scenic aspects ) were revamped in...

Hmm. Your life maybe. ;)

Yes, there's nothing wrong with electric traction per se. It's these colorful, silent- running toy-like emus with their prison cell style...

Since the demise of steam, diesel and freight, the Roadmap has become rather dull and predictable. A to B, electric toy trains running commuter...

I wouldn't use the " L " word either. But would you allow for " careless " to describe minor bugs like date and spelling errors that drive some of...

The suspension feature is something of a white elephant anyway, in my opinion. Will it really be an improvement to gameplay? The movement of the...

The same. And I haven't been back to Glossop since my first couple of runs. The absence of diesel, steam and freight has cooled me on the game in...

Yes, there's no one national standard in the US. Each railroad can devise its own system as long as it complies with FRA safety regimens.

I always start with the scenarios. I know most of them are rather mundane, but occasionally some author(s) will have a flash of imagination and...

Curiously the subscription price only appears in UK £'s. Does that mean it's only available to UK players or can we choose our own exchange rate? ;)

Why?? Some of us have children and quite like to visit them.

Oh you mean the common sense that started the Great War, the Great Depression, disco music and one handled emus. That common sense? Ah yes, the...

Enough already!! It's enough to try the patience of a saint. And I should know.

Of course, if you purchase TSC or TSW, it's not like buying a car. You don't actually own the software. You are granted a license with a bunch of...

OP, Please rename this thread " Conspiracy Theory HQ "

Not so much that, I think the trains themselves are fairly easy to drive. But, having normal hearing myself ( apart from the usual age- related...

If you're wondering whether you should watch Matt's tutorial, stop wondering and watch it! It's short but really good and useful.

The assembly line cannot be halted in order to fix bugs or introduce long promised features. So the next iteration of TSW along with its route...

I keep hearing this but I've never read those words on the forum. Since you use quotation marks perhaps you could reference the quote. Players...

Did anyone else notice that trains on the preview stream were empty of passengers? I wonder if this is a feature of the release version. I'll take...

I doubt that a major upgrade like LIRR2 could be accomplished by a single person encamped in an attic late at night following his or her dream. A...

Waiting patiently for something is a characteristic in limited supply on the forum. :D

Yes I was thinking of that old model from the original NEC route but it could be any CSX loco, perhaps the Sand Patch GP38-2 or the wonderful...

This is a big problem. If DTG is not willing to use its current stable of freight locos and integrate them into passenger routes, even as AI, then...

That's a reckless idea. I certainly hope that no modder will attempt this. It could put a lot of US routes, including this one, in a perilous...

I get that, but I just wonder if DTG are making a serious effort to acquire these licenses. I don't look forward to US routes which are strictly...

After watching the stream and looking through the screenshots ( which were quite stunning ) I preordered. This was my first purchase since...

Well no. I'm sure I could list a whole slew of products that succeed with a very small customer base. Plus, if train simulators are not...

A wise decision. You may not know this, but polls were actually banned in the forums for more than a year because they were becoming too frequent...

Once again you're getting Economics 101 backwards. It's simply wrong to assume that when companies receive greater revenue, they will...

That's very interesting and something I was unaware of. On the other hand I can tell a Class 66 from an SD70ace in TSW, even though they have...

Is that a " Pope Mobile " I see parked there?

Posting simply for the sake of boosting your presence on the forum wil not do you any favors with the rest of the membership. It's just annoying,...

I bought it on release, ran up and down the line a couple of times, realized how little replay potential it had and promptly refunded it. It is...

Well it would certainly mean that there could be no more new American locos, since access is currently impossible. The other point I would make...

Well, plenty of players seem to love driving those emu's which basically drive themselves as long as you keep your hand on the joystick. It's not...

I'm not sure how many of these " whingeing addicts " there really are but I think many US freight fans would be happy to see more of some locos...

No. In this instance he's drawing reasonable conclusions from what Matt P. has said more than once.

Couldn't have put it better myself. The only reason I can think of why this isn't being done is that it's not profitable. And there's nowhere to...

Well every time this question comes up my answer is the same ( so far ). British Rail Class 101 CN GP9RM Class 20 ( last minute addition ).

Well I don't know much about the Lincoln branch, but my recollection of the Doncaster-York stretch is a snooze fest with monotonous scenery. But a...
