It's definitely not an ideal thing and is something that really needs to be focussed upon in future as it certainly does inhibit the experience....
I'm not even trying to suggest your definition is an incorrect one, I'm simply pointing out that other definitions exist and can be applied.
As you have stated there, 'I think', you have made an interpretation of the definitions based on your understanding of the context, which is...
You say that but it is not strictly true, here are three dictionaries, each with more than one definition of 'simulation', there are similarities...
You and I have very different interpretations of 'simulator' if you think that a flawed lighting system constitutes a failure to be a sim.
The historian in me is compelled to disagree (I'll overlook the sweeping statement that school pupils don't know what a dictionary is), discussion...
Well, for the sake of throwing my opinion into the ring, yes. The game sets out to imitate a real life process and therefore is a simulation....
Bear in mind this is a historic route what is the case today may not have been the case when the route is set.
Coincidentally I've also made a spreadsheet for this purpose, pretty much just out of curiosity for myself. If you want to take any ideas from it...
Something on the Northern TransPennine, I'm missing that route a lot whilst my computer is borked
As a complete guess something modern either in the Midlands or the North of England
As a quick comparison, as of writing ETS2 has 21 streams on Twitch with over 10 viewers (including 2 over 100), TSW2 has none above 5, TS doesn't...
I've barely played TS compared to TSW but if its still making money for DTG then why stop?
Merry Christmas all!
Will be good to see a UK focussed 3rd Party, looking forward to seeing what they come out with
Hmm, curious, maybe it is was an image from early development that somebody didn't realise was supposed to be released. Or we're getting some...
Were you using the same route to compare? There's varying performance between different routes
As far as I know it does not layer on to any other routes (so far)
Tbh, I'll take anything if we get some first gen EMUs out of it ;)
Wonderfully detailed suggestion, would love to have some 1st Generation Overhead units in the game (even if I'd rather have some East Anglian ones...
It's a rather difficult situation isn't it. How do you speed up the process with compromising quality? Or how to make testing more effective...
Passion is not a bad thing but it can certainly bring out extremes in people from time to time
I think there is a tenancy from some to treat it is an either/or situation where they believe DTG is only doing one thing at a time and therefore...
Hopefully once the main issues are dealt with they can get back on track with bug fixing
A late 50 or early 60s Great Eastern Main Line would be very cool with a unique mixture of traction. As a non-exhaustive list this could include...
It seems to me that PC modding is not what it once was either, driving/racing sims for example the highly moddable platforms of Assetto Corsa and...
The main problem I think is they've got into the unfortunate situation of having a number of significant issues to resolve: The Xbox sound...
Yeah, to be honest, most of the time I'm just watching the streams because they're entertaining to watch, all things considered it's quite...
I'm not really sure I'd be a fan of a subscription model, sure, it's a nice sustainable source of income towards continued development but I think...
In an ideal world that would be simple, sadly we don't live in an ideal world. For one thing, not all the developers are suited for bug fixing....
Would be nice to have a little extra variety nonetheless, it's a rare thing to see a freight train with a uniform consist of container flats. Even...
All things considered, TS in my time of playing it (roughly the same time frame as TSW), has crashed far more times than TSW. I only ever play TS...
Aye, I feel like we're all chomping at the bit to see the Preservation Crew's hard work be released. I'm very much looking forward to the updates...
All things considered I was having great fun with the game until my PC broke I've done a little bit on my old potato Xbox One (not an S or an X)...
Considering that Lamborghini have been making tractors since 1948, far longer than their car business has been around, I sincerely hope some come...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the 465 services aren't driveable
Whilst I won't be purchasing this (I only play UK routes) I do like the concept. A new piece of rolling stock, extra liveries and additional...
As I understand it, the problem is that the first roure for a country will be the most expensive to develop and that to get the best return on...
Yeah, I agree with this. As much as I don't want to sit here arguing for less content having Peaks and Whistlers passing by RR liveried 150s a...
Honestly, I'd like to see anything other than another modern 3rd rail route for the next release. Time for something different, I'd say. All I...
As I understand it, they originally planned it to be modern but due to some kind of complication with licensing it wasn't possible.
I'm not sure we need the 40s and 45s considering both were withdrawn by the late 80s, but the extra variety is appreciated, can't wait to get my...
Honestly, I could easily say all three. I love the Class 86s and 90s, these are the iconic locomotives of my childhood and they always put a...
It's not that English isn't a 'good' language, languages aren't good or bad, it's just what people are used to. I'm sure the vast majority of...
Technical I'd assume, the way the sound works is very different between the game engines and cannot be transferred easily, if at all.
The historian in me is compelled to say 'potentially biased' ;) But yes, I get what you mean, any kind of marketing (which is what the streams...
All things considered, would you rather have the team spend their time listing, categorising and sorting bugs for the bug 'roadmap', the vast...
I also suspect we'll see the Black Five as one of the first locos, I think it fits the balance of not too big and famous in case it's not up to...
The Great Eastern Main Line would be a good candidate for that. The Britannia Class locomotives would have been running the Expresses back then...
I'd rather have it on the GEML ;) Either way, I think it would be wasted running around the suburbs of Scotland, much better to have a route...
