I think it would take up a lot of programming effort that could be better spent on other things.

And how are they supposed to do that if no "trains with synthesized sounds" are released? How are they supposed to police every single user's...

Well since no one has bothered to explain how the physics are simplified...

Commit to making a serious effort to fixing the massive backlog of bugs - and I'd like to remind everyone in this thread that I'm compiling a list...

Because I'm the only one who's spawned the Clinchfield and Holiday Express F7s next to each other and examined how the brakes behave!

These are exactly the same brake controls as the Clinchfield F7!

And how exactly is the community supposed to indicate that they would approve of inaccurate sounds if accurate sounds were unable to obtain? They...

The community doesn't "allow" anything - that's DTG's decision to make.

He does not.

Citation that AP develops the physics for their locos.

Please provide your citation.

Well for starters I doubt AP developed the physics of the Class 350 they sell, and the true point of comparison should always be the real thing...

Have you actually played the Holiday Express DLC? The F7 did not have simplified physics and was not especially simple to play and operate.

The question then is how all the many, many non-DTG US freight train sim devs do it...

The F7 didn't have simplified physics.

I would be interested to see if the TSW Editor is harder to use than the Unreal Editor... There are constructive conversations happening - but...

[Removed - Alex: Inappropriate]

Well, that's true of any DLC.

I think Focus probably doesn't care about the specifics of DLC beyond how much money they bring in vs. how much money they cost to make. Matt is...

He is the producer...

He frequently attacks "TSW fans".

You repeatedly attack the person.

Yet you continually make snide remarks about TSW!

Thomas the Tank Engine is big international business and very well known in the US at least.

What was the precise quote?

Though at present all you can do is drive a single scenario...

Those aren't simplified controls at all, those are identical to the brakes on the full-fat F7! The only thing missing from the Holiday Express F7...

Why do people keep writing utter nonsense about the Holiday Express? It features a fully functional F7.

Of course from what I understand you're limited to a tiny handful of scenarios on it...

I would place actual real money on Thomas not having simplified controls.

Originally in the US Thomas the Tank Engine episodes were broadcast in a longer framing show called Shining Time Station. Ringo Starr played Mr....

Hopefully, though I doubt that was a condition of the license...

I'm sure Forza fans could reel off a bunch of complaints with FH4!

The Holiday Express F7 was pretty much the same as the Clinchfield/ATSF F7 and not really dumbed down at all.

I have no idea why you feel the need to insult TSW players like this.

Nostalgic fans. Little kids are not watching the Thomas show with a Thomas that looks like the one in the DLC.

This DLC isn't aimed at four-year-olds.

And those people are wrong. The Holiday Express wasn't driven like an electric engine despite being a model train...

I don't. The Holiday Express wasn't...

I doubt Mattel is going to market this - their focus with Thomas is with the pre-school market with All Engines Go, not the nostalgic fans this is...

I can't imagine Thomas will be any simpler than the steam locos already in TSW, the Holiday Express would have made sense to be simple to control...

In practical terms they are - they already supply sounds for a lot of stuff, and that's all AP themselves do for TSC (loco etc. development is...

A round of applause for stujoy, please.

So we can expect improvements to steam simulation, right? Right?

I would suspect that JT are in a far more precarious financial situation than DTG!

Counterpoint - the tunnel is the famous part and would be very quick to develop.

I doubt JustTrains are doing it as a passion project!

I think that profit is not solely based on sales!

And videos of screenshots of already announced content will excite social media? If you're talking about "will work with multiple consoles", then...

I am not so certain that this is good game dev practice...
