The top three routes at the time were the three included ones, as one would expect, but a top ten list gives you plenty more to work with.

There were also expressions of surprise that WCMLS made it through two rounds of the tournament. Good recent example of how some people's...

Back in the TSW2 days, Sam posted a couple of top 10 lists of most played routes covering the past year and all-time. Three versions later and...

I have family that moved to Southern California and is happy to be away from this weather. And yet now they have to send increasingly regular...

When I was young, we moved right by a Metra line, and just a couple blocks from a station. I was fascinated by these big noisy beasts that...

Ha! Didn't notice that one. Did that community also predict the apocalypse?

I just saw that a Wallace and Gromit DLC is coming soon to Powerwash Simulator. Will the horrors of frivolity never end?

A single DLC is not a trend toward anything, any more than me drinking a single beer is an ominous sign of impending alcoholism. No company can...

Bummer, but thanks for the effort! I'm sure this situation is much more frustrating for you than us. Any chance of posting a snapshot of things...

Matt did say in a stream that walking was originally a more realistic speed, but that was way too slow in practice, so it was sped up to make...

I guess those of us who've played RPGs for decades have an advantage here, because saving is just automatic for me. Very disappointing that TSW...

You joke, but when TSW2 Rush Hour was delayed by a few days, there were indeed some people calling for just that.

CTA diamond?

It's officially "L", but El is also heavily used and is not considered incorrect.

Oh, yes, and in addition to the longer travel time, the Zephyr is prone to being delayed by rockslides and such, as it does wind extensively...

I've ridden the Southwest Chief quite a few times end-to-end to visit family in CA, so I can maybe offer a little. However, Reddit's Amtrak sub...

He's answering your questions; that's not bickering. Inventing reasons to argue however...

Very sorry you had to deal with that. Hopefully you're able to take Jan's message to heart and feel safe to return at some point.

Chin up, if that's the only hiccup that surfaces in this huge project, you've done much better than I would do. Building and running these...

Both are fine, as long as you have plenty of space for airflow however you set it up. Vertical uses less shelf space, but requires a stand that's...

Well, sure, I don't think people on the forums being disappointed is unreasonable given that few people in Thomas' target age bracket are to be...

The DLC isn't responsible for people's behavior, just the people , and most have calmed down. And it can't be cancelled at this point, nor would...

As a lifelong resident, I would love to see Chicago, but sadly Metra and CTA aren't cooperating. Between those two local operators, our status as...

You keep simultaneously saying that this DLC is both going to fail and succeed. You also say that it is "universally" not wanted and that it is...

I've heard good things about that show but have never managed to check it out. I'm sure it's somewhere on my way-too-long watch list.

I did read it and interpreted it as best I could. Your explanation above does help clarify what you meant, but I'm still not sure how that's a...

Using a feature that's there to be used isn't cheating IMO.

How would you do an Amtrak long distance route to make it both fun to play and business-sensible? These routes run from 830 to 2,730 miles long....

Or, if it succeeds as well as DTG hopes, the people attacking it will...still be saying that it was the biggest mistake DTG has ever made, because...

Nice idea in theory, but the main catch I can see is that every single train on the field, yours and the AI trains, is going to have to be...

If the train is propelled by Viking oarsmen in each car and has a dragon head on the prow, I'm in.

The best toast is scorched.

Talking of research, here's the result of some research into DTG's nefarious plan to gradually sideline realism in their own sim. Or maybe just...

Yep, exactly. Although this makes me wonder if you thought you were replying to the person I was replying to rather than to me.

My dad once told me that his definition of a nanosecond was the amount of time a test Brussels sprout stayed in my mouth as a baby. He said I got...

Are you kidding? People don't worry in the least if their complaints are based in reality. "Looks good enough" isn't acceptable for the game,...

I'm sure a smaller company like DTG is much easier to negotiate with in general compared to some of those giants, and also will have less red tape...

Cross-contamination is real.

Asked for one time in this forum, maybe, but there's more ways people might have asked. Might possibly be pedantic to point out that even if it...

I have both Peanuts cartoons and Dario Argento horror movies on my video shelf, and they accept each other unconditionally.

Sure it can; that's still all it is, one DLC among 115 (or more by that time) that can be freely added or ignored by everyone. Now, if Thomas...

Just a point, but this room isn't the only room. DTG may be working from input received elsewhere. Or they just decided that Thomas was big...

Which did you end up choosing? Also, well said.

"I'm not interested in this" is very different from "this shouldn't exist and how dare they even make it". The first is an opinion, the second is...

Running Thomas at 300+ kph on LGV could be fun. [ATTACH]

I wouldn't say so. This got the biggest reaction by a mile (sorry, kilometer), and I don't see any of the other reveals having nearly the same...

I can't wait to see how Thomas does in next year's loco cup. Congrats to WCMLOS and its team, and to trainsimplayer for successfully pulling off...

I'm sure that's their hope, although I'm also sure they'd have an out if it utterly bombs. On the plus side, I saw this quote from you while...

I'm obviously just making a guess here, but given that they have tried/are trying other standalone games (e.g. Catan, two trams), which tend to be...

This is kind of exactly what I meant--people who aren't interested themselves needing to claim that "most/all of the people who actively follow...
