N3V were doing it about every three years with Trainz, but thus far haven't popped out a TRS2025 or 2026 to replace TRS2022.
Technically it's a pre-purchase rather than a pre-order. In return for the various parties getting your money now, you get a 10% discount and a 5...
Well DTG should be mentoring these start up developers and encouraging them. Depending on how far the Class 104 was on, they could have done a...
I go on the side of no longer having annual releases as a new game. The whole thing is getting too big for that with the amount of ever increasing...
Plenty of scope later for an East Cornwall Local, Plymouth to Newquay with the Gunnislake and Looe Branches!
I would say probably not. The first terminating point west of Plymouth would be Liskeard (for the Looe Branch) which is 20 miles or so extra and...
Definitely this. If you’re going to have an ongoing flow of DLC to support your game and that DLC itself is of a massive size then you really need...
Will the DB BR294 have the combined power and brake handle? Found this out after being unable to apply the brakes in Zusi 3 with the usual +- keys...
Update: Now answered on the Zusi forum. The 294 has a combined throttle/brake handle so you use the 8 and 2 Numpad keys. I wonder if the...
Asked this over on the Zusi forum but Carsten has requested more information which I won’t be able to give until later. Anyhow, thought I would...
True. Even if we didn’t get the 104, I’d take the timetable with a backdated 101.
If my knowledge of GWR Cucumber operations is correct the 800’s are largely confined to the flatter routes - Paddington to Bristol and South Wales...
I personally think it is dead and buried, just that neither Simtrack or DTG seem prepared to come out and confirm the fact.
Perhaps the Epic Games “revolt” will be a wake up call. Epic this year, Sony and Steam next year. They need to spend some of the considerable...
I think the PlayStation was to manage local storage rather than PS Store concerns over the amount of data they have to store for DLC or bandwidth...
Think I may have mentioned, Ben Elias (the guy who does some of Don Coffey’s stuff) recently uploaded an Exeter to Penzance cab ride on YouTube,...
I did subsequently buy Cardiff City after I found it lurking in a bundle. Ludwig can still wait for a sale. I think £58 on the Deluxe version of...
To be fair I think it depends on the route and is somewhat subjective. A significant extension to one of the UK routes I mentioned would be Day...
Pray tell more?! I mean, I'm already planning a bit of a cull on what I bring across to TSW6 but that will be my choice.
My main concern about this is that while their TSC routes themselves were nice, the trains seemed rather basic particularly sound implementation.
Thanks for that as my attempts to get a run going in Zusi 3 were not very successful! First time the cab graphic was corrupted, second time I had...
About to fire up Zusi 3 to give their BR294 version a run, but just wondered if our German friends could share what the difference is between the...
Just looking at the course of this route on Open Street Map makes me wonder how far away this will be in practice, particularly if the team...
Why nothing specific for the Rail 200 celebrations? This would have been the ideal opportunity to rework and extend TVL and provide a basic...
Well I think with the decision to pluck Dresden to Riesa from the back catalogue and extend it to Leipzig, the oft trotted out mantra about...
An 810 would be awesome!
Will have to agree to differ. Scenery wise going to Leipzig from Riesa was a borefest in TSC, but I will be fair and await final judgement once I...
Further to my earlier questions: While noting the popularity of the South Devon Line it seems a curious choice for the debut of the Class 802 when...
Thanks for that, my hopes of running a Pannier tank on the Dartmouth or Buckfastleigh Line evaporated on watching the Direct stream last night....
Epic today, Steam or PSN tomorrow? There must come a point at which the other platforms call "enough is enough" and call time on the annual...
Okay to start the ball rolling… Core updates and features. Why nothing on the Save Game? More and more content but still only one save slot. More...
Probably Day One for the 140. As noted the era is a bit fuzzy, but would this route have seen UIC coaches on D trains? We sorely need them in TSW.
It’s strange because their TSC portfolio is quite widely spread, albeit they have done a similar exercise with their MML and West Of England...
Then it looks like they have to wait for a sale, unfortunately. As I just posted above a very poor marketing decision. I mean I was borderline on...
TSC can be very fickle though and is now in (low) maintenance mode from DTG. High detailed routes can CTD on you, load into a saved game and find...
Given the price rise compared to last year a rather poor decision. I mean, I’ve ordered Deluxe for the PC but for PS5 I might have been tempted to...
I presume at some point a formal Q&A thread will be posted by DTG. My biggest single question at this stage has to be, in return for parting with...
Yes we know how the JT business model sometimes works from their TSC stuff, notably the Met Line where you had to buy the stock separately. I...
There’s actually quite a lot of CD stock in Trainz, including the various “Grumpys” all of which have original, noisy, sound sets. So at the risk...
Also hauled passenger stock, assuming the 750’s will not just be on freight. IIRC there are numerous types of CD coaching stock, some UIC style...
Funnily enough was thinking about this after listening to the reveal. Absolutely has to be correct as per the Rule Book/Operation Group Standards...
South Devon as expected and will be iconic. Despite being a bit of a closet Cucumber fan, feel though it will be wasted on this route and should...
In some ways disappointed JT didn’t do this route and AA did Crewe to Preston. Would have been ideal opportunity to bring in a Class 304 and/or 310.
It will be some sort of AI generated function, I guess. With scores of compatible route and thousands of train service and stopping patterns it...
This to me is actually the second highlight of Direct (South Devon being No.1). I just hope DTG have learned from the eternal wait for Tadami and...
Very true, I remember years ago going down to Dawlish with the wife and walking on the sea wall, but going towards Teignmouth it just fizzles out...
Further to my initial comments… still mixed feelings though if the aforementioned freight flows are well represented that could sweeten the deal....
South Devon line will be good, Rivet concerns notwithstanding. However for people of my generation it would have been much nicer set in the BR...
Oh that is hellfire! However I do hope their 750 will use the older sounds prior to the exhaust being fitted with more silencing. In their...
Just enough to convince me to pre order the Deluxe pack, which I note has increased in price by £5 over last year even though one of the routes is...
