Agreed, but both Twitter and FB have far more reach than here. Notifications on apps for example. If I had to choose a means of getting a message...
It's probably related to their 13,800 followers on Twitter. They have 224,000 followers on FB for info. No idea of the number of active members...
It surprises me that you can even operate a train these days without having them enabled. Seems bizarre to have these systems bypassed so easily.
Checking is one thing but having to switch it on is not realistic.
Understand your point of view and that's a good idea to have it as an option in the settings. As it's a simulator, I think it should replicate...
Well there's no accounting for stupid, so you may have a point. Some of us may actually read it and take it into account before making a route...
So again it would be useful if DTG pin some guidance here in the forum as not everyone here watches the dev streams or has waded through all the...
Okay. That's useful. So it's a DTG preference based on cash flow I guess. Nothing wrong with that. Investing in years of development before being...
I think all safety systems should default to on in all routes and services/scenarios except ones that involve cold starts.
Agreed, but DTG are a UK based company so I'm sure they find it easier to gather research on UK routes. Not familiar with flight sims, but in my...
... aren't shiny so they shouldn't be shiny in TSW. That's all.
Think Devon and Cornwall might be too long an extension for GWE. Maybe to Oxford or Swindon or both.
That's a 47 at Norwich so you could run 37s and 47s.
They do don't they?
Too long.
Think this is beyond the realm of TSW. It's simply too long.
So is it Edinburgh to Glasgow or Newcastle to Edinburgh and Glasgow you are proposing? I think TSW is limited on route length to about 40-50 miles...
I'm not really concerned about the colour of the paint but there was plenty of livery variety in the 80s/90s. Most of these modern units are...
Removes pin from hand grenade: Let's face it there were more interesting trains in the 70s/80s/90s. More locomotives, more variety. Today it's...
What you've described is running around, which could be done at Leeds or Manchester Victoria on NTP if the service terminated there. What I'm...
I always liked watching the movements associated with turning around locomotive hauled passenger services at terminus stations. By this I mean non...
I'd like the NLL linked to GWE so you could run through with the freight. Then maybe add WLL and Goblin.
Wow. Think DTG need to sort it or tell EMD that they've also accidentally made an express passenger locomotive.
It really depends on how busy I am doing other stuff and if I fancy a change playing what I already have. I'm in no hurry basically and prefer to...
I'd prefer them to improve the visual and audio things before this gets looked at if I'm honest.
I'd say gas lamps were uncommon in 89.
Speedlink services were mixed freight in the 80s/90s. Seen plenty of variety in those consists. [img]56086 crosses the fast through lines at...
Good explanation of approach control here: https://www.davros.org/rail/signalling/articles/junctions.html
I don't think this point is made often enough. Not to mention the space and time a model railway takes to build.
I might be wrong but the TEA is air braked (the A at the end means Air) and the van is probably vacuum braked so they are not compatible unless...

Just FYI and maybe DTG know this already, but the Lackenby to Corby was called a "Tubeliner" because of how the coils were loaded. I think it was...
I note that you only get pinged for speeding if you exceed the line speed but it doesn't seem to be bothered if you exceed the locomotive or...
That's the theory. Doesn't always work that way in TSW. I always get caught heading west past Langley on GWE. All greens, then green with feather....
Class 40 is 2,000hp and made by English Electric and fitted with an EE engine. Dual braked (originally vacuum only), steam heat. Class 45 is...
Don't think I've seen any of these about. I'd certainly expect them on GWE and major stations such as Leeds/Manchester.
Nothing wrong with that.
You going to have a flail?! There's an idea. AI bashers and spotters with a flail sim add on. A "Gricer" pack.
Something we can agree on.
Agreed, but the developers are paid by DTG. It's their job. Asking users (customers) to invest time and effort for DTG to profit doesn't sit well...
You are probably right. But no more seriously that the person that started the thread.
If you are referring to my questions to DTG, I think they are reasonable and any company should be capable of answering them. Of course, they...
Do I get a free copy of the game/royalties/shares in the company etc?
That would happen anyway wouldn't it? Are you suggesting that DTG are solely reliant on customer proposals?
Did I hear on the stream that the "Tubeliner" to Corby is routed via Darlington and not Northallerton?
Appreciate the input, but how do you know how detailed the proposal is without clicking on it? And in all seriousness, what is the prize?
I'm sure it does get more notice as you've managed to get a customer to do free research for you but that's not my point. Any forum member should...
If people want to spend time researching and preparing detailed proposals for free that's fine but don't expect others to be able or willing to do...
I think DTG look at all ideas and I don't think they want anyone to be discouraged from giving them no matter how detailed. That's the point. I...
