Already you can sub in the 204, which is beefy enough. Not a very good loco, true (Rivet as usual made it look fantastic but bollixed the...

I think it shows a bit that you don't work in the for-profit world. In real businesses, rather than comic-book caricatures, building customer...

There is a difference between substitution and layering. Substitution is simply swapping one engine for a similar one on an existing service. A...

Matt has said more than once why they don't do this. I'm not sure I'm entirely convinced, but I can't say he's wrong, either. Suppose they took...

SEHS- which was not all that old when rebuilt - did not have a collection of rolling stock which had subsequently been repeatedly upgraded. The...

Well, the 294 is not the same kind of loco as the 363. The latter is a little yard shunter, there to hump wagons around like a Gronk. But the 294...

It was the electric backbone of the Bundesbahn. The indispensable locomotive. Not just freight: it was designed for that, but it pulled a...

...well, Matt said in the stream that the 294 3D model has been around for years- it was held up because they couldn't source sounds for it - so...

IIRC, the G6 is available as a manual player substitution for the 363 on every route where the 363 appears. I imagine it will be the same with...

Part of the problem is that the DRA rolling stock layers into a LOT of other routes. Sure, DLZ could come with the "same" trains, but the layering...

Urban landscape is way more time-consuming to make

I'm not crazy about badges in Mastery challenges, since not that many people use Livery Designer, and of those who do most prefer to recreate RL...

I suppose the most glaring to me is one that's about to get a facelift anyway: GWE- stretch it at least to Didcot (so the freight runs make sense)...

Well, when it comes to creating variety, I wouldn't regard a regular stopping pattern as a plus; and while there is freight, in practice through...

Originally the whole HST was the Class 252 DMU - although the power cars had 43000-series numbers. Then BR changed their minds and it became the...

Fortunately, there is already an excellent spreadsheet tool that does all the hard work for you:...

I'm not sure why you call it a "sacrifice"

Yes, it looks potentially more interesting than WCMLOS, which, frankly, compared to Blackpool's variety is a rather dull A-B run. An occasional...

The mandatory safety systems thing is an aspect of the train, not the route. The M3 is an older DLC and so doesn't have the restriction. I'm...

^This. Metro New York means asset density that balloons the dev time per mile.

I don't knoiw about that. It seems to me that in one respect the Frankfurt routes were a triumph for DTG from a development point of view:...

That's why the game introduced Free Roam.

Has anyone else had the wipers in the 425 fail? I'm trying to run the Merry Blizzmas scenario and of course it's completely impossible without...

Yes, but to extract them and then repackage them as their own .paks requires a level of file surgery that is beyond most users who aren't...

OTOH, there are others who are routinely negative and never miss a chance to slag off DTG, no matter how unreasonable the complaint.

Yes, but that means specifically DLC rolling stock, like the Pendolino. Locos that come with a route, like the Azuma with ECML, still require...

I think it would run up against hardware limitations- that is a crapload of traffic, signals and switches for the game to keep track of. Computer...

Where it's really a killer is where you are taking over an IC which just arrives at your station, and gives you one loading cycle to do...

At a guess, DTG and Epic are engaged in negotiations, and while those are going on nobody is going to breathe a word publicly lest it screw things...

Not really: all layers of rolling stock from older routes will be missing.

Besides the fact that it's 120 miles, i.e longer than just about every full route?

There's a difference between asking Santa for a bike and asking for a pony.

The 145 itself will be a very interesting loco, because while it is not a TRAXX, it is the Mother of TRAXX; all the 146/147/185/187 group derive...

Does that mean we will get realistic setup times? On the Expert 101 it's a mad dash to get everything done without departing late (and I usually...

So, if I order a Sony TV from Amazon, and it is dropped in transit and broken, then Sony is responsible because they received money from Amazon?

BR 140- AT LAST! :love::love::love: The absolutely essential loco for the Bundesbahn era; the go everywhere, do everything traction that filled...

During the stream it was stated, more than once, that Nahverkehr Dresden is the most popular of all German routes. I think that that is the key...

Texture blurring happens when VRAM gets overloaded: Unreal Engine "defends itself" by reverting textures to lower LOD. Mildmay seems to be very...

The random events hint at something very big: an AI dispatcher robust enough and intelligent enough to reroute on the fly. That really is a step...

Because the 700 like the 360 has a big wide windscreen across the front, whereas the 350 has a connecting door snout and a phone booth cab. Looks...

Ah, right. Sorry. Problem with using the 350 is that although it's mechanically closer to the 360, with its connector nose it looks all wrong....

Unbranded purple 387s reskinned from Brighton Mainline. Not exactly correct, but the closest we have.

I use a series of speed-distance checks. The actual numbers reflect my preference, but when I use them I never have to brake above Step 1 (except...

Except the Special Edition really is just that

The signaling on NYT is borked. I don't drive it any more; I would have deleted it except it provides some AI scenery stock for other routes.

I think I'm going to go Special. I already wanted the route bundle and deluxe locos, i.e. Deluxe, and the upcharge for the SE is 30 USD: although...

Not even as a substitution?

Does this mean we can start referring to the JT "Preston Trilogy"?

Ich hatte gedacht, dass die 420 in München nicht möglich ist, da die TSW-Linie nicht mehr Züge aufnehmen kann.
