This route is also one of those examples of having it better than TSC too, that version only ran from Exeter StD to Paignton. In any case...
People are reading too much into it. Beta testers often get many of the screenshots we see for new content, this is just one of them who put the...
I mean, it does IMO. Germany has had various shunters, freight loco packs & wagons included within even routes.
At least the liveries aren’t fictional. No branding is what it is, but the liveries we’ve seen where there hasn’t been a license have been pretty...
Personally I’m hoping the 222 will be a core release bundle on the MML out of St Pancras anyway, we don’t really have a route that would do it...
You say for a lot of people, but are a lot of people buying DLC just for trophies? Is it even a factor for the majority? I can’t see a single DLC...
UE5 would be a death knell for TSW. It really requires solid optimisation, but DTG don’t allow anywhere near enough dev time for that, even with UE4.
I agree, the fatigue is in full swing for me on German stuff. Something fresh such as the 140 is great, but it’s just more trackage that mushes...
The core TSW 2018/19 trophies were the best IMO. They were much longer to achieve but had some actual sense of achievement to them. These days...
There are what, 10 dev teams now & it’s only Skyhook that make cargo packs. That’s to say, you get plenty in the way of focus on routes & trains....
I agree, but I just mean there’s nothing in the way of Dawlish seafront or Exeter City to distract from the foliage. You’re going to be going...
I can definitely see it struggling here, since it’ll be running over the fastest part of the route (75-100mph). Personally I’m not entirely sure...
The ballast definitely needs sorting, the ugly grey stuff they use that has the horrid darker grey splotching is bad enough on its own, but when...
At this point DTG should be putting older & essentially mandatory locos into the core of the game. Especially if it gets to the point where...
The features do go forwards, they just don’t go backwards (outside of rare circumstances). Anything new that releases gets the latest features.
Other than it being 3 trains, there’s not anything infringing on TSW. DTG don’t have a copyright on IET’s or train simulators. That being said,...
Who said they’d be abandoned? Most if not all features have persisted throughout the various titles. ToD4, new scoring, track monitor,...
Personally I think a route turning to 480p mush makes it unplayable. That fact that it happens on a few doesn’t make it any better. 2 of the core...
That would be the Heathrow Express.
350 is the most likely candidate & you can make one out in one of HST pack screenshots, in HC colours.
Don’t get me wrong, there is (ish - 1-2TPH from Plymouth & 1 train every 2/3 hours out of Paignton) But it’s not like WCMLS where the headliner...
Discord is fine for small group conversations & the other odd community event such as announcements etc - however it’s absolute garbage as a forum...
Pretty much this, to be honest the yearly release basically has a discount mixed into it. 3 routes that usually cost £30 each for the price of...
Hopefully they’ll just implement a way for those who own their route to see the 350’s on the new 805 TT, rather than WCMLS. If nothing else the...
I’m not sure regarding Morristown as I don’t know much about it, but at least for the Riviera I wouldn’t say you need the deluxe. The layers from...
I do find myself looking for the functionality that TSW has often in TSC, but then TSW still lacks far too much in the actual route milage & often...
They probably just see the success in the TSC server & want their own piece of it. Though I think they’ve missed the point on why people go to...
Honestly it sounds to me like you’re in, there’s nothing more to be invited into. If you’re in the server & seeing the content, that’s it.
The one thing I’ve noticed to be fair is we’re seeing more well known & widely used trains & ToCs as headliner routes. Go back to TSW2020 for...
Will certainly be interesting to see how they work the timetable, the 150 is abit odd to throw in over a 166 or even 158. Given how substitution...
Yeah it won’t be DTG who decide to stop the TSW 7,8,9 etc. At some point the store fronts are going to turn around & say “no you can’t re-release...
Yeah this is a huge concern of mine. Leipzig & Dresden are a couple of the few places I’ve visited in Germany IRL, so DRA has always been a...
They’re not bad, just not stand out routes & while I wouldn’t personally be overly critical of them, I couldn’t really come up with must have...
The 166 will be a playable layer from GWE.
Well, you don’t know why those people were viewing. Personally I was one of them & I wasn’t there for new stuff as much as what’s going on with...
Whoops, yes, just realised.
The 221’s are predominantly used out of the West Country with 220’s coming from the South. Not sure if it’s a capacity thing or if it’s just where...
XC only serve Crewe on limited runs to retain knowledge, hopefully those are there & as we saw with the 170 pack (and many other add ons), devs...
Don’t dispute that, but still if you wanted to be a little more community & communication oriented, would be a good idea to make it clear what’s...
This seems like something you should probably make much clearer in more places, many people opt to buy older versions as they’re often on better...
No, entirely diesel.
Personally I’m a little mixed on this. On one hand the US lineup is looking stronger overall this year compared to last - bulking out NY’s network...
In the FAQ it only mentions Amtrak layers as being AI, so they’ll be there but not playable from the looks of it.
Between NY Penn & Secaucus they do, but that’s only a few minutes running, mostly through a tunnel. Across the rest of the route it’s all NJT.
It’s always the same, US first & UK last, pretty sure they know the ones people want to see most & least. Show off the UK first & I bet the viewer...
You’ve hit the nail on the head there. Still, why on earth are you paying for things without reading what you are (or aren’t in this case) getting?
As above, seems a missed opportunity to put in the branches which were originally planned out & for the Dresden end, would have been great to go...
220’s are 4 car sets & have no tilt system. 221’s are 5 car & can tilt. The latter is irrelevant since XC has disabled the tilt on the 221’s...
What is the reason it’s not a 221? Given that Riviera will be its ‘home’ route, the 220 is the wrong train for XC operations there anyway.
Agreed & id certainly love to see that too, but then the thing I’d be worried about is if JT then take up another region they’d try & tackle both...
