May we better understand why the starter pack will only be available for 30 days? I say this because I believe there are a significant number of...
I did smile to myself when they announced the 390 would be part of the deluxe pack, however it’s a smart business move by DTG, and it only...
Ah okay, understood. Not sure guard mode will be suited to express services but some of the “bus service” routes would greatly benefit.
To avoid confusion perhaps the Starter Pack might better be named the Core Update Pack? People may incorrectly assume there’ll be free content...
Beware false assumptions, I don’t believe they said it would be backdated to older routes. I would assume it’s TSW5 native routes only unless you...
Very glad to see the starter pack, but I would like it extended to the life of TSW5 not just 30 days. Personally I'll be going for the deluxe to...
TSW5 could be a case of extreme shrinkflation tomorrow when DTG announce… WCML: Euston to Willesden. Experience the thrill of driving the sleek...
Good to know, thanks. A shame there’s no “box art”. ;)
DTG Matt - Presumably TSW: The Next Generation will come along at some point and be developed alongside the existing UE4 version. How far away are...
Dovetail may yet opt for a different architecture when it eventually starts afresh with a new TSW, such as Unity. Simrail, which uses the latter,...
I never realised how ripped off house buyers are in the UK until I moved to France; a variable interest rate can literally ruin people...
The 142 (and to some degree the class 47) would require major rework of the underframe/bogies to correctly animate the springs and axle boxes. I...
Not that long before actually; TSW appeared in early access as CSX Heavy Haul at the end of ‘16, so they jumped on UE4 pretty early on really.
TSW has a long history of leaving people feeling short changed with regard to routes, with the notable exceptions of Bakerloo and London to...
Started with a Sinclair ZX Spectrum in ‘82, played most of the games available then, notably JetPac which had me utterly hooked. After a period of...
Intrigued to know what exciting new features will be, but… I will be happy if passengers and weather get an overhaul. A renewed commitment to the...
Don't know if this is related to the latest update, but I just ran the Royal Appointment scenario on Peak Forest and the double-headed Jubilees...
Hah, I’d wager a lot of us “old people” were playing video games well before you were born lol. ;)
Cross City will likely get an update for suspension and AI pendolinos.
Nice to hear that art changes are also being made, I presume this means the appropriate animations are being applied to the bogies/springs as well...
What new devilry is this? Is that “Mixed” reviews I see? Why ever for? I had understood the expert 101 was the dog’s danglies according to the...
My own opinion is unimportant in the grand scheme of things as I am admittedly getting on and do not represent the younger demographic of...
Nothing against streamers per se, but for an ambassador stream I expect full focus on showcasing the content with knowledgeable and independent...
The only UK ambassador I believe that is an actual subject matter expert is Dadrail, being a real life driver. He is usually worth watching for...
Yeah but the Pacer is JustTrains’ baby, but hopefully they will update it with the proper suspension and animation when the time comes. Watching...
I would lay good money on DTG introducing suspension without any realistic animation, despite taking over a year to get it out the door. The usual...
Trainz was a fun and diverting alternative to MSTS in the 2000s, but has ever since been hampered by the insistence of being forever backwards...
Everyone wants to drop gen 8 but it’s not going to happen anytime soon due to a large amount of players still using those consoles, obsolete or...
Honesty and transparency seem to have disappeared about the same time as DTG being bought out.
It is indeed puzzling why the graphical aspect of the TSW core has not been much improved over the years. We know that UE5 is not on the table...
Yep, the dreaded shader compilation! ;) https://gameworldobserver.com/2023/04/07/shader-compilation-stuttering-pc-games-explained
In TSW, I have a feeling AI trains are different in the way they use sounds to the player-controlled trains. AI trains use a much simplified...
Going back even further to the post-Roman - pre-Norman period, the original “Britons” (Celts) are today’s Welsh and Cornish (and Les Bretons -...
If Microsoft can allow 3rd party MSFS content to be sold outside the game’s marketplace, then so can DTG. They choose to force 3rd parties to...
Is it? Not sure everyone would agree. I watched the first 20 minutes of the stream before I realised it was not the product for me. Although the...
I would have liked to have seen an “expert” steam loco, if only to have one in the game that works with a semblance of realism. I guess that’s off...
Would honestly love a better 101 and cab car, however my personal wishes as a long-time TSW customer are: that it should seamlessly replace the...
Then surely that is what DTG need to be focusing on before this release; to allow the substitution system more flexibility with formations, after...
If they want to prove its robustness during the scripted sales pitch stream, they should save game halfway through a run and reload it. Regarding...
There are at least two threads full of ire about the 101 pricing, the consequence of which will probably mean TSG will have no desire to do any...
Just seen the €36 price and nearly fainted. Are DTG setting this up to fail? Put it up at €20 and you will sell twice as many, who the heck set...
It would probably help if you mentioned the name of the scenario. :)
Matt is personally giving Clinchfield a bit of spit and polish but no timescale though (if it ain’t on the roadmap it never happened etc).
It’s like shooting fish in a barrel, Vern. How about the way the Xbox division is being run down into the ground by successive waves of...
The oft-used expression "fire and forget" once again springs to mind. Although I often admire the work done by the devs and much enjoy TSW, there...
At times DTG has an almost Microsoft-esque level of misreading the temperature of its customer base. Indeed folks absolutely love BR, and the...
Still a great route, the enhancement mod has sincerely given it a second wind, my thanks to the modder(s). It really could do with ToD4 plus a...
Many PC players also have a console. I sometimes boot up my PS5 then am reminded of the dreadful TSW optimisation. Try LIRR Jamaica station at...
