Shame though, in a way. There's a whole lore and an accompanying fan base built around the caboose. I'm old enough to remember when they were a...
I think I'll just riffle through the text version. Don't have 2+ hours to waste on a PR and waffle fest. And I already know that any serious...
Container train passed me this morning. Took about 20 minutes. I stopped counting after 100 cars, many of them double-stacked. Of course there...
Obviously Simrail has its enthusiastic proponents and detractors. I really hope it progresses into some real competition for TSW. But as my main...
Yes, for these two reasons I won't be switching just yet. But DTG management needs some real competition to give them some incentive to either...
Mm. Sounds like a plan. ;)
Ain't that the truth!
The truth is DTG are not risk takers. They're not going to invest in or take a chance on a new region unless they're pretty sure it will be...
Well I won't be making the same stupid mistake I made last year, buying the deluxe edition and ending up with 3 mediocre routes and no substantial...
So DTG should be able to license the new emus and simply add them to the existing SFJ infrastructure, replacing the existing Baby Bullets etc.
Yeah, great pity about the Metra license. Metra has perhaps the most colorful fleet of any of the commuter railroads and they're all diesel-...
I'm certainly not expecting any US route announcements, unless it's yet another E/W coast commuter route, and that would probably be for TSW6...
No idea where you get that notion from!
Yes I'm sure those early routes were built in Chatham because, at that time, no-one else was up to speed on UE as it applied to TSW, nor Simugraph...
If you get a response it will just be to tell you to use the ticket system which, according to what I've read, can be difficult to navigate...
As I understand it there is not just one PTC implementation but as many as 5 or 6. For instance the system used on the NEC is not the same as the...
A Sand Patch Grade remaster.
Console (and Epic ) players are entitled to an official explanation for this Steam only initial release. It leaves them in limbo, not knowing when...
It's still rather odd, though. Don't see empty TOFLs on long desert runs too often. I'd hold off on the ophthalmologist.
Understandable. Of course for me it's more interesting to drive, as it's pretty much an EMD creation. I do find that it's initial tractive effort...
This exactly. And the more short, modern routes and locos that are released, the fewer future sales will entice me to buy anything.
Yes, I really don't have any problems with the safety systems, but I do drive well below the posted speed limits and keep one foot on the brake so...
Well, I don't know the exact provenance of the F59phr, but, if it's an in- house product, there might still be a spark of life in the loco-...
Agreed, but actually I'd say these screenshots look pretty darn good. I'll likely pop for this pack, especially since it's the only American dlc...
Obviously, players' mileage varies, but it's equally obvious that a lot of people are having a lot of problems playing this game and not just on...
Right, once a dlc is released the bulk of its potential sales are realized in the very near term, whatever its condition. So there's not much...
It has its good points, I like the track work in particular, but it's missing a lot. It should have gone to Southeast at least and preferably as...
I think I read recently that the " Thanksgiving Sale " has been moved up to late September - early October. After that, we have to wait until mid...
Another case of the US$ price being inflated by using incorrect exchange rate. Price should be around $13. And we have to add sales tax....
And how many more seconds to exit that BPO service, pick one from WCMLOS and hit " get started "? Notwithstanding the fact that I wouldn't have...
Never used the " hopping " feature and don't think I ever will. Maybe it saves you a click or two when changing from one route to another, but...
Well, if finishing a service at all costs is your thing. Only you and God know that you cheated to achieve it. :D
Well the least steep grade of any of the tracks is 2.2% but it's the longest, so it comes down to time and horsepower. Trains do about 15-20 mph...
Yes, sometimes I feel like we are being technically filibustered. I don't want to be personal either, but I'd like some more substance to the...
The " poll " results are already so predictable. Why bother?
Yes, when I post about US content, I often have the feeling that I'm mumbling to myself. :D
If the forum members were objective and let their imaginations rule, they would choose a Czeh, Italian or Scandinavian route. Of course, as you...
Never paid much attention to it. Which orchestra is it? Now if they'd used a real train song.......
The UK would almost certainly be the country chosen and a bus stop route with a toy train would almost certainly be the chosen route So, for...
Well, switching to UE5 might improve the core but it probably wouldn't change the business plan and the content of the game which are my main...
Well my interest and enthusiasm, and consequently my playing time, is certainly much less than it was in the past. Part of that is just normal...
The remaster has transformed a very average route into one of the best experiences in the game. It's not perfect, New York City looks more like a...
Oh, the irony! I notice in today's patch that the flying cars around Meppel have been grounded, accompanied by some strange remark about " not...
Or Cane Creek. Actually, I've walked a significant portion of Sand Patch and even passed a couple of people along the way!
Yes, the US and Canadian freight routes have been consigned to the circular file in DTG's basement. They could all do with a revisit. Sherman is...
A chilling philosophy. If you follow that credo you end up with a catalog full of mediocre products and services.
I agree 100%. I'm in my later years now and I've done a few different things for a living. But I've learned that one of life's most important...
I was poised to buy this pack on release day, but held off because of this lack of AI traffic. That's a killer for me. Thanks for going through...
I opted to pass on the original, not because it was short or incomplete, but because of the type of route: electric toy train, bus stop gameplay,...
One thing's for sure. I won't be wasting my money on the " deluxe " version of TSW6 like I did last year with " 5 ", paying for 3 mediocre routes...
