Is 'SimuGraph' different/seperate to the standard Graph Editor in UE4?
Great job! That's a nice looking model, and the textures are just dirty enough to make the locomotive look like it's being used for what it was...
That's a good point. I assume DTG thought they could get more new players with a freeplay weekend for a 9 year old game than they could with the...
Rail Simulator was released with the scenario and route editor, as was MSTS and Trainz. TSW should have released with these features as well. It's...
Given how many polys there are in the scene, you'd think even if they were hard against their limit they'd find somewhere else to cull a few...
Things like this are so basic and simple to get right. It really makes you wonder if they even bothered to test the scenarios, or even look an...
I don't understand why the source code would have to be compromised for modding? There shouldn't need to be a workaround if the game was built...
Even if you depart on time it's not possible to drive the locomotive realistically and remain on time, especially when traveling from Bishops...
The honest truth is that nobody knows. After the Flight Sim World fiasco, we can't trust DTG to be straight with us regarding the state of the...
I hope you're wrong too, but unfortunately the evidence indicates the contrary. The graph below compares TSW's player numbers with ETS2's (data...
If I was DTG I probably wouldn't update it at the moment, unless there was a specific feature(s) in the newest version of UE4 that was really...
Based on the post animalkosmik quoted above, I spent about 200 hundred hours last year putting together scenic assets for use in UE4, the ultimate...
You'll realise at some point that 'having a life' doesn't constitute working as many hours as you can before you die. I also think that when...
The closest comparison I can think of would be Bethesda's Creation Club, but that's a select few user created addons which have been curated to...
Hi ProfCreeptonius, I really appreciate the response. If the hold up for the Scenario Editor is the permission to redistribute elements of the...
Here's what I feel is immediate action DTG needs to take if they're going to make TSW a success. Scenario Editor Whatever the coding and art...
I'm starting to accept that TSW has failed. I really thought the 'big reveal' was going to be the 3rd Party Tools needed to breathe life into the...
They don't need to give dates. Just a developer blog post like 'this week the Route Building Team have been recreating Henley on Thames station...
They posted in the PC forum about a 'big reveal' and encouraged everyone to speculate as to what the 'big reveal' would be. With previous DLC they...
For the first question, it's a fair point you make and I should have been clearer; I don't know it to be fact, it's only my opinion. I've updated...
Google has a HTML cached version if that's any use? Sorry I can't be of more help.
Several means more than two, but not many. The announcement was made over two days ago, but not many days ago. 'Several' is the correct determiner...
Basically DTG are running out of cash, so they take all their existing content, rehash it into a heavily discounted bundle and try to flog enough...
This is absolutely appalling. First of all DTG spends several days hyping up this 'big announcement' to come at 6pm BST. They then announce it...
If the game is well coded it should be a fairly simple thing to implement. The game knows that a given service X is starting at A, stopping at B,...
I decided I'd start a thread outlining some elements of the Class 09 that DTG have omitted from the simulation. I'll run through the procedure for...
I would regard an editor/tool kit as a 'big' addition to TSW, anything else is small in comparison. Even a simple scenario editor along with a...
It's not an easy task. Lets take the Class 47 and Class 08/09 as examples. In Railworks the Class 08 and Class 47 had simple throttles that...
There are quite a lot of difficulties in getting Raildriver to work with Train Simulators in general. With Flight Sims it's fairly simple as...
The radiator shutters on the Class 09 are permanently in the closed position. They should be open during operation and only closed when the...
Price/km is only one metric of value. You're also getting the Mk1 Coach, the Class 47 and Class 09 in addition to the route, where as the Rapid...
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comments, I really do appreciate it. :)
Why is TSW not in Early Access if fairly basic features are intended to be included but currently not? You say TSW isn't 'feature complete' but...
So if I buy the WSR I won't be able to drive the traction and rolling stock on any other route. When you decide how to implement the Class 47 into...
There's quite a lot of different ones and their meaning sometimes varies. I have no idea if DTG has them all in game or not. Southall East/West...
On release will there be a way of driving the Class 47 on the GWE route? It seems a shame to have a Type 4 just pottering up and down a preserved...
There's no turntable at Bishop's Lydeard (and I've not seen them regularly use the triangle), so the Class 09 would have to run both cab leading...
I would never suggest that every single detail needs to be bang on. Game development will always involve many carefully considered compromises. My...
Bug fixing does increase sales, but it's difficult to quantify just how much. When the Steam Store page has a "Mostly Negative" rating for the...
It's an average as you correctly ascertained. Overall sales would be well into the millions. These numbers are projections from a Train Simulator...
Here's a graph to explain why DTG make routes the length they do. [ATTACH] Maximum sales are generated by a route that is 50-60miles long,...
Exactly, they are "developing" it, but then selling it at full price as a complete and finished product. I would cut DTG a bit more slack if the...
Reusing assets is a standard thing to do. A good asset is a good asset and it doesn't matter which engine it's rendered in. Of course, the assets...
I think TSW will go the same way as FSW. We've had no content creation tools and there's no indication that they'll arrive soon, in fact there's...
We shouldn't be arguing about what traction is or isn't included in the route, there should be a game mode that permits users to use whatever...
Yes, although they are a bit clunky to use and they don't always change colour to reflect their list. If you right click items once they'll appear...
I understand Daniel's frustration. The lack of updates is poor in terms of customer service. It's important to keep customers in the loop about...
In case some people don't know, it is possible to jump through the list by pressing a letter to jump to the first asset in the list that starts...
I think DTG implemented the points, collectables etc because it's what other games have, rather than for a particular purpose. Usually these...
It's not because they are UK based. The reason is because point to point has mass appeal, and will therefor generate the most sales. I believe the...
