The revised timetable was a big improvement but there are still some deficits including the inability to integrate freight services, platform...

Actually they are. The Class 1 railroads do have freight train schedules. They may not be as rigid as passenger trains but their major customers...

That's pretty much what I've done in the past, but, given the disappointments with TSW4, I'm going to look carefully at the contents of TSW5 (...

OK, but what loco(s), stock and route references do HIS intend to use that are apparently unavailable to DTG?

Appreciate your thoughtful response. The problem is we US players are completely in the dark. Maybe a little bit of information about this "...

The US has definitely slipped down the pecking order with DTG. There's really very little to look forward to. And I'll believe in those patches...

Scenarios then timetable. Raildriver, mouse and keyboard. About an hour every couple of days. That's it folks. Sorry to bring this up, but am I...

It would be good to know if they are actually still working on the save game feature. We've not heard anything since the basic utility was...

Unfortunately, it would appear from DTG's current business plan that they see the majority of players as demanding only joystick driven electric...

Yes, just ran from Penn to Atlantic via Jamaica in the M9. Really shows the non-linear nature of LIRR which really enhances gameplay.

I'm pretty much convinced that San Bernardino will be the US offering in a 3 route Summer bundle. My understanding is that it's already in the can.

So we should tamp down our expectations of those Roadmap entries labeled " Release Date To Be Announced ", which are pretty much all 3rd party...

That's a rather flattering view of the state of TSW. As recently as Rush Hour, routes came with multiple trains. That was perhaps the turning...

I'm not really a fan of single track routes which have only one train and virtually no AI traffic. As well as Niddertalbahn was crafted, I soon...

Not a " demand " if you say " please ".

Bakerloo was something of a novelty and part of a bundle. It's OK to drive once in a while but the repetitive nature of the route gets to me even...

Hey my friend, don't take things so seriously. Between MSTS, TSC and TSW, I've spent thousands of dollars playing with trains so I definitely have...

If San Bernardino is the US segment of the Summer Bundle, it's a bit miserly on DTG's part because they developed this route along with AVL last...

I can't believe they would do that. I mean in a real sense haven't we already paid for some features like improved suspension by buying TSW4. If...

No, the poll is there so that you can seek support for your personal opinion, an opinion I might add that is wholly untenable, expecting a...

In fact the evidence, dropping of steam, diesel traction and freight routes and trains plus the lack of or failure to implement innovative...

Yes please. When polls were suspended last year, the forum was much better for their absence. Most polls are pointless, poorly worded, self...

Yes, must admit I was kinda suckered in by TSW4. The PR was very slick, lots of "new features ", most of which still haven't arrived. I ended up...

The poll plague is back. Time for some moderation? Oh dear, I forgot it's Sunday and a holiday tomorrow.

Though I said earlier in the thread that I would welcome a well built fictional route, I draw the line at children's cartoon trains. A flat no to...

Fictional routes and semi fictional routes have a long tradition in TSC. I would not be averse to something along the lines of Ohio Steel in TSW....

Do you own either Cane Creek, Horseshoe Curve or the 187?

Well, as a PR exercise it works for SHG, I guess. Unfortunately, there are lots of caveats. I'll focus on Cane Creek right now, a piece of...

Wherever you care to post it, it's a great suggestion!! Bring it on!!

Very silly poll. Not worth the bandwidth. Polls were banned by the Moderators last year precisely because of pointless polls like this one. If...

One of the things that always makes me chuckle is the summer clothing you see on Boston platforms when there's snow on the ground. Another...

Seconded!

I think I read somewhere ( it may have been Matt ) that the Class 104 was the only thing that is coming. No changes or improvements to the route...

I have gotten used to the safety systems and find the route quite enjoyable, despite it being a one handled emu experience. It's a " mini network...

Yes, I think we're all well aware that " banking com " is just a fictional feature to get around the absence of communication between personnel in...

Some people seem to have a lot of time on their hands. I wish I had more.

Well, the route from Asheville, NC to Spartanburg, SC is about 60 miles, so it's within TSW range. Of course, the tracks are largely gone now,...

Maybe. We'll see. It will be at least 3 years late if it ever comes. I don't doubt Matt's intentions but I'm not holding my breath. DTG does not...

Yes, DTG promised that the banking com omission would be fixed when its accidental absence was discovered after launch. That promise was broken...

So it's " harder " Lots of things in business, as in life, are hard to do. As JFK once said: " We choose to.......do the other things, not...

Notice that I said a " plurality " of the player base. If you find that description overly disparaging I'm sorry but that's the way it appears to me.

Then explain why they are building joystick electrics almost exclusively these days.

I haven't found the Roadmaps to be very useful for some time now. They are usually exercises in PR and ignore any difficult questions from the QA...

Anyway, getting back to the " steam " question, I think DTG's dilemma is two fold. One problem is they don't currently seem to have either the...

I'm in the fortunate position of never having had any social media accounts nor have I ever posted on one ( unless you count this forum as social...

That's a little too jingoistic for my taste. Remember that TSW was launched with an American freight route and for most of the past 6 or 7 years...

I think I'll stop reading this thread in case I fall into a deep depression. If steam and diesel are dead we all know what's coming. It looks...

Interesting. Credit to HIS for grabbing the loose ball that DTG couldn't be bothered to pick up. Only question is whether this gameplay pack will...

I've heard people say that the RD is flimsy, jittery, twitchy etc. Well, I've had mine for I don't know how many years and it's never given me a...

Sorry to hear that, Vern. I have to say I'm enjoying the route. For some reason the various alerters don't bother me although once or twice...
