I'm also a big fan of switching, but with a twist. I most enjoy switching operations that begin with or end with a shortish road- freight...
Some kind of shake-up at DTG is needed. Unless someone with imagination and outside the box thinking seizes the reins, I think we're destined to...
This a well-known bug and no fix is promised at this point. It's not the only scenery issue in CJP.
There are maybe 3 or 4 people who seem to choose any occasion to engage in cat- fighting for no good reason and spoil the forum discussion for the...
Well, each to his zone, I guess, but the original TSC version is a bit coma- inducing in my opinion, relieved only by the presence of the Class 55...
It's a fine route, for me mostly because of the varied and thankfully non- electric rolling stock. I mean it could have been set in Outer Mongolia...
Surely Focus would have anticipated English language speakers poking fun at the new name. At least someone from DTG would have had a quiet word?...
Well I don't yet have the Scot Rail Express so I'll not be buying this pack, but for what it adds to the route, it does seem a wee bit dear at $15.
The big advantage of not giving a hoot about scoring, medals, achievements and mastery ( still don't know what that is ) is not having to give a...
My answer is that I was always interested in railways in all countries. When I was about 6 years old I discovered some railway history books and...
It seems, maybe at Mr. Jackson's urging, they developed the technical skill to build SOS, PFR and FS ( however imperfectly ) but then were unable...
What authenticity attaches to a train simulator without a steam segment, a form of traction that started and powered the railway for 70% of its...
Interesting that no specific reasons are given for what is, let's face it, a complete abandonment of steam traction. Is it just lack of interest,...
Oh dear! No soothing talk from the moderators, eh? I'm thinking of starting a fundraising site so that we can hire a nanny for those players who...
What's with the absence of road traffic? Was this addressed in any of the preview streams?
Where I live there are some very long suburban and rural bus routes and, although toilets are provided at the turn- arounds, it might be a...
Every time I find my finger on the buy button for this route, something holds me back. Earlier in this thread, back in August, Rivet gave a very...
Yes, sounds like it's not for me at this point. I can't wrap my head around multiplayer. For one thing I can't devote enough time in a game to...
Other than that, the next major Steam sale is March 14 - 21.
Surely the whole point of the free enterprise system we live by is that the consumer determines what will be produced and at what price it will be...
Unlike in the UK, sales tax is added to the retail price rather than being part of it. So if a route costs $39.99, the total price can be anywhere...
Absolutely. Are we destined to be confined to the current limited range of countries forever? DTG should put some money and effort into acquiring...
No, not quite. Each state has Its own sales tax system and rates so the overall price for a dlc will vary somewhat, depending on where you live.
There are many US kettles licensed for TSC and I simply don't believe DTG cannot get licenses for TSW. However, judging by the UK steam locos, I...
No, no release date is ever " set in stone ". Parts of Rush Hour, West Cornwall, even TSW itself have been postponed close to the original...
A couple of years ago DTG supposedly hired a " QA Czar " to oversee and improve the testing process. Wonder what happened to that idea? Or doesn't...
You're all feeding an obvious troll. Will y'all never learn?
Also, wasn't the route and loco given away for free at some point to celebrate Focus' acquisition of DTG? That would certainly increase its...
" Nickel and Diming" is a very common business practice these days. Airline seating is perhaps the most visible example. Some carriers want to...
I took a walk this morning too. It was gray and overcast, tomorrow there will be snow and ice storms and I haven't seen or heard a bird in weeks....
Careful guys. You know what happens when you start personal mudslinging.
DTG is oblivious to spelling errors on this website. For instance, I pointed out that " helpful recourses " mistake a couple of years ago, but...
Can't be beat for reheating coffee or tea, reheating leftovers or making oatmeal. Plus, if you treat them right, microwaves last forever. Mine is...
Let's have some Mid West railroading, for heaven's sake. The prospect of yet another New York or California based route fills me with despair.
Yes, I'll go along with that. To some extent, because of its rolling stock and era, BPO is a throwback to the early TSW routes and belongs in the...
I would equate " charm " with an immersive feeling of " being there " and NTP is certainly up there, along with TVL and Sand Patch. There may be...
The " Racetrack " was 3rd party and released without the Metra logo for licensing reasons. The logo was almost immediately added unofficially by a...
I think people should stop worrying about Focus' and DTG's financial situation. DTG have clearly found a business plan that works well for them,...
I can guarantee those individuals who are bickering like schoolkids ( maybe they are schoolkids ) that if they continue in this vein the thread...
Gag me with a spoon! ;)
The whole of TSW is lifeless. There are pretty much zero people walking around, very few track workers or hostlers in train yards or trackside....
My take?? Neither of you guys have a scooby as to what DTG is really up to.
My car does that. It's called cruise control. ;)
I would say that BPO is a very good route on its own merit, but I personally would not be playing it so much without the layers that NTP and TVL...
I agree with all that with one caveat. I do prefer routes with scenarios and services that can be completed in one session which, for me, is...
No, no, no! Au contraire! We still have 6 and a half hours of 2023 left where I'm sitting.
For the UK, the Class101, closely followed by the Class 31. For NA, the GP9rm, followed by the Acela.
Well, I just ran a service with the Class 47 and, with both windows open, I thought the sound was just fine. Maybe a change was made, but the...
I can see the future as a tug-of-war between those players who enjoy the " electrostar " train model, as exemplified in routes like BML, BCC and...
I'm in that group. I'm very interested in UK railways. But that's not enough to counteract my passion for North American content. Neither sector...
