Oh my, between the two parts of this article, there's too much information for my old brain to absorb. I'll have to eat this meal in small bites....
I'll start with a full out and back trip on AVL then I'll try out Voralberg, When I'll get to LGV (UK), I mean ECML, is anybody's guess. ;)
In the recent past, DTG have been accused of rushing products out the door unfinished or buggy, before they were ready for prime time. The new...
I have to agree. On one side are the gushing, cringeworthy accolades and in the other corner the dark, sometimes mean- spirited put-downs. Both...
As an American with an interest in the UK railway I haven't seen much of interest in the last few months. Routes like BCC and Glossop , even...
According to the FAQ, regional packs will be available at launch (Sep 26 ). You will have to wait until Oct. 26 for the Scotsman, unless you buy...
It's too bad that PTC is not enabled for this route, since Metrolink were just about the first operator to fully implement it. I don't think they...
True enough and I'll jump to TSW4 because I want a couple of the new routes. But by doing so I'm basically kissing the legacy fixes goodbye. I...
Now that I know that NYT will get its updates, I'll jump to TSW4 asap. Frankly, I'm not counting on any fixes to other legacy routes, I'll be (...
PTC ( Positive Train Control ) for sure.
I'm sure the route and train will be well modeled, but to me it just seems like the UK version of the LGV, albeit without logical termini. After...
I presume a " flat crossing " is what here we would call a diamond. Amazing that it's the only one remaining in the UK. I could show you at least...
There's something I don't quite understand. Whichever edition of TSW4 you buy, you'll be getting one or more new routes at the regular or even...
I would welcome that kind of route too, but you need to post this in the suggestions forum and read the format for writing a good one.
Deluxe. I want the US and Austrian routes, so at $52.99 it's a no brainer.
Will the promises made to : a) place Rush Hour passengers on BML and subsequent routes b) install missing banking com function on Clinchfield F7...
Well, despite all the mean and sarcastic comments, might I suggest that you do not burn your boats completely and maybe just take a break from the...
Ok, I re-read the FAQ's and NYT timetable update was specifically mentioned as coming in October. So my question is answered and moot. Thanks.
I know this has been asked already, but it bears repeating: what is the status with the NYT update. Surely this promise will be honored. ( DTG...
Yes, I agree in general and I will pre-order the deluxe edition shortly. Am I right in thinking there's no added value in the Special Edition if...
Perhaps it's best not to use any word or phrase that might be read as disparaging mental or physical capabilities. We're all unknown to each other...
Guess again. Or maybe not. Both those countries have excellent ( though restricted ) internet access.
I think children have finally taken possession of the forum ( judging by the puerile humor ). It's been coming. Where's the parental supervision?...
Class 101 ( various ) (tie) GP9RM ( Oakville Sub )
Oh, such a sad story. ;) I have found the key is to announce these things well in advance so my better half has less chance of scuttling my...
After more than 3,000 posts on the subject of August 22nd, what else is left to talk about? Is there any room for more speculation, anything new...
I don't know how old you are, but the definition of " modern " does depend on one's age. For me, anything after about 1990 is modern. To someone...
I'd like to think I'll need persuading with some core improvements in sound, lighting and graphics. And I don't mean gimmicky stuff like umbrellas...
Yes, I remember the day when we found out that MSTS2 was stillborn. A dark day indeed.
Let's hope they're not floating 10 feet above the roadway like they are in CJP
It's not a bad thing per se. It's just not very stimulating. My riding mower has more controls than a 323 and is more challenging to drive....
Ah! Cat's still in the bag eh. ;)
People should be free to voice their thoughts and opinions within the bounds of decency. If they accidentally or fortuitously say something that...
If you're talking about Cajon Pass, it really isn't " crawling at 25mph " for much of the route. I drove most of it yesterday towards San...
You're not wrong, but this one might be better, simply because they have more info to impart. Of course, they also have more time in the middle of...
Of course, whenever DTG or a partner release none branded trains like MARC and Metra in TSC, some bright spark immediately mods the logo for...
Perfect time for me here in the Midwest- 8am. I don't usually bother with live streams, I like to cherry- pick later, but I'll make an exception...
It's also to do with the loading gauge. American freight cars are bigger and longer, especially double stacks and auto racks. So a mile long...
Agreed. We already have Syd Meier's Railroad Tycoon in its several iterations covering logistics and the railroad business. There probably isn't...
Mm, yes and no, I think. If PIS is important to you, yes. Personally, I rarely glance at it. The skybox is the major improvement for me, but the...
You need a high end CPU, an RTX 30xx, at least 16GB of Ram and a fast SSD to run consistently with 60fps at 4k. I have those components and,...
Think there might be a PR strategy there?
Yes, we thought that would be the case with Yankee Stadium in Harlem, but DTG's dev teams are not big sports fans apparently.
And isn't it true that the North East and Scotland are much more interesting than the South East of England? I remember being lulled into a coma...
Curious that it's called the East Coast Mainline when only about one fourth of it comes near the water. That's a good reason to model the part...
If it turns out to be the Voralberg, it could be spectacular if done justice. Dare I say it's Austrian with a Swiss flavor which would make it an...
Positive Train Control. ( PTC )
There's something to be said for working when no-one else is around to bug you.
I haven't seen any evidence of this anywhere and I'm very patient. I sometimes wonder if you're playing the same game as the rest of us!
Does anybody still believe that the TSW2 fixes are still " waiting for a release slot" ? Or Santa Claus? Or the Tooth Fairy? ( if there are any...
Separate names with a comma.
