Sometimes you don't have to wait long for a decent sale. For example, BCC was released on 11/17 and was 25% discounted when I bought it on 12/22.
I don't have an opinion on the quality of this upcoming dlc. Nobody really knows how it will turn out, at least until we see a stream ( which I...
I never touch journey mode, too programmed for my taste. I start by doing all the scenarios, then I go through the services randomly, choosing...
The 3090ti is the real power hog. It's using about 450 of those 750 watts, which doesn't leave much for the rest of your hardware. As you've...
Yes, the route should have been set back in the period when the Class170 was ruling the roost. That would have opened up the possibility of more...
Yes, I'm not having any game play issues with TSW, just a bunch of minor annoyances. However, I appreciate that others have real problems,...
One of the main reasons I love driving the 101 is that it works so well with the Raildriver.
My goodness, that is the narrowest, smallest aperture I've ever seen in a cab.
I have an R12, so I know how tight the case is for these machines. I opted for liquid cooling, but even then I can hear the fan(s) when playing...
On reflection ( pun intended ), I don't think that the couple of minutes of night lighting discussion on the stream last week offer much hope for...
Well then, maybe if Rivet had made Harlem we would have gotten Yankee Stadium! :D
" Most people " ? Have you polled the membership? You're entitled to your own opinion, but that's all it is unless you have facts to prove...
Yes, I've found that on some routes you can be in a literally blinding snow storm, but switch to an external camera and it's hardly snowing at...
Well, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. However, from reading the forums for a while I think many players feel short- changed by...
Chalk me up in favor of the new format. I never cared much what platform someone is posting from. It's all interesting.
A lot of people are getting very excited about the Scottish route, but there's a lot we don't know yet: How the train drives? Sounds? Any other...
Now that's one collectable even I could go for! Throw in some roast beef and it's a day one purchase.
JD mentioned the " power cut " thread as they were discussing night lighting in general. It's in the last 5-10 minutes of the Jan 12th Roadmap...
I had a bit of a chuckle towards the end of the last stream, when both hosts had to walk back the notion that " recent routes had pretty decent...
Horses for courses. There are quite a few players, including yours truly, who think that the Class 101 is fun to drive and would like more 1st and...
Oh, really, no kidding! Well thanks for that. ;) By the way, you completely missed my point.
I believe LIRR is currently remaindered at $8.99 on Steam. That should tell you something about its future.
My goodness it's January 13th!! A few more weeks!! How long does Christmas last in the UK?? :D
Will the elephant in the room once again be the night lighting ( or lack of it ). Perhaps Rivet could address that question with some screenshots...
If posters would simply proof read their posts before hitting the upload button......
Well, you have a point. But, apart from being made to a pretty high standard, GWE has a plethora of drivable trains and some involving game-...
Let's hope Waverley and Queen Street don't copy the emptiness of other major hubs and termini in the game, such as Glasgow Central and Birmingham...
If you're getting anywhere close to 30mph on those uphill grades, you're doing very well indeed. In real life, the average is around 15-18 mph.
Not from Scotland or the UK ( ooh, reminds me of a Lyle Lovett song). Anyway, I'm not sure why everyone is so excited for Edinburgh to Glasgow. I...
I agree. I did spend megabucks on a new PC a year ago because I was no longer enjoying TSW on my 7 year old machine. I looked enviously at the two...
Thanks, corrected.
The stretch from Baltimore to DC is just about the dullest part of the NEC, 35 miles, 40 minutes, straight as an arrow and sometimes one...
That " Bus" video looks very much like the night lighting we should be getting in TSW. Even the headlights have me drooling with envy. Anyone...
Well, I looked at some gaming laptops before I finally settled on a desktop last year and some of them had impressive components, like an I9 12900...
I would caution people not to let their expectations run too high. Remember that the standard these days is one new loco ( likely the Acela ) and...
Oh yes, I agree. I could have used it on numerous occasions. There is one, of course, but the emoji choices in the forum are severely limited.
Ah, let it go. No harm done and we don't need to police the forums, there are moderators who are paid to do that.;)
That's too simplistic and inaccurate. Out of Chicago, for instance, there are Amtrak routes used for business and by politicians ( to Milwaukee,...
There are a few things wrong with Cajon Pass. There are some scenery/ vegetation gaffs; the ballast/ track is amateurish in some stretches; the...
I think that's too hard and unfair to Amtrak. Apart from the NEC which competes well with air travel, Amtrak has a very different remit to the...
I agree. I and others pointed out this " model railway " look on sections of Cajon Pass when it was first released. And you are right that it...
What's so annoying and frustrating is that DTG know how to do night lighting. They proved that from the very beginning with SPG. And some routes...
The state of Missouri alone is about 125% the size of England and not much smaller than the UK as a whole and has probably many thousands of grade...
Well, let's skate over the " cherry picking " approach to thread responses for now. Of course we all "love " TSW. Otherwise why would we play it...
That's pretty much identical to my own rig, with the exception of the GPU ( RTX 3080 10 or 12 GB ). I get a consistent 60 fps (capped ) at 4k. You...
It may not be new but it isn't what most of us expected back when TSW launched. It didn't stop people complaining about the paucity of drivable...
Funny how we've all been " persuaded " that one new locomotive per route is now acceptable. For $40 a pop, each route should come with at least two.
My feeling is that DTG probably believe it's just a small minority of players who really care about seeing anything at night or want a realistic...
Well, I drove the service from New Street to Lichfield and back. Even though I was driving in pitch darkness, I was determined to finish the...
The countdown changes to yards shortly after it reaches 0.6 miles, which equals about 1000 yards. This is accurate. No need to be pedantic....
Separate names with a comma.
