I do think frankly that going into at least some greater depth on the technical side of things would smooth a lot of ruffled feathers with regard...

Yes, however cost-benefit analysis rules. For example, one of my favorite routes is Clinchfield. And, yes, CRR has many flaws (I did a series of...

Fair point. It just happens to be that case that Brandon and Joe have said that they allotted Acela and 700 layers to Boston's and SEHX's original...

Actually I agree with you. I think DTG is using a flawed strategy, and it could come back to bite them if a direct competitor turns up (Derail...

Of course. That doesn't alter the fact that a DLC's peak profitability is in the first months after release, after which it drops off.

You said it- to drum up business. (Note however that sale discounts, while also affecting the P/L balance, come at it from the other side from...

The only la-la land is the one where your made-up "facts" appear real. TSW3, on PC/Steam, runs exactly the same as 2 did. Better, in the case of...

Or the one who makes a game for the space exploration market as opposed to the train-driving market.......

Yeah, take that to court. Good luck.

That is simply nonsensical. Hello Games have the right to use whatever marketing strategy they please- as do DTG. There is no question of "rights"...

Your failures of comprehension are not due to any failure of logic on my part. And if you were to go back over my ten thousand-odd posts in here,...

Debugging software is hard. Sometimes impossibly hard; for every line of code you fix, five others break. It can feel like the deceleration death...

It is a SALES TACTIC. Got it? Those software studios that do it do so in order to make money. The "free" upgrade is designed to increase sales...

Um, anyone else seeing the logical disjunct?

A point you continue to assert after a year and it's no less bullshit today than it was a year ago.

As evidenced by the fact that all old TSC content will still run without re-downloading (well, except for AP stuff, but that's intentional)

You have exactly the same Peak Forest which you received on the day you paid for it. (Over-exposure is in the eye of the beholder and certainly...

Because it costs DTG money to do those things. You apparently expect them to pay devs to do work and then hand you the product of that work for...

What exactly did you pay for?

They did so in the case of the Acela on Boston, and the 700 on SEHS extended- but of course those were near-future DLC releases when the...

That has ALWAYS been the case; why on earth would you expect it to change? Layers have to be designed into a route when it is made. Sometimes an...

You can whine and call it "horrible" and "anti-consumer" all you like, but at the end of the day you aren't owed free anything.

I say "I'll be there in half an hour." However, en route I get T-boned at an intersection and wind up in hospital. Did I lie?

Business 101: Businesses exist to make money: Business 102: Businesses do not exist to give products away Business 103: When businesses do give...

No it isn't; not at all. That would be comparable to the change from the C07 to C08 Corvette: completely new design from the wheels up, with a...

Actually it can be pretty damn close.

My issue with Schnauzapowah's videos is that he spends a great deal of time complaining about what the route is not, compared to what he wanted it...

4 will run on the same engine as 3, and I see no reason to expect that LOD or stuttering will change. But that's not a question of "quality...

On Steam at least it's also a 25% discount, which isn't chicken feed.

Not even for Preston-Blackpool 1986?

Actually, no, there will be single-route "national" bundles

There is no suggestion that an F59PH is even being considered. It has not been mentioned but at least remains more plausible that a reskinned...

Hmmm. In a group of threads where many are bashing DTG for its business practices, we get unalloyed praise for AP whose business practices make...

StrikeEagle78 , you should probably consult a doctor, because that hate-boner has lasted well over four hours.

Well, the legacy routes in that bundle. The new routes (Antelope, Vorarlberg, ECML) will be TS4-only.

True, but it wasn't in revenue service.

PTC (and full ETCS) are vastly more complex systems than Indusi/PZB (which dates from the 1930s) and LZB (1960s).

Are rolling stock skins also cooked? Or can they be edited/plundered for design assets?

IKB can't stand anything standard-gauge.;)

There is a difference between "bug" and "route that isn't very good." LIRR's lame timetable is what it is: a design flaw, not a bug. Poor scenery...

When was the last time you played BML? I haven't had a red-light issuer in months.

While console owners can't use the editor- which is not up to DTG - they will be able to use content made by PC owners.

So, does Rockstar owe all owners of Red Dead Redemption a free upgrade to RDR2 standard?

Given the nonexistent setup time on many services, the best of both worlds would be automatic with a manual override.

Announcements would have to be recorded from scratch, because the RL recordings are copyrighted by the TOCs as well as the actors themselves.

The Class 40s were all withdrawn as of January 1985.

München-Mittenwald doesn't make a lot of sense. The main line terminates at Garmisch-Partenkirchen; from there the local Mittenwaldbahn makes its...

There is a scenario in SPG set up exactly that way: two lead, one at the back.

I'm just afraid those cellphone users will pop up on Peak Forest and Preston......
