I think you were right with the analogy to Schrodinger's cat. :D
Which leads to the conclusion that several routes which urgently need some attention, might never be updated, unless those updates are already in...
You would be well advised to stop this silliness, especially the name calling, or I'm 100% certain that the thread will be locked. Actually, I...
Time zones are rarely straightforward. The US has 4 in the lower 48 which excludes Alaska and Hawaii. These zones are often adjusted around state...
Now there's an interesting concept I hadn't thought of, but now it's got me thinking. If I measure each $1 against an hour of gameplay, there are...
To be fair, I believe he did say that the SD40 fixes would be ported to the CRR version when that route is next looked at. Of course that could be...
I might actually tune in to Tuesday's Roadmap stream. In another thread, DTG Natster mentioned that she was bringing in Matt to update us about...
I'm estimating, based on previous non route dlc, that it will be priced between $15-25. It's more than " 3 reskins ". According to the last stream...
You have to point your mousepointer at the engineer's seat until it indicates " E " and then click.
Agree 100%.
No, of course not. The Diesel Legends Pack was $23 (£17; €20 ) and I expect this Expansion Pack to be no more than that.
Yes, I agree. Why do some people feel the need to express their opinion in a useless poll instead of simply stating their point of view. Polls...
Push pull would be a lot of fun!
Speculate all you want, we all do it from time to time, but every thread doesn't have to be a poll. Why not wait for Tuesday and then you'll have...
Was that the WSR revamp? That's the most memorable PC update.
You are right on the money, solicitr! This is actually a pretty good package for SPG, and I will no doubt pop for it. But a cynic would have a...
Well, although the 8F could be used as a pilot in a pinch, I don't fancy maneuvering a full size steamer around the yards and terminus. The route...
Well, I will buy this expansion pack strictly for the improvements to SPG. I played Kohn- Achen to death when it first appeared and I have no real...
I think it's just semantics, I often use " need " when I really mean " want "( as in, I really need a cup of coffee ). But I agree with you...
I'm guessing but I think his point is that the big announcement is about painting trains rather than fixing routes and locos, a sentiment I would...
I agree that, as of this moment, DTG cannot apparently produce longer routes while maintaining quality and economic viability. If that is the...
C'mon, he was just kidding. :D
These meaningless and self-serving, self fulfilling polls are getting ridiculous. Polls should be placed in a separate sub forum and then we could...
If you use the 8 camera and race ahead of the train on SPG and wait at a crossing, you can certainly watch the gates go down ahead of the train...
The point about Sand Patch is not the speed limits, they are pretty fast on the straight sections. The grade and curvature are what slow you down,...
Canned spaghetti in a sandwich??!! I'm about to barf!!
I think that's a reasonable assessment. Since the UK route is already known, It does beg the question as to when we can expect an announcement...
Ooh, you can't be serious. Peanut butter and ( grape ) jelly sandwiches are a staple food in the US. You can actually buy them premixed in the...
Yes, but then DTG would have to build the ALC - 42 Charger, which is slated to take over that service shortly.
Shame, it's such a scenic route by all accounts, lakes, mountains, historic towns and cities.
The present HUD is not perfect, but I find it gives me the information I need while driving. Frankly, after the disastrous, unilateral changes to...
If it became another " electrostar/emu " route, I would lose all interest. As it is, I only drive the Class 101 and the 52 on the GWE.
Absolutely. There aren't many of us who have the luxury of spending several hours on a single route without life taking us away periodically, not...
I would be concerned that there might be a choice between quantity and quality. I'd much prefer a route that was 50 miles with detailed track and...
So when were Harlem and Liverpool- Crewe selected? Surely some time in late 2021. Or last Jan/Feb?
Since he lives " down under, " don't expect an immediate reply. ;)
You haven't lived in the Midwest!! :D:D
Fair enough, although I don't myself rely much any more on the streams for information about what's going on in terms of planning and production....
Agreed. And how about someone, maybe on console, who wants to try out the game, buys the " Rush Hour " or deluxe starter, finds it buggy or has...
Having to make driving adjustments on the fly because of sudden changes in the weather would be so immersive. Especially on routes where you're...
It really is very random. I recently started a service on SPG from Rockland to Cumberland with the SD70Ace and about 50 coal wagons. I got as far...
It constantly amazes me how much " insider knowledge " some people have about the inner workings of DTG, even though they don't work for the...
I guess we'll just agree to disagree. ;)
Oh no, I'm sure most companies incorporate all kinds of overhead and variable costs into their Cost of Goods Sold spreadsheets, and fix prices,...
I disagree. Dynamic weather may not be essential and its absence is certainly not game breaking, but it would unquestionably add to the immersion...
I don't know where some people get the idea that fixing bugs, making improvements to dlc and QA testing are non revenue activities. Those...
Sand Patch has always been one of my favorite routes, but I've recently started re- running some of the services after being away from it for a...
Sorry, but the major " whines" " mentioned in this thread and in my post above are stale only in the sense that they haven't been addressed in a...
Well, we have the usual doves vs hawks debate. When the dust settles I do think that the hawks have some genuine beefs. The problems with the dlc...
They did in the USA!
