Yet the use of loco hauled commuter trains ( especially the F40PH ) is widespread in the US. MBTA, Caltrain, GO and METRA are prominent examples....

I really don't understand the point of this thread, even less the usefulness of such a poll which, like many polls in the forums, is obviously...

OK, a useful list but I'm a little confused about what the list of locomotives is supposed to represent.

I've found that I have to adjust my driving style as Paul suggested. The emus on the BML, for instance, are overpowered in my opinion, so I move...

Absolutely the driver has to manage those levels. I ran out of steam more than once on both US and UK routes. Some routes have water troughs which...

I think there's a lot more to driving an FEF-3 than that. Just managing coal and water levels is a challenge, not to mention learning how to run...

I hate to play Cassandra but I think this is probably the prevailing attitude among players. It's going to take some creative, if not inspired...

Perhaps liveries are an important element of trains for you, but for many of us, the differences between the various EMU's are merely cosmetic. Of...

Back in its first iteration ( TSW 2020 ) I played it quite a lot, but it was always lacking the important elements, AI traffic, a believable view...

Could be something to do with the nuclear waste that's being transported. If you see any neon green people, that would confirm it. :D

What's frustrating is that lighting is such a fundamental element of video gaming, especially simulation, that it ought to be triaged to the very...

I got caught out on a depot run with the 377/4 on BML a while ago. I was pleasantly surprised since, for the most part, those switches are thrown...

I have no problem with narrow gauge, but 15"? Not for me.

This inconsistency with the night lighting from route to route drives me nuts or to drink, whatever's nearby. If DTG ever do come up with a...

I don't recall the exact times, but I'm pretty sure I made at least a couple of saves during the scenario, one I know was just after the loading...

Completely agree, especially about the abysmal headlights. A very good route spoiled by the inability to drive after dark.

I took a different view. Yes, it was a real challenge and took me several attempts. But it wasn't ( isn't ) bugged. It's just really difficult to...

Just to add, and repeat something I said a few days ago, I look forward to steam, partly for the reasons stated above. But will there be a healthy...

Couldn't agree more. Perhaps that's what it's really about, recreating an era when loco hauled trains were common and locos had real personality...

Which begs the question: what can we expect with future commuter routes such as the Harlem Line? I guess Boston was a " teaser " which we may...

It has occurred to me, but I keep expecting the update which would add the passengers. It was promised within " weeks not months " if I recall...

I'm not having any problems with the route itself, gameplay is fine. What's missing are the " rush hour passengers " which makes it feel very...

Thank Goodness. I was beginning to worry a little there. So rest easy, folks, TSW2 really is for grown- ups after all. ;)

If this route must be modern, I suppose the Gevo is a good choice, at least it's something new. But yet another GP38 ? Even an SD70 variant would...

The R & E is a real-life railway, not a toy. Of course it's highly unlike!y that DTG would produce a 15" route and even more unlikely that I would...

I'm ready to buy another UK route. All I ask is: 1. It cannot be another route based on an EMU of any kind. 2. It cannot be anything south of...

I play with headphones and I do dislike that noisy intro movie which can't be avoided I guess. So I don't put the phones on until I see it's done....

I'm at level 131,000. I think. Not sure. It might be 1.31 or 13.65. Actually I think I'm going backwards. I swear I was at 200 and change before...

Yes, I just finished a run from Victoria to Gatwick starting at 7:55am and my train was virtually empty. It does spoil the immersion. There were a...

I'm close to 100% certain that your wish will be granted. As for the rest of us......?

Well, so much for that. The next 3rd party route will be the 45 mile mainline Horseshoe Curve, which will feature an ES44AC, one of the most...

As long as you remember there are no rails underneath you!! :D

Just click through them why doncha! Takes 2 seconds. Come on! There are bigger fish to fry.;)

I think MP has opened a can of worms here, not to say Pandora's Box. Many of us were expecting a true simulator back when TSW was launched. Heavy...

Not really. There's a busy commuter line about a quarter mile from me and, at least on days when I can open windows, I can hear the horn and bell...

Whatever it is, I pray to God it's not another generic emu or " Electrostar " route. Although I can't imagine anything else unless DTG take a...

It's an important safety measure,especially on commuter lines in the US, where trains often run through downtown areas with multiple...

DTG more or less said just after its release that it would not be fixed and promised it wouldn't happen " next time" and it hasn't I believe. Not...

Hope your first day went well. I don't ride the bus often, but I've always had a touch of envy when I do. Just seems like a neat way to spend your...

1. Boston Sprinter, because it's a " true " Rush Hour route. 2. Dresden, for it's superior modeling. ( would probably be #1 but for the terrible...

Of course the TS route to Gilroy does add about 30 miles to the original SF- San Jose route, as well as about 20 extra miles of UP freight...

I look forward to steam too, especially the opportunity it presents for a transition period mix of steam and older diesel traction. ( though this...

There are arguably one or two cases where it may have. The addition of a branch line in Dresden and changes to SEHS, for example. I think we...

The Chiltern Main Line route would be the one I would like to see from Just Trains in TSW. Unfortunately, it's about 115 miles long, so probably a...

Apart from the lack of ambient lighting ( this is suburban Glasgow, right? ), it's a well modeled route and there is a fair amount of AI. But...

Just the 314, so far.

Tough break on Christmas Eve, for sure. Hope you recover quickly and enjoy the holidays as best you can. Thank goodness you were both smart enough...

Mine is too. Liquid cooling, regular cleaning and high-quality fans can make a PC very quiet.

JT is a larger, more established, and, I imagine, more profitable publisher of simulation games, including Just Flight. They wouldn't give away...

Yes, despite some of my recent, rather negative posts, I'm still optimistic about the coming year. So, I recently replaced my aging PC - more SSD...
