The base font is almost never right for anything, except sometimes for small markings. Large lettering requires bespoke letters. The secret is...
If that's the case with Cross City then it's an improvement.
Pennsy GG-1 GP7 or 9 high-nose EMD shovelnose E-unit (EA through E6) Baldwin "Sharknose" DR ALCO PA, FA or FPA Note that these were all very...
Problem is they would be very boring A-B runs with little traffic. US passenger only gets interesting in areas with urban commuter systems.
I very much disagree. What needs to be segregated is platform-specific, usually technical topics. Gameplay concerns are almost never a matter...
The thing is, IRL ballast often doesn't match the ground texture. It's brought in and dumped by MOW trains and may have been quarried hundreds of...
IIRC, the signal is red-but-shunting allowed (red with two small whites- I can't remember the German). This signal requires that you hold the PZB...
Wouldn't matter anyway; game stop markers are always put at the far end of the platform no matter the train length.
That's rapidly changing with the universal adoption of PSR by all NA Class I's.
Well, I realize the question wasn't addressed to me, but my thoughts: Cajon Pass is the best US freight route yet, although it still lacks certain...
Comparing any other railroad to Amtrak is like comparing any other car to a Yugo. Or maybe a Trabant.
You can switch back to yards in Settings if you don't like feet.
In daylight, and especially sunrise and sunset, the lighting in the new TSW3 routes is wonderful. At night the problem is not the skylighting but...
Or rerun laziness, like just using the Sherman Hill UP autoracks for Cajon Pass (when BNSF autoracks would have been really easy to do)
Funny, I'm having no issues
Dresden and London are at almost exactly the same latitude
Well yes. Naturally. But where you are located longitudinally within a time zone has a profound effect on the "time of day" the sun rises and...
But in different time zones. Britain is close to the eastern edge of GMT, so it's very "early" in the diurnal cycle.
Not many of the routes modeled in TSW make that clickety-clack sound IRL, because jointed rail is rare and getting rarer.
The difference is that the 101 already existed when WCL was made
And the 387 was derived from it as well; and the 375 is just another variation so SEHS doesn't really count either. SoS got two almost by...
No way is DTG doing a route with more than one new engine. They used to, long ago, but that's not happening again.
US versions of European designs, including the Liberty, are massively overweight = slow and sluggish, because of the brutally heavy reinforcement...
Assuming they playtest. One bugaboo of mine occurs in any of the many scenarios where one has to change cabs to reverse direction or something:...
The consist on 50001 München-Hamburg B. is limited to 100km/h Vmax anyway.
Why would you ever set up a passenger train in LL? Those coaches are very light and have powerful brakes: they should be set to R if available and...
Because Amtrak management realized they weren't wasting taxpayer money fast enough
For the Cathcart challenge, you just have to go ahead and speed- nowhere is it "legal" to do 70. The Newton branch gives you the most open...
What's frustrating is that DTG giveth, but then DTG taketh away. Riesa-Dresden had magnificent night lighting, but it's never been repeated. The...
Sand Patch, without a doubt. The grade is challenging without being too rough for a newbie. Shunting as well as road work. And three locos, each...
The SKW 146 is not supposed to be drivable; it's intended as an AI train. When you select a 146 in Timetable mode, choose the DRA version NOT this...
While that is true, DTG (a) don't want litigation, which is so costly that often the only winners are the lawyers; and (b) they certainly don't...
As the Steam sale approaches its end, I have decided to bite the bullet and buy one new route for (close to) full price. But which of the two is...
Not without Class 80x's.
There is a "subtitles" toggle in Settings; check to see if it's turned off.
Ah. Right. But is the G6 re-fuelable?
I reckon there is something of a diplomatic dance involved: while, in theory, DTG might be able to win a court fight, in practice they don't want...
Also, with air brakes on the dynamic brakes seem to randomly engage and disengage on their own, making stops rather exciting and difficult to finesse.
Well, since in game no diesels run on the route anyway.....
An excellent idea. Not long ago that was a reality, because TSW2020 was still on the market and was in effect an affordable bundle of five...
That was not included for licensing reasons. Even though all but 5 of the 314s stayed in blood-and-custard all the way to retirement, DTG didn't...
Which may underlie the US railroads' periodically painting an engine in a "heritage" livery- if need be, they can claim "but we're still using...
The reason cabs and coach interiors appear so washed out and overexposed is because DTG don't apply shadows from internal light sources or any...
I think what Bravo is saying is that some brands/logos/liveries are so ancient that it would be impossible to research them accurately enough to...
Yup. To me, anyway, the standard for realistic graphics (esp lighting effects) remains Red Dead Redemption 2- which was released in 2018 for...
Clinchfield is an excellent route. It is imperfect- I posted a lengthy ticklist - but most of the ticks are pretty trivial. The banking comms...
Well, I regard this as money wasted on a route I will never play, like LIRR and Boston. Unless, of course the signaling is fixed- the day Hell...
It may be connected to the fact that with older routes, the flare around signal lights was a huge hazy blob (in fact, one can't tell a double from...
Tested with DX11: still crashes.
It gives me no chance to even start braking. No moving bug, no alarm, no nothing: just BANG! Zwansbremsung. ------------ It's disenheartening to...
