Yup, DTG are a business, and a business that has shareholders. Their one and only purpose is to make as much money as possible.
It's a lot, lot, lot more work to develop an engine from scratch than to modify an off the shelf option. For a developer of DTGs size, it's...
It wouldn't bother me if there were 0 scenarios. Timetable is all I care about, and all I play other than the Tutorials and Route Introduction.
Some really good LIRR videos on this guys Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@3985uprr
I think fictional routes are better left to Users with the new editor. I'd rather DTG not waste a development slot on something that isn't going...
I'm honestly just sick of reinstalling all my routes everytime, it's literally like 300GB to redownload. They would likely make more money...
I'd absolutely be over the moon if we get the DE and DM 30ACs.
Hopefully they pick Orange County over Ventura for it.
I'd certainly rather have Metrolink's Orange County line, with the Pacific Surfliner over any possible freight route they could ever release for...
There honestly isn't a single US route I would want more than this. I think DTG did a really good job on Antelope Valley, and having the massively...
They'd be getting a visit from Trading standards in the UK if the promised features were moved to another product lol.
I like TSW4, it was still released too early as we still don't have two of the promised main features over four months later.
[ATTACH] Have this square floating in the sky above Newhall Station.
Don't forget that every new truck is free as well.
Oh, yeah then in that context I can agree that it's pretty much just BPO. As much as I absolutely love the Azuma, ECML 100% should have gone to...
Vorarlberg, Vectron and Antelope Valley are all very good imo.
Unreal 3 was still supported for a long time, Unreal 4 still has a long life of support left. It's really not an issue for another 5+ years.
No, but then you have TSW which doesn't look great by todays standards, and has poor physics (Steam, US freight) and riddled with bugs that aren't...
UK: TVL and BML upgraded to ToD4, and even better if TVL is extended to Bishops Aukland, and BML extended to London Bridge. US: Peninsular...
Better graphics can definitely correlate to a better game, especially when it's trying to imitate life like a Simulator game and isn't an artistic...
I just don't think TSW does US freight very well. The routes aren't long enough, and most of the time the trains aren't long enough.
I would love both, but if it's going to be one or the other, I'd prefer the DM30 as it's different to another EMU.
Yeah 100% with you on wanting the DM30, while the M9 is cool it won't actually add anything "new". The base LIRR timetable is so barren it's...
The dualmode DM30 would be great to see, would add a lot more variety to the route.
LIRR upgrade to TOD4, the M9 and maybe an extension adding in the Port Washington and Oyster Bay Branches would be awesome. Extension up to...
Are they doing better though? They might be positively received, but does that transfer into more sales? Or transfer into enough sales for the...
The AI can handle it, as they don't need to startup the loco to use it. But what tends to happen is if you come to a service using that loco later...
I can still buy it yeah.
Yeah, it's not a scam, and I do like TSW4 overall. But they should not have advertised Formation designer and Suspension as part of it. It just...
Honestly if they had just done the Lidar terrain and tunnels, all the trees/buildings could have been added later by modders in the editor.
Yep, the substitution system could really use some kind of "exclude" tag to give us more control on what subs in.
Considering "a few" is generally considered to be 2-3, and we're now entering our 5th month out of launch, it's suspect. It isn't a scam, but it...
I mean, we were sold TSW4, which was said to include the Formation Designer, and the new Suspension system. Neither are here after four months....
Since it contains some of the new TSW4 visual things, I'm going to say most likely not.
Yeah I have zero interest in the Goblin Line, or the new German route. I'm hoping the unannounced US route is good, or they have some loco DLC in...
You can load/unload certain cargo in game. But only at specific points on the map. Tees Valley Line for example has a coal loader and unloader....
Weird, it's almost like TSW4 wasn't anywhere near ready for release after only one year.
It's ridiculous that it's somehow ok for software. It's not acceptable, and in any other industry a company would be eaten alive for it.
WCL is a TSW2 route though, that's my point. WCL is definitely worse I agree. But DTG haven't released anything as rushed feeling as Maintalbahn...
I'm playing on PC, on maximum settings, on a 7800x3D 3080TI 12GB and have 64GB DDR5 Ram. So no, I'm not on a console or a "cheap" pc. Maintalbahn...
I'd disagree to be honest, the scenery on Maintalbahn is some of the worst released since TSW2 days. Lots of clipping issues, floating objects,...
Sure does feel that way doesn't it?
I would use to agree with this, but despite being a bit short, Berninaline is a much, much higher quality route than Maintalbahn for example.
Because this update was a few devs passion project, that they appear to have worked on in their own time. They weren't operating to the normal...
I'm honestly just tired of being led on and dealing with the never fixed bugs at this point. Don't announce a feature for a new version of your...
Beta updates in steam are new branches, because they run simultaneous to the non beta version. So it will be opt in to use the beta branch.
Possibly the new beta branch they mentioned in the article for the formation designer?
Jesus, nice to see we still don't have the TSW4 features over four months after release, and that they still aren't even close.
Considering some of the routes, and how buggy they have been lately. I'm fine with older routes getting extended and improved rather than new...
That's actually what happened last time they went this quiet haha.
Separate names with a comma.
