TBH, almost any livery they choose, but especially anything based on red, white and blue, would look better if they could dispense with those damn...
The idea behind Simugraph is to model mathematically all the components and processes of the actual locomotive. Rail/wheel adhesion is just one...
Too risky: one of those tree branches that pass right through the cab could knock you down. :cool:
I don't miss (or really notice) wheel-rail sparks; what I do miss are catenary-panto sparks.
Not that there's anything unrealistic about SD70ACes on Sand Patch - CSX owns oodles of them - but having so many locos painted Union Pacific...
TSW3 should definitely be for steam only. No diesels, no electrics.
I personally don't think trains should be tarted up like F1 cars. I prefer the quiet dignity of GWR green. But paint jobs really are a pretty...
And on GWE the intermodal trains can run at 75.
Important safety tip: always be sitting down
What time of year?
No, that is a much, MUCH needed functionality which DTG have not implemented. The ability to switch liveries and layers on and off would be...
That's true, but it would violate the ethos of Simugraph. It's like TS physics programming.
Acela layer already built into the timetable It’s a no-brainer anyway. DTG would be leaving money on the table if they didn’t make the Acela
Ever been to the high plains? That’s what they’re like
TSW doesn’t model cog railways
SUggestion for the next one of these: a reskinned 387 Heathrow Express layer for GWE
British Airways have used a Union Flag-based tail flash for years.
I think the most valuable Big Project - and it is a big one - that DTG should engage in is fixing the save routine so that it works reliably, so...
Oh, what fun. Young OOD standing midwatches in the middle of floating ice.....
I think that this is also true of another generally brilliant train, the Class 465. Some wheel screech is prototypical, but sounding like a...
Why? The partially-built OHLE was there at the time the route is set, as also was a mixture of FGW and GWR paint.
Mind you, DRA has two routes running in parallel (or rather, crisscrossing)- like RRO, or as SKA does in a single roadbed. The express/freight...
Wrong folder. It goes in the folder \steamapps\common\Train Sim World 2\WindowsNoEditor\Content\DLC
Apple products have to be physically shipped across the ocean. Digital downloads, not so much. (Also, those UK prices include VAT, whereas the US...
Mind you, Matt was playing a dev build
Ha! Matt encountered this bug, or something like it, in yesterday's stream! At 43 minutes in. But then he recovered it, simply by going to full...
"Beware of arsonists"
But in terms of most real-world usable power, I would vote for the Virginian Class AE 2-10-10-2s over either.
Again, DTG chiseling American customers. Their USD prices are always a tick or two above the exchange-rate pound and euro prices- so for some...
The monster articulateds of the late steam era were built for different purposes. The BB was constructed to run long freights across the prairie...
Yeesh. Didn't you use dogwatches?
While I do not by any means mean to demean Maik or diminish the excellence of his locos, I would observe that to date that is what TSG have (has)...
That's neat, but what use is it?
It's what this subforum is here for.:cool: ____________________________________ We were fortunate enough to be able to maintain a three-section...
Agreed. I got LGV during that last sale, and while it's neato-keen to go fast as hell once or twice, it rapidly becomes boring. I don't see much...
Repressed memories are a common response to past trauma. ;)
Think more. A LOT more.
A "big-ass TV" a) isn't necessary for gaming, and b) is used for all sorts of other things. (Also, top end gaming monitors can easily cost as much...
Not sure. Earlier 'gameplay packs' like HFP and DLGW exist as their own .pak files with locos and services; but if this one actually reworks the...
Ten bucks? Sold.
If you’ve ever been at sea on a clear moonless night, it’s astonishing how much you can see by starlight
I suspect that you will quickly learn what Rivet and Skyhook have: that developing for TSW is vastly more complex and difficult than TS. Both...
Simugraph adds hugely to complexity and time investment, compared to TS' black-box CLUTs. One reason why Rivet has had such a hard time making the...
On a clear night without urban light pollution, starlight illuminates a surprising amount- and moonlight almost brilliant. But roll in an...
The original CSX/HH was released as a public beta. The first legit "game release," TSW(1), was cross-platform, as was intended from the start.
Is it? Development for TSW is vastly more expensive in developer time, which is why ALL TSW routes are shorter than their TS counterparts.
The whole bloody point of TSW is to bring train simming to console.
Australia has a different moon too? <ducks>
