This was, um, a joke. Absolutely no way MTA or any other licensor would tolerate having their line portrayed negatively.

Just to expand a bit on headcode first digits you might encounter on BML: 5- empty stock moves. These tend to retain the other numbers of the...

By whom? To the contrary, Matt has said that route merging is something DTG hope to be able to do, eventually, and that keeping that potential...

The real endurance limiter for steam engines was water, which they consumed at prodigious rates. On a typical North American railroad there were...

On LIRR and Harlem: passengers being mugged.

Let's not forget the knock-on effects of a mistake, an honest one but still a mistake, made at the outset: building TSW on Unreal 4.19... which...

Paul Jackson is the CEO of Dovetail.

Not the same sorts of "bugs." QA is looking for game-crashers and game-breakers. Beta looks for missing scenery and badly-placed stop markers.

The person or persons who do make those decisions is/are Matt's boss(es).....

I like that you provide backstory! However, the A unit if built in '45 would have to have originally been an F3, later factory-upgraded to F7...

DTG aren't going to make or remodel a loco just to serve as AI. The best they could do would be to have 3rd-rail 377s running rather absurdly...

It seems to me that it might make sense to divide the QA team into 4 teams, which would improve both speed and, at least as important, quality....

That's a whistlepost, not a milepost

The problem with the Bakerloo timetable is the limited capacity of the game's dispatcher. Apparently they built, long ago, the full RL timetable...

That particular loco (the real one DTG based its model on) is privately owned by the Aggerbahn (Andreas Voll GmbH, Wiehl), and lives and works in...

It seems to be an ongoing bug- sometimes "Continue journey" respawns the engine you were just driving. Happened to me too (Staring at an ICE...

And I wound up getting RT on sale just so I could buy the DB 182, which is quite a lot of fun, "similar to" the standard TRAXX but different to...

The Wivelsfield connector would have to be made in order for the merger to happen, that is true. But don't expect a "Wivelsfield route extension"...

That's largely a function of the calendar; Liverpool-Crewe is the last of the routes decided upon last year, and DTG have yet to make their...

Matt has declared, flat out, that route extensions are not going to happen. No way, no how. Route merging, on the other hand, is on his list of...

"It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.'”

While that is true, in the period we are talking about, the Victorian era and the dawn of railroading, ships were still determining local noon...

Or at the very least, as with SKA, adding static freight cars to fill them up.

Which is likely why DTG haven't attempted them yet. Currently they can't do 100 miles of densely-populated England within time and budget...

Let's give Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr some love: a bit short, but a split-route network with interesting traffic- and lets you get the outstanding BR...

Extend ECW to Hastings, and then call Hastings-London the "Conqueror's March"? ;)

Keep in mind that PR screenshots and most of Matt's streams use dev builds, which include stuff-still-in-testing (remember the "accidental" reveal...

177 days without a workplace accident fix.

And there is always the joy of "surfing the yellows" as one follows another train (especially an all-stops service)

Yes, exactly. A TSW route timetable is being run all the time:* one train driven by the player, all the others AI. Or you can get out of one...

Of course, the 296/7 series cab cars have it, but those are IC cab cars for the 101 and necessarily run over 160.

A perfectly valid reason. OTOH, one can certainly understand DTG's thinking, in making the upgrades to the three routes every player has.

AIUI, the Brighton Main Line timetable is very much based on the real one. I don't know if that's the case with East Coastway, although it does...

You're rather missing the point. A full timetable isn't good so that people can read it, it's good because the route is full of life while you're...

Exactly. BML is great because it's always in motion, trains headed in all directions all the time. Bakerloo is dull, even beyond its being a...

They have been retasking Adam's team just lately, because there is no point in having them continue to do route updates what with six months'...

And not very useful, since no cab car has AFB.

But the code for Hambug-Lübeck is HBK, Hamburg-Lübeck. Not HLK or HAK.

All I am doing is singling out the only existing loco that is "close enough" which DTG can include without reworking it The only thing "wrong"...

However, that route was "looked at" within two weeks, when they fixed the brake-valve bug.

Which contradicts what I said, how?

Then that must be a recent change; didn't used to be the case. I know, because originally I played the MS version, and had to buy it over again on...

Actually, yes: "Release" on German and British locos means "release stuck brakes by using (a small) overcharge." Not used except in that case,...

Be advised that the Microsoft Store (Gamepass) only carries the base PC game, not any DLC, and DLC from Steam or Epic are not compatible with the...

Pretty minor, and neither fixed any bugs. Rush Hour passengers is literally a matter of checking a box to turn it on; easy enough to do it when...

It's Schrödinger's Update.

Not even that, actually. The upgraded SD40 will appear in this pack on SPG in CSX livery, but the one in Clinchfield will remain just as it was...

In that case, DTG Natster, perhaps we could get a little clarification as to why Adam's updates are perpetually shoved to the back of the testing...
