Because trucks and planes are way, way more popular with the broader gaming public than trains. Our niche is in terms of numbers not too far above...
I actually like the fact that Journey forces varied conditions on me; left to myself I'd probably run most everything around noon on a clear June...
You can however see the halt board- it's at window height.
The real problem is that in most case they're placed too bloody close to the signal. At passenger platforms, the placement is usually just right;...
Sadly, there is no way to specify coach/wagon liveries, just locos and MUs
The red G under LZB stands for Gebremsen, braking, and is simply a warning that the system will apply the brakes shortly
Because from where you're sitting high up. you are looking down at an angle of 30-40 degrees and you're quite a ways yet from the last bit of...
1) Zvanz-brem-soong. "Enforced braking" 2) Zoog- bee- ein - floos- soong. "Train influencing"
However, it seems that in Germany, at least in the trade, that's how they're referred to: [ATTACH] Very different from the US, where it's always...
They aren't names! They are the UIC codes which describe the characteristics of the wagon, and each letter means something- for example, a...
You overlooked my major gripe: that the weather selection screen's background is an indoor diorama, so you can't see the weather you're choosing!
Removed by DTG Natster - argumentative
No. IRL the 313s run no services on the BML, just on the Coastway, but they do go home to depot along it as ECS moves, which is what the BML...
With freight services, the first digit also indicates the maximum allowable speed (4 is 75 mph, 6 is 60, 7 is 45)
But that paragraph is inherently contradictory. On the one hand we want DTG to spend more time per route, lengthen the release cycle and...
Oh, yes. AAA games with big budgets are released bug-free.... https://www.pcgamer.com/red-dead-redemption-2-pc-bugs-crashes-fixes/...
I think 100 miles of southern/midlands England would involve a LOT more assets and detailed route building than 100 miles of American high plains...
ReShade cures most all lighting ills.
Well, credit where credit is due, the German locos in DRA and the Electrostars in Brighton were substantially overhauled and improved.
I never did quite understand why GWE didn't at least go to Didcot
Like the Academy in TS
IIRC, there is a technical issue with one of the online stores which makes that impossible; each loco needs to have a "home" route. Although it...
Well, that is already a reality with BML/ECW; one can drive from Victoria to Eastbourne , although one has to change routes at Brighton. And (at...
Does have many advantages for DTG's purposes: there were a shedload of them, they operated everywhere and pulled nearly everything, and they...
It only becomes an issue e if you change ends. At service start you just need to make sure that your headlights are set to Bright
TSG was also responsible for most of the work on the brilliant BR 101 - which does have AFB and LZB.
Train Sim Germany
As I was saying...... But, yes, the savegame bug - which is not at all a 2021 thing - DESPERATELY needs fixing (as well as one save file per...
I also, besides the ugly nose, hate the fact that the loco and the coaches don't have the same cross-section. The existing Acela is a...
You're fine until you start expecting your car to brake on downhills by itself....
I disagree with the arithmetic, which comes out as a wash. Definitely more forwards steps than backwards; Brighton is a marked improvement on...
You're overlooking TSG, which has been exemplary right out of the gate.
TBH, I think you have been oversold by the complaining on here. Brighton Mainline and Riesa-Dresden are outstanding routes, and aside from the...
There's a difference between some quick cosmetic changes like fencing, or belatedly completing a branch that was already almost finished, and...
When DTG decide upon a route DLC, they calculate how much they can spend on it and how much time they have. They then do what they can....
Part of the problem is that DTG have tried to come up with a unified game abstraction for two rather different things: helper MUs with (invisible)...
Dunno, but TheShotte has done a CSX reskin that subs into Sand Patch, and a complete rework of the model into a CN SW1500 for Oakville. Both...
The DRA versions of German locos now reflect their actual behavior: the brakes don't release fully until there is 10kN engine force (sometimes you...

And by now all of the old 2020/Preserved Collection routes have been upgraded to a newer standard in TSW2
FWIW, don't care: I find subways boring. But that's just me.
The ICE3 has the advantage of spreading the traction motors, and thus the dynamic brakes, throughout the length of the train -16 of them in an...
I would add, though, that for small speed adjustments of just a few miles/km per hour, the independent brake is useful since it applies and...
Of course, that would mean actually putting in the whistleposts (I'm looking at you, Clinchfield)
Which engines? The G6 and the AC4400 are very different in this regard!
One doesn't "port" a route from TS to TSW. At most one can recycle some buildings and other scenery assets; but the route proper and especially...
BP should not be at 0; should read 5N. Did you accidentally move the brake handle to Emergency?
Yes. Maybe I just need tto spend more time at Victoria trainspotting; one can’t see much from the cab of an Electrostar!
Again, a developing system across routes of various ages
What's JT's reputation as a TSC developer?
Separate names with a comma.
