If they're in TSC then isn't that pretty much good for "preserving" them for later TSW? DTG already has access to what is required to build them...

JT seems to be doing great with what they're focused on. 80s stuff in the Northwest, centered around Preston. I can definitely see them using that...

I think they're gonna do what they think people will buy. I'm not convinced much of that mentioned was all that popular or "historic" to warrant...

CN Tower is pretty famous and there's the AMTRAK Maple Leaf that goes from NYC to Toronto, plus Ottawa has a pretty neat little rail system that...

Do you have any other freight DLC beyond Cajon Pass?

The Oakville one is fun I must admit. The F125 runs very well on Fife Circle as a stand-in for the Class 68. Same engine and similar design. We...

That describes passenger services too... go forward... stop... go forward... stop.... go forward... stop. Sometimes you get to sit at a red light...

You and Spikee just made the case for doing older US freight routes (pre-2007) and making them hilly. Like Sand Patch. No PTC systems were...

Tooty pretty much gets it in the entry below your post. There's a lot of actions involved in freight driving that just aren't in the game. Only...

Fair enough. Just stating what may be obvious to you but not to everyone. There's a different "work flow" to freight operations that may be...

Freight is a different animal. Different lifestyle. Even though they're both on rails. It's like expecting a school bus driver's day and an...

The only difference (again, practically) between the two systems seems to be that the freight system operates off of GPS and Wi Fi in rural areas....

I really don't need to know the answer since I don't care for it anyway and think it destroys "fun" for casual players, but is there much...

The DTG team are DnD nerds... who woulda thunk it?

I haven't played TSW on console, but from other games I've played on both platforms it's often a lot harder to manage detailed games with lots of...

Yes, we were all called "special" by our parents I'm sure =-)

Yes and yes. Not entirely different crowds since quite a few people play both, but as I've stated before I think the huge number of younger,...

There are several areas that always seemed to be very busy in a small size. Switzerland would be one that you could model a huge part of the rail...

In the case of the Genesee and Wyoming, it's international since they have lines all over the world. I didn't know until I started doing research...

But you could argue that if you're just speeding across flat, similar terrain or obscured by trees you're not really getting the feeling of...

All routes, production of all routes... same point in the discussion. It's not relevant to the main focus of the discussion.

I never said all routes were identical.

Okay. That's a fine belief. Let's test it. So DTG is making mostly urban passenger routes because there's a huge market of rural freight that...

I don't recall what thread. It was roughly 80% being console sales vs steam sales. (Not sure if it was number of sales or total amount of sales)...

Different player base I think. The freight people migrated to there (or stayed there instead of going to TSW) in large part, meaning the player...

Does it take more time to drive them? Seems to be similar given that passenger stops are more often so they both take quite a while to complete....

The truth is that most of the population lives in urban areas and sees commuter trains more. People tend to enjoy things they are familiar with....

Three things: 1- I still say project polls and preorders are the way to go for these sorts of projects. Something to show actual interest by a...

Yes, freight without any pickup/drop offs is just like passenger routes that don't have any passenger stops.

Kind of like how Frankfurt is pretty but boring as hell? *shrugs* To each their own.

Someone was just saying yesterday there are "too many routes in the mountains".... different opinions. Hmmmm.

What does "heavy freight" mean to you? Do you include freight on UK/German routes? They have been working quite a bit on Vectron-pulled freight on...

No, there's 99% of the forum for criticism. Look around. Frankly it's "unfair" to assume that it's 50/50 across the forum. If you go on a...

And as I've said... you have every other thread to post complaints on. Yet the one thread that says "good job DTG you do some things right" is...

And again... you're falsely saying that my position is "no criticism"... but that's not true. I think there's too much unfounded criticism based...

Again... "expectations." Some are valid criticism, such as the suspension taking a year longer than advertised, or some glitches and stuttering or...

You're also grading it on your own personal idea of what "100%" is, not every other player's idea, nor the developer's. Therefore, if your...

I think this is the difference in a nutshell. I am satisfied with the steam and enjoy it. You aren't. I get it we disagree on what is "playable"...

Then.... there's your answer if you want more realistic?

TSC has good variety of freight and much of that also has hills/mountains too. They well sell. If it's "good" or not is entirely a personal...

You missed out. They are nice maps and the steam trains in game are fun. I think Peak Forest is better looking of the two myself, but that's...

"Microsoft Flight Simulator" is regularly attacked for being "not authentic enough" too.... but it's still the leading retail flight sim out...

I don't think it's the routes. It's the lack of more "gameplay loop" content. There's nothing seriously wrong with most of the US freight routes...

And I think you're reasonably too critical for the amount you invest compared to what you get. *shrugs* So we both have opinions. Whoopee. Would...

For passengers yes. Not freight.

Ah yes... the whole "if you don't agree with me, I'll insult your motives." *slow golf clap* Very original. I don't entirely disagree with all...

Reminds me of modern movie directors. Director: "If you don't like it, then don't watch it!" *Audience doesn't watch it* Director: "Why the...

There's more money to be made there. If you combine low income with lots of bitching, then it's not worth it. If it's bitching with good income...
