I have zero interest in Mastery so the pop-up is particularly annoying. I suppose I could opt out of Dovetail Live, as you suggest.

I seem to recall this happening to one or two other players after a recent update. Guess you have to keep an eye on the settings page.

Absolutely I would. I've mentioned it before. I bought a bunch of scenario packs for TS, many created by High Iron Simulations. If Gary and others...

I still think the Solent (is that the correct name?) looks better in TS than in TSW2. But then water quality is my particular hobby horse and it's...

Seagulls are fun!! I'll have to take a look. On the other hand, I'd hate to see one of them try to dive into the sea of glass that surrounds the...

Where are the passengers? I must admit I gave up on the scenario planner because it doesn't include a proper consist editor, among other...

Yes, much as I like the Oakville Sub, there is so much unused potential for that route. Apart from the unusable yards, there are all those...

That depends on the future of the high speed rail project which is planned to share the right of way with the current commuter trains between...

What is in those dreadful looking sandwiches?

More locos why not? But what SPG really needs is to be as busy as it is in real life, where it is a prime rail fan location.

I'm sure that's right, especially since it refers to just 2 routes.

That's right. American passenger railroads, including Amtrak, are slowly implementing PTC(Positive Train Control) so they can go faster.

Oh boy! Jesting aside, I can't begin to imagine the uproar that would ensue if a less than perfect Big Boy or Flying Scotsman were to be released....

Whoa there Stujoy. Last I checked I'm still around. I rode my share of kettles and have fond memories of them. The sights, sounds and smells are...

I'm really enjoying the game, not having any major problems. But I realize that some people are having serious issues and their criticisms and...

If it's a new consist editor, I promise to go to Mass every Sunday for a whole year.

A consist creator/planner/editor would be a terrific improvement to the game, but it's not on the road map so it's not coming. There are limited...

Believe me, I'm right behind you age wise. I sometimes walk into a room and have to think for a moment why I'm there!:D. Learning the ins and outs...

TS has, of course, "simple" and "expert" modes, so there must be a sizable audience for the "click and go" choice. I don't see why it couldn't be...

Even on the streams the frame rate varies wildly, depending on the platform/specs they're playing with.

There are a number of high speed rail projects in various stages in the United States and the North East Corridor has some sections that are high...

Excellent suggestion. Irish Rail in general should be represented in TSW2.

As I've said in past threads, high speed routes can be an occasional diversion, but, for me, they're not true railroading, more "transportation"....

Hm, I guess I've been living under a rock. I'm thinking that we have plenty of high speed routes, particularly those ICE trains that you don't...

Very strange. Is it just the logo part or does it include the introductory "movie"?

What a waste of time.

Some years ago I tried using a controller in TS but I found it to be complicated and required a level of hand- eye coordination I just didn't...

Don't feel bad. You're not wrong really. Imminent means "will occur at any moment". DTG were using the word in its looser sense meaning " soon or...

Well UK players should count themselves fortunate that they have so many routes to choose from. We Americans have but 3 (4 if you add Oakville)....

A fix for all of these "2 loco" problems has been on the roadmap for a while now. Pushing them on to an adjacent track has been my solution.

Sorry, I was referring to the Steam sale. Don't know if consoles have a holiday sale. But, either way, it's still a great set of dlc and worth having.

As many of us have said, there is a middle ground. Just give us the ability to make our own consists and run them in a proper scenario creator. We...

Definitely worth getting the route and the extra locos. Should be another sale in a couple weeks.

Depends how accurate they want to be I guess. I think UP had different trucks and either CSX or UP was heavier- can't remember which. Talking...

I guess we'll have to assume that all the fixes and improvements for SPG which were in the last "next arrivals" have been released in the game. No...

We're not joking, Michael!! ;) Seriously, I think most of us would be happy with a proper scenario and consist creator.

Looking forward to Skyhook's rendition of Cane Creek. We'll be able to compare their AC4400CW and SD40-2 with the SPG versions. I assume they'll...

My goodness, with those specs, the game should be running like a hot knife through butter. I'd be looking at a system problem, can't be the sim...

Gentle use of the throttle, plenty of sand and patience. It can take a while for brakes, couplings and tractive force to travel through a long,...

Yes it can be confusing. On relatively straight routes like HMA it doesn't matter much but on SPG you don't know where you are sometimes. Imagine...

The only graphics issue that bothers me is the water texture quality. It's better in TS than TSW2 and that is a mystery to me. I want to see...

Well, it's not as if they're well dressed, is it ? They all seem to shop at the same resale store.:love:

"Bail off " is all the way to the left, beyond "release ".

Well, at least that debunks the myth about the Amtrak license being "lost ".

I agree. My attention span for anything these days is about an hour. A 50 mile route is about my limit, especially with the lack of a reliable...

Have the same problem. Tried setting up the loco etc. Tried several times but could not get the control car to accelerate. Also, couldn't find the...

Of course the Clinchfield TS version was very well done and well received here in the US which probably influenced the decision to make it for...

It's there, just hard to reach. Sit in the 2nd man's seat and ferret it out, under the driver's console.

I think dynamic weather, a true consist editor and more scenarios with new routes (or scenario packs as in TS). And my pet peeve - make rivers,...
