Oh, absolutely agree. Would love to have seen the slam door era. That would have opened the door for more freight and maybe the old " Brighton...
Oh, you've just raised a red flag for me. I've assumed since the player train resumes as normal that everything is back to the way it was before...
My word! How have you been able to run that many services just since Thursday!!? :)
Burn-in on any type of display is very unlikely these days. What you can get is " image persistence or retention ", but it usually goes away after...
I do have all the layers and required DLC, but on my Brighton-London morning rush hour run I just saw a few 377's and 387's and I think one GX at...
Until Boston gets its signal, timetable and catenary fixes and London gets its Rush Hour passengers and some more variety in traction around...
Just made my first Brighton to London run in the 387. Good: Generally well modeled, stations look decent ( I'm not familiar with the route,...
Well, if you're right, what on earth is the point of beta testing in the first place? If there's no attempt to catch glaring errors in trains,...
I disagree with the "bonus" notion. For one thing routes are being released with just 2 trains or locos in TSW. And one at least is usually...
Excellent post. Sums up the entire problem in a nutshell.
Brandon said on the forum that the Beta Testers catch just about everything. That begs the question: why do so many elementary errors make it to...
Not seeing or feeling any cab sway or movement in either train. Trains running much too smoothly and it's very quiet in the cabs, much better...
I don't think it's so much that quality has declned but rather that it has settled into an inconsistency. We get a route like CRR which gave me an...
Oh, yes, absolutely. I have every loco available and it would be very hard work to program each one individually.
That's a royal pain in the tush. I hate this business of switching back and forth between RD and keyboard/mouse. In fact I generally only drive...
Maybe try pausing the update and restarting Steam. It should continue the download.
Out of interest, how big was everyone's download today? Mine is ongoing and just over 10GB.
I suppose, since it's called " London Commuter ", we shouldn't have expected much in the way of freight. And I largely discount any talk of...
You can ride the Broadway Limited ( rival to the 20th Century) on TS Classic Horseshoe Curve.
Actually in Bellevue, Washington, but you're correct about the time zone ( PDT, BST -8).
There's an awful lot of recycling of locomotives on both UK and US routes, a reluctance ( or inability) to build new ones from scratch. When you...
Is it just me or are all locos pretty generic these days, American freight locos, almost all German locos and all British emus. Ah, for the good...
Plus the Hiawatha ( Chicago - Milwaukee), 6 or 7 roundtrips per day.
If HSC was being produced by DTG, there would have been a chance for a back dated version in the same vein as TS Classic, with some vintage locos...
Haven't checked my rig yet but I doubt it'll make the cut. What with upgrades requiring a second mortgage I feel like I'm being outpaced by...
Yes, it is, especially when you've just dropped a boatload of moola to upgrade your gameplay experience.
Yes, from the stream alone, it appears to be the same excellent quality as the original route. I didn't quite get that comment about the ICE3...
Well there is a "core" of software which is a prerequisite for the game. I mean you can't just buy a route or loco and expect it to do anything on...
Me too, but the way prices are right now, it might be more cost effective to just buy a new gaming PC.
What, and just completely abandon the many gen8 players still full of enthusiasm for the game? Pretty callous thinking, I'd say. Lots of gen9...
Which just goes to show that stamping your feet and yelling at the top of your lungs sometimes works in the candy aisle and the toy shop. It can...
Train driving has become too easy with too much "auto pilot". Put this guy back on a 363 switching duty for a few weeks. That'll sort him! :D
I agree with you about the need for custom bindings in general and some of the brake/throttle controls can be very inconsistent. But I have to...
Maybe DTG could give gen8 players a kind of "mini roadmap" tomorrow, expanding on the BML situation and giving them some assurances about the...
The only reason I'd ever sign into Dovetail Live ever again is if there were some real, tangible rewards like points towards purchasing actual...
DTG have said categorically that they will continue to support Gen8 consoles and that all dlc after the Rush Hour will be released on all...
I'm sure most players would love to create a network of connected rail lines, who wouldn't? The software will certainly be available at some...
That's correct, currently, but the train sets are supposed to be fitted with genuine cab cars shortly. It's Amtrak's shortest route, so push pull...
Anyone with less than 16GB of ram more like. DTG really needs to revise its minimum and recommended requirements upwards, at least for PC.
The "Downeaster" also, I believe.
You are in a pickle with this pesky PS5 bug. I suppose when you choose a route to play, you have to make sure you haven't deleted a route that...
Well, PS4 has 8 GB of ram, which is the amount recommended by DTG for TSW2. Well, I need to rest my case. I feel like I've spent the entire day...
But I don't think they're asking for the whole cake. Maybe adding back one or two layers like the 166. Is that such a giant ask?
Everyone is hung up on the number of services, it seems. BML has 1,400 driveable apparently, this one has 61 (driveable?). But a lot depends on...
Yes, well I'm no expert, but it's hard to believe that one more little DMU, say the 166, would topple a PS4 to the ground. And, as you say,...
Quite possibly. But do you really want to make such a sweeping statement of approbation, based on screenshots and a single Twitch stream. I'm very...
That seems eminently fair. :)
Not at all. I'm on PC, but I'm happy to go to bat for gen8 players.
Hm, I don't see any "slanging match" here. Actually, I see only a fairly civil discussion of an important topic. Your statement about gen8 is...
Not degrades exactly, but it is superceded over time. It becomes faster with less latency etc. (think DDR4/ DDR3 ) and the amount you need...
Separate names with a comma.
