Well, it's a video game, and thus expects video game reflexes. :)

Your taking the time to write these detailed reality checks is always appreciated, Matt, thank you!

It's worth mentioning that every point you're making above is what makes DV less of a sim. DTG specifically aims for realism in the trains and...

I thought the licensing issue referred to the railroad licenses DTG has to get. UE is free and open source, and anyone can modify it to their...

FWIW, looking at the channel, I see a 4 1/2 hour stream posted two hours ago that includes EDG, IoW, and the Class 700. Is that the one you're...

After a lifetime of seeing U.S. freight trains in action, actually being able to be behind the wheel, as it were, and control these beasts is...

So if you're doing SoS liveries, do you get a steamboat? [ATTACH]

That is amazing. Best sales pitch for TSW3 I've seen yet.

One of DTG's more admirable policies IMO is their commitment to engaging with the public, both via the forums and with their dedication to...

I hate that stuff. We'd run into it all the time on pinball machines we were restoring, because people would use it to anchor screws and such on...

I will predict now that Windows 12 is coming.

That's sad to hear, since it seems like the people who play it tend to appreciate it. I thought it was wonderful, and it got plenty more good...

I thought someone said that the advertised job was Technical Director, while Jane is CTO.

Guess I could have worded that more clearly. I wasn't referring to getting a patch as a whole, just wondering if the PC patch had some individual...

Interestingly, people in the other thread are saying that the post-patch PC version isn't having the problems that the consoles are. I wonder if...

Edit: Never mind, timeline memory fail.

This may be exactly why people just say "ice". :)

What do we know? Jane is in the role of CTO, a management role, and I don't believe claimed to even be doing any development. They created this...

Just FYI, UE5 games will run on gen 8 consoles.

I have and did, my main conclusion being that while there does seem to be evidence of past questionable behavior on Jane's part, there are also so...

Don't know Jane from Adam, so I can't say I have a dog in this fight. But what gives me pause is the behavior of the attackers. While Jane's...

I remember being bummed as a kid when cabooses stopped appearing on freight trains. 50 years later, I had to deal with them on Clinchfield and...

It's worth a reminder that at last official word from DTG, consoles were 2/3 of the user base, and while back then we were also told the vast...

I can live without this due to having ridden more than once through the Moffat Tunnel on the California Zephyr. They cut off the outside air due...

Opportunity to educate an ignorant colonist: what changed between an ICE 1 and an ICE 3, and what happened to the ICE 2?

Shilling for more sales is rather important for a company's survival. :) Especially attracting new customers. A series of articles highlighting...

Nope, DTG has said many times that they develop for current systems and scale down for older ones as necessary. They've also said that they try...

Your post (and several of the above posts) has considerably more info than the OP. Other posts question the necessity. Just as a new route...

What exactly would this add to TSW that would bring in enough revenue to make it worth spending the time and money to implement it?

The Focus purchase was announced on April 20, only 2.5 months ago. Speaking as someone who works for a smaller company that was acquired by a...

Just had another idea: A passenger run starts as normal, but then the interior lights go out and the train becomes a high speed express, because...

A train set up as a haunted house walkthrough would be awesome, but I could see it making the licensors skittish.

Not sure of the exact method by which Humble gets the keys, but the bulk of the money by default goes to the publisher. In the case of this...

Very sorry your wife is so ill, especially over a milestone birthday. Best wishes to you both. Pity there's no character designer so you could...

I have a few PC games (such as TSW), but my PS4 Slim is my main game machine, as I'm waiting for a PS5 v2 before buying that. Also still have my...

I've wondered about this kind of thing too, where some patches are waiting while others cut ahead in line. But I'd guess that Jane was only...

The simulator parts do focus on realism and are praised by real-life train people. The "gamey" parts are additions to the game and don't make the...

The way the bottom of the back slopes up, it looks like wheelies were planned for. I like the name "DoveTrailer".

So basically you have to brute force it. Yikes. That seems like a stressful job.

This kind of behind-the-scenes reality check is incredibly valuable. Thanks much for the explanation. One follow-up. When a game publisher...

I can safely say that it would be impossible for me to ever be anyone's sister. Tastes fine to me, just strong, but in general I like strong...

I do this too. Why remove the bag early? Then you just have vaguely tea-flavored water.

Hoo's on first?

One thing to remember re. core game updates is that the TSW2-->TSW3 update required every existing DLC to be recooked by DTG and redownloaded by...

The proper level of geekiness can fill any amount of time on any subject. Question from overseas: What makes each of these brands unique?

Yep, but its main use for plurals can make that confusing. A dedicated word would be nice.

Damn, very sorry to hear that.
