Besides the Taurus branding, what is is missing?

So I guess DB employed a Hamburgerin for the recordings...

I would find it rather funny if the recordings on the RABe 523 were done in a heavy Schweizerdeutsch accent....

At a guess, the actress DTG hired to do it isn't a native German speaker. I don't imagine Siemens' original recording has that problem!

Well, there are two grading systems, in effect. One is terminological: A Bahnhof is a facility where trains can stop, start, terminate, change...

Perhaps- although DTG is promoting the loco as the "Taurus", not just as the 1116. This is WIP, it could just be that they haven't made the decal...

Some 1200 km. Yeah, that's realistic....

If I'm going to Miami, I would much rather spend 2-1/2 hours than 23 crammed in a metal tube with a bunch of strangers. Or if I can't fly, then...

Good for Simtrack! "We will sell no train before its time." (You probably have to be an American of a certain age to get the allusion)

Newly encouraged by the explanation for the Class 104 delay. Delays are bad, right? Well, in this case it's because SimTrack wants to get it...

DTG Matt : you asked that we ping you with instances of inconsistent keyboard mapping, so here is one. A small one, but extremely annoying. It...

It should be easy enough to look up which CD services run in Austria, and where. At a guess, though, they probably work north from Vienna, not west.

The difficulty there is that Sand Patch was a base route in both TSW2 and the PC version of TSW2020. How do you evaluate "sales" in that case?...

There have been two components to the 420's long gestation. The original one is that TSG was spending a very great deal of its time doing...

"If you build it, they will come" only works in fairy tales. Sure, Amtrak's bureaucrats want shiny new trains- but they'll be just as empty as...

Do you have the current version of Foobian's God Mode installed? A new one just dropped a couple of days ago.

Again, steam WOULD sell if they did it right. A route as good as Blackpool with a steam train as good as the Pacer would sell like hotcakes.

Taylor Swift is a she, and she doesn't play football, she makes records. But her boyfriend is a major football star (Travis Kelce), and she...

And, FWIW, GWE and Bakerloo both include Paddington, but different levels with no in-game connection.

Probably because the Vectron mulitisystem includes Belgian compatability, so the model does too. The MRCE 185.5 model includes multiple electric...

The issue isn't the game engine. Never has been. The issue is Simugraph, and adapting it to handle steam. The system in TSC is much simpler,...

Would death and destruction increase the potential fare base? I doubt it....

The harsh reality is that DTG is going to set pricing policy based on sales figures, full stop. What you or I or the man down t'pub say on the...

Honestly, the only reason I ever bought it (on sale) was to be able to buy the 182. I'm not sure I've ever played it.

While they're at it, why don't they extend SEHS to Gare du Nord?

Another problem with Amtrak in TSW is station stops- there aren't any. Or rather, there aren't two, which is kind of critical. For example, the...

Not really. It was bundled with TSW3, so I doubt mnany people thought they were "buying it again"

Um, we got a Santa Fe F7 in full warbonnet......

Miami to Orlando is just over 200 miles. Dallas to Houston and LA to Vegas roughly the same. There are some highly particular routes where...

And engender a torches-and-pitchforks mob of players who bought the old version and are demanding they get the new one free.

Once upon a time, coaches used steam heating. This was entirely logical when the traction was a great big teakettle. With dieselization, however,...

I would also observe that DTG have yet to find it necessary to include every coach in a standard passenger consist; notoriously no dining or cafe...

Unfortunately the GP9RM is a very specific CN model, heavily rebuilt, which doesn't look like any other GP9 variant.

Actually, it's their 3D rolling stock modeling which is their strong suit; their trains look brilliant. It's physics and audio they have issues...

After much cajoling, DTG finally gave us keyboard commands to open and close passenger doors. Perhaps they could do the same with coupling/uncoupling

By a genuine extension, I mean a separate module which is purchased independently and plugs into the existing route, like a loco DLC. DTG used to...

On KAH, the 187 will necessarily appear since it has its own layer, it doesn't depend on substitution

I think the way forward is to ditch, as OldVern says, the "up and over the mountain" cliche and do something different, and I think that...

I'm not sure any of this is realistic. DTG have yet to make an actual route extension and have said they never will. What they have done is one...

This was the original [IMG]

I have. In fact, I grew up in Germany. Those excellent regional rail networks exist because there are enough people to create demand. Low...

The main train stations used to be downtown. They went broke. None of your recommendations will alter the fact that New York and Chicago are 1200...

AIUI, the current issue with NA freight is not having access to real locos for photo/sound surveys. We have in part brought this on ourselves,...

Also, I believe 4014 needs a source of HEP for the coaches, since the Big Boy was a freight engine and wasn't built with passenger-coach support.

Amtrak over the first fifty years of its existence lost a billion dollars each and every year. That comes to-- 50 billion dollars. Last year our...

If you want to nit-pick, at least pick an important nit, like the lack of an internal connector between the cabs, or perhaps the fact that the...

Just bought it- one of only three routes in ages I have paid full price for (Niddertal, Blackpool, Salzburg). Quality releases do make more...
