But from what I gather from Matt, Brandon et al., this project involved a huge amount of development work, not even counting the time spent on...

Well, Vern has a theory that DTG are checking the market for this kind of project and he may well be right. If that's the case and LIRR2 does not...

I'll repeat what I've said before. The route has been rebuilt, with extensions and a new loco. For that I think $31-32 is not unreasonable and I...

The only thing I like doing on the ECML is driving freight trains powered by the Class 66. Don't drive that rather quiet one handled emu. I like...

Yes would you guys quit the catfight or take it to a schoolyard somewhere. Getting on my last nerve and I'd like to read the interesting parts of...

Thoroughly agree. I'm currently running the Class 20 timetable layer on Blackpool Branches and having a lot of fun with it.

Frightening!! They can probably tell which brand of coffee sits by my keyboard!! But then again we all know that there is almost no personal...

I have to agree with the general feeling of tedium in TSW. Haven't bought anything in many months. The only thing I'm doing currently is...

Like it. Sounds seem spot on. I feel my Steam wallet waking from a deep sleep. Show me more.

Well, the railway is a very noisy place to begin with and I think TSW struggles to reflect that with most routes and locos. I certainly wouldn't...

The problem with TSW is that it seems to be narrowing its focus towards electric traction to the exclusion of anything else. Maybe the plan is to...

( my bold ) Except where the signalling work is to correct the original messed up signalling as in the case of BPE and NYT which was free to route...

The " ultimate train simulator " cannot exclude continuing steam traction and freight routes. Otherwise we would need to redefine the term "...

Except that some new features like formation designer, editor and suspension physics were supposedly included with the launch of TSW4 were they...

Oh, so do I. I'm all in favor of whining, harping and complaining. That's what got us the restoration of the save game feature and the revised...

Different because US freight has been effectively ditched in TSW but miraculously continues on in TSC, even as we speak.( as does steam )

If you took the best parts of TSC ( editor, steam traction, freight ) with the best parts of TSW ( graphics, timetable, real world walkabout )...

Looking at those specs, it seems to me that both versions are short on memory. Going forward, 16GB of RAM is gonna be a bare minimum for most...

I try to stay under 2 mph when coupling. Any faster and I've found that rolling stock will sometimes bounce apart and make you start over.

My inclination right now is to pre-order the route on the 23rd, but I will take a long, hard look at the previews. Scenery, water textures,...

We've been asked politely by the Executive Producer of TSW to end this pointless discussion of crashes. Can you guys not respect that? Frankly...

Although I'm looking forward to LIRR2, in the cold light of morning I might have preferred something more imaginative like a short line pick up...

So, let me get this straight. Apart from adding a new one- handled emu with a prison- cell windshield, Cathcart will be unchanged, meaning the...

This view might have some weight if this were a recent route. But LIRR is four years old. That's a millennium in gaming. You don't repair a 4 year...

Agree. The idiots and malcontents in the world control what the rest of we law abiding citizens have access to. The freedoms of the socially...

Ah, the EMU. The gift that keeps on giving. I wouldn't be surprised when we go to our rest, we find emus up there too. ;)

Well, I'm going to go against the grain here. Much as I have been critical of DTG recently I'm giving them a round of applause for bringing this...

Honestly, this is looking much better than I expected. And, for those complaining about the price: C'mon folks, LIRR is going on a four year old...

Given the amount of work that's been done on LIRR, it promises to be an entirely new experience. So from that point of view I think a price of...

The big advantage we PC players have is that Steam sales are very predictable and pretty much happen at the same time year after year. So we can...

Can you explain why the night lighting on ECML, for example, is so much better than on other routes like BCC, Glossop and Cathcart. Why is there...

It may be an unsubstantiated " prediction ", but unfortunately he may be correct in predicting a one train, one-handled emu A-B commuter route,...

I've used headphones for gaming since the very beginning, with a base boost switched in and noise cancelling, not so much for the better sound but...

Sand Patch, Penn Corridor and Oakville. I will add Clinchfield if it gets fixed.

Yes I know. I was pointing out that it might be possible to get a license for that route, even if Metra won't play ball.

A fair point but I would argue that deficits like steam and freight make it questionable whether you can call TSW a fully fledged genuine train...

Not a Metra line ( though it does share trackage and some stations ) so separate license needed. However at about 90 miles and I think about 20...

I bought them too ( though quickly refunded Goblin ). And they are well-built routes which I might have enjoyed too if there had been more...

Have to agree with you there. Lots of issues that never get a response from anyone at DTG.

Then take Matt's advice and don't play those kinds of routes if they put you to sleep. As he says, they're not for everyone, though I seem to...

I know that many tall buildings in California are built to withstand some level of earthquake, but is that true of New York? Some of those very...

Finally got around to this service and, you're right, it's an absorbing run. I'm not normally a frequent player of the ECML, but I enjoyed this...

That was exactly my experience during my brief, two hour quickie with Goblin. Can't question the quality of route building and, simple though it...

I'm reluctant to get my hopes up. With TSW I've become a Missourian; Show Me or I'll believe it when I see it.

I'll have to take another look at my German routes. Haven't done that in a while. I was thinking of the UK stations ( Manchester, Glasgow,...

Well, most of the major terminal stations in TSW are post-apocalyptic, so my guess is that it will be similar. However, the route as a whole looks...

My other question, not knowing the area well, is whether the route as modeled has logical start and end points.

I haven't bought many of the recent German/Austrian routes and I'm not very knowledgeable about the locos ( frankly they all look like the same...

A glance at the Amtrak waiting room at Union Station in Chicago would show mostly young people and students plus families and politicians, ready...

Just like me, I went for anything " old ", generally diesel and steam, although I do like those old electric locos that ran on Woodhead and the...
