We'll see. If you cut loading times by 30 seconds but stand around for 12 minutes, yeah it's back to the menu time.
I believe the dev who came on here said it would come with an updated timetable that would be "much busier" so it'll be more than the 104... MAYBE...
That's the gist of it right there.... different people want different things. I'd prefer a quieter line with more to do. But then, I don't play it...
The "quick drive" interface/UI is a lot easier to use than TSW. Less clicking around and creating. You can just hop in, choose a route, choose...
Well we know what ones are in the TSW 5 FAQ already listed for release.
The only downside is that you'll ONLY be getting "modern" routes from then on, since other eras won't "fit" the timetables/era/rolling stock. And...
What is the "reasonable expectation" about being told you can drive between routes... but then having routes from different eras that are...
The last part is my biggest concern. You have to PLAN AHEAD for this sort of thing, and some routes will "work" and others will have to be...
Possibly. Although if (as I suspect) they are JUST writing a simple code to reroute from one "mission" to another, then it's relatively little...
Agreed. 9 routes for a new player is REALLY sweet. It's a steep entry price, but that's a LOT of content. And to be fair many AAA games with DLC...
Dead item to YOU. DTG is banking that upgrading to TSW 5 will bring in a TON of new players. You can disagree with their marketing, but that's...
Ah. I see the misunderstanding. I meant the specific trains referenced "in real life" compared to their TSW counterparts that don't stop irl at...
You already get a "deal" even if you have Cajon Pass because each train's individual cost adds up to more than the Deluxe upgrade.
Yes they exist. No one is arguing that they don't exist. Just saying that the game has artificially created ones because of the routes are...
Please read my comments. Many of the "waits" are created by mismatched schedules, when in fact in real life the trains don't have lengthy waits....
Guess we'll find out. I don't see why they would intentionally put labor into making it LESS convenient for players, especially freight players...
From what I've seen it just lists the potential routes you CAN connect to in the 2nd route timetable. You don't decide what time...just which one...
It's still not clear what "time" it is in the new route. If the first route ends at 5:30, the new route starts at 6:00... We agree that the next...
It's simple... the veteran players who have "all the routes" already are collectors and will get Deluxe for the 390 and the Vectron to "collect...
The route is just there for the "new people" to have that and San Bernadino out of the gate. Then then can "route hop." The claim was to be able...
From the looks of the route (irl) it seems like it'll be a mix of the rolling stock of Antelope with the urban commuter feel of Peninsula. Of...
I think it all depends on your definition of "enthusiast." Someone who says "cool I like trains"... okay. Someone who is gonna talk selfies...
I'd love to go out and make some contacts with the local railroads, but I thought we were told NOT to contact them to solicit help? The website...
I think it's a relatively minor tweak involving draw distance that they can get around to when they can and the list are the ones they are sure...
It might be me... (probably) but is there a trick to getting into the Pacer when spawning in Free Spawn? I spawn it and there's a door unlock and...
TSC has had about as much released in the past year, just not bunched all at once at a yearly release like TSW. I'd argue that if DTG did that for...
Do people need to use Steam to play TSC? I know there's a lot of console players not using Steam so won't be listed on those stats (they'd be...
GWE and Preston-Carlicle by the end of the year. The rest early next year.
Well my point was that for new ROUTES you don't need access to vehicles we already have in game. You're talking about new LOCOS which is a...
There is an ES44 in game already on Cajon Pass. You don't need much more than what is in game for modern US freight since a LOT of it is hauled...
Considering that by my count (could be wrong) 9 routes and a half dozen locos came out this year for TSC, it's far from "forgotten." That's more...
Agree 100%. Not a huge fan of steam, but the early diesels are really fascinating. That whole transition period. It's just not something that's in...
I'd add "Non-US/UK/European" content. Outside of those three, you're basically out of luck. TSC is expanding into every continent (I think... not...
You're right. Guessing it'll layer on there too though. its' that or the 101...which would also work from the NTP.
It does seem like a lot more rain than "average." Not sure if it's weighted for environments (England is a bit rainy) , but I know that in August...
There's a youtube video on it that I followed. It's literally just download to your desktop, unzip the file, and put it in a folder in your game...
That does make sense for why they'd wait to announce it. Get people into the 390 from TSW 5 and then it gives more places to use it.
a) Because it hooks up with the "standard" San Bernadino, for the "route hopping." Otherwise, NEW players wouldn't have any two routes to go...
Ahhhh.... ok
Yup, that's the one. Just a lot of tun and shows the amazing stuff that's possible on TSC. Just so...populated with things to see.
Crewe to Manchester would in theory allow it to link 3 existing routes with route-hopping.... although that could be problematic given the...
Yeah, I'm with ya. The modding and editing isn't for me. Too much work. But I'll gladly enjoy others' hard work! Some great content out there. I...
That's fair too. But I'd still like to see what if anything comes of it. At least the scope is fairly limited. Rail tours and a Class 47 aren't...
Fair enough. What variety of locos are you looking at for rail tours (plural?)
It's not on ALL the routes anyway. Just a select few. Again, we'll see how it shakes out. Seems like it takes more work to have you "stand...
Yeah there's not much we can really do at this point either way. Nothing has been released and no one is asking for any money from me, so.... just...
If you have to stop and look up timetables and stand around on the platform, then it seems less useful than just going to the menu and going back...
On a related note... isn't there one of the routes that has an active football stadium where there's a crowd at least (if not an actual game going on)
I just like that it's more variety of cargo and hopefully opens up more variety of loading/unloading points too because it's not JUST another oil...
Is there a link to the stream? And I wonder why timetables wouldn't synch up if they do in real life. For example, say there's a REAL train...
