As the wife got me some Steam Wallet credit for Christmas, got this along with Fife Circle (only because the latter is on sale!). Couple of...
Yes because if recreating a Thomas Day, should simply be a suitable loco dressed up, as the preserved railways do, not the actual model itself...
Which ties in with what myself and others have said. Have absolutely no objection to DTG doing a TTTE add on but it should be outwith the main TSW...
Sound is poor with a distinctive loop. Also levels incorrect, very quiet in cab but passing trains will blow out your speakers as they go by.
There's also procedures in place for the S&T to transfer tokens between machines or where there is an imbalance of services (not an issue on the...
Don't forget the questionable aka simplified steam physics...
And again today… [ATTACH]
Sadly there has been no indication from DTG that Thomas is other than a money making gimmick and that any grown up return to steam traction in TSW...
A cut down version could be based on the geography of the Isle Of Arran, or even Portland in Dorset as used for Project Platform in TSC. Actually...
Well while it’s good to see Trainz expanding, prepare for disappointment if you think it will be anywhere near as good an experience as TSW or...
Think it’s time we brought the all important (Off)Topic topic of Brussels Sprouts into this thread… How many sprouts would Thomas need in the...
There was no official statement per se. The EP ((Matt P) eventually chimed in on a now buried thread discussing the demise of steam to confirm it...
Really depends which approach DTG are using, I guess. Though personally I would prefer to see a Jinty as it has more application on the existing...
I thought we did have someone claiming to be a 350 driver on here a while back. I searched in vain for information on line, but most is hidden...
I keep contemplating that but the problem then is the layering, particularly German routes where everything seems fiendishly inter woven. Even...
I did ask the question on one of the UK railway FB groups but never got an answer.
Just watch Return To Paradise on BBC! Though a small town that seems to have a murder every week, seems less than idyllic. On the other hand the...
To all intents and purposes for train simming, it is. I did once do an Aussie style route in TSC, don’t think it works anymore with all the core...
I do! Had six on the plate with the roast beef yesterday. Well it saves on bubble bath later… :o:o
Open TSW. Look at list. Close TSW. Play ETS2/TSC/Simrail minstead! Seriously it does get hard to choose and one reason I’m no longer blindly...
You still need people who are willing and capable to build the routes. You still need custom foliage (gum trees etc.) making from scratch along...
Basically what I said earlier. And as much of the Aussie content in terms of locos and multiple units goes back to the TRS2004 or TRS2006, ages...
Unlike the TSC editor - which itself was pretty much abandoned by DTG's predecessor incarnations at an early stage - my limited experience of the...
So far as US freight is concerned, there are the known licensing and access problems. Plus anyone serious about it is going to have Run 8...
Okay, like it or not Thomas The Tank Engine is coming to TSW and the pros and cons are being debated ad infinitum in the main forum area. So...
That’s interesting. Would seem the Trainz stuff, admittedly most of which is freeware including that massive modular NSW route, has just...
Wonder if they have given much thought to the attention span of the intended audience... Are they really going to be content with spending 80...
Or imagine if the reveal had been they were bringing the Ffestiniog Railway to TSW. A gift that would have kept on giving and for all ages too…
Loads of scope for an Australian route, many sections of the NSW Main Line such as Moos Vale to Goulburn with branches would be a good place to...
Semmering gone on the back burner for now as it turned out I could pick up Greece for £7.99 courtesy of the Balkan bundle. So ETS2 having a...
Wonder if Thomas will get his own “junior” sub forum once the content goes live? (Whenever that might actually be). For one thing, and maybe this...
It also seems impossible to have a reasonable debate on the issue, as I just found over on Facebook. White knights not prepared to accept there...
Flogging a dead horse comes to mind…
Don’t even think to post anything remotely negative over on the TSW Facebook page, as the white knights are out in force over there…
It will be unrealistic though if it uses toy train physics. It’s just DTG being cheap and cutting corners, rather than going to the trouble of...
True.
Class 26 would be a Day One purchase for me. Problem is, whoever makes up could be struggling for a route to base it on. Western Lines Of...
All the more reason why it should get its own custom fictional route and not be given house space on one of the real world ones.
Jon Voight in Runaway Train. Well at least then we would get an Alaska route! Or Snowpiercer of course, I mean they have worked with Sean Bean in...
Strange thing is, as a youngster I don’t really remember being made aware of Thomas. Ivor The Engine, yes. Noddy and the Toyland railway, yes....
As I said in another thread, Harry Potter could potentially give a GWR Hall for the real game. Also interesting how DTG would condense the...
It will be something like Trainz DCC mode where essentially you turn the controller as a model railway transformer with just a slight bit of inertia.
And the sound and physics seem pretty poor too. Oh and I got stuck on the tutorial. Came to an abrupt stand, no brakes applied. After a bit of...
A well done Russian route would be quite popular, particularly if it featured some of those noisy smoky diesels! And North Korea actually looks...
And a meaningless one at that!
Still not enough discount to tempt me at 30% off. Even with the current sale incentive, Steam DB still only shows 53 players in game. TSW5 - in...
The news of Thomas has created a weird alternative reality for some it seems!
Glad someone went through. Kind of proves how pointless the Suggestions area is really. Suspect I mentioned Yugoslavian steam narrow gauge more...
So… Is this worth getting in the sale or should I spend my Xmas Steam Wallet credit on the Greece DLC for ETS2?
↑ I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they restrict use of Thomas to just the WSR. ↑ The characters can be driven on any route Add-on using Free...
