Is it because the learning curve for UE is so steep or is it because the TSW editor is hard to work with that the development time for 3rd parties...

Yes, we felt we had to pay the ( admittedly nominal ) $3.26 per month, because neither the wife nor I can bear to watch any TV that includes ads....

Another reason I can't do it. Anyone who knows me knows I can't keep my big mouth shut. I'd almost certainly be looking at " the drop " in a very...

:D:D

Believe me, once you've been playing at 1440p for a while, you won't notice that much degradation, if any, from 4k. I'm actually surprised you...

Graphics cards do not age gracefully. I have an RTX 3080 10 GB from late 2021 and, although it can still do OK with TSW at 4k I've dropped down...

A bit worrying, but I'm so used to the terrible night lighting on many TSW routes that I usually stick to daylight driving. Also, as you say, it...

Not for me. Could never sign an NDA. Besides, I don't have the time. And I'm not sure TSW beta testers carry that much weight, given the number of...

I'm pretty much persuaded to buy the Frankfurt S Bahn. It looks well made ( I assume TSG or somebody must have helped to some extent ) and I like...

Should note that my understanding is that the Steam sale that has usually been in late November has been moved up to late September. So the major...

I'll take a complete bloodwork and stress test on the side. :D

I might be fantasizing a bit, but, if you take a look at British Rail menus from the 1970's, I'm not that wildly far off.

I can run the game comfortably at 4k ( 3840x2160 ) but fps is capped at 60. So I prefer to run at 3440 x 1440 with unlimited fps. As far as...

Easier said than done. Besides I need the PC in the office for other things and the laptop doesn't have the specs.

I have to agree. Basically a Zwollen- Groningen type route, straight and flat with just a few stations. Would be somewhat more engaging if you...

PC only ( with Raildriver ). Toyed with the idea of getting a PS5 just so I can play on the sofa with a big screen, but I might have problems...

Breakfast: croissants and cafe au lait. Lunch: wild pheasant sandwich on toasted brioche with cherry sauce. Potatoes a la viennese Roasted...

The ( now discontinued ) 1650 is still a very popular card and runs all but the most exacting AAA games well at 1440 and 1080. It's only real...

Well, DTG is quite willing to use unbranded stock in TSW ( see WCMLS). They also used unbranded MARC stock in Baltimore-Washington on TSC.

I fear that you may be correct. We may be looking at the end of an era. And to think that TSW launched with a US route. But there's no room for...

I'm not convinced that this is an accurate measure of popularity. The numbers are so small that you really can't draw any conclusions from them....

I don't know about UK regs, but over here, only service dogs are allowed on trains and owners don't want you to pet them. ;)

Including the green dinosaurs?

I do remember this scenario, in 2 parts I think. And my record shows that I did complete both parts. Unfortunately it was so long ago that I can't...

Seems to be a pattern with successive iterations of TSW. No doubt we'll see few if any changes to the current version before it's swept away by...

There's so much rail traffic around Chicago, it's almost criminal that DTG has ignored it to this point. Who needs Metra when you have UP, BNSF...

Well I think a lot of people believe, rightly or not, that " optimization " has only become a thing with DTG after a reduction in the console...

I suspect, after this route, you won't see anything quite as complex for a very long time. I think MP implied this in an earlier post. On the...

I understand that, due to memory constraints, there will be two levels of food in the buffet car. The full version ( for PC only ) will include a...

Also picked this up in the just- ended sale, partly because I've had my eye on it for a while and the price was good and partly because it adds to...

Just a question. I have everything except Bremen-Oldenburg. What will I be missing?

Then I guess we're doomed to endure an endless series of electric bus stop routes, and forget about steam traction and US freight. At least from...

As a measure of the overall unhappiness with " Thomas ", that's pretty meaningless.

I've long wondered about the exchange rate used for pricing for US players. It seems we are often charged more than the official rate would suggest.

I hope this is sarcasm. Clearly all is not good. And who are " we "?

Actually that statement might persuade me to buy this route because: a) I enjoy complexity and it's been sadly lacking in TSW since Rush Hour. b)...

Haven't seen any " clippies " yet. ;) . Maybe I'm on the wrong route?

Or matching hairstyles! Actually close up they look a little Neanderthal ( except for the sneakers ).

That's what I have and personally I consider it to be the minimum amount of RAM needed for gaming with high settings. When I replace my current...

From what little DTG is saying and the curtailing of the console content, it seems ( as others have suggested) that DTG is biting off more than it...

If that's true and I'm not saying it isn't, holding down 3 jobs, I wonder if the poor fella has time to eat and sleep. ;)

Pointless getting into it with that poster. He'll just type you to death. And I agree with you. DTG is being neither transparent nor customer-...

If this is true it is a risky move and may be a serious mistake. I would guess that there are still substantial numbers of players using the gen8...

I'd be interested to know if anyone can run TSW5 on DTG's minimum specs, which include a GTX 750 ti, a card I haven't owned since 2015. And 8GB of...

I agree. It's very scenic and, if set back to BR days, would be reasonably busy and diverse ( and loco hauled ). Probably day 1 for me.

In fairness, I think DTG has been and is actively exploring the use of UE5 and has actually used elements of it in their coding.

Is it fair to say that DTG has abandoned the US/Canadian freight arena as far as in-house route making is concerned? Do you talk to railroads...

Yes and even the follow-up in the forum manages to avoid any awkward questions.

Never really understood this argument. So what if there are limited real life services. Most routes come with an endless number of very repetitive...

Yes, funny isn't it. I have heavy freight trains go by at a nearby grade crossing a couple times a day and sometimes the locos are so dirty it's...
