This is quite literally the worst I've seen TOD4 lighting. Still struggling to see how it in any way makes the game world look "more realistic"....
I vaguely remember last year when they added that pause menu update with the gradient profile, it was said that querying the track gradient is too...
I'd like to see some long flat routes that are 50+mph just to vary it up. Mountain routes can be fun but the slow speeds get old really quick. (I...
Can we seriously do something about the lighting and everything be wayyyy overexposed. The PZB lights are flashing here (restricted monitoring)...
I agree that's my one disappointment with the mini hud. I view the hud as my "PTC screen" keeping track of the information a real engineer/driver...
That's garbage reasoning. It effectively translates to "we can't effectively communicate so we're removing a basic purchase option" I have a...
While $50 USD is a good deal for 3 routes (or $70 for the deluxe version), the base game (core) is not the same as the three routes. They are...
Just a massive disappointment. But at least they're being completely transparent this time about TSW3 going obsolete shortly after launch instead...
Its not really about wanting to get the next big thing for free, or even interest in new DLC/features of the next iteration, IMO. This is the way...
Couple new things: - Ctrl++ / Ctrl+- should work for all units in a train, regardless of length. - Since the above fails on long trains, all...
Anything that increases variety is always welcome IMO. I have seen videos of foreign power leading trains. A search I just did on youtube for...
The lines in the nose and through the battery box probably could be "faked" with some clever artwork, but it would require a model change for the...
Couple takeaways from that video: - They could've taken the opportunity to have the lead cab set up correctly and already cut-in, matching real...
re safety systems, off the top of my head: ensuring that the acknowledge button on keyboard is single press, especially for PZB (*screams in...
Yea I agree here. There were quite a few good improvements to the route, but (ignoring my other issues with TOD4) it really was an apparent rush...
WHY do we keep getting new features for the game that are completely dropped in the next release? It makes zero sense. There's no consistency from...
In the future, can y'all just be more transparent about reasons for things. Don't just say "it's not the full timetable" and then move onto the...
It's almost like they only did this route for Amtrak and someone suggested they throw in NJT later because they had the license, adds a bit of...
"Sorry, the cab car has no controls, just a folding chair for you to sit while the AI drives. We ran out of time" (sarcasm) I don't know, this...
That's a plausible theory, and to some extent is how software works. You don't really know if something works well until its distributed. The...
So, 289 playable services, but how many additional AI non-playable? Either way, we're talking about a timetable here that is a fraction of what we...
Really is just sad. Honestly was keeping my expectations low anyway, not only does US content always draw the short stick, but with the recent...
I'm not all that familiar with NJT but I do have memories of visiting my grandmother as a kid, and hearing the multitude of NJT train horn...
I don't think they're undriveable without the HUD. Granted, I usually drive TSW with the HUD. The only thing PTC would give you is information on...
I'll add on some thoughts to the US freight stuff too: First, re Matt's comment on the air flow modeling issue: I posted this in my TSW3 feedback...
Super late to the game here, but after purchasing TSW3 in the winter sale I'd like to share my (late) thoughts on TSW3. There's been quite a few...
One of the things that's really bothered me is DTG didn't even bother trying to "stabilize" TSW2, draw a line, and then go that's it its TSW3 now....
I know Harlem has had this issue since release (and where I remember it starting). For some reason the timetable spaces out towards the end and...
With all due respect... I really hate the "audio isn't a game breaking bug so it gets lower prioritization" statement. This is the reason audio in...
As one of the skeptics of TSW3 (and still am), I don't think TSW3 has flopped, but from some of the issues raised in this forum section, TSW3 was...
I do have to say the evening sky and scenery looked really good. And it looks like the headlights are a little brighter than before - though still...
I'm gonna continue with TSW2 for a while, though I don't play the game like I used to (ongoing trend pretty much since TSW2 though). Most of the...
3D virtual worlds don't have a concept of lighting and is "faked" using different techniques, so the default state is for everything to be lit...
It won't. It'll be like any other we already have with DTG shortcuts taken anywhere they can, you can cut the air in on the screen, use a distance...
Maybe that's why I tend to really like 100% cloud cover in game (no rain b/c I don't like how rain suddenly got ridiculously loud in TSW2). But if...
I haven't watched the stream yet but if that first screenshot is what we can expect, just wow... I'm not really into messing with .ini tweaks, but...
The engineering team are the ones who directly look after the code base of the game engine - thus are the ones responsible for providing a build...
I had the same question watching yesterday too. But I think given Matt's statement of essentially "even if you're somebody who never plays...
1- Can we get a little more of a technical explanation of why a new game edition was needed. It's been stated that it was to allow training center...
I'm not expecting an answer to be honest. Obviously I'm not looking for super specifics that are probably insider secrets, but it'd be nice if a...
I'd personally like a technical explanation of what went on in the core engine that required so much it warranted a bump in game version. From...
Off topic to the save feature, but this is interesting... A while ago in one of the "state of the game Q&A" streams, DTGs theory on the studdering...
Absolutely not. I'm on the fence with TSW3 right now, and considering the issues I found with the GEVO on Cajon, and the other issues that came to...
A couple of things stand out to me with the quality of the ES44C4 coming with Cajon pass. First the audio: Prime Mover GEVO-12 audio: I hope...
What I got from the stream, which was much better worded than what was written, is that Adam's team will primarily shift focus toward expanding...
I just used the save game to complete a SPG run in two separate go's. It worked perfectly fine and I don't think I've ever had a problem with SPG...
[ATTACH] Couple questions here: 1- But where are you getting the ES44 sounds from? "We were very fortunate to have recordings..." is very...
Not to start another "open letter" thread and steal the idea, but I really didn't want this getting buried in the swarm of posts coming in right...
I find it odd that DTG chose the highest end GPUs currently available as the "recommended specs". When I saw that I got real scared about the...
Question: With the new lighting system, will US headlights finally be fixed so that they light up the track ahead realistically or are we still...
Separate names with a comma.
