Yeah, I'm gonna bury myself deep into Railroader and Railroads Online. Unofficial VR gave some new life to TSW, but these guys can't even be...
That's going to be most people that develop with the fidelity that he does. When you include every nut and bolt into a project, it's a labor of...
I kinda agree, but after seeing the region in-person, they did do a decent job of representing what it really looks like there. Ironically, when I...
As a North American fan, I'd always groan if I heard DTG was doing anything with steam (Wasatch grade, for instance) as it would always be some...
And the wizard strikes again! Thanks, that worked great! Now I can run a train over Cajon in the rain while drinking some warm coffee, enjoying...
I used to work at and still have access to a shortline switching railroad. We use(d) an SW1200, GP8 (GP7 Paducah rebuild for Alaska), SD40-2,...
Tried it again last night on openXR, dropped my resolution to 80%, got a consistent 30-40 fps (capped at 40). Aside from newer routes having...
Yeah, kept to around 30 fps. But I want to stress that I haven't had much time to play with settings and tweak them, this is all absolutely...
Just tried openXR, it is more streamlined to use, but it dropped my average frame rate from 30 fps to 24, with some dips below 20. I normally run...
Good idea; if they backdated it to the BN E9 days, they could use the BNSF licenses...
No clue, didn't know that. I'll have to try that Sunday night.
Each of those has Amtrak state-sponsored services running on them. Obviously each freight railroad runs with their freight locos, but each of...
asm.transitdocs.com If passenger service is such a requirement, why not do one of the Amtrak corridor services out of Chicago? BNSF runs to...
Just tried this out last night on my Valve Index. Not perfect, but it adds a whole new dimension of realism I've been craving for years. Derail...

Because that would involve even minimal effort on behalf of DTG. I'll just keep my Workshop version of the ACe and save myself the $15.
One of my constant gripes with this push towards the NEC/New York stuff is that the only Amtrak equipment in TSW is electric. Despite Amtrak...
Between New York - Trenton, NEC: New York, Harlem Line, and LIRR, I'm counting four electric routes based in New York. Add Boston Sprinter, a...
Another day, another electric NEC route announced. And yet another hard pass from me. What I would give for a 1950's route in the Heartlands......
Born in the early 1990's, played a bit of A-Train, played a lot of Railroad Tycoon 2. My first actual sim was Microsoft Train Simulator. Stuck...
And that's fine. For realism, I play Run 8, and for fun, I play DV. My main point is that DV still shows a pulse from the developers, who could...
So Derail Valley, with a team of (I think) 4 people, just went thru a massive update, turning the entire game into a brand new entity. For free....
Really enjoying the Q&A stream right now; Col. Failure is doing a good job of keeping Matt on for absolute "yes/no" answers and exact (-ish)...
I really doubt DTG would be able to give a binding word on that one. But if they do it one year, they'll probably do it the next.
For owners of TSW1, is this a free upgrade, or is a new purchase to TSW2? Kind of neat, but if it's a purchase, I'll pass. I've seen enough of...
Glad you're optimistic. Calling it now that it's a new UK route, to restart the cycle. UK Route -> US Route -> DE Route -> 3 Locos (UK, US, DE),...
Wow, that is WAY different than what I'm used to. At the shortline I was at, we'd typically be in reverse for about 50% of the day. If there were...
Shoot, the last time they went to Canada, they didn't even leave Toronto.
Yeah. "Everything's fine, don't worry!" And then they shut it down.
I bought it day one, on the knowledge that there will be an editor.
!RemindMe 2 years Bet you you're wrong; we'll be asking about the editor in four years' time.
With all this talk of the lack of updates, bug fixes, and poor visuals, at least Derail Valley is getting a new update next week. At least they're...
Maybe. Unreal just released a trailer showing off their new Unreal Engine 5. If someone made a train sim in that, they'd likely take the entire...
I'm playing the heck out of Open Rails and Run8, as I can find more variety and better physics than anything in TSW. The graphics are pretty, but...
For those requesting/denying steam: There's a guy on Reddit that is building a steam loco game (action, but with some sim elements) in Unreal 4:...
Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Are they able to monitor your home computer, or are they just checking for progress? The difference is one has TSW running on one monitor and...
I've been rather disappointed by the lack of this, especially because it would be relatively easy to do. Press "E" between just-coupled cars, and...
Already had that on TS1, except they called it Trains vs Zombies. :D Edit: Actually had some ideas: "Switch out this boxcar full of toilet...
Thoughts from the stream: Yay: 3 scenarios, and 11 free-roam scenarios with the MP15DC. That's way more than the SW1000R. Boo: Engine sounds are...
I think I remember that too. It might have been in the December 2018 live stream?
I can't recall how loud they are in TSW on some routes, but I feel like they've been done right in CSX:HH. In the real world, if you're not within...
Asking for DTG to extend a route and then not charge for it is rather counterintuitive to their entire business strategy thus far. Would make...
Looked into Diesel Railcar Simulator, apparently they have a randomized service setup. You might be on a 10:00 train, but the higher-priority...
The MP15 releases on March 19th, according to the Steam Store page:...
Basically, the equivalent of Quick Drive in TS1. Pick your train, pick your starting location, pick your time and weather. In the years since...
Hehehe After we picked up some CP locos secondhand, the only thing I found as a difference between their SW1200's and ours was that the PCS...
Well, North American. Close enough. Same equipment, same gauge, generally the same operating rules. Looking forward to seeing the MP15, but I'll...
Or that you turned on the lights 10 times.
Man, that's hard to answer. I was at Georgetown Loop last June, and Cumbres & Toltec in June 2018. Before that, the last "museum" I'd been to was...
