The passengers open the doors, and there's no safety mechanism? Wow. Sounds very Darwin-friendly.

Pretty sure I've seen that on trains in California also, where there are many military bases.

I'm pretty sure I remember that from TSW2.

Different games, different needs, different techniques. Matt's gone into great detail on the specific challenges TSW presents and the reasons.

Not just that, but "agrees with the developer"? I do not remember the developer saying that TSW doesn't belong on the consoles that reportedly...

Say what?

There's always optimization that can be done, but consoles also come with hard limits. At some point, it's like bringing a 12 oz. reusable mug...

Kindly don't put words in my mouth. That's no more honest than, say, assuming numbers and using that as proof. My own opinion is in the half...

Looks to me like paying the same for less rather than ...which was my point. There was another claim made that 600 is "almost half" of 1000,...

Curious about this math where (=) = (>).

FWIW, using a PC doesn't preclude using either a TV or a controller. My TV is my monitor, and I do use a controller for a few Steam games, which...

Since Matt said that this route is an order of magnitude more complex than anything they've done before, I'm inclined to think of it as an...

Hardened you up for a career on the railroads, though, right?

Looking forward to Nintendo setting the pace by putting a prominent note on every trimmed-down Switch game in their store that there's a more...

Half empty: Only PC users get to enjoy the full timetable, while consoles are being docked 40% of the timetable through no fault of their own,...

Understood, thanks for the reply!

Still holding out for Clinchfield myself. Maybe with Liam finished on GWE, Matt can shanghai him into helping out? :)

I had thought that when the editor was made available to the public, it would be the same editor as used internally. Are you able to explain why...

Thing is, it's anything but a simple game, and the line between what more optimization can achieve and what console limitations mean cannot be...

Not quite the same. Scaling the game down for consoles is quite a bit of extra work (and cost) for DTG.

Regarding consoles, it's a significant difference that gen 9 has been well established, and what was developed for PC and gen 9 was becoming too...

Does a single instance of downscaling for gen 9 after 120 DLCs count as a trend?

Just a guess, but given that routes are developed for PC first and then adapted to consoles, it seems likely that DTG had no way of knowing this...

If I see something priced the same number of dollars and yen, then I'll have a problem.

True about the nesting. I thought the restriction of DLCs not having DLCs was a prohibition by one of the platforms. Or was it something a third...

I imagine the considerable funding that would be needed to develop Sodor would depend both on the success of these and whether there's reason to...

Chicago's Union Station opened 100 years ago this month. [ATTACH] Photo from the Chicago Tribune

I dunno, it's better than "This is how it turned out and we have no plans to look at it further", isn't it? :) Not if they offer it free again....

Switch games have to be scaled down compared to the PC, PS, and XB versions, but still sell for $59.99.

"Optimization" is one of the current buzzwords du jour being parroted in complaints, but only the people with access to the source code, which is...

Just FYI, Matt did post in another thread early this morning (before all the forum posts claiming silence, btw):

Giant transforming train robots actually exist?! Holy bleep! What are they called and where can they be had?

But then that would be a weaker system holding the game back, wouldn't it? Which, as has been repeatedly stressed, is the opposite of how DTG...

I thought Lukas had left DTG entirely to take on his role at TSG.

That would be a day one!

Also, updating TSW2 with even small point upgrades to the UE4 engine caused significant headaches for everybody, and UE5 is still being actively...

Fourth Annual Pullman Railroad Days on May 17-18 https://www.choosechicago.com/event/fourth-annual-pullman-railroad-days/2025-05-17/

It's funny how a small rail car managed to develop such character and personality, isn't it? Yeah, I'm old enough, too. I had a laugh the...

Not true. Most freight trains will have a variety of cars, but trains consisting entirely of tankers or coal cars, for example, aren't terribly...

?? Seven months in with (theoretically) five months to go is 3/4?

Zooming in, you're absolutely right. The flatbed cars are there, just empty. Note to make eye doctor appt.

A few more: The seller doesn't know what sells. The telemetry that shows what people are playing doesn't actually show what people are playing. To...

Might be a licensor thing; some (most?) want their trains pristine. Hear, hear! Have HIS said what kind of max train length they're working...

For some reason, I thought I had already posted a thank you to the posters who have replied, but apparently I hadn't. So thank you! I'm enjoying...

As far as train length, SPG was the very first route created for the game (it wasn't even called Train Sim World then) back in 2017, and that was...

Unless it was never in TSW5 in the first place. Do you know for sure that it was?

I think this may be key. I don't think it's fair for people to second-guess DTG's choice of UE years ago based on hindsight from the present, and...

Couple of reminders: DTG's own implementation of UE4 is heavily modified to suit TSW's needs, including (I believe has been said) some UE5...

1 1/2 :) People have been pretty well behaved here overall, probably because nobody wants to be responsible for this thread being closed. There...

Last I heard from DTG, all DLCs have to be recooked to work with the new TSW versions. It's been a while, so maybe that's changed with the most...
