    Well if they are done, I fail to see why DTG can’t just give the project to the community Modders to work on it instead, yea it’s probably not that simple but still would be better than what’s currently happening

    Definitely think the community would appreciate having this addon taken over but I doubt DTG will allow it, but maybe it’s worth asking at some point or hell have the community form a new third party to fix/ make the stuff they keep refusing to do themselves

    The class 47 model itself belongs to DTG, but Just Trains modified it for Blackpool Branches.

    Athena took the Just Trains modified DTG class 47 and completely broke it... so you would have to get permission from DTG, Athena and Just Trains before modding it.

    It would be easier to make a completely new class 47 model from scratch, than waste time trying to fix this botched Frankenstein.

    To be honest we never needed a another class 47, on the other hand the class 40 and class 45 are in desperate need of a upgrade and it makes it easier knowing DTG has the original rights to the locos

    Their site says they're currently in pre-production of an Alien VS Predator game (why you'd announce a game this early when all you have is concept art and ideas is beyond me but whatever) so I wouldn't be surprised if they've given up on TSW. It might even be for the best given Mr Whittaker's history of promising the world and abandoning it.

    I wondered why I was dreaming about Alien facehuggers last night!

    In the immortal words of Private Hudson (played by the late and much lamented Bill Paxton) in Aliens, "Game over man, game over..."

    Or another memorable one liner from that one of the greatest movies of all time, "They mostly come at night, mostly..."

    As regards AvP, first movie was excellent, second was a load of old tosh.

    Hudson: Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?
    Vasquez: No, have you?

    For context, Arthur Daley is one of the main characters in a UK series called 'Minder' who is a charming conman and car dealer.

    Yeah. There's quite a lot of that on the forum. Some of it I get, but a lot of it I don't.

    Sometimes I look them up. That's how I deciphered " killed off in Corrie " . Who knew? But Google did.

    There’s a new AvP game in development, since when? That’s music to my ears. The only Alien game that I heard about and currently waiting to buy is Alien Rogue Incursion.

    I remember having fond memories playing this on the 360, they don’t make games like that anymore. Too fucused on flooding them micro transactions and P2W features.

    Where does it say that? The website has an announcement for a game called Project Xeno, but there's not much detail about it and nowhere does it say it's a licensed Alien vs Predator game.

    Xeno as in Xenomorph? Best Alien game I played was Alien Trilogy on the PS1. Atmospheric soundtrack, genuinely creepy moments and some tough puzzles to figure out.

    Thats because it is not licensed. Lets be honest with Jane in charge it is unlikely to ever be released.

    The reason there is no info is becaise there is no info to give yet and this is from Athena's website. And I added the wrong link.

    It's also on Jane's Linkedin page, I personally don't believe it will see the light of day
