Good route 40 mile track. Not to boring. The baby bullet come in handy if you purchase it alone with the other content. Traffic is some what ok I guess. But it not to bad. Get it while it there. Once it gone it gone for good. License issues what uh pit fall. How many of you actually have this particular route vs how many of you don’t. This route actually remind me of the other u.s. route. Wow it gonna be out of the collection pretty soon. Take advantage of this while it there if you don’t have it.
I am thinking about buying it, but question is… will we be able to play to it in TSW6? I understand we will NOT.
It's been £5.99 in every XBOX and Steam sale for the last few years. The wheels on the GP38-2 don't move at all ... So that's one of the many, MANY bugs with this route. Ignore the FOMO voices in your head, and don't pay more than £10.
I bought the whole collection for essentially peanuts in the sale... I've got to say for a route built in 2019, it's incredibly well put together with a variety of stock and a good end to end service. AVL, SB, and LIRR definitely have the upper hand in terms more up to date features... But Peninsula Corridor is actually a good little route for its time. Well worth the money in the sales, along with the accompanying DLC.
and it has quite nice speed limits for a US commuter route... a lot of the time you stay between 60 to 79 mph with decent spacing, so you get quality time driving in decent speeds, which is nice
Peninsula Corridor was promised a remaster back a couple or three years ago. Never happened and now I guess it never will.
Caltrain Switcher hasn't been in the last 2 steam sales, still £11.99 At full price its not worth it, even to never have it.
"As a note, we have unfortunately not been able to secure a Last Chance sales opportunity on Xbox platforms." Microsoft strike again - now there's a shock
Interesting that the wording is "you will be able to continue playing it during the current version of TSW" Does that mean that when TSW6 lands in September we won't be able to play it?
Apparently that must be the case. But the reason is actually pretty clear: Making it available for TSW6 would mean to add a new iteration in form of a separate add on. But because Caltrain doesn’t want people to be able to buy any add ons with their branding, it also means that a new iteration can be published
Also, technically, TSW6 doesn't exist. TSW5 is the game to focus on. DTG won't announce TSW6 early (understandably) which comes at the disadvantage of not knowing how this will affect TSW6. I find it interesting to note that they seem to be working with Caltrain to get Peninsula Corridor back. It looks promising...
Difficult now it's on sale for some platforms and not others. Really the sale should have been uniform across all platforms for all players, or if too short notice to secure discounts for all players, keys for all handed out via support. I'm PS5, but feel sorry for the xbox players missing out again
Do I understand technically correctly that if I delete the DLC from my PS5 after February 27th, I won't be able to install it again? Because I uninstall something quite often and then put it back after a while, because on the PS5 you can't turn off DLC maps under......
Some clarity is needed from DTG as to the status of the Caltrain assets. My understanding is that, if you own them as of 2/27/25, they will remain in your library forever, but playable only in TSW5. I can't speak for PS5, but in Steam you could uninstall and reinstall as often as you like. I would think console players have the same ownership rights.
Well, we're not sure, I'm still downloading it to the PS5 from the PS Store server, I don't know how it works exactly, but if Sony removes it, then that's a question. I'm asking hypothetically, fortunately, I don't own it, but the situation interests me, in the future there may be something else that I need to own.
Caltrain sold off their diesel trains to Lima, Peru so not sure the gov’t agency has reservations about renewing a license to something they no longer own. I’m trying the MP15DC switcher and the graph that depicts acceleration (blue) and deceleration (orange) is backwards when the reverser is in reverse (accreditation is orange and braking is blue). Doubt that’ll ever get fixed but I hold that opinion for any bug I’ve reported since none have ever been fixed over the years.
Caltrain still retains their MP36 fleet, 3 MPI rebuilt F40s, and the Bombadier Bi Levels for San Jose to Gilroy service, as the tracks aren't electrified past Tamien station. The MP15s are kept as well.
The map (at least in MP15DC scenarios) tends to get stuck in TSW5 on PS5, whereby the map won’t scroll around nor can you exit from the map. Toggling the labels once or twice seems to be a way to allow the map to be exited.
The article DTG have posted suggests people that don't have TSW5 yet but own the route/locos should claim the free copies for if they get TSW5 in the future, so no reason to think we won't be able to redownload them in the future. Lots of games get delisted from sale on assorted storefronts and they are nearly always redownloadable.
Yes I just spotted that too. Sounds a bit ominous though they could just be covering all the bases. Assuming TSW6 is coming and most of us update, not going to keep 5 hanging around just for one rarely played route.
I imagine it has something to do with upgrading on consoles (PlayStation at least), as the versions for other TSW games are not claimed automatically so you need to manually go through the ones marked as 'free'. These probably won't be there, but I'm willing to believe that DTG would give codes for people who forget to do it before the 27th.
I was flirting with the idea of the Caltrain SF-Gilroy route for Train Simulator Classic but it really is showing its age now.
If you were considering it I'd recommend getting it. If you change your mind later on, you will have missed out.
