Has any enterprising soul taken a rail map of the country and marked which lines are represented by DLC? Would be interesting to see visually what’s covered and what isn’t.
Fun fact about that map: you can grab the URL once you center on a point you want to use for continued research and bookmark that URL. When you load that URL again, you'll start in that part of the map.
http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/train-simulator-2020-tsw_252726#6/51.000/2.000 In my opinion that is the best map out there. It is updated frequently, easy to filter, and can be zoomed all the way in or out. It's fantastic.
I think a post above mine got deleted, but this is the kind of URL I was referring to. That link for instance opens with a view of the UK and more of Europe. Meanwhile, this link shows you a view of some routes in Germany spawning from Hamburg (I included Hamburg-Hanover on the right, and Bremen-Münster on the left, with a random "Hamburg-Bremen" route appearing in between (seems it's an old route, not sure if it's still available or even in English). Fun fact, BTW: from my map, you can go left and find some freeware routes cataloged from the SimTogether site; one is a Rotterdam to Amsterdam route, which I am curious to check out one day, but I think needs the fictional Im Bergland to run it.
Why would the route be in English when it is in Germany? Hamburg - Bremen was quite a good route before the payware routes arrived in the Hamburg area Shame DTG have not filled the gap https://rail-sim.de/forum/filebase/...g-lübeck-hamburg-neumünster-hamburg-ludwigsl/
Yes, that was what I found. What I mean is I wish there was an English version, I'd be curious to check it out.
Interesting that it is missing 2 of G-Trax's routes that got pulled from steam, Portland Terminal, and the Bessimer & Lake Erie Route. Its also missing the Kingwood Branch Line.
I believe it is made by a German dude, which may explain why there is more extensive coverage of freeware (and even payware) DLC in Europe than North America. But I did notice some of those routes missing.
I´m the guy who made the map . The two named route, are they still available? I have found no page to buy them. Generally there can be some few routes missing, thats because I don´t have them and don´t know exactly from where to where they goes. There are also not all freeware routes included that may be available, only the good, interesting etc ones that could be worthwhile . If someone knows further GOOD! and available freeware routes (would be an advantage if videos are available, as e.g.Lets Plays) I can perhaps add them in the map too (for that i need route start and end / from where to where). P.S. if interested: i have also a map for old MSTS routes (but there most only german, switzerland and italian ones) http://u.osmfr.org/m/381535/
Yes. While they got pulled from steam, Gtrax made them available as freeware on Railworks America under different names The Bessemer and Lake Erie is now Pennsylvania Steam. https://railworksamerica.com/index....:pennsylvania-steam&catid=20:route-collection The Portland Terminal route is now Maine Maritime. https://railworksamerica.com/index....ime-switching-route&catid=20:route-collection The B&O Kingwood branch is still available on steam however. https://store.steampowered.com/app/...gwood_Branch_Tunnelton__Kingwood_Route_AddOn/
