On the other side, I would have despised a riviera line set in an Earlier era. Would not have played it as much for sure. So its really hard to please every one.
You don't need to censor the word "Class" I'd never played the original route, so it was basically all new to me.
I heard they are calling it the @ss 90 on tiktok and adding the "Cl" so it blends in. Kids nowadays. Is that high res texture pack presumably hosted by a third party supposedly for free on a commercial product out yet?
Not sure why. There was far more infrastructure, at Exeter and Newton Abbot in particular. Up until the mid 80's most of the route was manually signalled with semaphores. A rich variety of traction, all of which took a bit of thought to drive and didn't easily cope with the gradients. Oh and made a rather nice racket in the process. Summer Saturday's saw trains running block on block along the sea wall, particularly once a bit of lateness crept in.
I have had posts that I was unable to edit previously without a mod checking it first for possible offensive content. I went through the post with a fine tooth comb and found nothing questionable and concluded that the censor bot didn't like the last three letters of that harmless "C" word. A while later the post was opened up for editing presumably after a mod cleared the content as OK. Oh and by the way Ducky I am probably old enough to be your dad and never use TikTok LOL. These Dovetail Direct presentations are released into the public domain and as such people are entitled to have opinions on it. I have just stated my honest impressions about the presentation style that has been adopted and make no apologies for it. If they start using a more level headed adult style that is less dizzy with back slapping "enthusiasm" I would definitely review it more favourably.
This I have to agree with, particularly as touched on previously, when negotiating with senior managers at rail and infrastructure operators to get the necessary permissions and licences. If they see some of the presentation styles, it's no wonder they think that's not a professional, responsible organisation and want nothing to do with it. A bit of humour is fine but if I was the Safety Director at MTA or somewhere doing a bit of fact finding and pulled up some of the past streams, well 'nuff said.
Honestly no idea about the texture upgrade partly because I'm on console and partly because I didn't buy the 90
I can't stand older traction. I love MML bur can't return too often because I really don't like the HSTs. Im just in awe of modern traction. Again that's just my opinion. I'm.happy for those that do enjoy those older style routes, and the JT content looks amazing but it's just not for me.
Agreed. Leipzig-Dresden and Frankfurt-Fulda are only two decent modern German routes in the game. I don´t return to any of the others at this point. Some of German scene has returned to TSC, because there is much more German content there. Same goes for the Dutch.
That’s my personal opinion, and I simply have to agree with ivor on this. These Dovetail Direct events have always been a bit cringe-worthy, and you get the feeling it’s like a bunch of children in a nursery left unsupervised. Or if I want to see two clowns behaving like that, I usually go to the circus. Except that in the circus it’s appropriate, whereas in a Dovetail Direct where you’re trying to promote a new product, it’s just laughable in my eyes.
I'm the same older and US freight are my lowest played routes all of them are level 9 or lower in my stats. And its not like I haven't given them a shot I do own TVL, NTP, WCL, BPO, Preston to Carlisle, SOS, Peak Valley, Linke Rhein, HSC, SPG, Sherman Hill, CJP, and Clinchfield. All the modern passenger routes I own are over Level 25. But I know I'm an odd duck so I get why others prefer it the other way as well and wouldn't say there is no market for it.
They treat it like its as big as a Marvel Panel at D23 or SDCC. I hope they have the fancy overlays and cut sequences again.
