Upcoming Release Something Old, Something Blue...

I assume it is a bug. In the trailer you can actually see that the cars behind the 155 (when shot from above) are lid by the backward facing lights.

 

I copped that when the trailer first came out too.

Looks like this DLC will launch with a headlight bug, which in fairness really should not be happening.

 

The recent loco pack released with both the Dispolok BR182 and Santa Fe F7 having no headlights on in any AI services, so it will be interesting to see if the headlights are set correctly in this route. And if anyone from DTG reading this can get those aforementioned locos fixed, that would be appreciated, save me doing a bug report.

 

Why do we get AI headlight issues with almost every DLC release? Surely after the 1st, 2nd, or maybe even 3rd time it happened, DTG should make it a point of focus. It's not game breaking per sé, but Jesus how does it keep happening again and again and nobody thinks to check it?

 

Same with trees too close to the track or PIS.... but seems to be asked too much

 

Not really. I still can’t install the route on my PS5 (with all the layers active) without deleting other stuff. There are still obvious issues on the route that may never get fixed given DTG’s track record to date.

 

Which is exactly why I quibble at paying £30. If the route is releasing with known issues or imperfections, that may never get fixed, the price needs to reflect that.

 

I also found it took a long long long time for the crossing gates to open after a train passed. If I was a driver in one of those cars, torture.

 

How big is Pressnitztalbahn in reality? I can see that they have a lot of locos, both old and new, but Pressnitztalbahn itself is a heritage line... So the company is running both steam trains on their own railway and freight traffic on DB-network?

 

That is in fact fairly prototypical. I've spent some long, long hours waiting at some of those gates and they're a pretty serious problem in Oldenburg because there aren't that many grade separations.

 

Thanks for telling us your birthday. *Rolls eyes*. For your own safety I recommend you delete that post chiefbeef#7841

 

Oh okay sorry for my excitement , also thank you

 

TSW3 released on my birthday (6 september) so I win :P

 

Pretty much. In a nutshell, the Pressnitztalbahn society, founded to rebuild the former railway of the same name as a heritage line, wanted to have job opportunities for enthusiasts looking into making trains their job and thus founded the Pressnitztalbahn private rail company, which operates normal trains on the national network amongst some other niche things. So, from a legal perspective, I believe they're separate entities with the latter often providing services for the former.

 

Schade das mann das edd on nicht vorbestellen kann so das mann es zwe tage führer kaufen und spielen kann

 

It is a railway infrastructure and transport company founded in 2000, which provides construction train, logistics and freight train services. It also operates a narrow-gauge railway on the island of Rügen (Rasender Roland) and one in Saxony. Special trips with historical trains are also offered. With around 240 employees, it is a much smaller competitor than DB, but it stands out with its blue locomotives. They also have their own workshop for train maintenance. There are a total of 75 locomotives and over 450 wagons, from historic steam locomotives to modern Vectrons.

 

... and they've got 140s

I know I'm getting greedy seeing how we're getting the Br 110, but a PRESS Br 140 would make for a fine addition to TSW

 

The whole pre-electronic era could be awesome

 

Yes, absolutely. To start with a 103.

 

...the Pressnitztalbahn even owns some former n-wagons, which were even used on special trains with their BR110! Hopefully we'll get the license release for CC at some point, so that more Pressnitztalbahn stuff can be shared.

 

Ah, wouldn't it just.
I have this recurring dream ( nightmare ) that TSW is headed towards a completely electric future, at least in Germany and the UK. And maybe the US.

Oh, wait. Aren't we already there?

 

I mean the logo is literally a standard pictogram issued by the German state in some form and is therefore royalty free. I think it's used for road signs. There's probably a trademark on the box around it and the "PRESS" letters though.

Hold it, hold it, hold it- when were n-Wagen ever chrome green?

 

I guess reverting them to their original finish was too difficult. Although I believe CFL got some coaches based on the N-Wagen and those were green.

 

There were some n-Wagen, that were green originally.
The CFL-coaches, based on the n-Wagen were originally all green, and later green-cream.

For historic coaches, it is easier and cheaper, to paint them green, than put them back in the unpainted silver state, and they also look better in a consist. (A lot of historic n-Wagen are actually ex-CFL, not DB, as DB did not want to sell n-Wagen, as they feared competing companies could get them).

 

Not doing first week or preorder discount is actually even bad for DTG.
When they had it, I didn't wait and bought the route for the discounted price right away.
Now with no discount, I tend to wait to see if the route is actually good as there is no hurry, the price will be the same in two weeks when an update with fixes has been released.
And by then I might have even lost interest.

So, business wise I think not really so great for DTG.
And clearly not for the players either.

 

The way you described it is better for the player, you said it yourself. Now you "don't just buy" but think about the decision. As every customer of every product should do.

 

I haven't seen a pre order for this one on steam. Does anyone know time wise its on sale on the east coast Canada ? I think after 12 pm est but unsure where I heard it.

 

It's around 1pm est. It won't appear at 1pm sharp so give it a few minutes and you should be able to buy it

 

The company also owns a DR BR112 the DB BR202 complete with the correct Johannistal KVD engine in addition to the DR Baureihe 242. If made the Press DB BR 202 565 can share achievement with the DB BR 204 from Main Spessart Bahn due to both being identical to each other but Different Physics package and engine.

 

No problem. Also happy (future) birthday btw.
