    It's hardly a scam as you can see what you are getting. Some just like to use buzz words like that in the wrong context.

    Maybe because the Beta Team was disbanded after the WCMLs leaks and DTG have been relying on "Ambassadors" and "PlayTester Sessions" to fill the void. Jan even said on the LiveStream that there was a playtest back in December 2025 of Tadami.

    Maybe that's it then. I would have thought someone would have noticed.

    I find it is the one thing stopping me driving older stock as the lack of suspension is very noticeable.

    Personally I think they should strive to retrofit it to older trains. Someone in the community managed to.

    Well that would be good but I suspect that ship has long sailed.

    Hello there,

    To be clear, the beta team remains active and continues to operate as usual.

    But to avoid false conclusions about my comment in which I mentioned taking part in a playtest earlier this summer:
    Said playtest is a regular meeting for the wider marketing group. It gives colleagues who may not often have time to play our games during their day-to-day work an opportunity to sit down, experience the game and share their thoughts and insights. It serves a different purpose from the beta and QA teams and is not intended to replace or affect their processes.
    As we have many departments, it’s worth keeping in mind that we may use the same terms in different contexts. For the marketing team, “playtest” simply refers to setting aside time during the workday to focus on the game and discuss our experience with it.

    All the best,
    Jan

    Given it’s taken them four years to do a relatively simple rural route, I wouldn’t hold your breath! And their Tokyo route in TSC had (has) massive performance issues in places, down to a stuttering crawl at some of the more built up and busiest locations. The grail for me would be something like the Yamanote Line or New Tokkaido, but sadly I just don’t think UW would be up to that challenge.

    Thanks for clearing that up Jan. It's good to get some insight. Appreciate it.

    It’s funny because I’ve found myself getting more and more into Bus Sims these days and much less TSW. Fernbus isn’t the greatest of bus sims but the New England expansion DLC looks pretty decent. And then there’s also the upcoming London DLC for “the bus” too. Haven’t even downloaded the free starter pack for TSW this year neither…. I’ll just buy these routes on a good sale. No rush waiting for sales neither. Happens when it happens. :)

    I'm about to check the preview stream, I just wanted to see what people were thinking here first, if it would even be worth my time to check.
    All of this doesn't sound too good... NO SUSPENSION IN A TSW7 ROUTE RELEASE is diabolical. That is hilarious. There's just no standards for what gets released.

    Personally I can't even drive trains that lack suspension anymore... Not entirely relevant to the thread but I wish someone would add it to the 710.

    I mean it’s £30, but still very poor quality for the price

    Yes that was based on what people were saying before the price confirmed, but still not worth it.

    I really hope the UW guys add suspension for the kiha (obviously, I know that if it happens, it will be post-release)

    So the delay was for nothing?

    Very disappointing. I wanted to get this but just not up to standards

    I don't think performance will be such a big issue this time around because it's a single track route with not a great deal going on to drag down the framerates. What might be an issue though is the way in which trees constantly shape-shift on X|S. Tadami has an awful lot of them and things might get a bit ugly in denser areas.....especially on a sunny day in winter.
    I'd have hoped by now that we'd have been given the option to completely disable lighting & shadow effects because they've never looked particularly great on consoles (those short draw distances and flickering shadows look really poor) and not having them should also improve both looks and performance.

    There were positives, but as often the negatives, of which there are a few are the only things talked about.

    It isn't a bad looking route by any stretch of the imagination.
