Train Sim World 3 Q&a - Tuesday 16th August

Hi

Now DTG say that you choose loco and choose a route to play right? but if i want to play a route with original loco there is a message or anything that says that loco belongs to that route?

 

Please give a thought to upgrading some of the current preservation routes to tsw3 at some point in the future!

 

Please Show us more from the BR406 Passengerinformationscreens

 

BR 403*

 

Hi, can the size of the HUD be changed in TSW3?

 

Will we see more canadian routes, maybe Canadian Pacific, VIA Rail? Ontario Northland?
Would be great to see more Canadian routes on TSW 3.

 

Why won't you guys add another subway route like the NYC Subway?

 

Is there Ebula (Elektronischer Buchfahrplan und Langsamfahrstellen - Basically a digital screen where the route is displayed and spots where trains can expect a slow down) planned for German trains? That way, some players can drive the german routes without UI on, and know where speed limits and stuff change and when a stop is.


Ebula is basically this:

 

Will there be Raildriver Support?
Have horn sound audio been updated or better?
Will we be getting CSX locomotives in TSW3 with the updated lighting and features?

 

1st Yes
2nd No
3nd No

 

Just a question I had that didn't get an answer for on stream. But wil rush hour passengers still be a thing?

 

Will wheel blur on xbox be fixed likevyou promised when sos came out?

 

Will the white flashes and z fighting be fixed on xbox.

 

So can anyone summarise what (if any) useful information was gleaned from this stream…
Particularly in respect of
1. The ongoing save game debacle. Are DTG going to do something about the increasing momentum on the forum to keep the existing save in place as better than nothing, even to the point of putting in a Beta/Unstable path on Steam?
2. Anything about sound improvements, specifically external reaction to train and wheel motion, in English reverb and clatter.
3. Lighting - better overall night lighting and headlight projection/reflection where applicable.
4. Pricing and bundle compilation which is unfavourable to those who already own both SoS and SEHS.

These issues are all red flags on the forum and probably mentioned repeatedly in this thread.

Or was it just more marketing waffle and flannel?

 

If someone already owns Spirit of Steam then they can buy the standard edition to get the other routes.
If someone already owns Southeastern High Speed, but not Spirit of Steam (like me) the only option to get all the other routes is to buy the deluxe. With the pre-order discount it's £45 for 3 additional routes Cajon, Kassel, Spirit of Steam plus the Training Centre. This does not seem too bad, but really people in this situation should only have to pay the same as standard edition.
Where people really get screwed is if they already own both Spirit of Steam and Southeastern High Speed, which affects a lot of UK enthusiasts. If they want TSW3 they have to pay £40 for 2 additional routes, or £30 for 1 route.

 

Will Dovetil add any new york city subways routes and maybe the hudson line and the new haven line to train sim world 2 if thats possible

 

Read the roadmap

 

Still didn't get answers for these questions:
Has the wheel spin blur been fixed for xbox?
Is there a proper photomode in the game? (Sadly I don't have high hopes for this one)

 

Excellent Q&A stream last night. DTG JD

Sam is awesome!

 

LS is not the abbreviation for Luzern Sursee from this post by DTG Alex it's LZN

 

Now that TSW2 is being delisted, will any of the DLC from TSW2 not carry the 'Train Sim World Compatible' logo and therefore, will no longer be able to be purchased from September 8th?

 

Just wanting ask, I noticed during the UI demo on Tuesday that certain key details like number of tutorial/scenarios/services was missing from within the information given about each route. Can I ask, is route information such as number of services/scenarios/tutorials still displayed within in the new UI and if not, why isn't it showing up? Because I feel like it is disappointing to go into the new game and not have these important pieces of information shown anywhere within the new UI, especially with the number of services the route has as that is one of the biggest selling points of a route in my eyes.

Better explained by clicking this link here.

 

Hmmm, that's a bit of a let down... I hope you can fix it quickly so that the number of avl services will once again appears on the screen when selecting a route.

 

Hi!

Just wanted to say thanks for answering my question about the external camera and being thrown back into the cab in tunnels, really appreciate it (also sorry for the confusion, I know this was an issue when TSW2 was released due to Bakerloo, this was fixed a while ago of course but just wanted to check it would remain the same as it is now when TSW3 is released).

It's great to know this won't be an issue on release of TSW3 as it was in TSW2, this really does help massively with my personal gameplay (especially as when the new SEHS is released I'll likely be spending most of my time on this route and is obviously has lots of tunnels across the route!)

So thanks again for checking, can't wait for the new SEHS route next month, well done to all involved in making this all happen

Hi JD,

If the key stats for vehicles isn’t working (and not in the game), how can the achievements around having to drive X distance work? How will the game know?

- Mat_Jam_Ca

 

If you are taking player feedback, can we get fewer part routes and more full routes, sort of annoying to stop more or less half or 3rd way through, like the London Commuter, for instance?

 

Thanks JD

 

Oop. Thanks

 

Will dovetail games ever so sidereal bringing In the eurostar or an international route

 

Will eurostar ever come to tsw3

 

there’s no plans announced for it

 

Was this question or those similar spoken about on the stream??

 

SEHS is one of the DLC’s that often has trains in depots or sidings full of passengers. Has this issue been resolved in TSW3?

 

Since I now have a Dovetail Account could any of the routes or any of the dlc locomotives I bought will be in Train Sim World 3?

 

Whether or not you have a Dovetail Account all of your TSW2 compatible dlc will be available for you to use in TSW3! You will just need to re-download them. I don't know why people are having such difficulty understanding this. DTG have been very clear on this.

 

I don't have a problem with it, as long as it will work

 

What I'm trying to say is will I have to buy them again and restart the progress on each route.

 

You won't have to buy them again as long as you're using the same platform (PC, Xbox or PSx) as previously. The achievements are different in TSW3 so your existing achievements in TSW2 won't carry through. Existing progress in TSW2 ( hours driven, miles walked etc.) may be migrated to TSW3 but this is not confirmed and might not happen.

 

Ok so all the DLC for TSW2 will still be available to buy after the 6th September when you de-list TSW2 from store fronts yes? My question is if I buy any of the TSW2 will it still work in TSW2 or will I have to get TSW3 for it to work? I'm slightly confused on this matter as there is still TSW2 dlc I want to buy but I'm waiting for it to go on sale. Also are you going to keep your promises to fix/improve DLC/core features for TSW2 alongside TSW3 or is it a case of "oh well we'll see how we feel about updating/fixing TSW2 stuff"?

Also please don't reply to me telling me to read the roadmaps because I already have and what is on there doesn't mean that is going to be the answers to my questions. I would just want a member of staff to answer my questions honestly about what is going to happen.

 

All of the TSW2 dlc will be available for purchase after the release of TSW3.

all TSW2 content will be playable on TSW2 and TSW3.

 

Will the ICE 1 get layered on other routes?

 

Not yet i think as the length of the train is different

 

DTG JD since you haven’t started a new thread for questions for the Thursday sept 1 stream, I’ll post my 2 question here:
- Can you please make sure to confirm if TSW2 game progress will carry over to TSW3 or not. I know you guys were looking into that, but with the radio silence of the last few days, we haven’t heard anything definitive about this. If it does carry over, please go into details. Will only player lvl carry over, or also the already finished scenarios/timetable services on all routes?
- What's going on with the add-on manager. It was said that was gonna release before TSW3. Well, TSW3 will be here day after tomorrow (early access). So, where's the add-on manager?
