Train Sim World 7 - Discussion

Just watched the TSS YT clip and he suggests a possible link with Gamescon, albeit neither DTG or TSW are exactly on a footing with GTA6 etc.

 

I've never understood the point of those ridiculous countdowns.

 

NO WAY
(EDIT: FALSE ALARM, NOT FOR TSW7)

its an asset for Ilkley station on artstation, the description reads its for a "rail simulation project" which could be TSW7

This is a different asset to the one in TS Classic, not a perfect screenshot, but you can tell its different!



The northern 333 leak, the Ilkley asset...

This is all adding up to Airedale and Wharfdale lines!

 

WAIT A SEC...

the asset is made with unity, NOT UNREAL ENGINE.

What the hell is this?

 

Pretty much confirms it then. Screenshot taken before the mod hammer comes down. Still on the fence about it of course as Leeds/Bradford/Ilkley/Skipton would be a good network, but the 158 will be wasted if we don’t go to Carlisle. It also depends who is doing the 333 in particular the sounds. I couldn’t take another audio abomination like the 385 - I would rather listen to SimRail’s buzzing CD 163!

 

Now looking at it, it might be harder to explain than I thought.

the asset used is with a totally different game engine. Not the one used in TSW, but for simrail...


But...there are currently no routes in simrail that are British...

What the hell could be the meaning of this?

 

so, turns out the asset was posted May 2025, too early for TSW7


FALSE ALARM FALSE ALARM!


dammit.

 

Focus Entertainment, Dovetails parent company iirc, are an exhibitor at GamesCon - could be related to DTG needing to push their Direct to allow other focus IP to shine in the limelight?
