Oh man, did not see that in the rules. Well, there goes my screenshots. I just got rid of them since I use a few graphics enhancements and modifications. What happened a few weeks ago, lol?
No worries, they really should make that more apparent. A few weeks ago the screenshot that won used AP sky, since nobody called it out beforehand, and Jamie apparently couldn't tell that the screenshot with the really good sky wasn't vanilla. That week also happened to be the last week where the winner would be featured on social media and get a free DLC. It took a couple days to get a new winner, and that screenshot was never posted to social media and it took another few days before it got into the game. https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/tsc-screenshot-contest-august-2023-week-33.72875/ Shenagins about it continued into the wnext week as well.
EMD meets EMD near New Haven, Connecticut. Route: New York to New Haven Train A: EMD SD40-2 in CSX YN3, pulling a bunch of covered hoppers (silos), both supplied with NY-NH Train B: EMD FL-9 in Metro North New Haven (McGinnis) livery
One more for the archives. This route isn't just literally busy, but there are / were also several operators and makes, elevating its diversity level to eleven. AEM-7, ACS-64, FL-9, P32AC-DM, M8, HHP-8, Acela, plus of course CSX and NS with much of their range. Route: New York to New Haven Train A: EMD FL-9 in Metro North New Haven (McGinnis) livery Train B: GE P32AC-DM in Metro North livery
Some great shots of Busy Rail Traffic, well done everyone. This weeks winner with this lovely shot is tommydee , congratulations! Have a great week everyone Next weeks contest : https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/tsc-screenshot-contest-october-2023-week-38.74642/
Thanks guys. I appreciate your remarks. BTW, I love the Aerosoft German routes like this one. Although they're not perfect, I think they are generally better than DTG's German routes.
What a welcome change, not only Germany's largest station, not a single EMU of any kind in view and to my surprise -- locomotives!! Sorry for the sarcasm but I am a bit fed up seeing EMUs so regularly on my start up screen.
Ackshually, the only EMU on the pic is a very hidden ICE. The rest are coaches or locomotives. I suspect part of the choice is the architecture and the angle. We all have our preferences regarding stock, and of course, thanks for the implicit support Can't do much about the loading screen (except setting up firewall rules), but let me invite you to the screenshot threads, you could / might even post requests.
If you can see an ICE your eyes are better than mine but ICE 1 and ICE 2 are not EMUs anyway so its got be an ICE 3 I can't see.
