    The biggest explanation I can see is the Loco's not being locked to each route. It was a stupid idea to have 15 different versions of the same loco installed

    I'm not expecting an answer to be honest. Obviously I'm not looking for super specifics that are probably insider secrets, but it'd be nice if a little overview was shared about the technical details of this change rather than just what was given. I just do programming for a hobby and am getting into the 3D apis (DX11/12 and Vulkan) so I have the technical understanding of software and development, but I don't know much about game dev.
    But no, I really can't figure out what's going on behind the scenes, and from my POV it just looks like they've added another route DLC and are going to use substitution more so we have less duplicated vehicles across the game, alongside probably some refactoring to the substitution code to make it more optimized. Yea they're also redoing tutorials to work on the training center track and that obviously requires some core changes too, but I still can't see this all this as being a massive undertaking. I imagine the exe will still be "TS2Prototype" so they haven't started from scratch and re-written everything, but just refactored some things to let them do things better going forward.
    You obviously have some insider knowledge and are viewing from a different angle to where the justification makes sense and probably will benefit what you do as a third party DLC creator, but from where I am it doesn't seem like that big of a deal.

    They might get LESS money from separating the loco from the route, as in they sell less routes (and they cost more to buy)

    Well no surprises the announcement of tsw3, was a complete and utter waste of time.
    I have been banned for a week, the DTG Stasi flexing their muscles. Apparently i insulted a member of staff, which is rich. As DTG insult me on a daily basis, with their shortcomings and non delivery of their game. That they promise so much about and yet deliver next to nothing. But i did watch some video on YT about tsw3 and no surprises it is all smoke and mirrors yet again.

    But wouldn't loco dlc sales in turn go up since they no longer have to be tied to routes. There is financial gain to be had from separating routes and locos

    ahhh, i see the problem... you use a male pronoun instead of a gender neutral one, and we know how hot DTG are on being all woke and that. :D

    Well there are people who may buy some locos when otherwise they may not but that would be marginal so unless DTG have a slew of locos ready to go (which who knows, they may do) I don't see it being a big financial upscale

    Will there be more info provided during the service selection phase such as how many cars/length of train and whether or not there will be yellows along the journey?


    If you're gonna call these updates undeservedly tsw 3 at the very least you guys should add this suggestion

    Perhaps. DTG have stated (or at least alluded to) that they don't do loco DLCs much anymore and extensions at all as they require the purchase of other DLC to use. Separating loco DLCs from routes not only is a much-needed quality of life feature requested for a very long time, but from DTG's point of view helps them justify the investment into making loco DLC. In TS I own many loco DLCs for routes I don't have solely to use in my own scenarios or quick drive.

    Just think how much more dlc they could produce if they didn't produce a new tsw each year

    You don't really, you are just being polite buddy LOL Bloody forum is behaving like a dogs breakfast.
    Threads not loading and kicking me back to the index. Installed Chrome to brows just now, not much better.
    Every other online site, works perfectly.

    You may want to ask JD about that or other forum staff, they can probably help you fix the issue.

    Given that this thread has strayed off topic in multiple different directions please turn your attention to one of the myriad other TSW 3 critique threads.
