Why??? What can they possibly achieve by calling it Classic, have some Trainz management joined the DTG ranks......

Cheerz. Steve.

They really do not have a clue, this mob.

For existing customers that already have TS2022. Is DTG going to force this down our throats if we are online when it's released? Sure hope not...... But hey, maybe they fix the blueprint editor so the coupling matrix isn't a... backwards for the rear coupler that has been whack since 2012-2013.

I did further reading. It would appear existing customers with the current version or older have the option of upgrading or leaving things as is. But the fact they are going to "tinker" with things makes me nervous. What potential all new bugs and other assorted gremlins will sneak in on a online update after their release of the "classic" edition.

I don't think they've changed anything ''under the hood'' specifically, more like a new book cover and different title, but, still the same pages of the story, I just can't understand why they've done this in April, we've always had a new game version in September/October, has the commencement of the new tax year got anything to do with it, I wonder???

Just a name change as far as i can tell boys. Plus a change from Sept to April for an update every year.

Says it includes Tehachapi Pass route, didn't even know that route exists for TS20xx.

Apart from Marcs never finished beta release.

Tehachapi Pass was released on Steam by DTG last June, Mike. It doesn't have the same ground texturing and vegetation as Marc's route, nor, hundrerds of bespoke buildings and other assets, it's OK, nothing groundbreaking, a bit better now that the BNSF locos are branded.

Hiya Steve,

many thanks for the info buddy. One i missed then, i think i was all trucks, trucks, trucks summer 2021

Much appreciated.
Mike.

I grabbed that Steve, not bad at 70 miles length. Better than most TSW2 US route lengths.

Scenery is 10 times better than R8, as well.

I'm guessing the route isn't free though?!

[haverfordwest]

No Vern, it is dlc on Steam for TS20xx

Thanks Mike.

I bought this back when it was released and have hardly used it.
It's a pretty route but at least one of the supplied scenarios is rubbish: the SP oil train (Bakersfield to Mojave) has you riding solid yellows yet there is nothing ahead of you, either coming or going.

For AU$56 the package is way over-priced for what you get - 68 miles of line between Bakersfield and Mojave yards.

[haverfordwest]

Thanks Mike.

No problem Vern.

Bruce you need to move somewhere, where the money is actually worth something.

Mike.
