Aaah! I thought it was something that I was doing wrong.
Thanks for clearing that up, Vern.
(Makes me wonder if anyone there actually runs through each scenario from go to whoa).

True....that is, for those branch-lines which are still operating, Mike. :)

I think that hits the nail right on the head, Vern.

I agree with Mike on the route length. Shorter routes aren't my thing and, like him, one of the good things with Run 8 is the linking of route...

Brad, you should have been employed to write a User manual for Run 8.
Your explanations are very easy to follow.

It's called "feedback" and, depending upon how it is given, can be a very valuable thing to receive.
And if many of the same types of comments are made then maybe the proprietor should start looking...

That's for sure, Mike.

Nope.
We, the users, have no editing capability at all in TSW.

Well, there you have it - mention by a third-party on a forum which has nothing to do with the product itself!
Maybe you're right and they want to remain exclusive! :)

Reminds me in some way of a...

Why am I, the engineer/driver, the one who has to walk/run along the length of the train to uncouple cars whilst my observer/conductor/assistant sits on his fat arse gazing out the bloody window?!!
...

If my memory is working correctly, I think it was in Trains that I saw the first ad for Microsoft's Train Simulator.

The advert worked, I bought the sim and never went back to my model railway...

That would be a simulation that would take a lot of beating, Vern.

Another thing I've observed, albeit minor, I s'pose, but annoying, is that every item of rolling stock is labelled "Clinchfield"....

I really like the authentic touch of having to move the Transition lever to the Braking mode and also usually needing to use both the train-brakes and the independent brakes. Makes for a more...

It's not bad....not bad at all. :)

So far I have gone into the F7 intro and if those half-wits posting (on Steam) that the brakes are bugged had taken the time to run through the F7 tutorial then...

This would be closer to prototypical if they represented the traffic with one character rather than a string of them fitted with a headlight.

I wonder how big the maps can be?

Thanks, Vern.
Others have also expressed disappointment with the sounds.
(When will devs appreciate that sounds go a long, long way to making a game either excellent or mediocre?)

Interestingly,...

Thanks, Vern. :)
Your opinions would also be appreciated when you get a chance.

Best of luck, mate. :)

I have never come across a business which was so averse to promoting their products.

During the time that I spent with an international company I was involved in sales & marketing.....it was...

That's better! The map image of Western Australia now looks the same on each side of the loco rather than having a mirror-image.

Perhaps they are shy. :)

Neither of those attachments open for me, Scott.

The black one still has the white map-background incorrectly reversed. It should be the same orientation as the pink one.

The pink trains (locos and ore cars) were specially painted at the request of Gina Rinehart (owner), who is a strong supporter of research into breast cancer. In fact, just about everything at Roy...

It is, isn't it? :D
Possibly unique as I haven't seen another that has been recorded from the same position.

Quite so, Mike.
But AUD$56 for a route which includes a "pile of crud" thrown in by DTG is hardly a bargain, no matter how excellent the route itself might be.
I'm not forking out that much to then...
