SimRail DLC And Update Review 22.04.2024

Take a break Mike, you’ll be back!

Trouble is a break, just means more telly. Or sat here as i am now aimlessly surfing the net.

Did spot an Open Rails, Czech network route earlier, 440km in total. But uses a specially modded version of the OR software.

So not sure if i have the minerals to sort that out, with the language barrier as well.

I’m thinking about diving back into the truck sims for a week or two. Both ETS2 and ATS are running the Christmas delivery thing again this year which added something different to do. Contemplating whether to buy Greece for ETS2, not got particularly great reviews on Steam. Main event will be Nordic Horizons next year. I should really get stuck back into Snowrunner.

Anyhow probably like me yesterday, splitting my sides when DTG big reveal for TSW turned out to be Thomas The Bloody Tank Engine. And not even a route based on Sodor to go with it, just a train pack for the WSR. Lots of entertainment value on the forum, with all the white knights coming out to defend it!

I thought Greece was ok Vern, i just think that as SCS DLC is so reasonably priced. I just buy everything for both games without a second thought.

I understand that Snowrunner is keyboard or game controller steering only buddy. I have a good joystick but apparently the game does not recognise joysticks.

Is that correct do you know Vern, looks like fun. But keyboard steering for me is a no no.

[NorthernWarrior]

Never tried Snowrunner with the joystick. Usually you are going slow, the keyboard probably okay. Might be worth you trying for two hours if on sale, then can refund if not to your taste. But I like it, some of the Russian maps are really challenging. Don’t expect real truck physics or inertia though.

[haverfordwest]

Hi Vern, yeah i could do that no worries. Mind the times you have refunded, i am surprised you haven't been banned. 🤣🤣🤣

I was reading about that Thomas the tank engine debacle on DTG forum earlier. Very entertaining i must say, very racist of DTG.

They chose the English Thomas over the Welsh Ivor The Engine 😁😁

Found a BR Sectors revision of DTG's Swansea - Bristol route earlier. So maybe install TSC and give it a look.

Must admit I don't ever remember Thomas as a kid back in the 60's or early 70's but I certainly remember Ivor!

Anyway Greece, was just about to buy it for £9.99 then noticed the Balkan bundle, even though Greece the only item I need on offer for £7.99. No brainer there - nice!

DTG can stick their broken TSW for a couple of weeks, did try a run with the 87 last night but still getting that awful sound distortion. None of the other train games do that.

Anyhow off to Athens and maybe do some of the Christmas campaign, too.

[haverfordwest]

It started on tv in 1984 Vern, with Ringo narrating. The books were around in the late 1940's, but i never had any growing up. Yes the Greece bundle was available when i purchased it, but i still paid £9.99 for the single DLC 😁.

I only re-installed TSW for the Preston - Carlisle route. But even the lustre of that wore off very quickly. I much prefer the full TSC merge, Preston - Glasgow - Edinburgh. Or the two steam era versions, of both of those routes. Preston - Carlisle 1962 and Carlisle - Glasgow 1961.

Enjoy buddy.

Mike.
