Got to be better value than that crappy tiny Cardiff route DTG just released for TSW, for thirty quid! What do we reckon the price will be? I'm going to guess £25.Vern. -
Three quarters of the Lodz - Warsaw route in Open Rails. A fragment from Koluszki station to Warszawa Wschodnia Towarowa with a special train - a heritage train.

"We are familiarizing ourselves with the route to Łódź" - The train is driven by Piter - the train driver in real life
"We are flying from Łódź to Warsaw" - The train is driven by Magdalena - a Train manager in real life

Does this DLC join with the existing routes in SimRail ?Yma O HydComment

I think it does Mike.
Still treading with a bit of caution though. Classic example of what happens when a developer or publisher pulls support for a game that relies on access to a server happened to me the other day. Fired up the Golf Club 2, to be greeted with a "Connection failed" message which, on investigation, is because the servers had been closed down in March. So, no career mode, no multiplayer mode, thousands of user created courses gone just leaving a very basic single player game on a handful of built in courses. It was never a great game as instead of the classic three click system it was one where you had to pull and push the mouse to control the shot, but it had loads of courses which was the main appeal. Now uninstalled... as Simrail has been (for the time being).Vern.Comment

That is good then Vern thank you, i do like the network type train games. It's why i bought Savannah yesterday and not the latest NS route for R8. So you and the other customers have been well and truly stitched up buddy. Leaves a bad taste in the mouth.Yma O HydComment

Well I had a quick go on SimRail yesterday evening, two sessions one with the EU07 the other with the EN57 EMU. Both great trains to drive in particular the sounds, even though the game stutters a bit doesn’t end up with the squelching effect you get with the judders in TSW. The multiplayer aspect is still over rated. Both times playing on the INT1 server which now seems to be the main English one, though there were two guys using speech waffling on in Italian didn’t have a clue what they were on about. Otherwise very quiet. Couple of signal positions manned by real players and the odd train that gave a hoot as they went by, but the people running the game seem to have done a bang up job of suppressing even the slightest chat between players.
Then, running out of time, you end up having to come off at some random location which doesn’t even give the A to B satisfaction of driving in TSC, TSW or even Run 8 where you can save and carry on.
Anyhow the Lodz DLC comes out on Wednesday so I will see what it’s selling for. Less than £20 probably give it a shot, though inevitably it will be difficult to get on for a few days until the novelty wears off.Vern.Comment

New DLC needs to have SP sessions Vern, i never drive in MP, just sit and watch with the AI driving. I said that on another forum recently, not sure which one though as i am on so many 😉. Might have been the SR official forum. I notice we didn't get a dedicated English video stream for the new DLC. It said German\English on their forum but i only found German language stream.
Not sure it will be less than £20, but there again i have no idea of it's end to end length.

I think it adds just over 100 km but I need to check that.
Hopefully they will have include some sub 1 hour scenarios in SP to learn the route. Would be nice to see the steam loco get a few jobs too as it remains a bit of a novelty item.Vern.Comment

That is what Vern about 62 miles, i find that a bit underwhelming buddy. Yes agree not everyone can sit in front of the pc for 8 hrs like i do 🤣🤣.
I only drove the steam loco twice when it was released, terrible sounds i thought.

Probably closer to 110km or 70 miles so if it is less than £20, better value than one of DTG’s modern electric bus stop routes or their laughable notion of a Cardiff Valley network.
The steam loco definitely a bit odd. Had another go yesterday evening and still finding once I apply the brakes it’s almost impossible to keep them released. Back to running and fill, then into running and they just reapply.

Fair play then Vern, i will probably buy it anyway. Oh i do not even think about DTG and their farce of a game, buddy. They are worse than N3V by a farmers mile, at least in Trainz they are trying to be innovative. With the Living Railway\Road, should be quite good when the passenger part of it is introduced.
Yup steam loco just did not feel convincing to me. Not as good as some of the later ones in TSC.
SimRail route is released today i believe.
