For many of us it’s still a sad day and we wish they could of found a way to keep it going. If anything them shutting it down probably helped their train sim franchise as they could devote more resources to the project. I don’t see that as hurting TSW at all, quite a few folks have thousands of dollars invested in that and they want to still be able to play them reliablyĭoveTail did take a gamble with Flight Sim World and unfortunately it did not pay off for them and they had no choice but to shut down the devlopement. The major update you speak of is TSx going to 64 bit, it’s a major change but not that major of a change, although that should fix a lot of our crashes and generally make the game run better. Lastly there are the player numbers, which have been on a downward trend since the original peak when the game was initially released. We've heard nothing of the tools aside from 'they're coming.' There are bugs and missing features from previous DLC, one of which is PZB on RT, which DTG say 'we don't have the time to fix.' Then there's SimuGraph, which DTG say allows them to accurately model locomotive systems and associated physics, yet the physics are inaccurate (by DTG's own admission) and the physics updates to past DLC is taking months. Shouldn't TSW be the 'new era?' I want to be excited about TSW, but I get the feeling it's going to go the way of Flight Sim World and Euro Fishing. DTG have now annouced that TS2019 will be a 'dawn of a new era' and they are making a major update to the game engine, this is after a few years with only minor updates (menu changes etc). And again, despite the game's unfixed bugs and missing features, DTG say everything is going great and they keep churning out the DLC.

Then out of the blue it was annouced that development of Euro Fishing would cease, despite the many bugs that remain unfixed. Then Fishing Sim World was announced, but still DTG kept promoting the DLC for Euro Fishing. Once again, despite the game's bugs and missing features, DTG said everything was going well and they kept pushing out the DLC. Then out of the blue it was annouced that FSW was cancelled. Despite the game having bugs and missing features, DTG said everything was going well and they kept churning out DLC. Does anyone else get the impression DTG are increasing the development resources of Train Simulator 20xx because we're about to see the demise of TSW?įirstly we had Flight Sim World.

The end of something tsw
