Another source of freight ignored and more track we can't visit.
There's Teesport between Grangetown and Redcar. There is a rail connected engineering works between Darlington and Dinsdale, every time I go past I think how great it would be to take a couple of steel wagons in there. I'd hoped the class 31 dlc would have included activities like tripping cement wagons down the branch to Middlesbrough docks but we only get to leave the train in Tees Yard.
TRAIN SIMULATOR DLC COST FULL
I paid full price for the Tees Valley dlc and I love it, but I'd have paid more if we'd have been able to drive the passenger train to Bishop Auckland and had access to all the sidings and locations we don't visit. I've only just picked up Peninsula Corridor, and in time, will probably get the Baby Bullet and ECW, but not before the prices come down.Īll that said, if they brought out the WM Trains / CrossCountry route I proposed south from Birmingham New Street, with an EMU and a Voyager, I'd absolutely buy on day one and pay full price, so I guess it's where your priorities lie.
If you're going to buy one or two routes and play them to death, then you can probably justify a day one, full price purchase, but I'd rather wait, have a wide variety routes to swap between at a lower cost, and be less depressed if I end up with a route I don't particularly enjoy. If you wait, let the initial bugs get fixed, then pick them up for half price or less in a sale, you've already massively increased the play-per-price value. It's true enough that you can buy many full price games for the cost of one DLC, but it's also true that I rarely, if ever, pay full price for games just so I can be one of the first to play them. Only then will you have a realistic £/hour price. Let’s see what length the next DLC is because if it’s around the similar distance you can bet that’s their “sweet spot” and they’ll continue to churn out shorter routes over longer routes people would want to see.Ĭlick to expand.I agree with this - we don't yet know what the new route will feature to justify that £1/mile and it should be judged more by the play time you will get from the route. Whether we like it or not, DTG pumping out shorter routes and still charging the same price make sense for them, I don’t agree with it but those who make the decision will see this as the best way to milk us of £££ for as little work as possible.Ĥ out of the last 5 DLC’s have been 30 miles and under. It’s quite clear that DTG are releasing shorter routes for the same price as longer ones which means they’ll make more money as it takes less time and resources to create compared to a longer route.
*route distances were taken from which was created by NorthRail1
I’ve worked out the price for each DLC per mile of track in each route released. I’ve also excluded GWE, Rapid Transit & NEC as they came in a bundle with TSW console version). I’ve been looking at the length of previous DLC’s (not counting Heavy Haul as it’s not on console. Do you think a standard £24.99 for DLC’s are acceptable?
