- In the end I could not resist to rant about how hilarious this entire scenario is. Imagine actually paying for this lol. Discussion regarding this topic is always welcome, however try and be civilised about it. Hope you enjoyed.
Plus sorry for the small typo at 2:27. Should say "Could 'be' more, could be less"

Honestly I would call ATS Alan Thomson Scam
same
They would get more sales if they sold it for £30.
Seriously though (may I ask where are your trainspotting vid)
@@JakesTrainsUK Uh, which one?
@@OffTheRailsUK your previous trainspotting video was 8 months ago
I thought Armpit Deodorant was bad enough, but it seems *HOITHERGOYS* Sim is even worse!
Armpit Deodorant 💀💀💀💀😭😭😭
the price is likely due to legal fees he has to pay for the lawsuit he had against the dev for breach of contract which the judge ruled against alan
Interesting! I’ve never heard of the lawsuit against Alan
@@spacelavayt7446 wasn't against him, it's a lawsuit Alan started against the developers for breach of contract that he lost
Wasn't even that developer's fault, makes full sense ATS lost the lawsuit
this sounds fake but at this point i believe it
@@rileyludlow961 In this day and age, nothing can be trusted. Information for one
Didn’t see anyone mention this, & not sure if you’re aware, so Imma spread this out here. SamT has actually discussed about this debacle & explained what happened on Twitter. Apparently ATS lost a court case against the contractor for the 745 after ATS had breached the contract by locking out the source material from the contractor. After that ATS sued the contractor for not finishing the train. While speculative, I wouldn’t be surprised if the high price is needed to recoup the court fees. Not only is this Flirt debacle a joke for the price, but a real case of unfair work practices.
Its exactly what they did.
I think I'll go for the 152 Freddo bars instead.
I'd love to see u buy that many freddos and recreate the freddos in the sink video and DM it Alan with the caption "the money of this could've been used on your flirt but this is more productive"
Sainsbury's have them for 10p with nectar card prices so that's 380 of them for the same price 🤩🤩
@@jamieplaysagamie I'm sold. Freddo > Flirt
maximum robbery reached
no no they havnt released the 755 yet they might up it even more
55.99£ , your firstborn , ⅘ of your soul and a Tesco mealdeal coupon (only 53.99£ , your firstborn , ¾ths of your souls and a Tesco mealdeal coupon for members)
gotta pay the court somehow
What's the deal with that?
AT did a boguss lawsuit and lost a lot of cash
Whats next? A paper bus for £300,000,000?
EDIT: WHY AM I THE TOP COMMENT??!!
No you get it wrong. Richard is going to release the Tesco bag for £400,000,000.
@@ETGamer445 no you got it wrong, theyre gonna release a piece of cardboard for 1 billion pounds
DTG: Right that down! Right that down!
Next up we have air for 1 trillion pounds 💀💀💀💀💀
@@ibusmarket147 10 Trillion Pounds!
At first I saw the trailer I thought it seemed alright
Then I saw the price, re watched the trailer and thought what in the actual hell LOL
That makes 2 of us. Its a shame really.
40 FLIPPING QUIDS?!?! FOR WHAT😭😭😭
yawwie in animated form finally has fecking emotions
At this point he can sell a moddle of realistic looking literal shit on bogies that you can smell the pixles on for £150,000,000 while George from GÜ is waiting to get paid £2 for work that was about 50,000 lightyears ago like fucking hell Allen is running the gaming train enthusiasts pyramid scheme
Thats exactly what he is running.
Just wait until AP do an EP for it, that’ll bring it to almost £60-£70 (probably)
sounds accurate lol
AP selling 745s for £60? Am i reading this wrong? 🤔
Surprised they don't wear a balaclava when robbing people. 😂
Glad to see that even after my year-long (and counting) hiatus from TS basically nothing has changed lol, this (and all the sh*tstorm behind the scenes) is the kinda stuff that made me give up hope with the game...
Don't blame you lol. Glad you're getting on fine with your new career though!
@@Yawwie I'm basically paid to make train sim scenarios but IRL now if you think about it, natural progression!
(and the software we use crashes as much as TS does as well!)
The thing I don't seem to understand is 38 quid. I said something to the tune on their stream of "don't get me wrong, i'm sure it's a very detailed and good product, but 38 quid. 38 quid is a lot. wallets are gonna feel that"
My comparison would be DCS - you pay £40 quid on sales, and 65 off, for a full fidelity aircraft, which while isn't complete, is constantly being updated, has new features and corrections made mostly, has absolutely everything modeled, and can do all different bits and bobs. yeah it has its share of bugs and problems, but they're actively being fixed.
Whereas this, 745, you can use on not that many routes (and some of them are paywalled behind ATS as well) and its one class that does one thing. And all in all, yes the TMS is kinda impressive, but as TSTV said, there's some omissions/errors and bugs that just shouldn't be a thing for 38 quid. and chances are after the first month you'll get no updates to it. AND the 755 is a separate pack. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying AP is any better, but at least with their expensive packs like the 37 its got everything modelled correctly and whatnot
Oh, and you don't have to pay for a sub. what u see is what you get at AP.
Who says they won't do updates? They do updates quite a lot. Sometimes TOO much!
You could also compare the price to the Fenix A320 available for MSFS.
@@mdhazeldine there be the flipside. having heard various recordings of the sounds, there definitely could be some adjustment, and there's definitely bits and bobs on the model that... need correcting.
@@Rowan66109 I was never part of the MSFS fraternity (shamefully) but they get some good DLCs, proper full fidelity for cheaper than this.
10 meal deals lad, 10 FUCKING MEAL DEALS
What is that abomination of an EMU / Enhancement Pack? I mean that is an embarrassment. BTW, glad you are back Yawwie!!
Most of you may hate on yannie for yapping but he isn’t wrong. You can’t pay 38 pounds for a pack which isn’t worth the price I could literally buy myself an avanti west coast first class ticket to Crewe. Isnt worth the money
Daylight robbery in 2024 is real… my days 😭😭😭
I refuse to believe that there’s a few people who are willing to spend that much on a virtual train which shouldn’t even price that high 💀💀
Could go abroad to another country and back for the same price or even less 🤣🤣🤣
at this rate its gonna be cheaper to buy a real, physical train than this bollocks
I mean to be fair to Yawwie he does have a point when you could probably go to Norwich at this price. I can fly to Newcastle and back for just £5 more than this train costs. Not that i'd want to, but you know
How can a TS Classic add-on possibly cost £37.99? That's appalling, remembering that this is one train and not a complete route, and ATS' greed could really give AP a run for their money. Come to think of it, even if a route was priced at £37.99, that would still be a massive rip-off.
I'll wager that the 755 will be just as expensive. In which case, that'll suck because I like the 755 and want to use her on the Wherry Lines route. How on earth could the 745 possibly be worth as much as £37.99! A more realistic price would be something like £14.99, and even then, that's still pushing it.
I can only imagine how Alan himself will react to this video.
ATS has always been a joke, first the paywall to access “freeware” content then the exclusive releases to the site, then the payware that requires other payware products in order to actually use the product
I say that everyone should boycott ATS now!
already started boycotting ats products, will only use the ats site for freeware stuff
Fun fact, his lawyer is the director of the 225 group
Explains why Alan is a massive 91 veg
I bet Alan creams when he sees a 91
I mean the 225 is my favourite train but I'm not sure i would entrust it with my legal proceedings
@@LordEverythingtrains yeah, I don’t know how they would get a full 225 set to fit inside a court room
It did him no good, because he didnt win. Any competant Judge would se through him, and they did. And so did I.
I dont know why the guy has so much supporters. Him and his lot are a bunch of nasty bullies.
Alan Money Simulation
Waiting for a 720 costing 70 quid while having 345 sounds
Let ap do a 720
So its £9 more than tsw4 standard and and £3 more than flight simulator standard
Haven’t watched yet but can already tell it gonna be good
SamT please save us with a sound mod! ❤
the sounds are a 2009 stock and class 800 mixed together
One of the first things I noticed in the trailer were the 2D textures for the Egress devices in the pax view. Small gribe IK but IT'S 40 QUID!
You had the same reaction for the 185 at 20 quid dude lmao
Looking forward seeing your view on DTG subscription option for TS 2024 lol
The Real Think Sounds Like The German Flirts The TSC Think IS a Mix of TSW And Sounds From 20 years ago
The price is already ridiculous within itself but Christ £40???
Even I was shocked
But can you actually spot trains from Greggs in Clapham Junction? And are their tills working yet?
Ngl I had the same reaction when I saw the price. I couldn’t believe it, CLASS 755 isn’t even out yet. Not to mention all the other units overlooked. *cough* Class 165/166
It baffles me how regarding the ATS Subscription they can say it's "just" £32.99. That's not a small amount of money to some folk!
Edit for clarity.
Furture class 701 £379.99 😂😂😂
It should also have 2 different sound-sets one for the stanstead express and the GEML versions forgot the / variants.
This makes AP look reasonable
seats look incredibly thin too, though i havent been on 745s only 755s so they might be different but i doubt it
Alan Robbery Simulation
I know armchair powerstonks is a rip of but this is an outright scam
Wow maybe it wasn’t a dream after all! 38 Quid after all is daylight robbery!
something something court fees
I’m now going to start a riot
WOW that was quick upload
True 💀
Shocking price glad you have done this video made me laugh
I feel robbed and I haven't even got this addon
My words exactly. I am shocked at this.
The route and the train should be a combination package in the £15 to £25 range. If you buy this product at that stupid silly price as of what it is today you need to check what your priorities are in life seriously. Garlic Bread is the better option as it stands.
Dovetail: hello. I like money!
Actually when you slam a 745 into full power from a stop it makes that different inverter noise, am I right? I heard that same sound from other videos of the 745 departing…
It doesn't actually. What you're describing is a switch from unipolar to bipolar PWM, which causes completely different harmonics and therefore can't just be simulated by a sound pitching down. There's actually another switch at ~50 kph, which is really just the bandwidth increasing. The latter is what they tried to simulate with the different inverter sound, but it's not realistic
@@mittenpulstaktung Ooooh okay. Thanks for the info mate!
Most of his add-ons on that site are grade A rip off. I think I might repaint the Flirt 3 Suwex train and make do. They can f*ck off with that price, jokers!
Funny thing is if you say your opinion on it on Facebook he gets real arsey 😂
Tell me about that, he got really angry with me this morning, ending his post with grrrrrrr
@@MrTobysDadhe deleted my youtube comment
@@tomrachellesfirstdance7843 I'm also seeing facebook posts disappearing after a while.
And if you try to say anything on his streams, most of the “community” gets a little bit to grumpy
@@tomrachellesfirstdance7843 oh really apparantly he dont delete comments funny that lol
ATS is worse than AP, i wont be paying that price
I would've fell into the trap if ATS account making process wasn't hell. It said put Ur email in, make Ur username and password. I did that. Said it worked and to try the login, didn't work. Password reset email. Didn't send even tho the button said it did. It's just an utter rubbish website. Even I can do better with that. If it worked I would've waited to learn investments before even considering buying payware dlc. The freeware looks alright in my opinion but the payware is worse than the class 166 on the euro loco and asset pack.
Try the 3dzug ICE 1 train on just trains. Much better and cheaper at £28 mate.
this is why i play flight sim now.
theres a armstrong powerhouse 2nd route enhancement
Think I’d just buy the 745, make it 3/4 cars in the custom consist, then use it on the dtg London ipswich
The discord loved this video lol
It's no doubt a rip-off but being a lover of modern trains I had to at least pirate it and try it out. And I mean...it's not bad? The sounds aren't great but I've heard worse, it's loaded with features, and it looks decent enough. Had they done a better job with the sounds and not charge a fortune for it, it could've been worth buying.
Man those doors look horrendous!
AP actually did something sensible for once. They realised the prices of weather and clouds was silly and actually reduced the prices of both.
Ill take the garlic bread 🥖
Tesco are gonna run out given the two choices of how to spend money.
might aswell buy a avanti west coast ticket
I thought the 185 was expensive jebus
The Passenger Announcement sounds sound great as do the Scripting Animated Screens. Im not going to make a comment on price given it could easily cost £3000 for a high polly model and yet that model might not even work in the game. Oh ive got all that to look forward to :(
The plum took the vid down and replaced it with a crappy trailer 😂
hi there guys alan here
Dude this is terrible up to date. Maybe Richard Powerhouse will come with something somewhere down the line.?
gotta love how yaw just uses the trailer videos bc the prices are too bolox
Just took the plunge and bought this, followed all the instructions for installation but nothing seems to have installed ! Not in any of the TS menus or available in scenario creator. Just nothing. What a rip-off
The new ATS "Launcher" is HELL; warmed up some. Just awful...
OMG jaja 💀 ❤️
Love from Kansai, Osaka 🇯🇵 ❤️
I bought this thinking fast, not really knowing what to expect, before I saw this video, I thought I made a good(ish) purchase, I already had a subscription for the 'GEMMA' route, with hopes that that would be finished before the 745/755 was released, it wasn't and now I'm officially 70 something quid off, the subscription did shave off about 8 quid, but other than that. I will admit I do feel dumb, and a tad scammed.
First impressions I though the 745 was brill, once I saw this video, my eyes opened a little and now I can't drive this train without feeling guilt to myself that I made such a huge purchase on one individual E.M.U + a sub-variant, not even including the 755 + sub-variants as well!
If the 755 was included, as well as MAYBE some Weathered variants? If you've seen the state of some of the things! Perhaps this would be more worth the pretty penny. However, I will issue a warning to those considering buying this E.M.U along with acquiring the re-done GEML route....
Don't buy them... Yet... Once the clear problems have been ironed out (If they ever get rectified) and the 'GEMMA' route alongside the Class 755 is completed, then maybe, this will be more worth it. For now, clearly they are not, especially seeing as the 745 just eats away at the performance of TSC, I average about 15-27 FPS on the GEMMA route. That's Standard Mode with NO AI TRAFFIC!! Plus, it's worse around Ipswich, Colchester, Chelmsford, London and don't get me started on Stratford! Enhanced performance my ass!
I would go on, but I fear I may burst a vessel in my head from all of this, or furthermore, upset an ATS Karen... So I shall type no further...
You heard it here from a human being stupid enough to waste his money... You're Welcome! (R.I.P My Bank Account)
Well at least I respect the honesty. But for £38, I agree, it should have all bugs and performance issues ironed out if they're treating like this like a premium addon. I watched a bit of the Train Sim TV video after uploading this and the amount of bugs I saw which were left ignored were laughable. Ultimately though, as you said, if this was cheaper, even without the need of a sub, and had additional variants plus the Class 755, this would be slightly more worth buying.
@@Yawwie Much respect Yaw, still loving the vids, keep up the informative work! 👍
Can you review train simulator 2024?
Wow they expect someone to pay 40 quid for a video game DLC
When you see what other devs like SimExpress or K-trains release for half the price of this... Damn really makes you think
Yes, K-Trains Vectron (which Alan probably hasn't even heard of)... now THAT is study level! But me about 20x the features of hte ATS Flirt.
40 quid!? I can literally buy a whole mcdonalds meal for caseoh for cheaper
Not gonna spent like £3o on a train, but credit to the devs where its due
Its still better then what i can do lol
I never really likes Alan but I did want the flirts to finally drive modern day wherry lines the OG geml and the incomplete waml then I found out they weren't being sold together and I got so pissed a couple hours later I found out it was 38 pounds for one of the variants and I laughed definitely a fat scam I can't belive people can be this greedy
To think I was actually going to buy this train. That's way too much money for a trainset.
And the incredible ap411 is 30
This is the greatest video I've ever seen 🤣
Absolutely no way, this has to be a joke. Dtg normally charge £11.49 or less for a train, but this is ridiculous. How do these scammers even make money!?
I honestly think there’s more to this situation than meets the eye as this video can atttest, at least at the 25:26 mark: th-cam.com/video/hKUQKuwecJg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GQrgRCI2nUy4H3zI
Bearing in mind I live in south east Kent, I can get a (Child) ticket from where I live to Cromer for 40 quid which is only 2 pounds more expensive than this shit product
GIVE ME YOUR WALLET
What the actual F*** is this madness I got the flying Scotsman in TSW for free and this goes for £38 in ts classic again what the actual F
I still bought it😅
I’d rather buy my favorite ap eps that you dislike aka the electrostar the dusty bins etc
ATS first you have to pay a subscription fee then you have to pay for a route, then for the route to work you need to pay for other routes. ATS is a ripoff £38 for a train with an awful sound pack and a cartoony feel to the train just isn't right!
He ruturnth
Whose first
AP is better value for money than this

This is a 100% rip off $70 Australian wtf drop the price on this u clear a money pincher
