PRO Range = Previous Recycled Objects What is wrong with these Locomotives models is they are a bit oversized in their proportions. Especially the cabs. I watched another person, whom is a real rail engineer and you are friends with Sean, who pointed that out. At the 48:13 mark when they are pretty much side by side, you can see the difference. And no that is not due to optical angle. He compared them side by side and the newer model is way chunkier. Those Brake Piston rods are way too long as he pointed that out as well. Also he found lots of unnecessary polygons due to parts modeled under the hood which you never see and are not necessary. Those polygons eat up frame rates as they still need to be rendered. Also one of his viewers stated that the creator of the locomotive bases most of the sound emitter points at the back end of the loco so that's why the selector sounded like it was coming from behind you.
Thank you for making these two part review videos. The route itself looks great (besides the two tree models and the lack of season files). What through me off was the rolling stock and the "new" engines. This is another reason I like your review videos and saved some of us $40.
Well it might not matter but you might not ever see this route in a train sim again in your life time with plenty of 40$ gone by plus I would charge 40$ or more for even taking my time to create all of this If it was me my starting would probably cost double for my art and time this ain’t easy and takes a long time you probably don’t even know how long ago they started on this stop being cheap
I was kind of annoyed that no caboose was included. But hey thats what reskins are for. Hopefully a patch will come out so we can put ap weather on this route. Great video sean!
7:05 I hate that tank car with a passion, you're right too its in so many packs as of late. It's just the epitome of DTM themselves honestly. Gonna give the route a try though it looks good from what you covered.
N&w units had two different control stands southern units did not. Southern ordered their locomotives with high hoods because it was a loophole to the union agreement. The agreement said that three windows had to face the direction of travel so in order to get around this they ordered high hoods that only had two windows on both sides so they didn’t have to turn the power.
I enjoy how he progressively gets more and more concerned and disappointed with the stock. "The floor looks... (Concerned Schnauzah noises intensify.)" Love your content man, keep it up!
It's a shame we can't bulk asset replace (That I am aware of) like we can in trainzzzzz. One could replace the trees with better ones in a pinch. Then just use TS Tools to replace the stock with SS stock throw in some JR dash 2's and it'd be great. I'll def wait for a sale to snag this route.
Especially since the devs use a program to add assets to their maps, less detail work and it shows. But all in all its one of the nicer NA routes for TS
It’s genuinely amazing how terrible most of this DTM stuff has been lately. If you look at their SD45, which was released over 10 years ago, the quality is about on par with the locomotives in this pack I’ve really lost interest in Train Sun over the past few years. Most of the stuff getting released these days is just complete garbage. Sadly, it seems like enough people out there just eat this shit right up. I’m sure some of the clowns over at RWA are already singing their praises of this route pack. Thanks for making these videos, and calling out the developers on this BS!
Are these locos available separately, from someone else than DTM?? The ride downhill was in "Silent mode", like the famous "Kitt" aka Knight industries 2000...😀
Last thing, I’m pretty sure I heard someone walking and talking on the pathway beside Saluda grade when you were in full dynamic, if you listen close you can hear them talking inside the cab as you pass by. Their saying those sounds on those locos are complete shit. The southern gp20 literally takes a hot steaming shit on the front and rear decks of these locos
Also if anyone thinks you are too critical they should have watched that stream when the other gentlemen reviewed these models. He was a lot less considerate and optimistic than you were.
Funny how these are touted as all new weathering in substance painter despite the fact it gives me half life 2 vibes, especially in the cab. It's sad that they put flexicoil trucks on these SD40-2s, which are supposed to have HTCs... He could've just reused the SD45-2 trucks and it would've been heaps more accurate...
( HSH )-High short hood and ( HLH )-High long hood were classified as. The "F" marker originated from the Alco RS1 units because crews were unsure which way the front was. OMG that SD40-2 being the First ever released Train Sim SD40-2 standard cab version for NS it is super quite like a New Tesla model 40-2 EV ha-ha Yes I understand Searchlight released a SD40-2 NS back a few years ago but that's a 3rd party mod loco that never was sold on DTG steam site or website, So this is Honestly the Very First NS SD40-2 Standard unit awful and the fact the Nose doesn't have a bathroom air filter on the side tells me it doesn't have a toilet! Yeah, those plows are God awful looking way to new, clean and Large looking and the rear plow would have been smaller than the front in RL, plus the cab interior would have been a pasty tan color Not green and the reason behind that why Tan and not green is to brighten up the cab more as it featured more front-end windows than the HSH units. My ears are bleeding from the sound of the Flang squeak. Route is the only thing Worthy from this DLC but Not at $39.99 more like $14.99 at most I would pay.
I’m not really tripping about dtm units sometimes you just have to love what you have and didn’t have because these developers jump ship quick I know a few cancer patients who play and wish for a lot of things to come but not sure if they have the time left on earth to ever see them let that sink in but at a few got they wish with this
All these cry babies but none of them knows how to use the route editor to build them 🤦♂️ and always asking for a QD yes the plug and play kids they don’t cry when dovetails release a bare desert route by cry when we finally start getting some good stuff you should all be happy somebody is finally doing it y’all gone be 65 talking bout sonny they still ain’t stop using dtm models or we still ain’t get a proper Saluda grade from HIS 😂
No, when I made a Saluda Grade suggestion, I didn't ask for it to be butchered by lackluster Digital Train Model and fallen off High Iron Simulations. These models are garbage. Even Trainz has better models than this. How do 3rd party developers make better models for a _model railroad simulator_ than 3rd party devs for an actual _train simulator?_ SS content is better Machine Rail content is better Diesel Workshop is better. If people are enhancing your content, then its very clear your content is shit and your way of making content needs to change. It's obvious you're one of those naive DTM foamers who thinks half-assed dlc is still acceptable. It's not. It's 2024, there's no excuse for this shit. How is it that Searchlight Simulations can make a better NS SD40-2 than DTM? Even Switch Point Simulations can do better than this. You lack the capability of understanding what a simulator is supposed to be. Stop pulling the cancer card and making lame ass excuses for this garbage because that's why we keep seeing half-assed content for this game.
That's not true you can do the same with Train sim classic, you'll have to give more than just world creation. lol try MP, More content, more realistic behavior for power and braking....@@animecoaldragon565

Not having to pay for a DTM and HIS dlc always puts a smile on my face.

This tanker needs it's own origin story.
N&w units had two different control stands southern units did not. Southern ordered their locomotives with high hoods because it was a loophole to the union agreement. The agreement said that three windows had to face the direction of travel so in order to get around this they ordered high hoods that only had two windows on both sides so they didn’t have to turn the power.
If you’ve ever been in one of those high hood units they are pretty nasty
Especially when they're long hood forward. I hate those damn things woth a passion, even the short hood forward locos.
Just waiting for the wizards of Train Sim Community to work their wizardry on the rolling stock and engines.
I enjoy how he progressively gets more and more concerned and disappointed with the stock. "The floor looks... (Concerned Schnauzah noises intensify.)" Love your content man, keep it up!

SOU's only had one control stand
35:29 sorry bro that was me I had taco Bell the night before.
Minimal effort = Maximum profit. TSXX in a nutshell.

i can tell you for sure that you're completely right! my best move was switching to Run 8

Hey Schnauzahpowahz, has the route already been updated because of the AP weather?
I dont think so, i haven't checked.
How do you add the AP Sky and Weather pack to this route? It's file structure is weird.
Quick question my train always roll backwards how you stop it
I have ? Could these have SS enhancements applied can you see that happening
Yeah the Fred took my by surprise to my first run but yeah 👏
"The sound accidentally shit it's pants and had to go home."
me: Well... That explains the floor textures..."
Also if anyone thinks you are too critical they should have watched that stream when the other gentlemen reviewed these models. He was a lot less considerate and optimistic than you were.

Is it a good route?
No
I guess I'll wait for a sale.
It doesn’t make sense because this is a the deepest mountain has no train crashes. But Cajon pass has 3 train crashes doesn’t make any sense
I dont think they use these trains any more way one get them
the mountain of challenge made by the mentally challenged
First time I'm first xD
I’m not really tripping about dtm units sometimes you just have to love what you have and didn’t have because these developers jump ship quick I know a few cancer patients who play and wish for a lot of things to come but not sure if they have the time left on earth to ever see them let that sink in but at a few got they wish with this

Train Simulator is a disappointment. Throw it in the trash. Train Sim World is much better.
I tried twice to get into TSW but I couldn't I don't know if I so used to crap but if I go with a different game I go with Trainz and N3V.
They both suck ass lol. Run 8 is the way to go
@@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999 yeah, trainz is the bomb because you can make your own world
That's not true you can do the same with Train sim classic, you'll have to give more than just world creation. lol try MP, More content, more realistic behavior for power and braking....@@animecoaldragon565
Train Sim World just looks like gaming and seems unrealistic. TSC is like a beautiful model railroad.
