Nope 🙂 Back to work! Believe me I'm working to get my 6 hours in so I get the big board. Thanks Sean

Not much info getting to the outside world at the moment in regards to what has changed from test to EA. I can tell by looking at the live maps that we have the line running to Warsaw and the coal route as well as the bypass and possibly a few other junction ends. Now I have to be honest despite my initial enthusiasm I wasn't sold on hope alone. I know this is going to get better but considering how pumped I was at one time (and eventually it got boring) I'm wondering what has changed. My install is just downloading now. I take it there are more trains in the timetable though I really can't tell for sure. I think a couple more dispatch boards are active and some of the servers like EN2 are back which is good. I just want to make sure the person on the fence gets a good idea at what should be a must buy for them. Closing off the forum to purchases only may keep them from asking the questions like I had (yes I'm obviously bit but it wasn't an easy decision). I wish nothing but the best for the team and their development, and say this out of respect and best wishes for them to succeed. Thanks Sean

The AI dispatchers DO NOT adhere to the timetable last I checked regarding freights. Because they don't have a platform they keep going through. Thanks Sean

That is cool!

I remember back in the day when real weather first was added to Flight Simulator. I really don't mess with that as it was an older version on early PC's but it was so cool. I have noticed that when it rains in MP it does rain everywhere. I'm not sure if the fronts move through down the line though or if it all starts raining at the same time. Thanks Sean

I imagine it should be prototypical but I haven't looked it up. I actually haven't run the test version or the latest update. To be honest I was getting a bit bored and I am looking forward to what is coming up shortly. Single player would be nice in a server like setting that you can run and save. I believe I put that in as a suggestion so it's up to others to jump on that bandwaggon and let people know if that is what they are interested in. Personally I'll just wait and see the price and how things look just before purchase. I'll check the forums, see what has been added, and then get my credit card ready if I'm ready. Thanks Sean

Yeah not much support from the single player crowd 🙂

I noticed an appropiate video today I would of loved to share where all these passengers are fighting to get in and out (absolute chaos). Thanks Sean

That's because only 2 people are complaining 🙂

I can assure you it is NOT easy developing a sim because I can barely get out of the starting gates. I graduated about 30 years ago in IT from college and despite that training it's much different than programming business systems that simply deal with relational databases etc. The whole technology has changes and continues to evolve. It is much different when I could program games for a Commodore 64 and actually make some progress. Thanks Sean

I got a solution for you "DONT HIT THE BUTTON" 🙂 Beam me up Scottie 🙂 Personally I'm against running as it's dangerous, but out of curiousity of exploring and boredom while waiting at times I wish I could fly. I also wish I could fly further away and just hit a button to come back. Thanks Sean

Oh I got some reading to do at lunch break today! That is so cool. Well done! Thanks Sean

Gee I better not become a serious developer with what everone else is thinking 🙂 I've tried my best not to worry about what other people are thinking, and get in senseless arguments. But I will say this and leave it alone. A roadmap is a plan period. This is a playtest so anything that is here is subject to change. The team is from Poland and the fact that they are able to communicate as much as they can shows they are trying. Nobody in another country is going to hold an English developer accountable if they have difficulty communicating with a community, or don't answer every question to your pleasure. As for when it's available for purchase that is a decision you make with your money. You are buying software as is and because it's Early Access it's subject to change. The massive majority of the time it gets better or anything that is broken gets fixed. They obviously are not at a point to release a full version game and I think they knew this as early as the Q&A of a few months ago (because EA was mentioned). They have continued to fix bugs yet somehow they are liars becaus they didn't meet a published goal. If you're so offended by what a team is doing, then get off the computer. Go out for a walk, spend time with nature. Nothing on a computer should cause misery in your life. There are enough real issues in the real world we face about worrying about not meeting their goals. This continues to be a great simulator and will figure out what needs to be done. Thanks Sean

I believe it's so they can categorize it and find out if it's applicable and not a duplicate. Thanks Sean

I never noticed it wasn't electrified. I was just curious because the AI liked requesting track 3 when I was in SG. So one night I had a dispatcher on and we tried it and it worked. Perhaps it was taken out recently? Thanks Sean

I have to have some fun with the forum 🙂 No seriously I fully support the team and what they are trying to achieve. Early Access is perfectly acceptable until everything is worked out. Thanks Sean

Ah yes another classic.

Shunting is going to be something in full version according to the Steam update 🙂 Perhaps they need to keep them empty for future development of real stuff. Thanks Sean

Maybee the GF thought whe was using Rosetta Stone? 🙂

I'm pretty certain we are getting EA which is fine by me. I'm curious did it say 500KM in the EA version? Is that 250KM for the left and 250KM for the right track? 🙂 That is the only confusion I see on the image above. Thanks Sean

I did finally hear an announcement in English as I arrived telling people to stay back from the platform. Coolest thing I've heard in a TrainSim. Can't wait to see more things like that. Thanks Sean

I would be shocked if that was the case. I'll see what the price is and if it's too steep look for some other guiny pigs to produce a youtube video or at least something telling us what is included. Thanks Sean

I can tell you right now I don't know a word for Polish other than what I'm learning here such as track and platform. I'm getting by just fine and others with half a brain should as well. Thanks Sean

I'm cool with transporters. The guys walking through city scapes at a staiton stop shouldn't be doing that on duty, but I'm glad they do. I like the idea of saved positions as well similar to my awesome idea for Run8 that was implemented 🙂 Personally I like the "option" of having a passenger mode. I don't think it's too far out of the realm of simulation but no I'm only kidding about Space Invaders in the signal box. A simple window and perhaps a tele would be just fine 🙂 Thanks Sean

What are they supposed to have Polka music blaring in the station? 🙂 They could do a Bobby Vinton soundtrack. I seriously used to have a cassette tape of his catchy tune "My Melody Of Love". Thanks Sean
