Likely Cost For The Lodz Route?

[BigVern]

Well this seemed the best area of the forum to pose this question. Although the route DLC is listed on Steam it doesn't as yet show a selling price. So, what do we reckon (GBP) - £20, £25 maybe £30?

Hopefully cheaper than a DTG TSW route DLC particularly the abysmal Cardiff network (all 20 miles of it) they just released.

Also wondering if this integrates with the existing route(s) or will it be a standalone separate entity on the servers?

[franky83]

Even if it costs €70, I'd buy it. It'll give me 30 times more hours of fun than a TSW route where I play for two hours and get bored. Hours of fun per euro invested is 1000 times more profitable SimRail. But that's just my opinion.

I believe it will integrate into the current route, extending from Grodzisk Mazowiecki. And I'm expecting it to be an addition to the map off the current servers.

 

Price wise, I'm guessing around €20,- to €25,- though even if it was €30,- - €40,- it would still be better value for money with 100km of new lines then the Cardiff (or most other TSW) DLC

even if it was £/$/€1 for the DLC, there'd still be people complaining it's too expensive 🤑

Having seen the quality of the cargo pack DLC, and the sheer content and quality we get with the base sim, to me what ever price it is will be more than worth it. 

As for integration, there was talk by a dev on discord a while back of it being on a separate server, but i think we'd switch servers automatically when driving off the edge of the current map and onto the DLC map ...
if you don't own the DLC you'd see the tracks and scenery at the edge of the base map, you'd just get kicked to the menu as you do now when you reach the end of the map, 
but you'd see the other trains coming and going along the tracks to and from from the DLC area i believe, kinda like how if you do not own the cargo pack, you see the ET22 and the freight waggons it comes with, you just can't drive the ET22
which is a much better way to do it than the tsw way, where you need to buy 10 other DLC's just to get some variety in NPC trains... otherwise you see the same dosto repeated all over the entire maps.

Is it confirmed to be a full map including multiplayer and signal boxes? I'm just a bit worried after the "retro" map came out with only singleplayer (and very few missions).

This is what it says on the steam store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3583200/SimRail__The_Railway_Simulator_d__Warsaw/

that idea is genius 😮 what i more like here then in TSW is that you can stop as dispatcher the DLC train and look yourself how good it look and i think when you ask nice the player show you the sounds of the ET22 😄 

[Gazz292]

oh i bet a lot of people bought the cargo pack DLC after seeing the ET22 thundering past them when driving other trains, or as you say, as a dispatcher see and hear it going past and thinking 'dang that's cool, i want it'

At least screenshots of Koluszki and Zyrardow signal boxes have been shared by the devs.

That is the right of the paying customer. Well at least it is here in the UK.

Well I see it now has a release date of 30th April (next Wednesday) and there are some streams happening in the meantime.

If the developers are monitoring this thread, could you kindly now share how much the DLC will be selling for.

Not sure if that's good news or bad news.

[jeroezie]

I am worried. So far Simkol runs their business honestly.

The timetable in use on INT9 is the Lodz timetable, they are using that server for testing it....  they also enabled shunting signals on INT9 on the 1st of april too. 
INT9 is the unmoderated testing / newbie / mess around server, the one that restarts every 4 hours to clear up any traffic jams.

Well folks, we should know in about 15 minutes what the cost will be. Off to finish up a run in Snowrunner while I wait!

[Gazz292]

£9.89

[BigVern]

Fantastic news! I don't even need to slip a Steam Wallet Gift card past the wife.

DTG, hang your heads in shame for Cardiff City "network".

52Gb download with the updates though, so looks like I'll be playing Snowrunner a tad longer than I thought this evening.
