Another theory is that the coaches will install into its own directory (MultiLevelPack01 or the alike) and the scenarios will install in the NJCL's scenario folder in its .ap file as MultiLevelPack01Scenarios or something similar. That in mind the Multilevel DLC (hidden from Steam store) may be added to all the Steam Subs the ALP-46 DLC is contained in.

EDIT: (http://www.twitch.tv/dovetailgames/v/53 ... =01h15m05s) Beyond disappointed with the bell sound as it doesn't even sound right for a Multilevel cab car. All featured e-bells. Matt has confirmed on the stream that the Multilevels will be added to owners of BOTH the NJCL and ALP-46. (The latter will receive new career scenarios)

There is a certain Fan Railer who might be able to do something about that *!!wink!!*

I watched the stream earlier today and I must say, I'm impressed. They did a terrific job on the interior of the Multilevels. Only thing is the lighting is normally a bit brighter. I don't wanna speculate, but judging from what I saw on the stream, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a Monday or Tuesday release.

You bet... I'm ready for this one. At any rate, it'll be minor if I need to do anything at all.

Man I'm already hyped up for them. I'm even making a NEC scenario for them. Right now I'm testing the player train with an ALP45DP and two Comet IV's but once those Multilevels drop, I'm gonna have a 6-7 car consist behind it. The DP takes off like a rocket with only two Comets, but it may be struggling a little with Multilevels.

That is in fact, prototypical. NJT typically runs heavy 10-car Multilevel sets on the NEC line, and these sets take quite a while to get up to speed; they only managed to hit 100 on the stretch between New Brunswick and Princeton Junction on a local service. The power for that train was one of the original-order ALP-46s, so it is more than likely the 45DP will take a little longer to accelerate.

I most certainly will be looking forward to a scenario made with NJT equipment on the NEC. Especially with multilevels. And yes, I agree that 10 cars consist should certainly be considered, because Openrailer90 is correct, and they could, or at least should fit most NJT stops, as they do IRL. However, if you still choose to go with your original plan, I'll still bite, regardless. I have been craving to see to see a plethora of NJT scenarios on the NEC, especially from Elphaba. But due to the route having been taken off temporarily, there must be a perfectly good reason. Can't wait!!

Excuse me for sounding gimmie-pig-ish right now, but they need to buckle down and release this already. From the stream to what I saw on FB, there really doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them. The fact that they're being vague about it also is really irritating. You'd think with something so highly demanded they would keep us updated a little better. **!!bang!!**

Again, sorry for sounding like a gimmie-pig. Just needed to vent that frustration.

They're functional...but among my biggest gripes are the 6-car consists in the career scenarios and the incorrect bell sound. The bell sound, however, is easily correctable. I may even create a mod myself that contains a wider selection of Quick Drive consists.

I can certainly understand the slight frustration with the anticipation of this content. Being that it was already supposed to be released, though the reason for the delay is understandable. And a good sign that they're really exercising addressing the quality of their content. Just keeping my mind on other things to help deal with the anticipation.

I really don't get it lol. Content comes out that has even the most minor of discrepancies with real life equipment, and you have dozens of people picking up on it immediately and activating their bitch-sirens and gripe-mobiles. But when DTG actually decides to exercise quality control prior to release that results in a delay, you have some of the same people complaining that release was delayed. Come on guys. Pick a side; you can't have it both ways. **!!bang!!**

They've been released.. of course, with my luck. I'm unable to access at the moment because I'm not home.

Yes, they will be downloaded automatically via Steam but ONLY for owners of the NJT ALP-46.
What a vilest way to make us to buy a DLC! !*not-ok*!

Make you? What a silly comment. No one is MAKING you do anything. I think it is a awesome marketing move.

I agree, Buzz. Especially for those who were on the fence about getting it, now have more of an incentive to acquire the dlc.
