Xmas Sale

[cor726]

Looks like the Steam Xmas sales has begun. I guess it's safe to say there will be nothing new released this week.

I just got an email from train Simulator advertising the sale and the Miami-West Palm route is listed as 33% off, but there doesn't seem to be any way the purchase it.

I can search for the Miami Route and see it at 33% off but when you click on it I get a blank page.

It is working now - right after posting this lol

You can buy it in the uk no problem.
I went through as far as the check out.
I'll need to wait till the new year for it though.

Sigh, another big sale, and still no ATSF SD45...

Think I'm going to pick up the NS Dash-8 and the Surfliner commuter twin pack, and maybe the GP50.

If you're patient and willing to wait and watch for a "flash sale" you can get the TS 2015 Steam Edition which includes the Surfliner commuter sets at a huge discount. I got my copy during the Black Friday sale for less than $9.

Thought about that. IIRC it went to like $7 over Thanksgiving, which is cheaper than the twin pack and then I'd also get the NY-NH which I may as well for the price.

Maybe off topic, but what is up with the 'marketplace' paint schemes like this not coming out years after the Loco becomes available?

I did my bit to try to keep it alive, but I think Marketplace is dead.

I would rather see freeware repaints over an overpriced marketplace repaint.

Not all repaints are overpriced - there are repaints that take more work to produce than some complete models. You should look at the prices for DLC for other games - then you might come to the conclusion that a lot of TS DLC is dirt cheap (and given away almost free - half the price of an espresso - during the all too frequent sales).

[The_Garbear]

The ATSF and BN SD45s have been my highest anticipated repaints since the UP SD45 came out a bit over two years ago. Last I heard they were still waiting on some sounds or something. I'll gladly pay $5 for a repaint, mostly because that makes them eligible to use in Marketplace scenarios.

Hi all.
It is my intention to complete all the SD45 packs soon. Now I´m working with a texture artist who will give them a more realistic touch.

Well I skipped Railworks content on this sale and picked up the new Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition for $5. So DTG still got my money in the end.

Man... people were right. Buying 3rd party content for that sim can start to get really expensive when you start adding it up.

[The_Garbear]

I bought FSX as well when it was 75% off. I would love to have a DC10/MD11 in the sim, but for $70? Hell no.

Some of the models are pretty incredible though. I found a 757 that comes with a 400+ page manual.

As far as Railworks goes, I decided to pick up the GP20 and the GP50. I highly recommend both.
