_o_OOOO_oo-Kanawha: I also forgot to ask which route (Miami, West Rhine, GEML) is better for higher frame rates. I read somewhere West Rhine is graphically demanding, but Miami gets some decent frame rates.

Miami gets great frames for me. I can't speak for west Rhine but for other German routes I have they are pretty hard on the frames.

Merciless is correct. Newer German routes with the high detail catenary are heavier on the CPU/GPU and give lower frame rates.
Some parts of the route have scenery laid down wide beside the tracks, and that gives lower frame rates also.
Lots of AI traffic and trains standing around also subtract a few fps.

If you don't live in the US Of A you cannot but you could try Amazon.co.uk DTG have licensing issue with BNSF allowing them to use there logo outside the US OF A.

Wouldn't work for VRC though unfortunately, since they have their own license directly with the companies as opposed through DTG. But yes, otherwise as trev said, I'm based in the US.

I've been giving myself big dope slaps after buying the Miami route - U36B combo pack just days without waiting for "March Madness":

Let me add that I'm dedicated to switching/shunting scenarios and have found no worthy opportunities for same on the Canadian Passes route. It's beautiful, but boring.

Alright guys, I've been debating if I should pick up the NS Dash-8 or not after all of the bad reviews. I love the Dash-8 but do you guys think it's worth it even with the bugs?

The general impression I've gotten from the thread is that you'd be better served with spending the extra few bucks and picking up Ian's instead - http://eyein12.blogspot.com/2013/10/das ... d-now.html

How do you get the BNSF pack as it appears to be locked.

You can have someone in the US "gift" it to you and then use Pay Pal to pay them. It works fine and Steam has no issues with it done that way.

Thanks for the info, I'll check out Ians locos

On a side note I picked up Ohio Steel 2 finally, been meaning to get this route for awhile now and finally pulled the trigger.

Probably gonna pick up the GP30, it looks like it would fit right in on a number of routes like the RWA, MCSA and Majestic Falls.

I have both Ian's Dash-8, and DTG's, and I do prefer Ian's model. The cab and sounds are better. I only got the DTG one for the repaints available.

I have it on good authority that a GP30 RWA is in the works.

And here it is: March 9th. How long is it until the next sale?

The last couple years they've done sales at Easter, otherwise it will be the Summer Sale.
