RSC/DG announce "We want your ideas and feedback"

but I also asked if they could do something about the animations (the moon walkers and the rest of the ministry of silly walks).

Just curious, but what do you see as the problem and what 'fix' did you ask for ?

They've moved the thread to another part of the forum ... http://steamcommunity.com/app/24010/discussions/8/648814395711376643/

The problem with the animations is that most of the people walking on the platform have a gait that resembles something between Michael Jackson, a member of the Wehrmacht or John Cleese doing his silly walk. I suggested that they revamp the animations using motion capture technology ("cutting-edge technology").

Dovetail already knows what is wrong with their programing and has known about it since day one. That said, you have to give them some credit at least for asking what the owners of this product thinks needs fixing.
Railworks has never been a prototypical simulator. All one has to do to verify this is look at Trainamania's review of the RSC's Pacific Surliner route. Prototypical or not it still an enjoyable pastime and complain though I may about what should and shouldn't be. I will still continue to purchase that which piques my interest and when the muse strikes, write scenarios for this simulator/game.

Did you try the second link (they moved the discussion to a different section)?

Here it is again: http://steamcommunity.com/app/24010/discussions/8/648814395711376643/
Works for me.

[Chacal]

Not for me.

Yep, dead link "forum not available".

Ah, I might know why. I think you have to be logged into Steam.

It's working fine for me.

And not for me...

John are you signed on at Steam?

That would explain things...

An interesting discussion's been started by RS_Admin on the official Steam forum for TS2014. They're going to have a brainstorming session soon about improvements to the core game and want our input. I've already posted a few suggestions about weather, animation of people, and implementing the means to have proper bail-off of independent brakes.

This link doesn't work, Rennie. Could you post a good one? Thanks!

Have you tried it after logging into steam?

Maybe the better way would be to navigate to the thread manually via the Steam client (select TS2014 and click on Forums, then find your way to "Get Help and Advice" and open the first, pinned topic at the top.

I would think they have to be concerned about the new developments over at N3V and how it might reshuffle the market share for train sims by the end of 2014. Healthy competition should be a big motivator to deliver what your customers are asking for.
