LIRR 2 EMU BOOGALOO | TSW4 | First Look | #trainsimworld

10% limited time 'discount' for owners of the route previously. Slap in the face.

Long islander here, just wanted to clarify that it is spelled “Centre avenue” in real life And yeah I wish they included the new additions to the LIRR like the 3rd track mainline and grand central. Then I would consider the price to be justified.

Apparently DTG couldn’t update the old singaing system on the old route so had to do the entire thing from scratch. There was a much bigger timetable for the old route but since the singaling didn't work properly, it was never implemented. Grand Central Madison wasn't added because there was concern by DTG apparently that the MTA wouldn't allow it for "security reasons" However I don’t think this justifies the $40 price. It frankly seems anti consumer to release a product that has the singaling system not work properly and then decide to fix it but tell players that if they want the new features, they have to pay full price for something that should've been working from the start. Imagine if triple A companies like Ubisoft or Electronic Arts did this. I can only imagine the backlash. The Long Beach Branch while nice doesn’t add a whole lot. They didn’t even bother adding the Far Rockway or West Hempstead Branches. The Far Rockway Branch is only 5 miles from Valley Stream. The West Hempstead Branch is 4.4 miles long The main route itself hasn’t seen much changes. There are some new station assets and a bit more vegetation on the Hempstead Branch but the line is largely the same with the same reused assets. If they absolutely had to charge for this, then it should've been $20-25 at the most. This is not worth $40, but of course there will always be the odd Dovetail whiteknight that will come up with some nonsense excuse to try to justify the price

Literally could've gotten West Hempstead and Far Rockaway alongside Long Beach. I dont like that we dont have a modern take on it, triple track, the way penn Station actually looks now, and Grand Central.

Regarding sounds, what I've read from the past from dtg is that mta doesn't allow people to come and record professional sound recordings and take photos. It's probably for safety reasons as well since it's New York. Even the m7 in harlem was provided by the community.

I live around the lynbrook, valley stream, and rosedale area, and i gotta say, the developers did an outstanding job when it comes to graphics and detail, it LITERALLY looks exactly the same as real life.

I LOATHE how people shit on simrail for their (genuinely very good) cargo dlc being sold for a early access product, but people are fucking defending a FULL AAA PRICE FOR A FUCKING HALF-ASSED UPDATE. Its insane. I despise fanboys so fucking much.

great commentary, keep up the vids man 🔥

Just a quick side note about the speed limiting thingy for cab signaling. After running services for a few hours I noticed you should adhere to whatever speed is lower between ATC and ACSES. I’ve seen where ACSES shows the track limit at say 70 while ATC only clears me to 40.

The branch that turns right at the valley stream station is the Far Rockaway Branch :)

To be honest that bridge passing along Long Beach is a pain yes 5mph speed is a pain on the ass but I kinda don’t obey that speed cause it’s to slow but if you go a little bit high than 5 like 6 to 8mph the ACSES system won’t go off and make you slow down to actual track speed but that’s just me

Pretty sure that font is just the default Unreal font. Might be a bug, might be intentional, who cares, should be changed.

If you look at a driver's cab ride of the LIRR - Long beach, before you get to the bridge you have colour light signals. How come they weren't implemented?

One of the new additions is that you can drive the trains to and from the Hempstead yard which I wanted and some other players to do in the previous version

Centre ave is correct. This is my branch. Pass through there everyday.

The changes were made because they have been breaking into yards and moving trains in the yard. Also they wasn't allowed to ride the trains for sound because of the heavy crowds and security reasons. N.Y MTA has had restrictions on what you can do. Train enthusiasts can get in trouble for taking pictures at certain stations.

Don't know if you've checked the M3 scenarios yet, but they managed to release them completely broken. You put the trains master controller into P1 and nothing happens xd

I don’t think Penn Station has ever been that clean.

im alittle confused so if you bought all the stuff in train sim 2 the m3 stuff aswell is this just an add on or is it a whole new dlc where i have to buy m3 budd again.

Note: Long Island is not part of NYC hence the cleanliness,Rosedale is the start and end of NYC(Queens)
