Hmmm.....as usual, I'm the last to the party I suppose. (smile) Happened to stumble across this late last evening...........I didn't even know there was one in the works. Looks like it will be out in a couple days.........probably too much to hope for another "free" upgrade.....(smile)....but looks nice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l89wMgEyIcQBTW.....over at YouTube there are several "First Look" video's that look interesting!! Cheers,

Quick follow-up.............From near as I can tell......it looks like owners of TS2015 may get the added content to bring our install up to TS2016 standards.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Some of the video's look amazing!!!
Cheers,

I hope they've paid some attention to the physics of locomotives in this update.

I hope they've paid some attention to the physics of locomotives in this update. Hey Bruce.... I see you were just in here.... I'm off to bed here....almost midnight!! But yes, I agree... I too hope it will be better. On the bright side....at least they are still moving forward with the development, so there is always hope. I'm anxious to get that Union Pacific Turbine out on a long stretch somewhere......I hope it will be available for a quick drive session. That seems to be mostly what I enjoy doing. Cheers,

It's nice to see someone modelling something other than current GE and EMD diesel equipment. That UP turbine unit looks impressive.

40 minutes to go 42 minutes until the server crashes. I have to same interest in the turbine that I have in the 747 in FSX, but I'm looking forward to the Riviera Line in the 50s with 5 steam engines included. Much closer to the railroading I grew up with than any of the Western Mountain Passes.

Hmmmm.....received the update.....everything says TS2016, however, it appears to me it is still TS2015 as I don't see any new content or any difference. Of course....with that said.....I've only been poking around for about 45 minutes.....but as of now, I can't tell any difference. Looks like I'm being offered a discounted rate to purchase TS2016......so perhaps it needs to be purchased first? Cheers,

Thanks Bruce.....I found that after I last posted. Hmmm.....mixed feelings about some of this but folks make good points on both side.
I'll probably end up buying it again...although I already own most of the stuff coming new. (smile)
It's kind of like Tom said.....The turbine intrigue's me....but something I most likely will not drive very much. Just not my thing usually. However, I'm very much interested in Riviera Line....so to pay the $$$$ for that like plus the new content will make it worth while I suppose.
Ahh..shucks.....just talked myself into it. (smile)
Cheers,

Looks like there are lots of problems with the update and with downloading the new version. I will wait for a day or two.
I've talked myself into buying it over the weekend I guess. 2 routes I don't have, 3-4 new engines + 3 engines updated from the RW2 era for less than the price of a route. We'll see. I may get smart and wait for the Thanksgiving sale.

I went in to purchase the "Upgrade"....however, received a warning from Steam that I already own the program and no new content would be added. Hmmmmmm.....scared me off. (smile) Anyway.....I deleted my install from Steam and am in the process of re-installing........whew......25.5gb. Thank goodness I have a fast internet connection as it still is taking about 30 minutes to re-install. I'll see how it goes.....but I'm still a little confused on what I should have and what I'm missing. At least with this download, it is showing as TS2016.....so we'll see. Cheers,

That's normal because you already own the sim and Sherman Hill. You won't get extra copies of those but you will get what you don't have. I would still recommend waiting a couple days though, till the bugs a re squashed
