I already own Cologne to dusseldorf thats why I was looking for the scenarios for it mentioned in the ICE3 Manual
It could be that they were removed from the bundled ICE3 and only come with the standalone ICE3 which is fine
but was looking for clarification before verifying cache ti see if any files had been missed in the first download

I think it's a great offer as I don't have London to Brighton yet. 3 new top quality routes for 30 quid.

Christmas discount time I think, I aint interested in Sherman either, I have L2B and the ICE 3, 34.99 for one route naah, wait for the sales me.

Having played this for a year, I cannot help noticing things have become far more expensive. Railworks 2 and 3 were £19.99 for 8 routes (and lots of trains) if I remember correct. We're now at £34.99 with 3 routes. Granted, the game engine is much improved.

I'm really on the fence on how things have developed recently. RSC has a much bigger fixed cost now with the expansion of their staff levels which has led to great improvements in playability. They have to cover their costs somehow but it will take some time to get used to RSC's increased reliance on ancillary sales. I just feel fortunate I didn't miss the boat, because that's what I feel about the situation for potential newcomers.

I was under the impression that Sherman Hill would be out as a separate DLC today. Not true?

Yes, I agree with this.

I would like Sherman Hill and Munich, particularly the latter but for pretty much the first time I'll wait and see if the deluxe version will be in the mega sale.

Incidentally, I would assume the (so-called) deluxe version includes ALL the content from the vanilla 13 release plus Munich plus the ICE3 but I've seen some reports stating the deluxe edition does not include some of the content from the vanilla 13 release. Can anyone say which is correct? Just curious. Deluxe versions normally include all content from the edition they're based. Not sure I've ever seen a deluxe version that removes content.

I can't say from 1st hand experience, but the Steam store page pretty clearly lists just the three routes, and all the pre-release statements from RSC also stated that the so-called 'deluxe' version would not have IOW or NEC. It also looks like the 'standard' edition is no longer available anyway (as I think RSC also mentioned) - or at least I can't find it on Steam.

I do agree that it is a very strange marketing tactic.

Yes, that's how I've been reading it, too. Quite curious.
