Re: Pacific Surfliner® LA-San Diego route - FREE!!

Post by 749006 »

When I visited the Warley Model show in 2013 Just Trains had a mini catalogue on their stand which i picked up.
I later noticed that there was a code printed the leaflet giveing me a discount on their products.

If DGT wished to restrict the offer of the Pacific Surfliner® LA-San Diego route to people who managed to visit the Amtrak train day they could have printed a code on the card people picked up.

Perhaps that was the intention Peter-----we only know about the sign-up page because the URL was posted. As far as I'm aware there has never been a direct link from an RSC page so it could be that it was always supposed to be hidden from those without a card.

Pretty good route though at least you don't crawl around at 25mph

I believe someone posted earlier that they put it out on their Twitter feed, so it wasn't entirely hidden. As I say, I think their short term loss may turn into long term gain and for all tg faults we attribute to them at least they ARE in this for the long game with all of the core upgrades and support etc. Imagine if loads of us were still on Railworks purely because we didn't want to have to lose our DLC or buy the game again?

Thanks for the link to this. Saw this yesterday and applied (with a gmail.com email address), received the code and had the game downloaded and running within 24 hours. Like others, I would not have bought a US route, but 'for free' it's great!

And yes I did! :-)

Had a qick run - did the first scenario - not too bad.
Some odd speed limits though ... 79? 44??

And no warning of speeding (good - I always thought 1mph over the limit was a bit hard).

Shame there's not more AI trains, those that are are the Surfliners, but then again, I suppose as
this was an Amtrak tie-in can't say I'm overly surprised.

I believe the "odd 79mph" is you need Cab Signalling to go 80 mph & above.
The reason there are no freights is the game is a standalone - nothing to do with Amtrak - what you have is what was released in October 2013.
If you got the BNSF ES44DC Loco Add-On - http://store.steampowered.com/app/222611/ - it comes with scenarios for the line
And on the Workshop there are quite a few scenarios for freights over the line using the same and other locos.
