Re: Albula line from DTG/Thomson
It does look nice but I think I might wait until other locos and stock are available for the route.
It is a slight shame it's set in very modern times as Filisur has now lost all it's charm.

Re: Albula line from DTG/Thomson
I spent a weeks holiday in Switzerland in 2008,& 1 of the included tours was a Trip on The Glacier Express,we were in one of the Panorama coaches,you got wonderful views out of the windows,only thing it must be the worlds slowest express train.

The route and the rolling stock appear very poor graphically...

I disagree. I think what you are seeing is the compression put on the screenshots for the blog.titti41 wrote:Seriously?tycoonkid9 wrote:Read the new article about the route. Thomson route easily wins. http://train-simulator.com/world-heritage-spectacular/

I'm sure when you finally acquire it, you'll find it is as high-res as anything made by Thomson.

New pic from Facebook. Expecting some more variation with the GE 4/4 III, many of them wear different liveries.

Some other rolling stock would be also quite nice - not every train is the Glacier Expresstycoonkid9 wrote:New pic from Facebook. Expecting some more variation with the GE 4/4 III, many of them wear different liveries.

Re: Albula line from DTG/Thomson
Agreed. I hope they will be provided as separate DLC, such as the GE 4/4 II, even be new articulated trainset, Stadler GTW ABe 8/12 "Allegra" and ABe 8/16 rail cars, and countless more relevant to the line such as the ABe 4/4.
Also there's a great new screenshot just added to DTG FB.

Re: Albula line from DTG/Thomson
Yes and did you notice the panto "dip" , following the conductor as it entered the tunnel
Everything good, except perhaps the panoramic coaches which look just a touch "plastic".

Re: Albula line from DTG/Thomson
It does look fantastic,though I maintain what I originally said that it does seem to lack that wow factor that WHL and Trent Valley had,it does still look fantastic,and there'es no doubting how hard it must be to build that line..

Re: Albula line from DTG/Thomson
It looks like it suffer from a similar issue to Munich - Garmish and to a lesser extend the Three Corner route in that TS is really bad at rendering mountains. They are so big yet the object and texture draw distance is so poor (relative to their size) that big mountains often, just like the they do in the trailer, look like really fake featureless lumps with awful texture.
If only all problems on the big railway could simply be TAB'd past...
