Hey Justin, on the topic of engines, what ever happened to the NS SD70M notch nose project?

 

[norfolksouthern37]

In 2014 they were shelved when new creation methods and features obsoleted them. There was, at the time, a hold up on information about the cab interior and the dash8 and dash9 models became the primary focus. We will revisit 70Ms at some point and they will certainly be better than anything we could have done in 2013.

They were definitely some of my favorite locomotives both to shoot photos of, work in, as well as play with in Trainz. I just recently got back into the game, so I forward to it, and I still love what y’all are doing. Happy to be a customer after 10+ years!

I wonder if AI and ChatGPT can actually produce the same quality of work you guys do with some skills and knowledge with automation.

I'm sorry man, but posting this comment out of the blue in a thread where some of the most talented creators in any gaming community are showcasing their efforts for us to enjoy? That is... Brutally disrespectful, to say the least. Over the past 15+ years, I've watched the quality of content available for this game progress to a level that I (nor any of us, I'm sure) never could've imagined to be possible back then. And every step of the way, it has been a purely human effort. Never once have we, as a community, required the tools of AI programs in order to realize our visions, nor to push the envelope of what is possible, and there is absolutely nothing to suggest that we are even close to reaching the limits of what can be created for the game before needing AI assistance. It's always been a passion project of people who love trains putting their mind to it. Why do we now suddenly feel the need to suggest doing away with the very thing that makes this game so great? Using AI tools fundamentally goes against the spirit of this community, especially since it doesn't actually fill a hole in content creation. I really don't care how "good" AI content can be; I simply don't want it coming anywhere near this game.
