Just purchased this new route, and so far so good. Just a couple of points I have picked up. 1. I think I'm at Man/Pic and noticed two seats joined to gether on platform (see image). And is the scrolling text on the destination supposed to be that small?. more in the center and abit larger would be nice.
Just done a weekday Pendo service (forgotten the headcode) but was Picc to Stockport between 8am and 9am. SPAD at Stockport and about 10 yard short of the actual stop marker when it happened and the signal was a few yards in front of that.
yeah, coz they aren't clever enough to split them. don't know why they're bothered TBH they've already abandoned every other game with broken unobtainable achievements so why should this one bother them
Is the a reason other traction (purchased) cannot be spawn in free roam and timetabling like other DLC ?
Timetable 9:37 (1z90 Piccadilly to Euston ) Manchester service with a Class 87 in conductor mode doesn't move after the doors are closed not the AI drive is in the wrong cab at the front of the set. Train remain in platform
IT really has hope if it gets extended to crewe and or macclesfield. Bu too know its great graphics with a few fixes needed
The scenario 'Stockport Shuffle' has issues with the DRA and door controls on PC. The only way to operate the DRA is to use the mouse, the 'Page Down' key binding does not work. I also encountered this on timetables. Door controls in the drivers cab do not work when you try to use a mouse to click on the buttons, you are stuck having to use keyboard buttons.
The other iterations of the class 66 only layer in as substitute for the RHTT services (for which you need that DLC). Ironically, those are also the only services that count towards the Tier 2 mastery.
Found this floating asset inside longsight depot. I forget which track, but it's on the far right side when you go inside after spawning in.
There's an issue with Mastery on PC/Steam. On Tier 2 you are required to complete 4 timetables in a class 66 however mastery for the route does not recognise them yet the June master challenge adds the distance.
Being that the 66 included with the route is for some reason it's own separate entity compared to the other 66s, I wonder if the tracking for that mastery is only tracking against the "original" 66s.
Bought it today and its literally unplayable on PS5. As soon as i spawn at Longsight Depot or driving past it the game crashes instantly. First time i'm thinking about getting a refund...
Try some other services then. For me it runs just fine on PS5. 4k graphics, all layers enabled. Edit: no CC liveries or something like that. Maybe that makes a difference.
So after a bit of trying some things, it finally worked! I had to reinstall the Route, reset Dovetail Live, restarting the Playstation and restore the Licenses. First few test runs were sucessfull. First a ride as a passenger. Then fast travel to Longsight Depot. After that spawn on foot at the Depot and lastly starting a service from there. Hope its all good now...
What a fantastic route this is btw. Ultra detailed and super immersive. Just wondered if we might be getting some bridge reverb though? Sorry if this has already been raised!.
I have a big request for modding experts. Can someone create a mod to replace the class 323 on the Glossop line with rolling stock from the suburbs of Manchester?
I don't often buy routes new, but the early 20% discount and good reviews prompted me on this one. Good scenery, good traffic and varied timetable. My feedback A Northern branded 150 or 158 would have been really nice - could have been used for more AI traffic at Picadilly too. More passengers, particularly on the through lines at Picadilly. During the week these are often crowded. Another route crying out for Class 220/221 in XC colours. Ubiquitous at Picadilly. I hope this will be a feature of TSW6 and will layer in here.
PC Player - Steam 4M95 Weekday Service - Class 66 Freight 09:41 Departure Starts at Wilmslow. Signal MS4131 never clears from red Train does not appear to have any instructions for 4M95 service?
Another DB red Class 66 copy with a broken parking brake indicator. Please fix the base loco before copying more and more DB red Class 66's with broken parking brake indicators, with all due respect, but how are you not seeing this even after numerous copies?
PC Player - Steam 4K80 Weekday Service - Class 66 Freight 21:04 Departure Starts at Manchester . Signal MP382 never clears from red Train does not appear to have any instructions for 4K80 service?
Had a weird issue when guarding a TFW Llandudno to Manchester Airport service where after East Didsbury the game still thought that tickets were from Manchester Picadilly. Also it still said there were 3 tickets to check from East Didsbury even though there were no actual tickets left to check. It didn't seem to dock points for missing tickets though.
Manchester airport route I think it was my fault as left Levenshulme a bit early Headcode 2H43 It’s the weekday timetable option And service time is 09:12 The class 150 went past and seems was changing lanes it sent the 323 flying it clearly had a green signal again was early setting off so probs that reason See link https://m.facebook.com/groups/tsw4game/permalink/24379138715053404/?
5K12 longsight to crewe 0511 leaves you facing north towards Piccadilly with an instruction to stop at picc platform 4. asides facing the wrong way for crewe i cannot get any signal clearance towards piccadilly
You have to manually align the switches for leaving the depot. If you "contact the signaler" it will tell you "denied check the switches". Easiest way to do that is the 2 D map. Ran fine after that.
thanks, it worked but may still be a bug as i have set manual junctions to automatic turned on so should already be set
I'm on PS5 and have had the same issue. Points set to automatic in the settings but have to manually change them. This happened on a American route in the past.
On PC: the track shadowing on plain track still seems to be curtailed when compared with other routes that have the new track shadowing implemented. Are you sure this got sorted in the recent patch?
Really enjoying this route so far. It looks really detailed and you can tell a lot of effort has gone into it. It’s great that the timetable makes use of lots of DLC, I love being able to use the 350, 150/153 and 158 in it, makes it feel more alive. Although it does feel like there are a lot of missing speed boards/warning speed boards. Here are some bugs I've spotted... Class 323 battery charger light goes on and off with the cab light. Class 323 passenger door buttons do not illuminate in the front and rear coaches, only the middle one. Unit Swap scenario – at the sidings at the start, the pantograph is down but line light is illuminated, went on the main line the pantograph is raised. Class 87 timetable run – you get routed onto the slow line after passing Longsight depot and there is no warning of the speed reduction to 45mph (until the signal before the points). 40mph speed reduction warning board before Styal is missing an arrow to show it only applies to the airport branch. Missing 40mph speed boards when departing the Airport station. Missing 60mph speed board on approach to Piccadilly (there is one, but well after the 60mph speed applies). No warning of speed reduction on approach into Stockport. After departing Stockport heading south, there is no 60 and 100mph speed board.
the 45mph speed reduction at longsight on to the slow line is as per real life, there is no board. the only way of knowing in real life is though your WTT prior to your trip if your routed to the slow line so you would be expecting it. unfortunately we don't have a copy in the sim.
I'm hoping over time when new DLC comes out they will go back and tweak so the layers are more authentic.
5K12 longsight to crewe 0511 managed to run it through however it wont end the scenario after all objectives completed also the next service it forms is 2K12 to stoke at 0535 not the ECS move to crewe also noticed a bit of dodgy point work in longsight yard, took a pick and tried to upload but it said file was too large at 5.1MB
Had a problem with the 2H89 Macclesfield to Manchester Piccadilly timetable today. On the last leg between Levenshulme Platform 2 and Manchester Piccadilly Platform 4 very narrow passage, train collided with 390. Managed to get through a couple of times, but managed to record a video of my train going off the track due to the collision. Spoiler: YouTube Video I confirm, but I did manage to get through. You need to either drive slowly or try to drive at maximum 45 km/h up to the limit and then turn on P4 very quickly when the limit changes to 75 km/h.
Xbox series X class 390: some of the carriages don’t have any gangways, pictures below of the error and head code; same issue is also on the class 378 on wcmlS
I would say that if you are in a depot/yard, it is always best to go into the 2D map and check the switches on your set path. The auto set junction box in settings does not always work.
I’m sure there is something not quite right with the signalling. Going to Manchester Airport I’m sure Longsight Jnc is approach controlled or flashing yellow approached?
There are a few junctions that are missing the correct signalling sequences unfortunately, some are there though. Not great if you want to play hudless. I've a feeling we may not see corrections to this, as it probably mucks up the timetable to sort it, I think. You never know though. Apart from that, still enjoying this excellent route.
it rather ruins the experience for me unfortunately. and as for the timetable, it’s not that intense to begin with!
