Dovetail Games Morristown & Hoboken - Dover Q & A Thread

You gonna put a link in for the stream.

 

Will this route and the core be demonstrated in a more complete and professional state than seems to have been the case with Dresden to Leipzig?

How far off is this content from being complete or will it be launching with updates to follow (maybe).

Are the traction sounds sourced from the real thing or are we getting the TSC Class 455 sounds recycled yet again?

Along with MN and LIRR another New York route which skirts around what people really want and would light your LAMPOIL white hot for sales - the New York Subway! Yes we know there are permissions and access issues but please assure us you keep digging away at MTA as it didn't discourage TML from their WOS4 or the various representations in BVE and Trainz.

Finally, would someone please have the decency to answer once and for all the question, will TSW6 be offering more than the current single save game slot? Who do we have to buy a pint for to actually get an answer on this point?

 

Didn't realise sorry Harry.

 

I hope not that's my entertainment for the evening

 

Can you show screen mode working on the console version, or clarify that it now works as it should?

Also, this needs pinning I think.

 

Will single unit arrows III be included for this route?

 

how much wil gen8 console be getting

 

This is from the TSW6 FaQ

• PS4/Xbox One - No additional AI service layers will appear in the schedule for these platforms. All ALP-46 services have been removed. The ALP-46 will still be available to play in Scenarios.
• Xbox Series S – You will get the full experience
• PS5, Xbox Series X and PC - You will get the full experience

 

How much of the route between Kearny and Penn Station has been reworked, and has any changes been made to Penn Station itself?

 

Have the signalling and safety system issues that plague NEC Trenton been resolved? Boston-Worcester was wayyy better, so i'm hopeful, but this would also impact the upcoming NY-Stamford section of the NEC, so it would be great to have official confirmation.

If so, less of a question than a plea to give Trenton one more signalling/timetable pass (and pretty please add layers from the new route)!!!

Otherwise i'm hyped for the route and looking forward to the stream next week!

 

We can’t wait to show you guys the Morristown route

 

Will we be able to go to Morrisons

 

Poor PS4 Players... If you buy the Deluxe version you get a few scenarios only for ALP-46.... I dunno why they support Gen8 now.....

 

i read that and lezipg was the same at the start but on that route we only get one train so i wondered if its the same here

 

Since services from my knowledge are pretty long, will you split up some services like on the metrolink routes?

 

Can't wait!!! Arrow III (or similar vintage American EMU) has been on my wishlist for a long time- very cool stuff!

 

Not a question but, considering who worked on the signaling and timetable, I'm expecting to be suitably impressed by this route.

 

Ironically this route could turn out to be the sleeper hit of the three, particularly if the EMU sounds are good.

 

Hi guys,

What rolling stock will layer onto the route?

Thanks.

 

Can we have a look at all the services we will get with the route? Matt showcased this on the LIRR commuter (but not for Leipzig Dresden), so it'd be nice to see it done here.

 

I did the signaling and will be on the stream next Wednesday. We have some excellent source materials so I was pretty much able to recreate the signal system exactly as it performs in real life. Not often do I have such detailed source documents, but when I do, I put them to proper use.

There's a clear distinction in duties between signals and safety systems. I had nothing to do with safety systems, only the actual signal system.

 

Could this possibly become the best US route ever?! The route itself is stunning in real life, and although I'm not a huge US fan, I'm definitely curious now, Brandon. Thanks for all the hard work what you build is always fantastic. I'm really looking forward to the stream this coming Wednesday!

 

This is fantastic news! Thanks for the update!

 

Yes we will go over in details all the services that are included with the route, with deluxe and with layers

 

Will we see freight on the underpass after the North River Tunnel Portal and elsewhere where applicable?

 

You have to remember that this is a commuter line. Any freight will be incidental, sporadic and mostly in yards I would imagine.

 

I’ve been asking a lot about the way the Arrow 3 cars looks so close to each other than in real life. Has that been fixed to look exactly in real life Arrow 3 with the cars with the black barriers with passenger go through the cars

 

I think I answered this before. That capture was from early on development.

 

Will the electrification be correct? New York - Trenton for example is 12kV in real life, but set to 25kV in-game

Will there be working neutral sections?

 

Why no Comets? IRL there is mostly singl-level cars.
Will you fix the Penn Station?
Any sound improvements for the ALP-46 and cabcar?
Does ALP-46 no raindrops fixed?
Will ALP-45DP get some instruction to switch power mode during timetable services?
Some notes about layers for NYT.
I still think that Arrow III has wrong color. IRL they are more bronze than silver.

 

If there is a small freight schedule like on the San Bernardino line or in Boston Worcester, then we can assume that they will be. I would like to hear the answer. Let it be a small number of trips

 

Why will the big Intermodal yard in the east of Secacus empty?

And why is there no other freight on that route?

 

When will we get back the fast moving external camera on consoles, that we had till the release of TSW4 two years ago.

 

if they add Freight on this route, it will all be static or random Ai in areas that won't be accessible to the main route.

 

Shouldn't this thread be pinned? Q+A threads usually are.

 

You cannot be more wrong with that. That's because of weathering and the fact the cars have been here since the Late 1970s. The rust and weathering gives off the illusion of bronze, but in reality the cars are completely Silver

 

You say they were silver in the 70s and now they're bronze. Where am I wrong? The route is clearly not about the 70s. And the rolling stock must correspond to the time period, and not "just arrived from the factory".

We already have enough rolling stock that looks like toys - without a single speck of dust or scratch. Let's continue! In reality, nothing gets dirty or damaged for almost 50 years of operation!

 

Will this route also be buggy, have texture issues and constantly crash?

 

Good morning,
One question is if there would be amtrak or lirr services?
Is there a route hopping with other routes?
Will updates on the locomotive on this route be updated for previous routes as well?
How much track is there for alp 45dp when using diesel power?

 

Oh will there be development for the EMD GP40FH-2. As it was used before to pull passenger trains, they are also used to move stock to and from places such as yards and shops for nj transit in today's age. When growing up in new jersey I would see the emd GP40 all the time at transit stations, I would very much love to see this as a future dlc it would be very nostalgic as well

 

I hope so that would so cool

 

Yes

 

To elaborate, yes, Amtrak is playable from Penn to Sunnyside, and LIRR is AI only.

 

Yes it would be!

 

These locos have long been retired from NJT. The only way you would see them is in the unlikely event of a " diesel legends " type project. Chances of DTG doing something like that are close to zero..

 

I'm excited about the release of the Morristown Route and have one question. I was never able to get my RailDriver device to work properly with TSW5, experiencing juddering with the levers, and I'm wondering if I can anticipate similar difficulties with TSW 6, particularly the Morristown Route.
