Dovetail Games Riviera Line Q + A Thread

Highly unlikely as the 802 is distinctly different in that 801 is only ac with emergency diesel generator where as 802 has full bigger engines and tanks for demands of the unelectrified areas that work

 

I was trying to look for that as well,from what I've seen, if it's correct it looked like the fresh new grey just ballasted look, hope not because it will spoil the emersion along this stretch of line

 

He did say non-diesel.

 

I will be watching very closely for roller coaster track laying.

 

Sorry if this has been answered but if you own GWE, will the HST's be layered in as actual timetable services on Riviera or just free roam? I realize this won't layer in until the 30th

 

One final question. Why has the stream been held back until the Early Access is already out? Most of us who’ve ponied up for the Deluxe version will actually be driving and scrutinising the route for ourselves at that point.

 

I think you've got your timelines confused, Vern. The stream is tonight, early access is tomorrow!

 

My bad… Put my thoughts in a box and store them!

 

Are we still having route hopping in the future or has this been abandoned in TSW6?

 

This is related partly to the Riviera stream,, but more of an overall question on the future of TSW going forward.

My question: Why was trophy/achievement support removed for future dlc content?

DTG haven’t given a proper explanation to why this is, only that the support won’t be implemented going forward. This isn’t good enough, people would like know why.

 

It's not entirely removed. The base game will have a trophy set, only future DLC's won't.

 

The future content is what I meant

Made a quick edit to my post to further emphasise that.

 

Why is the 150 so sterilely clean? Add some dust, cause now she's too toy-like.

 

In terms of service formations, what are the options within the timetable? From the screenshots it appears there will be some 2 x 802 sets, 2 x 220 sets etc.

• Is this the same for the 150?
• Roughly what's the split of services that are formed of 2 sets compared to a single set?
• Are there any coupling or uncoupling activities within timetable mode, such as at Plymouth?
• In regards to the Cross Country services, how did you dictate which services were a single 220 unit, and which were doubled up? As to my knowledge, it seems to be hit and miss generally.

 

One last thing to ask, doesn’t really belong here but no other suitable thread…

What happened to the “exciting (non TSW) titles” which were mentioned up to and during Direct? There has been nothing on these. Are they train related games, or something completely different?

 

Are all services (excluding layers) available on the same timetable on Gen 8, or is it split into different timetables depending on the loco?

 

Is the sea wall accessible to walk along in game?

 

What fixes for passengers are being implemented on launch of TSW6? I noticed that at the start of the 150 demo service, loads of passengers disembarked and I didn't see anyone board

 

My question for this stream is - could you guys keep quiet for just a second? 4 people talking and interrupting each other while trying to listen to sounds and announcements is super annoying.

 

Will there be announcements referring to delays and terminating trains.

 

At 2:02:29 in the stream you showed the voyager exterior PIS panel. I noticed a hyphen in place of the coach letter. Is this something that will be fixed please - I.e. displaying the coach lettering?

 

Can the voyager run with its cab doors open? I’ve seen this in real life before, where a rear cab door was left open and the train was driving as normal

*edit: seen later in the stream the answer is yes. Left this question here in case anyone else who hadn’t seen the stream was wondering

 

The middle screen on the 802 (to the right of the Speedo) didn’t seem to do anything. Is this prototypical please?
