Upcoming Release Train Sim World 6 - New Trains At Newton Abbot!

I mean it’s a ridiculous comparison to make.

 

Talking of trains following on from Matt driving voyager yesterday does anyone have any clarification or guidance for why the 220 brakes were stuck on after Matt had to restart voyager service ?

 

To be honest, the glitch is similar to something I’ve faced a lot with the 350. Wondering if it’s core

 

My impressions of the stream yesterday. Loving the route, that looks good. Timetable also looks good, looks to be very busy.
BUT: train faults were an embarrassing mess. I'll be turning those off for the time being...
Question about those: I had the stream on in the background, so I can't be sure... I saw driver assists telling the player there's a problem. But did it also tell you exactly what to do to fix it? IIRC it didn't. So are we expected to know how to fix these faults by heart?
TSR's: Once again Matt encountered TSR's while driving. I thought DTG said the game would brief drivers about TSR's along the route before the start of every service. I don't remember such a briefing. What's the deal here?

 

Ok thanks

 

Route looked pretty good and the sounds (to me atleast) seemed close enough. However some of the new core features are turning me away from upgrading at this time.

train faults - seem to be completely unrealistic in terms of volume, I know Matt said the engine stalls in the 150 would be dialled back but even ignoring this they still seemed excessive beyond realistic

TSRs - where is the briefing prior to starting the service we was promised? Without this it’s completely unrealistic feature.

This is meant to be a sim but TSW seems to be leaning towards arcade action instead of realism.

ill take the free upgrade next week and leave it in my library until the above are fixed or there’s a 75% sale before I actually get any of these new routes.

 

clearly this part of feature has been removed silently by DTG which is ofcourse is their prerogative, however the question has to be what else has been downgraded since the roadmap which we haven’t been told about? Sorry but it doesn’t instil confidence

 

removing this was a huge mistake, it would have been better not to even have the TSRs, but then a "new" version of tsw would be less and less justified (and even with all the new features it still doesn't justify it because it's nothing that couldn't be added to the tsw5 core)

 

I completely agree, what could have been a cool realistic feature has been turned into nothing more than a unrealistic gimmick in my opinion by the removal of the briefing

 

The route looks lovely, very nice scenery, and great variety of services.

But honestly, DTG need to up their game on random mechanics. Random fauls and temporary speed restriction looks to be suffering from the same problem as random weather has - it ends in rain most of the time. Was there any service during the preview streams where there wasn't a temporal speed restriction (not counting Dresden route, as it was disabled then)? And the train faults... how can it be at this state for release build?

Get inspired by TSG on how to do propabilities correctly, as the BR101 does it just right....

Also having 'work in progress' displayed one day before early access, realy? :-D

 

You remember exactly what I remembered and I asked about it in the Q&A....... unsurprisingly it was not answered

 

TSG have the benefit of focusing their fault system around particular locos, whereas DTG are trying to make a system that works across all of them.

Personally I’ll be keeping both faults & TSR’s off. The faults isn’t so much how often they are (reasonable to expect a train that has an issue with an onboard system, will continue to experience them until it’s been for servicing) but that they obviously don’t play well with TSW’s coding as per last night. I don’t think faults will ever be well represented as the basic reality is that when something goes faulty on a train, it’s seldom a 30 second fix & you’re off again. The gremlin either takes a chunk of time to get sorted out, whatever has failed is left off, or the train is taken out of service.

TSR’s are too basic, the briefing has gone & it would of been nice to see them spiced up abit, maybe a chance for a pway team spawn, or even some props such as rail lengths, pandol bags along the site etc.

 

You dont need a briefing for a tsr, the warning board that should be there will be at least service braking distance from the commencement board or should be, I cant remember from last night if there was a warning board but thats literally all you would need, if that hasn't been implemented then its completely unrealistic otherwise as long as they do a description of what the warning, commencement and termination boards looks like for those who dont know then it should work just fine.
This is for uk, I dont drive anything else so not sure how its implemented abroad

 

From a simulation of reality perspective, you absolutely should be getting a briefing.

 

Hmm not so sure myself. You don't always get one in real life, ESR's will be posted in the late notice case in real life and normally the TSR will be shown in the WON, technically everyone should read the won but many dont lol.
Many times you'll come across them without prior knowledge, that's what the warning board is for as even if its been briefed, you'll never know exactly where they are anyway until you see the warning board anyway.
Like I say im just basing this on the uk, other systems abroad may be more complicated so I appreciate where a briefing might help in them instances

 

Read or not, doesn’t change that it is information given prior.

These features are continuously being added to the game and all but forgotten about, as they never get implemented with enough depth.

 

Yeah I agree with that, if they said it would be briefed then I dont know why they would change it, I dont think it will take away the enjoyment of it though personally.
Its the train faults I dont really see the point of, realistically you'd be unlucky to get more then 2 or 3 issues a week let alone on a trip. Not saying it doesn't happen but its a very random thing and not something that can be simulated at a realistic regular frequency.
Can see it being quite irritating after a while but at least the option is there to bin it off completely.

 

From all the core route previews I watched (with 8x speed) this one looked the best. I'll surely get it sometime after the GWE remaster/update.

 

Very fun

 

It's already been confirmed that Xbox was on an old build and an update should fix it.

 

I know hehehe just showing it off as a mockery of this game that should have really just been a update
