Route West Coast Main Line: London Euston - Milton Keynes - Feedback

Cheers for the reply.

Yeah, I definitely agree that TV/monitor can make a difference. I do have a pretty new LG C4 though, with a dedicated game mode and LOTS of settings that can be toggled!!

 

Oh its alright, got to help each other out these day. I’ve mentioned the TV/Monitor thing because I had a problem with the TV I’ve used for years a few weeks back which caused me to change sets. A more modern TV and I didn’t like it tbh. Thankfully my old Panasonic was fine and back to using that.

But what I think the main issue could be here is a drop in frame rate to help with game memory, and could be a reason for the errors we see on the new Birmingham Crewe route regarding the issue of layers etc. On older platforms with newer DLCs I’m wondering how bad it actually feels and if freezing or drop in frame rate is one way DTG is trying to get around game memory size.

And hey congrats on the new TV, I do fancy one myself yet I get nervous when thinking how it might affect years of colour matching in LD.
(In LD is where I send most of my time you see)
Any road I’ll give you a shout back at what I experience after playing on the game/route.

I bought the route during the latest sale and have had a few runs up and down. And it runs smoothly for me not had any lag or issues. But equally I have not got the pendolino and a couple of other layers.

Its nice running alongside the Bakerloo line and it seems like there is a fair amount of traffic even without several big layers.

My issue with the route is the 350 is just a bit boring to drive. The brakes are far too powerful and way too forgiving. I just find there's not quite as much to do on this route between stations. The route itself seems well built to my eye although I've only been up the WCML a handful of times.

I did also find a bug that reloading the save game while in the loading cycle does break the doors upon reload. And it tells you to open the doors despite them being open and the cab buttons do nothing. I found the way out to be messing with the guards panel. Which made me late but equally with the 350 physics and braking it was easy to make the time up.

It's a nice route but I'm not sure it's my cup of tea personally. But definitely worth it for the price I paid on sale

 

Hi there just having a quick read of your post. Fair comments and one I’d like to pick up on.

Now I’m on PS5 with most if not all layers for the WCML South. Now the route had no problems until I bought a few extra DLC add on packs. In fact I’d say it all went down hill after the class 86 add on pack purchased. Yet how that would affect another route I’m not quite sure.
So just wanted to add seeing you don’t have many layers. I am not implying that anything said would be a reason for issues some are having including myself with the game crashing. It’s an observation really because the WCML South route was running okay up to the point I added more DLC.

It’s a right pain tho because I still haven’t got to the bottom of it, and admittedly I will say the WCML South must be in good order as I don’t see many users having the same issues of mass crashes. Shame to because I must say that route I did enjoy.
I really eye opener to how complicated the route is to replicate and so appreciated the effort put in by DTG.

✌.

 

So I do have a fair bit of UK Content just not a few of the layers for WCMLS like the Pendolino and the 710? All in all I have 24 add ons spanning 95.5gb.

I'm not sure how that would affect it though because they were meant to have released an add on loader for the game ages ago when the PS DLC limit was out which would only load DLC when it's used and you load up a route. This is meant to be on all platforms now so it's interesting things went downhill after you purchased another add on?
