Loco Tfw Class 142 Feedback Thread

I couldn't see any bay shuttles listed for the 153 when I looked.

Would the single car 153 substitute on services which are normally two car units? I have a suspicion not.

 

I have only had one run so far but I only saw a 150 stabled at Canton. On the British Ace stream there was one class 150 at Cardiff Central but everything else were 142's.

 

I see all the AI except the 153s

 

I've only seen 150s as AI on at Cardiff Central on non-drivable services. Any AI drivable services I've seen has been a 142

 

So just a note for people regarding the 150 and 153 spawning.

We were hopeful that we could get substitutions working like we've done before but it just seems to not be playing ball.

We'll be going through the timetable based on a carriage working notice I was given and allocating diagrams specific stock rather than having it random so at least you've then got a nice variation.

 

I have seen the Ex-Arriva 150’s quite a bit at Cardiff Central and the depot. But no 153’s at all.

 

PC/Steam:

Sometimes the guard buzzer will turn on incessantly when you open a door and you have to open and close it again to get it to stop. Very annoying tbh.

Why aren't there auto announcements, or station announcements, or train faults, or TSRs? Is this not a TSW6 product?

 

My blurred textures are happening when moving along or near to Canton Depot, especially on the Railtour scenario. And as for 150s/153s, only seen 150's at Cardiff Central as well as the respective layers, but no 153's. This is on Xbox Series X.

 

It was stated in the JT stream that this was ready and sent to DTG QA in June, so faults/TSR's/announcements weren't a thing when this was developed. Hopefully these can be added!

 

Ffs. Should have checked here before buying. What was I thinking. Churn out dlc and don't fix any problems. Ps5. Standard service.

 

When I look up close to the loco as soon as I go to external view, the train and scenery are blurred. But after 2-3 seconds, it'll amend itself. But when sat stationary, in pretty much any location, the inside of the train is fine but the outside is blurred.

 

We're planning on looking at train faults but TSR's and station announcements are tied to the route so would be on DTG to implement.

Also regarding announcements for the 142 none were fitted with an automated system so we left our announcement system in place (with a different voice) which we had from Blackpool.

 

It's been borderline on Xbox around Canton even prior to this new layer to be honest.

Especially when you have a lot of stock parked up.

 

Cheers for the insight, Benedict!

 

Have you put the Reverser/DDS in Neutral before pressing the couple button?

 

It looks like the blurring textures is a DTG core game issue. So blaming JT or AABS for the issue is not on. DTG need to look into this issue of up most importance. Maybe the new things added into the game (train faults, TSR, announcements and Signal Faults) are the reason for the memory leaks which is causing the blurry textures.

Manchester commuter was fine until they added in announcements then the blurry textures arrived

 

Blurry textures were around long before those features arrived.

 

They did quite frequently and also Coryton - Radyr. Now 153s run a 2 coach train penarth to Coryton/Caerphilly until the new trains start

 

PC Player.

I've played Pacer and Sprinter services so far on this DLC and seen a variety of both Pacers and Sprinters running as AI in the timetable.

For me at least the timetable appears to be operating as intended.

 

Is there a patch coming for this if so when. Thanks

 

As there's not been anything major we've been compiling a list of things we want to tackle.

I've been going through the timetable based on feedback and adding specific 153 and 150 diagrams rather than relying on substitutions.

 

How about the 1st job in chapter 3 of journey mode. The depot move where are stuck at red signal that will nit change. Same happens in the timetable as well.

 

A few minor issues to report...

I really detest the mandatory once around the Training Centre as part of the Journey mode, particularly as it always switches the track markers and objective icons back on. Just tell DTG to shove it and put the tutorial on the route itself.

I then did 5T00 (which worked okay) and 2T00.
On 2T00 I encountered a fair bit of stuttering and a couple of outright pauses which aren't there running the 150 and 153.
The only other sets on VL services were 142's no sign of any 150's or 153's.
Ought the dwell time at Cathays and Llandaff be 30 seconds, not one minute?
On approaching Radyr I triggered the announcement which promptly proclaimed the train ended there, when patently it doesn't being a service to Treherbert. That definitely needs addressing in light of the decision by DTG to end the route at intermediate locations on most runs.

Overall not too bad so far, it's nice to drive the modernised 142 even if it is the same we could select manually on existing supported routes. Can't say I noticed the sound delay some have reported on pulling away.

So as expected a fairly solid add on, hindered only by DTG's lack of vision for the actual route.

 

Hold up, OldVern is driving a short bus stop route. I had figured you was skipping this one
Jk Vern I’m glad you are enjoying it.

 

Well it's not an electric bus stop... And the 142 is essentially a Leyland National bus on rails so..!
