. Its responsive traction, dual mode capability, newly captured 2024 audio and sharp Avanti styling all combine to give it a very present day feel. It has been designed to sit naturally within the modern railway and its arrival completes an important part of the current WCML picture." Believe so
These screenshots really go to show how much work has been put into this, and I’m absolutely amazed bu them, unlike the IET’s from DTG. I’m a little concerned with this screenshot though, and it’s the same problem encountered on the other two: The VCB light is meant to go out when the pantograph is raised (which is evident given the line indicator is lit). I really don’t wanna have to point out the same pesky errors this train has incorporated from the other two.
Looks extremely well modelled, as you would expect from these guys. Want it for WCML, but there is no way the console version can take another layer, as it is already afflicted by blurriness and stuttering more than any other route I own.
Do you think we will get the additional 350 variants for wcmls in the 2025 Timetable? I really hope so we can't have /1s doing every single service. Would be nice to have things like 350104 in euro vision livery and 350108 in 'youvstrain' livery? May be possible as aabs did do the btp livery for 350235 on Birmingham Crewe.
I think the Eurovision livery is no more so I don't think it'll appear, but you never know! There's something in me saying there is a small chance the /4 will also appear in game.
AAS seem to have their head screwed on when it comes to detail... I sincerely hope that owners of Crewe to Birmingham will see the new 350 variants layer onto WCMLS. It would go such a long way to compliment the new 805 too. Also it seems they can't win if they do, or if they don't. I was pleasantly surprised that the 805 will also introduce a new timetable for the Crewe to Birmingham route, as they really didn't have to do that. So hats off to them for going that extra mile. In time we may see a 730, although I'm not particularly fussed about that at the moment. Most developers wouldn't even build a completely new timetable this quickly to allow for their rolling stock DLC to layer on to a previous route. Credit where credit is due to AAS, we will have a pre Covid 2019 time table and a post Covid 2025 timetable with the 805 layered on.
I like the kitchen and the fact that the coffee pots are there, always bugged me that they were empty in other trains haha.
After all the question marks that were left after the Bham-Crewe stream (foggy weather anyone?), I'm guessing there was compelling reason not to repeat that if it's not ready. It'll at least give All Ablur Studios chance to hopefully get everything in better shape for release.
DTG would need to give permission. They have done previously for Skyhook, Just Trains and ATS but that's not to say they would automatically say yes for future requests.
I remember in the past Matt said something about not being able to beta test on Xbox until about 2 weeks prior to a release. So I'm betting the Xbox people got to start testing over the weekend and the timetable is making it an absolute blurry texture mess.
