Upcoming Release Avanti West Coast Class 805 - Coming Soon!

If already been asked if apologies. Did they mention in the stream on the new timetables would there more or less freight jobs . Thanks

 

There is freight but due to a bug on consoles they not 100% if this is fixed by release so that results in a lower amount. But they will fixed that in a later patch.

 

Thanks mate. Did they say what the bug and what was causing the problem Just curious .

 

Some freight was removed due to performance issues, not a bug.

They also said they will try to restore them, not that it will definitely be the case.

 

I thought free roam means just spawning on foot and then spawning the train you want and setting a route. Then you have the full timetable around you.

 

Yeah, they use the term “Free roam” to mean more than one thing but there is a mode called “Free Roam” that you can select from the route menu instead of Timetable or Scenarios and it is just the empty route for you to spawn trains into.

 

I wonder what the point of this is, especially when you can spawn any train you want in Timetable mode.
I played TS for years on deserted routes, or at best with the same trains always appearing in the same places, so I love that TSW timetable principle (among other things).

 

It’s so you can spawn any suitable trains and not have anything in your way, or you could fill up a yard with wagons to shunt around. It just turns the route into a big playground but I don’t use it much. Spawning a train in amongst the timetable is better.

 

Ah, ok, I see.
Yes, it's good that there's something for everyone.

 

It's not true I spoke to Matt P himself during live stream on Matt plays TV when riveria line released and I'm not the only one had these issues also Matt of train sim society mentions the widely known bugs also

 

What's not true? Check the stream if you don't believe me. I'm not disputing that such issues exist and if you had previously made Matt P aware of them he didn't mention it.

 

Was there more freight then there is now then.

 

Sorry if it’s already been said but does anyone know roughly what time this will come out on Tuesday please?

 

Its normally about 10am on consoles and 6.30pm on steam I could be wrong tho.

 

Thank you!

 

No 6pm UK time. For Germany for example 7pm but you're close

 

Just hope the headlights are a bit brighter then the other 800s. Then maybe I can see where im going in the dark.

 

afaik, the train headlights are not for you (the driver) to see the path ahead
they are for other people outside the train to see that it is coming and in which direction it is traveling (workers on the tracks or even another train)

 

Yes and no! That used to be the case mainly because it wasn’t possible to create powerful lighting with the commonly used incandescent bulbs. Nowadays that explanation is outdated, and trains equipped with LED lights have spotlights that work the same way as those on a car. The driver is still responsible for using them properly and not blinding the surroundings. If you look at a Vectron, for example, it has an insanely bright set of lights.

 

Oh absolutely I know I was watching stream that's what surprised me because at time I was watching the 802 on on that Matt plays channel when I bought it up but definitely known about as a fair few players commented on it but to be honest I'm not surprised I mean only have to look back and see for example the still broken rivet 150)2 from West Cornwall local though only time will tell how 805 performs

 

If you want an accurate representation of modern headlights, just a play a daytime run! The headlights on the 730 & 805 are bright enough to basically recreate daylight!

 

What time is it released

 

On xbox I just download it. And there was an 7gb update for crewe/Birmingham route as well.

 

Thanks i will probably wait for a sale tbf
