Loco Avanti West Coast Class 805 Add-on Feedback Thread

Bug on PS5 on WCML Birmingham to Crewe 805 timetable causing Middle coaches of the Class 390 to spawn the wrong way around

 

I believe that's because at Crewe they change to diesel to go on the North Wales coast line.

 

The running sounds seem way too quiet to me. They were a great deal better on the GWR 802.

 

It does seem so quite you cant hear anything.

 

Doing timetable run on crewe and the rear lights are not switched on. Do I have to run down and switch them on or should they be on. Also going london bound and the front pantograph is not the rear is that correct.

 

It's definitely much busier on the passenger side but at the cost of basically no freight services. Swings and roundabouts I guess
I could have sworn there was talk of railtours on the WCML South timetable though.

 

It's a touch disappointing to have the 3 WCML South freight focused DLC and then not be able to reap their benefits with the 805, I know it's a very first world problem.

 

On birmingham crewe original timetable they was 36 freight jobs on the 805 timetable 8 jobs.

 

I can't understand why they weren't included unless Skyhook said no but I think they have used them on Birmingham to Crewe.

 

Ps5 Pro.
A popping sound appears every now and then when applying power and braking. like an audible click. It seems to be random and not at specific speeds.

Unfortunately, blurry textures are back too, both on the Birmingham - Crewe and the line to Milton Keynes.

I think you have done a really nice job in general with the dlc, so I hope that an update can reduce/solve the problem.

 

Issue that I have found is that when changing the cab announcement setting, on the 805 it doesn't actually change in game (Xbox Series S)

Also is their no Class 710/3 on EMK 2025 Timetable? Not an issue but thought i might ask.

 

That was on the default timetable back when DTG were fixing it, this timetable was originally done by Fawx (a modder) I think

 

Been playing this a lot today on the ps5. Mostly the Euston to Milton Keynes route. Really enjoying it so far with the new improved timetable! Something minor that used to annoy me on the original TT was the southbound non stop Avantis at Milton Keynes always used to stop at a red signal but now they seem to go past at speed!

 

Seconded. Although I’ve noticed the ‘popping’ in normal running on both WCMLS and Birmingham-Crewe. Not as noticeable as the 802, however.

 

Iv got one issue it says on the scenario for Edinburgh it's out of memory and crashes the game on this service on Xbox series X

 

First drive of the 805 on my PC. Got it just past 1300 EST, which is 1000 PST, when Steam releases. Drove the 1B34, an up service from M- K to Euston and all was going great until I stopped at Euston. Opened doors to let the people off and when I got the "Lock Door" message did so and confirmed that the doors on train were closed, but the game would not recognize this so could not complete the service. I even tried moving the train closes to the bumper post.

 

I had similar issue but I had arrived a little early than the timetable so I had to wait until the time it was scheduled to arrive and it completed the journey

 

Dampener on stock,

Wcml - South

1st service incorrect.

Holyhead / Blackpool - gained coaches at Crewe but doesn't call at Milton Keynes Central last stop Stafford then straight to Euston.

On screen note unlock doors, if it was a true thing then surely you would just set the train up & drive like former Great Western Express. Has you would be driving not picking up or dropping off passengers to symbolise running between Milton keynes Central & London. Same with upcoming Trent Valley arriving at Milton keynes Central I wouldn't be expecting to unlock doors.

 

Thanks, forgot about that happening sometime. Will go back to mt last save and do it again.

 

I went back and came into Euston again from my last save. Once I got the "Lock Doors" message and I did so, I waited until the actual arrival time, and it still did not end. So, this tt service must be a bit bugged. I did get an "Objective Complete" when I stopped at the bumper post.

 

Yeah that's a known issue they spotted too late to fix in time for launch;

I assume it'll be fixed at some point

 

Just had my first run on WCML South, and they are the same issues I’ve encountered on PC. Nice run on 1J32 1800 Euston to Chester, arriving +1 at Milton Keynes Central.

Apart from the above issues, the livery and the cab is excellent. I love the 80x class anyway so always a Day 1 purchase with the new timetables too.

8/10

 

No Crewe to London Euston services on Birmingham Crewe 2025 TT?

 

I couldn't find any and freight is crappppy as well 8 jobs come on.

 

Just a small one, the WCML:S timetable seems to have an internal date set as 2024 not 2025. The B2C one is set correctly as 2025.
