Gwe Remaster: Appreciation And Discussion Thread

Is there a possibility for the blue 2+4 HST to be added as a substitute for the GWR version on the Riviera Line? I believe they used to run as 'classic sets' before the sliding door versions fully took over

 

Yeah I looked down all the listed 47 variants and it just came up with the Flying Scotsman Railtour ECS movements, no Night Riviera.

 

Well I’ve only just surfaced from playing it to say how good it is! Excellent work Liam.
To all devs this is how we want routes to look; BUSY.

 

Anyone else having an issue with layers not showing or have I missed something? Despite owning the content, London Underground services aren’t showing in the timetable. I’ve got layers enabled in both the settings and in the timetable itself

 

You know, to be honest I find it rather annoying. I was driving a 66 service yesterday and it was so loud I had to reduce the notches to subdue it.

 

it’s incredible isn’t it? I’ve just ran one of the 802 services to Paddington from Reading and it’s unbelievably dense. It takes the game to whole new level

 

Restore license on the main menu/Home Screen of PS5, worked for me.

 

Date for the HST farewell dlc please lol.

 

I had this too, restoring license didnt solve it. Deleting mildmay did. Seems to be an issue that occurs when a certain amount of layer DLCs is installed. Luckily mildmay doesn't add too much except some hardly seen AI.

 

The audio improvements on this are impressive. I hope all the remasters have better audio included. I did notice that this varies a lot by route. Cardiff for example (as much as I find the gameplay limiting) has great track sounds and carriage rock, etc.

 

I’m on PC

 

Hats off to Liam and to DTG, this free upgrade is everything you promised.

Paddington now feels properly busy, and when driving peak services you encounter a whole variety of traffic in both directions.

The visual upgrades are wonderful (the 166 in particular looks much better to me) and it runs smoothly on PS5 even with all layers enabled.

The icing on the cake is that passenger announcements on the HST and 166 now work on the Riviera line too.

Now I can’t wait for the remastered East Coastway …

 

Hi DTG Liam really enjoying the remaster thank you it’s incredible! Not sure if they are questions or already something you will fix in patch but 1) will Paddington be fully opened up so there is not the restricted static passenger area ? 2) will there be Waterloo services with midland 158 standing in as south western railway at Reading? Currently only 166 for the Gatwick and redhill on that side but it’s usually busy with Waterloo services too.

 

The London Waterloo services uses Electric Multiple Units in reality on this line. The most appropriate sub would to have a 'fake' Class 450 (a reskin from the Class 350). Although I'm not sure how this will impact layers and performance.

 

Quick survey: do folks familiar with the RL trains prefer the new HST and 166 soundsets, or It'sYa's very good but venerable soundmod?

 

Just done a night service in the 166. Very good, very atmospheric. Whether it's because everything is currently new and shiny but the lights from the oncoming trains just felt like they hit differently. Top quality work.

 

That’s nothing to do with Liam it will be released by DTG when they are ready to release

Not technically remaster related but what will the barrier coaches in the HST Farewell pack be able to couple to? Can't remember if I've asked before or not

 

I thought I heard the TSW6 tune when on foot at Reading Depot. Turned out to be the music festival mastery reward, where new music is playing. Nice addition

 

My opinion of TSW has been quite low for a while now, but credit where credit is due, the GWE remaster is really, really good.

 

Erm, The HST Farewell Pack is being developed by Grump Dog Games, a/k/a Liam.

 

I thought it was
