Route Wcml Trent Valley: Milton Keynes - Crewe Add-on Feedback Thread

Is there mastery for this route.

 

Thanks its not showing on mastey page .

 

Hi, has anyone found all 200 collectibles on the route?

 

All 200? In 90 mins of it being released on consoles and not out on PC yet?

 

first of all, what a ridiculous question, secondly, why would you clog up the feedback thread with this?

 

I dont think so i have only found 7 trains.

 

Playing now on PS5.

1F18 - Euston to Liverpool lime street run.
33 miles away from Crewe and blurry textures in 807 cab appear.

4 miles after it then returns to normal.

 

Is 1D84 a 15 car train (3 805's) is that a real formation?

 

Your comment is making me breathless…

 

1A11 man pic to Euston

textures gone

also the speed set screen is weird to click as it doesn’t work in the “view screen” mode

edit* forgot to say I am in PS5

 

Sorry

 

Why is there a diesel engine start in the cab of an 807?

 

it’s there just in case the 807s get converted to bi-mode in the future

 

That just shows that this is just a reskin then.

 

Do I spot the LNER waves?

 

If it's like that irl why should it be any different in-game?

 

Because they have priced the release at the “new train included” level, when it’s patently just a rework/reskin.

 

807 CTD at Crewe on full timetable.13:21 1A40.
390 blurry textures at Stafford 12:03 1A30
Weather clear both runs. On Xbox series X

 

First attempt on XBox SX was 1A25 390 service from Crewe to MK on full timetable. Spawned in to cab then immediately CTD out of memory.

Second attempt on same service, got 32 miles from MK / 1 mile north of Rugby then another CTD.

Up until then there were a few blurry textures, mainly effecting passing 807/805s and station signage but nothing major. Cab textures were good throughout.

More fool me for being a day 1er on console when you can’t complete a service

All Layers
No Custom Liveries

 

I have no custom liveries, and every UK DLC ADD on. Was playing full timetable.

 

PS5 1U34, slight blurry textures from Stafford towards MK still blurry at Tamworth.

The display setting was on 4K
Will try a run in HD later

 

Crewe to Stafford they was fine, at Stafford they went for a second and came back, after leaving Stafford to Milton Keynes the texture was blurred and did not return normal

 

You expect them to build a brand new train from the ground up when they already have a model available which just needs some tweaking.

 

But they haven’t even tweaked it!

 

Anyone found 3 spuds at dirft for the mastery.

 

You can blame Hitachi for that one, seeing as the actual trains have the redundant buttons included in the cab too.

 

Especially so given I spent money on the 805 addon which is practically the same. Ought to be a discount if you bought the 805. Even if it's only tiny

 

Wasn’t aware of that. If that’s the case then that’s on me, my bad. Are the electric only 801(?) on LNER & GWR like that as well?

 

The 803s and 807s are the only IETs that don't have any engines, the 801s have backups for emergency working. I'd assume for the sake of easy manufacturing that they didn't bother modifying the cab. I also believe that they were left in place for possible conversion back to bi-mode and/or restoration of the emergency engines if needed.

 

trying to use the speed set on the Evero how it was shown on the stream (select screen, select the speed at the top of the screen) and nothing happens when you click. has speed set been implemented on the xbox series x build? in fact nothing on the screen seems to be selectable

 

This is a photo of a a real life Lumo 803 cab (so full electric).
Notice engine start button still included from factory.

 

Yes im using it as we speak

 

Great route but the class 805 is causing problems
it happens on all three routes
WCML South
Birmingham to Crewe
And this route
The issue is when the AI takes over the train we get out of memory
Xbox X

 

Xbox series X
Service 1A11
08.30 Crewe to Milton Keynes
Problem: NPC's on the track about a mile after leaving Stafford

 

Seeing as the Class 805 has out-of-memory issues on Xbox going by previous feedback, it is a real shame the Class 807 services cannot route hop to and from the WCML South at present to represent real world operation. Class 807 timetable definitely needed in the next update to allow same headcode continuity like with the pendelino.

 

When you have two sections of a mainline that link up like this it would be really beneficial to seamlessly transition from PT1 of the route to PT2. This should include the exact timings of the TT. If I pull into MK at 18.05 and it’s not due to leave at 18:07, when I route hop onto PT2 of the route (MK to Crewe) I should be loading into a train at 18:05, not on foot!
This is where route hopping needs a lot of tweaking and optimisation done to it. It’s rubbish using route hopping and I’m on foot in the station hoping the train I just used will pull into the station sometime soon. I should be loading into the train, waiting for it to depart.

 

The 807 wasn't added to the WCMLS on release? Well that's disappointing.

 

have you selected the 805 timetable for wcmls?
