Route Thames Valley: Windsor, Henley & Marlow Branch Lines - Feedback Thread

Like I’ve said what makes this route interesting, is the operational quirks of the branches if anything.

Every branch is unique and it’s nice to change ends after a couple of minutes and return and complete full end to end runs on all branches.

At Bourne End, it was brilliant watching the two units depart the station at the same time!





The Maidenhead to Marlow branch is definitely my favourite for scenery!

 

They gave us the option to turn off scenario markers, no reason as to why a similar thing can't be done with the route hopping marker

 

Route hopping markers and Scenario markers should simply be on the same toggle. I would assume most people, either don't mind seeing both visible in the scenery OR they would rather see neither.
Since I am still advocating for some more route hopping points to be added to several routes, I agree this needs to be addressed.

 

For scenario creator, there's apparently no option to add services coming and going off route at any of the mainline stations. I'd love to add something like a Western thundering through non stop at Maidenhead.

 

So when are we gonna get the patch and route mastery.

 

A lot of the feedback on the visuals concerns stuff that is pretty far outside the cab or third person 'driving' view. So they're not really a problem imo.

 

Hi incrediblehannes, sorry for the tag again. The issue regarding the 165 on GWE seems to occur when you start a service with the 165 from Thames valley. This issue results in other 166/165s being 3 or 2 car units which is incorrect. I have tried spawning on foot and this issue doesn't occur, same when I start a Hat service. Hope the information I have mention is useful.

 

It’ll come when it’s ready.

Off topic but, I think an idea for DTG would be to include potential patch/updates on the Roadmap (I know they do to an extent with some updates) as then it would stop the constant questions all the time and then at least “if it’s not on the roadmap” then we know there’s no plans or active work being done on a patch.

 

The drawback being that this will also create new expectations. If they are not met, there will be yet more complaining. Personally I like to be surprised by a patch now and then

 

Any updates on whether the mastery has been fixed so you can see what you need to do to unlock it?

The fact it does not appear on Dovetail Live maybe suggests it partly a DTG fix required?

 

It is, they'll probably add it after rebuilding their website tomorrow.

 

Still not added to mastery i beginning to wonder if there actually is one. incrediblehannes can you confirm if there is one thanks.

 

I'm finding the audio of the boats is far too loud inside the driver's cab. I can hear them even when they are quite a way from the train. Is there a way to make them less audible from inside the train?

Also a proper timetable for connecting AI trains that represent real-world services would be a big improvement for immersion.

Otherwise it's a very nice little route
