Route Florida Tri-rail: Miami Airport - Boca Raton

When I change interior cameras on the GP49 the panning is locked up. So when I look at the rear panels I can't move the camera to select anything. The drivers view camera in the F40 feels like it's too far forward and not centered on the seat, just looks and feels kind of awkward. Photo mode is incredibly laggy and I'm getting awful frame rates, and there's an ugly new white control menu at the bottom of the screen, get rid of it! All of this on PS5.

 

The interior camera pan problem is unfortunately quite common on many TSW locos, but I agree still worth reporting and not too great that it keeps presenting even on new locos that are sold separately. Try to adjust the FOV in the settings and see if that helps feeling too far forwards.

 

Put more fast travel points along the route.

 

A few items to bring up with my first run on the BL36PH Boca Raton to Miami Airport. Couldn't complete full trip due to game crash 2/3 way through service. PS5 Pro, all layers enabled on deluxe edition.
-Pretty good sounds overall, enjoying the new conductor in cab talk after doors close, and accurate station announcements on board.
-At notch 8 full power with the BL36PH there is a noticeable clipping of the engine running sound
- Bell on the same locomotive will automatically turn off after about 15 seconds, need to hit bell off button, even though bell sound is not playing, to be able to use it again
-Road crossing just south of Prospect Park industrial sidings has gates down but traffic continues across the roadway anyway
-Unfortunately game was cut short due to crash to main menu at Golden Gates.

 

Hi im playing the Miami route just a regular timetable service does’nt matter witch one i choose and about 2 stations in my game Will crash completly. I am on a PS5 pro.

also the clapper or thong of the Bell does not move on the SD40-2. While it does move on the GP38-2.

 

I had the same crash experiance 2 times now

 

Tried 2 southbound runs now and crashed both times. Once at Hollywood station and the other approaching golden glades

 

With the F40, the safety systems are not activating when you activate them. You hit all of the switches and then comes up that TMS is not active but there is not switch where the TMS is

 

Thats the same on the f40 on boston sprinter.

 

Had the game crash to dashboard on series x while doing the P619 service with the gp49 while pulling into Deerfield beach then again a second time leaving FT.Lauderdale

 

The F40 ph not scoring for using safety systems and dpad does open or close doors.

 

Feedback on the CSX SD40-2:

I love the SD40-2 and play it almosht every time but there are some bugs and inconsistancies that need to be over in the 7th game of TSW. please DTG could you fix this? Im on a PS5 pro.

Lights:

• Why is the brightness of the headlights so different between the SD40 and GP38? Please make them consistent.
• The alerter light does not turn on when it Goes off on the SD40-2
• On the SD40-2 and the GP38-2 Al the light indicators of the dynamic brake handle, notch handel, brake handle and buttons like for example the guagelights do not go on when putting on the gaugelichts. I can not see anything in the dark and have to put the domelight on at night.

• On the SD40-2 the wheelslip, PCS open, brake warn & sand indicator lights do not light up when needed. If you put the lead sand on it does not light up. Aditionaly in the GP38 the player can interact with the indicator light to check it they work that functinallity is also missing on the SD40-2.
• Sometimes when putting on the ditchlights both light series in the font and back of the loco go on when only the front is selected.
• There is Some inconsistency with the dispatcher radio (the one with green and yellow buttons). In the SD40-2 it is on with the text T6 99 99 but on the GP38-2 and the GP49PH-3 there is noting it is completly shut off.

bell:

• On the SD40-2 the clapper/tong does not move when the Bell is on.

Airconditioning:
Please add a working AC on the roof of the SD40-2 and GP38-2 just like in the new GP49PH-3, even if its just copy paste and same sound.

Radio chatter:
On the sandpatch grade you can hear every so ofthen Some radio chatter sounds in the SD40-2 that really give that extra emerition. Please add that back in.

 

Can someone tell me where the alerter switch is in the rotem car I cannot find it anywhere. Keeps telling me to switch it on even tho the settings are to start with safety systems on.

 

Isn't the switch above the drivers-side window? I think I remember it being there, or perhaps over the windshield.

In any case, you might consider just driving for a bit to see if it corrects itself. I started driving the GP38 with safety systems set to on in the menu, but I noticed that the alerter fuse was open. I left it like that anyway and after driving had the alerter go off, so I looked and the fuse was now closed. So maybe it just takes a moment to set itself, who knows?

 

There is no alerter switch it should come on automatically when you turn on the safety systems.

 

Speaking of the GP38, the alerter is very quiet in the cab, and when using an exterior camera the alerter can't be heard at all.

 

I will have to check it out later, the Rotem cars in AVL and SBD both had alerter switches, somewhere. You are correct that it should come on automatically, but nevertheless there should still be a switch somewhere to turn it on manually. And then we can find out if the setting in the menu is broken or if the alerter itself is broken.

 

If you dont mind let me know how you get on thanks.

 

When turning on the bell in the Rotem cab car and then opening the window, the bell audio is drowned out and pretty much inaudible. Should get louder when the window is opened.

 

Had a successful retry run with the BL36PH. Turned off automatic conductor setting and ran without using the live weather option, everything worked great.

 

On the BL36PH when the ATC cutout switch is in the "cut-out" position the game engine thinks it is "cut-in", and when the switch is in the "cut-in" position the game thinks it is cut-out.



As a side note, I can't find the TMS switch. Not sure if it exists or not and currently activating it thru the keyboard shortcut.


Playing on PC/Steam.

 

was wondering the same, thx

 

BL36PH tutorial: Had to do extra laps to the test track because playing the tutorial normally I would not get enough points for the platinum medal.

PC/Steam.

 

The alerter does not appear to work in the Rotem cab car. I was expecting to find something like the TMS switch as in SBD above the window, but it is not there. Instead there is a switch for ATS. So, my guess is that when they implemented the max speed warning they somehow disabled the alerter, and there is no switch to turn it manually on. Perhaps it could still be turned on with a keyboard, but it is also not automatically activated even if you have that chosen in settings. So, you cannot get max points, because you are not using the alerter, because it is broken in the game.

I would also add that, concerning the Rotem, the bell sound is very soft in the cab, really too quiet, and when you switch to external view it stays the same volume when, being outside, it should obviously be much louder.

 

PC (Steam) Version
Journey Mode
The game crashes every time the southbound train arrives at a station.

It runs stably when the automatic function (Train Conductor) is turned off—but why?

 

TSW7 PC (Steam version)
Cypress Creek – Ft. Lauderdale route
At the railway crossing, passing cars and trucks do not stop; instead, they drive right through the lowered crossing gates.
The crossing itself operates normally.

 

I tried with a keyboard and nothing happens.

 

I play with the auto conductor off ..safety systems off they dont work. right or cant find the knobs to turn them on ..and sometimes the passenger doors wont close i have to go to outside camera to close them .hopefully some of this will be addressed ..another thing im noticing is when you put cusor over a knob or button it dont show the slider or settings like example, headlights it dont highlight anymore if you on dim medium or bright you got to zoom in to see or learn position of the knob or button..same with windshiled wiper it usually shows low or intermittant high this is happening on all the routes .dont know if it a bug or they changed something. This is on PS5 controller, there is other things like the knob where you select brake freight or passenger it dont highlight or show it like always did ,you have to go by position of the knob,even the lead trail knob is like that now hard to tell cause it dont show anymore ,its in other trains and routes on TSW 7 if its something new i dont like it. or if its a bug please fix it..

 

I am begin to wonder if this new safety systems on setting broke a bunch of things,maybe instead they should just do a how to turn safety systems on toutorial for each train or have a scenario where it shows you how to properly set them up..and where the knob buttons are located.

 

they probably figured that those who want them on will put the setting to ON and therefore wont be looking if there is a switch or button or breaker for it - the only loco where I have noticed it yet is BL36PH, havent yet checked other locos on this route

like yeah, if the option is toggleable in options aka you have the ability to switch those ON or OFF, there should be corresponding switches available to toggle (even if IRL driver doesnt mess with those)

 

I noticed they have 3 scenarios in the training center now. maybe that would be a good idea they could add a how to set up safety systems and how they work scenario or toutorial in the training center.

 

I mean, I am all for getting rid of fake gamey switches if they give us proper implementations of safety systems in every loco/unit (like in LIRR or Stamford M8) - US diesel passenger locos included (I am looking at you, PTC )... but if it is still a toggleable feature, I want my switches

but yeah, proper tutorials on how to use safety systems would be nice... they could do it with Dutch route (tho it could get bugged if you didnt follow instructions to the T)

 

btw that thing on the left that says sth like Speed target 79 mph... is that sth that really works / enforces anything or just a cosmetic thing that doesnt do anything?

 

The Drawbridge just next to Miami Airport Station should be a Green colour not Grey. Its an pretty big landmark on the route so I hope it Will be corrected (see pictures)

The bell stops sounding after a few seconds, but does not turn off. You have to turn the bell off and back on again for the bell sound to resume.
