Train Sim World 7 - Discussion

Personally I'm not interested in the scoring. But surely just turn the enablement off if it affects the scoring and it bothers you.

 

Wouldn't be surprised, if it's just some automatic script calculating and setting the scoring goals and messes them up colossally. I hope so, because I can't imagine someone activly setting them up manually and thinking "yup, that makes sense"

Personally I don't really care about the score and hide it in the UI.

 

Well yes getting points for driving under the speed limit or for pressing a button seems ludicrous. Surely it should he based on how well you drive and if you keep time.

 

It would be better like TSC with a maximum cap on every run, so you either gain or lose points according to how you do, but never get more than 1000.

 

That's definitely not been my experience - with the safety systems 'on' as a default I've received the safety systems bonus as usual.

 

"didn't make your passengers nod while breaking"

 

Epic is for high end machines.

 

Ok thanks maybe just a one-off then. I’ll try it out on other routes.

 

Definitely something odd with the safety system toggle though, I haven’t noticed any issues with scoring (that I’ve noticed - I keep the AP counter off, but haven’t had unexpected golds or less).

What I have noticed is that the systems are on even before you key in & set the reverser, so you do an AWS test sequence as soon as you spawn, followed by another after keying in. Seems to be fine for the TSW7 units, but so far the HSTs, 90, 150, DRS 66 & 171 have all done that for me. I presume if it’s on all of those, it’s on most others too.

I’ve also noticed with the AI conductor that they’ll only buzz you on TSW7 stock too, nothing from before that (unless it was already implemented). Seems a shame.

 

I actually like the new UI but the text on the Formation Designer page is only readable from about 2 feet away ! …& this on a 42” 4k screen & my eyesight is fine !

 

Encountered a few passenger issues.
At Grantham on ECML, all the passengers appeared on the platform end in one big blob.
At Paddington on GWE remaster, no passengers anywhere. Nobody in the station, All trains empty. HST Service to Reading.

 

Yes, this changed with the day one patch, along with the increase in size for the destination marker (if you have it displayed). I would imagine it's an unintended consequence of one of the day one patch fixes.

 

Bit the bullet, installed the free update and downloaded my UK DLC, also picked a couple of others up in the sale (West Cornwall, WCML South, Over Shap and Flying Scotsman). The UI is horrifically bright. A dark mode can't come soon enough. It looks great in 4K, but I'm playing it safe and sticking to HD on my Series S. It imported most of my completed tutorials and achievements over from TSW6, which was odd. Another odd choice is deciding that we need to get back to the main menu faster, but then the main menu doesn't work properly until everything has loaded in properly, rendering the whole thing a little pointless. I'll wait and see whether the deluxe goes on sale sometime in the future, or pick up Airedale-Wharfdale and the 333 at some point.

I've not done a run properly yet. that's probably tonight's plan. Hopefully activating layers wasn't a mistake.

 

Well, if you think a fix is imminent...
This is the TSW2 menu that Mr Peddlesden said it would involve "too much work" to put right..and to this day you still have absolutely no idea as to where the cursor is when trying to manually alter the weather conditions.

I think it's time to turn attention to TSW 8 aka "The Ocho".

 

This looks like an oversight with not testing the font scaling changes on every aspect ratio...

 

yea its rlly annoying im also on ps5 and the camera movement feels so weird idk why they changed it

 

Ditching the entire concept of diagonal movement might be the most adventurous leap in game input design since the Kinect.
Time will tell if it is as successful...

 

They had to make everything in the UI slightly bigger to pass the Steam Deck certification.
