Out Now Train Sim World 2 - Island Line 2022 : Br Class 484 Out Now!

Its broken!

The first scenario the train derails before you reach the stop marker.

Quite frankly I'm starting to become somewhat annoyed with these derailment issues.

How come this wasn't picked up before release?

 

How come ?

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

I've deleted tsw2 and I'm waiting for it to download again. I am hopeful that this might solve the problem.

 

Fine on my PS4 version

 

I've had no issues with the first scenario on PC tbh.
Only thing I'm not overly comfortable with it the rate of acceleration in notch 1 is this accurate does anyone more knowledgeable know?

 

I'll take that back it was a problem at my end.

Highly impressed with the update to iow.

 

When you are in service mode sometimes it will not let you should let shanklin

 

Love the sound, the route is better by far, and oh....sparks!!!! (Not Ron and Russell Mael)

A big update that puts some life into the route..........Well done Rivet!

DTG as the sparks have been implemented into the game, is there any work in the pipeline to add them to other 3rd rail routes?.

 

Been enjoying 484 so far, a welcomed release of a great loco add on. Particularly liking the number of control options available in the cab and passenger areas.

 

Went into Steam, and doesn't seem this manual that they mentioned in the intro is in there yet. Would love to read about the safety systems available.

 

Just had a play with this , I’m very impressed . Well done rivet

 

I have a feeling deep down in my bones that we may be seeing it in a future title that may or may not go by the name
>TRAIN SIM WORLD 3< But keep that to yourself. ;P

The horns are a bit glitchy when using keyboard and controller at PC. Is there any reason to use the safety systems? They don't seem to work.

 

Just a minor thing. Would it be possible to add the Union Flag livery to the front of the hovercraft to make it look more authentic?

 

yep doesnt seem to be live on Steam yet but here is the link

I don’t believe the route has AWS in reality, so most use for safety systems would probably be on scernario planner

 

Right Im mightly peeved off right now. Took advantage of the 10% preorder from the off and never thought to check later to see if there was any better deals but now Ive found out via the rivet forums that I could have got both the original and new version with a 20% off bundle. Talk about leaving a sour taste in my mouth. Way to treat your loyal customers I think not.

 

It was also mentioned in the preview stream that there would be a bundle

 

Yet nothing in the DTG articles, we dont all have time to watch every live steam from start to finish you know,

 

Just be glad you get a pre-order discount. No launch discount on PS5 anymore so reason to buy it straight away since I'd need to uninstall something else just to play it. May as well wait until the DLC limit is fixed (TSW3?) and by then it will be cheaper!

 

What no live stream?

 

think there may be technical issues
One was on now it’s gone from live

Edit: now there’s 2 gone

 

Could only happen to a Rivet route

 

A very good first impression. GJ Rivet. And the water looks very good at last.

 

Rivet worked well. They rise in my esteem.
Good work.

 

At Sandown when walking up the steps saw a group of people buried up to their shoulders into the steps. Took a screen shot, but do not know where to find it. Went back into use my Bandicam and now, no people sunk into the steps.

 

I think you can access screenshots via the TSW page in Steam under your games. Otherwise they seem to be buried away in a very obscure place.

Anyway currently watching feedback on this route with interest. Seems Rivet might have upped their game, finally. Just that it's so short...

 

It's good, and the train is modeled very well with lots of functionality - impressive work Rivet - props when you get it right!

 

No, It looks like you’re right. There are no magnets.

Anyway, so far it’s promising.

 

I played it for 10 Minutes now, only for testing and the first Impressions are good. But i found a few things in the first Minutes that are a little bit disappointing:

Passangers standing on Plattform when leaves the Train



I think the Hovecrafts missing some Textures or their are not very well textured



Acceleration Sound of the 484 sounds a bit strange. When i put the Power to Notch 1, she sound is too loud and does not represent the feeling of a moving train. If you drive the 484 at higher Speed the Sound is much better.

The Route Instruction Tutorial tells you not what collectables can be found on Isle of Wight 2022

 

How do you open the guard panel.When i access the slider option A my controller won't move the slider to open it.

 

You have to unlock it with a key first, there's a hole on the top left

 

My eeeeeyyeeeeesss....Wait....Rivet Games Have actually pulled out a great DLC for once? Holy cow, I didn't actually think I would enjoy this DLC this much, wow, nice Job Rivet Games

 

Jasper_Rivet - this is your best work yet. Luzern was good but this is another giant leap forward.

If I'm honest it's not really my sort of route BUT I'm loving it.

Couple of things I've noticed - 1 if you use the short cut keys to turn the AWS on you have to do it twice even though the notification says it's now turned off it's actually turned on and vice versa.

Also at Harding on the platform there's big 5mph signs when heading towards Shanklin (I assume for the passenger crossing directly after) but the line speed is 15mph. Not sure which is right

 

Although I didn't see the distinctive AWS magnets in the track in the preview videos, I certainly saw TPWS devices.

1. Do I understand correctly that AWS and TPWS are just scenery and don't really work???

2. Is it true that AI trains run without drivers

3. Is it true that AI trains have red end-of-train lights on at the front?

4. I also noticed in the preview videos that semaphore distant signals are always displaying a caution aspect, even though the semaphore behind them displays a clear aspect. Is this a bug or does it work similarly in real life??

I think this is a general problem with TSW2 and not with this particular add-on. While on busier routes it doesn't catch the eye, on branch lines, it really spoils the immersion. A train leaving Shanklin or Seaford should leave an empty platform behind it, as all trains from these stations are going in one and the same direction. No passenger has any reason to wait for the next train.

5. By the way, in the Island Line 2022 add-on, do all passengers also disembark at the origin station at the start of the scheduled journey as is the case in, for example, the East Coastway DLC?

 

1. no, if aws magnets are present then it (should-i haven’t checked this yet) work as intended, just they are non on Isle of Wight (as intended). As with TPWS instructions are meant to be in the manual (I haven’t looked yet)

2. I have noticed them do that but they shouldn’t

3. must admit lights are a bit dodgy set-up around 80% of the time they seem to be fine

5. I believe it’s a bug related to rush hour passengers, though I don’t recall actually seeing passengers already on the services to start with (of the ones I’ve been on)

 

Liking this dlc a lot so far. 484 handles well, nicely detailed cab with lots of buttons to press and switches to throw, all of which are pretty intuitive.
Scenery is well done and water ( Solent ) looks pretty good.
I only have two questions:
Is the fast acceleration in notch 1 accurate?
Which of the 4 safety systems are actually operative?

 

I've noticed when finishing a service, the turnaround service leaves in 2-3 mins. The AI appears to take over (it turns on the headlights and opens/closes the doors at its departure time); but no AI driver appears in the cab and the train goes nowhere

 

Shame they won't fix Cornwall

 

And this is why, despite the possible appeal of this revamped IOW, I will be holding out for the moment. It’s time to draw a line in the sand (literally in this case!) so that Rivet - and DTG for that matter - get the message that fire and forget is no longer acceptable.

 

I totally liked the way Rivet let the community look behind the scenes in their YouTube DEV Diary videos.
How is the developer's view of the route with some "look over the shoulder" when using the tools to create the route/content we all enjoy?
What are the challenges in grabbing the sound of the loco and implement it with the editor?

Stuff like that

Something DTG might consider doing in the future, too?

 

AWS although there is none on the Isle of Wight route does in fact work on other UK routes

I gave up, everytime I went live it went Nope! I ended up watching your stream.
But thats how it is.

Watched a bit of the stream last night and the route seemed pretty good but have a couple of questions.

1. Rivet originally put lightning into the weather system but DTG made them take it out as it was said to trigger fits? Is this really the case? I have a friend who suffers from this but said to me it has to be really bright strobe effect lighting and then you have to be staring right into it. Was the lightning by Rivet that bright then or was it more of case that DTG didn't want it in because their routes haven't got it?

2. Someone asked on the stream if they could put the union flag on the Hovercraft as it is in reality only for the excuse coming back saying they couldn't because of licencing, er really? Are you saying the union flag is licenced? Someone must of earned a fortune at the recent Jubilee celebrations if this is the case.

I stopped watching after this.

 

Strange how they hold the licence for the stars and stripes as this appears on all US locos but not the Union Flag (or should it be Union Jack as it's on a maritime vessel?)

 

Ah yeah, didn't think of that.
