Finer Details

Just wanna know whether some of the small details of the azuma will be present, eg the destination boards and perhaps even the seat reservation indicators. I imagine the seat indicators wouldn't be too hard, using a randomiser to show each seat's status and perhaps if there was a guard scenario for this route we could remove passengers from a reserved seat if they don't have the right ticket... Also will the cafe car and toilets
be accessible?

 

From the Dev screenshots both are definitely modelled but i dont know if they are functional. Maybe its just the stage of developement or that the train is powered down? Certainly the missing seats suggest the development stage but one month from release? Hopefully these are from much earlier.....

 

I really hope the outside PIS boards are working, I don't see why they wouldn't. They work in most trains that have them in TSW.

 

I wouldn’t get hopes up knowing DTG form it will be the usual laziness of automatic destination setting to avoid having to actually do work and make it so we can actually set destination and enjoy further immersion just like we could with the 377 and 387 on Brighton mainline

 

That 801 doesn’t have any seats inside, so must be still finalising all the modelling

 

I'm not bothered if it has automatic destinations, as long as the screens actually work visually. Manual setting would be preferred though.

 

It’s like everything let’s see how it goes and how many bugs there are

 

hope so

 

I’m really confident outside PIS boards will work as it’s the case for the Class 395 by exemple or the M7A

 

The seat reservations not working is not too major but the exterior PIS not working would be a large disappointment.

 

Yeah seat reservations aren't that big but i reckon it would be a nice and (relatively) simple touch to a *hopefully* great unit, just adding that touch more realism.

 

Hoping they model the full functionality like the stops and times not just the destination, but yeah i think its pretty certain there will be some functionality, dissapointing if not.

 

It’s the case for the 377, 387 or the 395 by exemple I’m sure they’ll do it of the Azusa as well, what a shame if not.

 

Well we know DTG....

 

but yeah probably

 

Given the nonexistent setup time on many services, the best of both worlds would be automatic with a manual override.
