Also the Door PIS being buggy as hell. What annoys me is that you got British Rail a really good game on roblox and they have got that spot on with the PIS on the door. Yet TSW can’t seem to get it right
PC Service 1Z72 (Part 1) for Flying Scotsman has two stops at the same time in Stoke Junction and Babworth.
I should have noted the service down but forgot to include it stupidly but basically was just wondering is it typical of real life to have a gap in the track at end points in stations. Don't know what you call them red lights at end of bay platforms etc. Not buffers but something else. The track seemingly has a gap instead of going all way to end where wall is. Additionally, playing a service with no information screens on side of trains with no coach number or anything. On a positive note the route really comes alive I feel with sunset and sunrise. The reflections etc are amazing. Helps there is ray tracing. And love the way the sun etc tracks around in the cab.
a bit of a dumb question but here I am - does Azuma have a button or anything that controls tilting mechanism, like the US Acela has? not that I want to turn it off, just wondering... or is it always on, kinda automatic (in-game / IRL) ? thx
oh I guess it was just the "tilt" of the tracks, then, damn ... for some reason I mistook Azuma for one of those Avanti West Coast trains that I believe DO tilt... ah, shattered dreams ... and here I was thinking yay, a cool and highspeed tilting train... my eyes, my eyessss
can you believe it? ever since the launch of ECML I was under the impression I am driving a tilting train... just yesterday I thought to look for buttons/screens about it, since you can usually find those in-cab, even if they arent interactive (in TSW they are so far)... my brain has seriously cheated me, maybe the similar looks to some other modern UK rolling stock deceived me ... will do a run today... so... it is tracks in bends then... whyyyy
Still keep getting aws warnings for green signals with no warning board for speed reduction nor speed reduction in sight. Currently happened twice on service 1H06.
On PS 4 with Scotsman on a tour from Peterborough, I had a red signal at Stoke junction that said wait 15 mins. Is this a bug or a strange pathing stop? Edit: I replayed the same section, and got to Stoke junction and stopped at signal, and the complete screen loaded and I got gold. This was in manual firing mode, damper at 25% most of the climb was 50mph , gradually falling to 44mph reg full, cut off 33-40%.
Yes I actually turned off the PS4 in the end as it was getting late yesterday. But yeah I've seen how the steam tours can get looped first hand... First time driving Scotsman and the ecml, so wasn't sure if it was a bug.
With Scotsman I had a blue screen error on the run starting from Stoke junction towards Newark with the 66 on the back. I did the same run earlier but i SPAD at the end of the journey as I got to the loop
PS4 Scotsman on 1Z39 Kings York , blue screen 1 mile from stop at Doncaster is the ECML so buggy on PS4? I'm guessing yes.... I'm in manual firing mode, damper 25% I tried opening and closing the firebox door at the start of the session. Tried again in Automatic firing mode, blue screen crash 600 years from Doncaster station.
Unfortunately that crash towards DON is ‘normal’ for PS4 - doesn’t happen on PS5. I tried various bits of troubleshooting, could neither get it to work. ECML became a one trick pony - DON -> PBO direction only worked. Heavy lagging even when leaving DON and sometimes crashed too, so at one point I had to completely avoid DON.
No worries. Any service I drove on ECML on any train. I mainly used Azuma. I think it may have been free roam too, not 100% sure. Unsure re scenario planner. Quite an unfortunate bug to be present so long after release and was pretty much the sole reason I upgraded to PS5. Shouldn't have needed to, and slightly disappointed that it wasn't fixed allowing me to stick with PS4
Yeah leaves me with three or four timetable services with Scotsman. Only just bought TSW4 going by the ECML bugs , I'm glad it was £7.99....
Route seems to have a hiccup when loading the line in the down direction from Retford, service 1D11 KGX-LDS. Only happened once, thought it was worth mentioning.
Just before Newark station the aws magnet when passing over approximately just before this bridge doesn't sound at all and only sounds at the next one. Why is this. Immersion breaking just a tad. Has anyone had similar issues..playing on ps5.
I am running in this route now on my new video card. Is this in the up or down direction? Will do a run to see. Am on pc.
OK, just ran an up (south) service and did not notice an AWS magnets not working. You have to slow to 100 mph through there so was watching closely.
So the blue screen crash must of been patched for the PS5 version, but not the PS4, unless it's the PS4 hardware that isn't able to run SOS, SEHS or ECML without blue screen crashes. Maybe DTG are partnered with Sony to boost Playstation sales. I suppose in the world of consoles and tech the PS4 is obsolete now . Might just wait for the PS6 release.
Slightly OT, but does Scotsman run on the Blackpool branches route? And does the Blackpool branch route crash on PS4? Thanks
The Flying Scotsman doesn't run on Blackpool Branches, the 8f steam railtour is the only steam related on the route. I don't know about the ps4 as I play on the xbox
Has anyone else been having the issues with PIS not displaying anything on coaches. Also what does the flashing BIL mean when train is in motion?
The PIS is unfortunately an ongoing bug. It pops up every so often for a few seconds then goes. DTG Matt is there an update on this bug please? If by BIL you mean bodyside indicator lights, it would normally mean the guard is keyed in with the door key switch in the relevant carriage. Is this something you've seen in the game? Were you interacting with the guard panel and perhaps left the DKS in?
Yeah I believe that must be my doing then as was fiddling around with it lol. Additionally do you get the black screen happening. Where the speedo screen and tms screen keeps turning dark..I believe this is a bug DTG Matt ?
This is not exactly fitting for this section, but a lady from the US wants to know. I was looking at the Peterbourgh cams and saw an EMR service to Doncaster, 2K26, but does not look like it runs the ECML.
I don't have MML so can't see if it layers in, but if anything it would be AI - https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C60350/2024-08-02/detailed. It would appear at PBO and DON, but goes between the two via Lincoln. It could also be new on the June timetable 2024, and therefore not in place when the route was created.
It's basically two services formed into one, So Peterborough to Lincoln and the Lincoln to Doncaster, it takes an age to do and is purely to serve the rural towns. It diverts away from the ECML soon after leaving Peterborough and rejoins it at Doncaster.
