Is it me or is all of the rolling stock in TSW much less responsive than TSC. I am playing back to back loco runs ( e.g. DE BR114 on both platforms then Class 166 on both platforms etc). It feels like TSC locos are more responsive. Quicker acceleration, more responsive brakes. To be clear I am using AP rolling stock when I can. Am I going crazy?
Not sure about MU's as have never driven them but loco hauled braking is too responsive in both sims, specially when longer trains are concerned. The brake pipe equalizes far too quickly and recharges just as fast, irl it takes some practice to get it right but I get that the sims are trying to strike a balance between realism and playable for the average user.
Is that because it's not CPU intensive, or because it's more multi-threaded. A better chart to use would be the performance tab, not the processes tab. Btw.... that's not playing TSC.... just showing you for reference.
Was wondering if that was causing the stutters in TSW. TSC on my end is now running very smooth. Files are all now executed on SSD. Only real pain now is the long load time via the menu. Would be nice if there was a quicker way to load a specific scenario without the menu.
I have quite a large install so now I renamed my routes folder and created a new one and just cut and paster the routes to it that I wish to dabble with, at any one time I only have approx 3 - 4 routes 'installed' and the menu load times are way quicker plus you dont have to scroll endlessly looking for the route with the scenario you wish to drive. As a side to all this I now sort my routes into region areas making it easier to locate which one I need, I also spent time creating new empty folders and naming them 'RouteNumber - RouteName', that way they are easy to search for as well, not my idea originally, read it on a forum, UKTS I think. There are programs that do this as well but I had a bad experience with one previously so I go the manual route now.
Long menu loading times is probably because of large rolling stock content and your scenario database is massive. Even a SSD won't help much here.
