Loco Wmr / Xc Class 170 Dmu Pack Feedback Thread

Are you going to fix the services which are routed onto the Lifford Curve?

 

On PC no, mod is just as good (and better in some respects), on console yes - plus 3 extra scenarios but they are ehh.

 

I’m still waiting for the updated class 150/2 TFW sounds that were originally mentioned in may. DTG Alex told me in the beginning of June/july that they’ll be coming soon. It’s now August and not a word mentioned about them, absolutely lovely!

I’ve been playing TSW since it first came to console. After all these years, I sit back sometimes and think, what seriously happened to DTG? Just bugs after bugs after all sorts, and it gets worse with every title…

 

AWS is on the back panel behind the drivers seat.

 

Too many projects and not enough staff? Or lack of people with the necessary skills and knowledge.
It would be easy to blame Focus Entertainment but the fire and forget policy was in place long before they took DTG over.

 

for me the entire sound cuts out for a brief second and slowly comes back when passing at speed. I'll try and get a clip

 

I've had that too (as well as the rumbling).

 

I’m on the PS5 and the game has crashed multiple times now. I just started a run from Lichtfield to Bromsgrove around 1800 hours and as soon as a class 390 passed the game crashed. This shouldn’t happen. Not this far into the game

 

Is there going to be any fixes for the wrongly-routed Cross Country services? A number of folk have raised the issue but nothing's been said in response.
I'd love to start doing the CC BHM-BROM services but can't due to this.

 

yes specs below - steam

 

Hey! Ich spiele auf Ps5. Habe alle Routen seit Tsw2. Ich habe vor kurzem alle Creators Club Inhalte gelöscht und keine Abstürze mehr. Es liegt wohl an Tsw5.

 

Same/similar on XBX. Thanks, Harry.

 

Have done a few more runs and the AI traffic picked up a bit, don't know why. I have all layers except for the 150. And quite a bit of adverse signalling which is good.

No gameplay problems except, as others have mentioned, only the 170/6 has Raildriver enabled.

One disappointing thing is that the 170 hardly notices the Lickey Incline, even in snowy conditions, very typical of overpowered dmu's/emu's in the game.

 

This 170 does seem a bit more powerful than the scotrail one

 

I think it might have to do with special liveries. But entering Birmingham has also crashed the game 2 times

 

DTG Harry
I found and reported here a wrongly routed train (CC170 onto Lifford Curve towards the Camp Hill line) and at the same time others were reporting multiple instances of the same problem on those services.
However, it has since gone quiet, but I don't want to start a service and drive to University in order to see whether it works or not, only to find it hasn't.
So has it quietly been fixed, which is why no one talks about it anymore?
I'd appreciate a response as I'm raring to go with all those services south bound!

 

That's the one (and psst it's really a train! )

 

I can't find a feedback thread for Birmingham Cross City, so I'm posting in here.

Has there been a patch for this route which improves the lighting?
I'm driving this route after a long hiatus because I purchased the 170 pack and I'm noticing that the night lighting seems to be much better than I remember it. ( no I don't have new specs )

I'll drive some more to make sure.

Just wondered.

 

There isn't one

 

Morning Harry. So what have you learnt? Please share with us

 

No AWS sound in the 170/5 despite me turning AWS on.

 

Make sure you flip the fuse for it too. (On the back wall above the safety system switches)

 

It also happens when in any train on the fife circle line and a 170 comes near you, engine is apparently so gutsy it makes other trains quake in their boots

 

That's just because all the other trains know that they're inferior to the majestic class 170

 

Equal to the 357

 

Platform: Xbox one
Service: 1V23 @ 08:48 Hrs

What is up with the 170/5 suspension? It's so jittery as if the rails aren't smooth and so the sound is affected to a bit like when you haven't quite got a radio station tuned properly but quite a faint noise.

Also there's seems to be a strange occurrence that's also present on the 350 on WCMLS. When coasting or in lower notches, the accelerometer is constantly up and and down, flicking between blue and orange. On the 170 this is also seen on the Speedo at slow speed when leaving Birmingham New Street. Flickering around the 10mph mark.

 

At 1:07 on the 170 preview stream, Jasper was asked whether the 170 has been used to fill in for any voyager services. He said no, there are gaps in the timetable where the voyager services would occur, so if we get that train in the future it will be easy to add in.

I know there's plenty going on for TSW6 at the moment, but if it would be 'easy', please don't forget the 170 pack adding the 220 as an AI layer. It's the small things like this we all appreciate!

 

Tbh, it would not surprise me if the voyager release was known and it is the plan.

 

Does anyone have any news about Raildriver compatibility? A patch was promised but it's still only working on the 170/6 version. I'm running out of services to play. I was reduced to running a Class 37 rail tour yesterday.

 

Just saw the Centro 323 twice in one run, once entering Birmingham New Street as I was leaving, then again stopped at Bournville as I sped through with a 170.
Don't recall this happening in the original timetable.

 

Of course it was, content is planned 3-6 months at least in advance.

 

If anything, the gaps would be filled with drivable services too.

 

On the preview stream the train that was being driven displayed NOT IN SERVICE. Has this issue been fixed yet? It's an add on that I want to buy but was put off by that bug. I'm hoping by now it's been fixed.

 

Trains properly display the correct destination, yes.

 

THANK YOU.

 

PC Steam
TSW6
Class 170/5 variants not working with Rail Driver.

 

Yes I just bought this on sale, saw that was still not fixed, and refunded it. It's beyond me why this is still not fixed, it works on one of the Class 170/6, why not the rest?

 

Noticed the 170/5 have literally no gangway between carriages whilst the 170/6 have normal standard gangway between carriages

 

Notice on the ps4 version the cab jumps like a rollercoaster as the boggies underneath shake like mad like blender basically when driving

 

Two questions, with regards to the Livery Designer model(s), if I may.

Firstly, why is the 170/6 the only one of the two models ported into Livery Designer?

And secondly, why have details (such as the unit and set numbers) not been removed from the LD models? Rivet already have form for that!

 

If anyone is looking for RailDriver support for the 170's. I have uploaded a fix to TSC,
WMR/XC Class 170 Full RailDriver Support - Train Sim Community

Thanks to Sharon E for testing this for me.

 

Just doing a Voyager run on the 170 timetable and it’s safe to say it handles Lickey a bit more efficiently than the 170 did

 

1M41 Voyager service PIS on train shows Out of Service.

 

To add to above, the destination on the departure board was blank and it didn't list calling points after Stoke-on-Trent either. I guess they don't exist in the routes station directory
