Gwe Remaster: Appreciation And Discussion Thread

Liam confirmed further back, to release a branded version they would have to remodel the interior appropriately which is beyond the scope of this remaster. So it will release unbranded with the GX interior still in place, much the same as the Greater Anglia and Elizabeth Line trains in Mildmay just being 710s with the interiors turned black and white instead of having the LO colours.

 

Hey Liam! I want to ask since it is somewhat GWE related. Will the Class 802s and Class 220 AI trains be enabled to spawn with custom liveries? At the moment all the AI trains from the Riviera line aren’t enabled to use any custom liveries similar to how WCML South started which is kind of a let down.

 

It's my understanding that the green GWR 387s will be branded, since DTG have the license. (some of the WIP screenshots were probably done before the license renewal was worked out). The unbranded ones will be the purple Heathrow Express trains, since DTG don't have a license deal with the airport authority.

 

There is a setting about custom liveries being enabled or not for AI trains that I think is new for TSW6, I wonder if this might be the case, though my apologies if the AI liveries are showing on other routes and not just that one.

 

Yeah it’s switched on. Unfortunately it’s the route or trains. DTG or even third parties forget to enable AI trains to use custom liveries which is a bit frustrating.

 

Maybe it's just one of those things that needs to get heavily reported so we can add the custom liveries, It's like the 158 for example it's really good for the Riveria Line but soon as I see the East Midlands Trains I loose immersion lol

 

DTG Liam can you sort out those horrid HST sounds, its got no throb and sounds like it has a turbo on constantly. It's ya 165 has done some amazing sounds on train sim community, it would amazing if you could get those implemented before you release.

 

The timetable is going to incredible! Does anyone know if the timetable 1:1 representation of the real life timetable? I believe it's set in 2016 not sure if it's summer/winter timetable

 

I'm afraid not. The 387s will still be unbranded.

 

From what I have heard things are coming along with GWE, so will we hear any more info in the next roadmap? Any guesses?

 

Well done Liam. It shouldn't be too long now before you get your life back

 

I guess the community are just keeping our eyes pealed for an article discussion about this & a release date in mind, but that's really good to hear! Seriously looking forward for this route next!

 

Hopefully a good amount of console testing happens...

 

I'd imagine with the Riviera release and the GWR license being back in force, the branding can be easily added to the 387 as the 802 which appears to have one service as a test run, will have branding anyway

 

Somebody posted this image literally on the same page...

 

Thanks Liam. I have a question about the beta testing, so the beta team carry out their tests and they supply you with a list of what they found. Do you address any problems found and it moves on as is with adjustments final build or do you carry out the adjustments and kick a revised version back to the beta team or do you just leave them with the original version? Thanks

 

So, it is like an evolution thing, improving as it goes. Ok cool, thank you.

 

Is it still planned for a release this year? Will 150s from riviera layer in?

 

How are we looking on the performance and the texture fronts on console at the moment? Is this able to get tested by the Xbox beta group?

Can't wait to see the finished product! Loved your WSR Liam! I'm sure this will be even better!

 

Really excited for the roadmap tomorrow as assuming we will finally find out a lot more in terms of release date and previews for this!

 

Thursday painfully

 

Shocker

 

That’s a shame but understand. Is it still the plan to try and get this out before Christmas ? Im guessing bringing it in line with TSW6 with the train and station announcements has given you alot more work!

 

Off topic of GWE, but maybe not really...Any update on the HST pack? Is that finished, nearly finished or awaiting the GWE to launch?

 

What colours will be represented with the HST pack? Will the black ones be included the coaches are already in Preston-Carlisle route

 

One of my fav routes, so looking forward to this.

Nothing is a day one for me for obvious reasons, but this will defo be a month one if the release goes well and it plays ok on console.

 

Great, Class 43 remains my fav train bar none.

Have you done much to the model itself?

The MML version definitely improved on the original, but had the odd safety system set up, where they included a DSD switch for a device that was not there, or at least did nothing and then put the AWS on the spare switch on the other side of the cab that also needed to be activated in conjunction with the vigilance, which was weird when it worked fine on the GWG version.

 

Sounds good, 43185 with the heritage livery will be a classic i think!!

 

Wait, a working bog on the HST itself, as in a walk through loco like the Class 86 & Class 87?

 

I hope I'm definitely not letting a joke woosh over my head!

But if not, that would be truly impressive. Maybe not for the virtual track workers though! That would have to be a first for the whole game too!

 

That's good to know, Liam, because, as I'm sure you're aware, the forum has an obsession with toilets on trains, though I've never heard them called " bogs ". Sounds kind of unpleasant even if appropriate. Another entry for my little black book of Britishisms.

 

It's one of the politer British slang words for a toilet!

 

Did you manage to fix the roof light bleed threw on the class 101?

 

Did someone say working bogs?

 

Apart from the fact that the coupling hatch won’t open on the MML one.

 

Hold on. The toilets are modelled? As in, there's an actual 3D model of a toilet and sink, with toilet paper dispenser?

And we can enter this toilet?

And the toilet may be locked because a passenger is inside? After a couple of minutes, the toilet will be unlocked again? Will we see passengers walk into and out of the toilet?

I still feel like I'm missing something here. I keep rereading these messages. We're... getting toilets?

Will conductor mode have ticket checks in the toilet?

 

Sounds like a cr@p mod to me
(I'll get my coat).

 

Would be a perfect opportunity for a achievement

 

“GWE: Toilet In A Train”
“Use the toilets in one of the HST sets”

 

I'm still not sure if Liam is making a good joke that's going over my head! I'm slow so do forgive me!

Id love for this to be real though...

Playing as a guard banging on the door of the toilet trying to frighten a ticket dodger out who had barricaded themselves inside.

 

It would be good for the monthly challenge, instead of walk 5km, use 5km of toilet paper. Flush 1,500 times
