Hello everyone, This is the official Q&A thread for the upcoming Medway Valley Line Preview Stream. Please only use this thread for questions and not discussions. The preview stream is taking place tonight at 7pm UTC on YouTube/Twitch.
Are you going to update us on the improvements for SEHS in the livestream tonight? There seems to be a correlation with the development of Medway Valley Line, hence my question
The new features with the Class 375 sub-classes seem brilliant and really go to show the level of detail and passion the tram have put into them. As well as these, compared with the other variants of the Electrostar in-game currently, will the TMS computer screen on the /3 and /6 include new features and multi/functionality (On the ones beforehand all you could do was change the PIS destination)? . If not, will it at least have the correct menu screen elements? as I noticed some were missing from the others to give it a more simplified interface.
are there any plans for new features such as gsmr to become core in the future, or will they be limited to firefly products only?
With Firefly simulations' being part of the modding community and now acting as a third party, does this prevent Firefly creating any mods for content in the future?
Have track shadows been implemented for the third rail/are there any plans to add this at a later date?
For once I haven’t actually got much to ask on this one. Just one request for the stream really, please show the improved night lighting that you’ve managed to achieve, I’m sure we’re all looking forward to that. Oh and to chip in, that a future classic timetable for this with a 4 CEP/BEP, 4 VEP or a guest appearance by the Hastings Diesel you would put a big old smile on my gnarled old face.
Are we confident console versions won’t be plagued with blurry textures? East Coastway remastered was a breath of fresh air in this regard and hoping this route will also be free of them.
What new functionality will we see on the TMS screen? Will their be updated railsinging that includes audio of the “pulsing” sound the 3rd rail makes when a train passes at speed? I would like to mention how grateful I am for firefly and they should be very proud of their hard work, this routes next level and the sounds, visuals and new features are all phenomenal .
This question can be directed to either Firefly or DTG, do you think the sim will be able to handle the Chatham Mainline in full if it comes to it one day? I'm asking this in this stream thread,cause it seems Firefly alongside the route is working on core improvements..
Will there be any steam railtours on the timetables? In early 2000s there used to be some that ran between Maidstone west and Tonbridge. I’d love it if those could be recreated on timetable mode.
