Train Sim World 7 - Discussion

To be fair though, SWT were running between Waterloo and reading in the same period GWE is set in

 

I would like to see the release of a route where collisions with people, vehicles, and the like do not occur.
As I mentioned in another thread regarding the WCMLS, I experience a collision every single time at Platform 6 of Harrow Station.
It is a truly frustrating experience.

 

No, I think Waterloo to Reading is plausible, but the 701 (ordered by SWR) and a GBR livery wouldn't be

 

Desired Route possibilities:

Brighton to Southampton Central
Southampton Central to Weymouth
London Waterloo to Southampton Central

Charing Cross/Canon Street to Dartford (connects with Southeastern High Speed) Add City beam to existing Class 465.

Reading to Exeter via Newbury

 

GBR "Anglia" livery was officially launched at Liverpool Street yesterday with stars of the show being 357008/020 & 720501/144.

If we're to have a licenced GBR product (and I think it's likely at some point soon) then GBR Anglia is ready to welcome TSW.

 

We could have 455s instead! Perfecto

 

707s are entirely possible via the 700 you’re quite right

 

yeah if it is a ecml extension with a 91 or Airedale and wharf lines and even the swml i will defo be buying train sim world 7

 

Boy i really do we get a ECML extension or even a class 91 for TSW7. I noticed a pattern with UK high speed routes. Remember when the south eastern high speed got released in tsw 2? it got an extension as the flagship route for tsw3 . this was the same with GWE it was introduced in tsw but later got a new part of the route in tsw6 for the games flagship uk Route. With the WCML it was introduced in tsw5 and later got an extension in train sim world 6. With the ECML being released in TSW4 don't you think it is time for an ECML extension as it hasn't received anything since tsw 4. There also seems to be a habit of dovetail extending high speed routes and ive noticed a pattern so who knows we could get an ECML extension.

The ideal route would be London Kings X to Peterborough with playable class 700 services between Kings X and Peterborough aswell as class 387 services between Kings X and Hitchin. Dovetail could also try and get hull trains license and rebrand GWR class 802 livery and put a hull trains livery on the same with lumo aswell. i was thinking if this was the flagship route for tsw7 then the Class 91 could come in for a deluxe edition locomotive. Many people have been wanting a 91 since the release of train sim world 4. It feels a bit weird just stopping the ecml at doncaster so maybe an extension to leeds or york maybe in newcastle would be great.

 

We have almost all the rolling stock (801, 387, 700) and if add the CL717 (Hertford Loop Line) and CL91 to the deluxe version of the TSW7, we get an awesome British route

 

Would be great im just hoping another leak comes out in August

 

I dont think DTG can port TSW to UE5. Especially considering backward compatibility with older DLCs.
Also I dont think we can see MP any years soon in TSW series.
Emm what's more likely maybe more accurate simulation of ETCS? But ETCS EVC and wayside system itself is basically a standalone system besides the game core.
Maybe some more niche part of the world? More Asian/Mid/Eastern europe contents? With some new CCS?

 

Maybe they called a plumber

 

I'm positive there will be lots of leaks on the 25th.

 

i think if we are lucky we could get leaks a week or 2 before the 25th

I want to draw attention to a feature request I made a few months ago with regards to "reactive" PWAY and track workers.

My suggestion involved painting a radius around each PWAY NPC, this radius would be considered a horn activation zone and if you blast your horn within the zone they'll raise an arm above their head as an acknowledgement of the approaching driver.

Random work crews out in the wild that spawn at a handful of pre determined locations to encourage you to pay attention to what's ahead. Maybe a late notice feature could give a rough idea of where these crews are operating at the start of a service.

It received the Old Vern seal of approval but I think I posted it at a time that caused a lot of people that would be in support of such feature to miss the thread, I think the birds from Thames valley branches are a prime example of this being somewhat possible.

Another thing I suggested was upgrading the TSR event,
This would include,
-Line Unevenness would be temporarily edited via track properties on the fly. You'll bounce around a lot more in the TSR zone. Indicating that the track isn't fully set but still usable. Maybe jointing the track on that section to enhance the effect.
-The new system would add relevant equipment nearby too as well as PWAY staff. (Generators, railway tool boxes, floodlights RRVs etc)
-Randomised TSR speed based on what is being done in the area. It would have to make sense and bare relevance to how invasive the maintenance is.
Logic here is if they can tell the game to place the warning and T boards already for TSRs, It can place any object.

One more thing while I'm here.
-Random (very rare) railway emergency group calls / general emergency stops via gsmr.

Thanks for the read folks and hopefully we can get a good brain storm going.

 

Just a question.

Apart from walking around the station, I spend 99% of my time in TSW sat in the driver's seat, and as such I'm only concerned with what the driver can see. I know however, that some people like using the flying cam to go look at streets or buildings miles away from the track or to take new pictures/screenshots. However, presumably all these assets I don't look at, are still using up memory and contributing to the size of the DLC.

What if two downloads were offered. A) Driver's Eye View (it only downloads the scenery within limits decided by the developer, and scenery only the driver would see - not downloading all the other stuff. And B) a Full Download, for everyone else that wants the ability to roam and fly and go miles away.

Does that make sense?

 

Not really. It just ruins the official reveals as everyone knows what’s coming. It’s always better it being a surprise.

We’ve already had one route spoiled so far. Atleast we still don’t know if it’s a third party making this route or if it’s DTG yet.

 

I don't want to know what routes are included until I fire up the game for the first time, official reveals ruin the surprise.

 

btw "We ride for Jimothy" on TSW FB profile... do you think it means new route or sth for next iteration ?

 

Jimothy is a racoon with no spine based in Seattle so that might be worth a punt for the American pick

 

he has a spine, just shortened (some vertebrae might be fused together), possibly short-spine syndrome, a genetic disorder... and he is very cute, thats why ppl love him

 

It’s much better than knowing everything that’s coming before you’re supposed to even know about it. Games have been really bad for this in recent years. I personally just hate it. If people do share leaks then atleast make it a spoiler post so those who do want to wait until the official reveal don’t know about it before. I was a bit annoyed to see the UK route get posted on here with no spoiler tag attached to it.

 

I have to agree here...

Although I was personally aware of the leaks, since I have found out careful that I've been sure not to mention them directly, only to say "I know what they are" and nothing more so I did not spoil or ruin anyone elses excitement or anticipation.

It's cool for about 5 minutes knowing leaked DLC, but it does put a bit of a dampener on the anticipation build up. Although I will say, those who did know and put spoiler warnings on their post have managed to balance things for those who do want to know and those that don't won't to know, and that's much appreciated.

 

I mean, if the routes/trains got revealed and it was sth I want, my anticipation would shoot up

 

True but wouldn’t it be even better if you waited until it was the official reveal ??. I just feel leaks are for impatient people. I used to like leaks at first but after a short while I started hating it. It’s like if you are a child and you see your parents wrapping your presents infront of you. You know what’s in them. Even if it’s a present you have always wanted. As sierra oscar basically pointed out you’ll be excited for a short while and then when the day does come the excitement has been dumbed down because you already know you have it. You don’t have that “what if it is, what if it isn’t” excitement and anxiety going on in your head.

 

It seems to be a competition for some to know info 1st.

I suspect they are the same people who tried to find their Christmas presents before they are wrapped as well.

 

The difference compared to a present is that, in any case (leak or official announcement), you'll know which route it is before you can play it.

 

Its August today, meaning that we are now in the month of the direct.

We're in the endgame now.

23 days to go.

 

It's weird this is the first time that we really don't know what is going on. I don't believe that the UK thing is the core route. We have no German route leaks. There is never any US leaks. We know nothing.

 

So, here's my two cents: we'll get 3x brand new routes and 3x deluxe locos (UK, DE and US?) + two remaster(?)
According to SteamDB:

FACTS, now it's your turn

 

Not really, likely gives big dev & QA costs, and also buildings are reused all around the route so would be likely not worth it. If you do want to know how it is like to have Drivers Eye View scenery only, try the Glasgow Air Rail Link in TSC.

 

Antelope Valley was leaked before it was revealed.

 

I Think we get a UK route leak in like a week or so

 

Why do you think that? And what reason?

 

Here it is.....
It's the entire London Tilbury & Southend network plus Thames Gateway Freightliner Depot.

Man I feel sorry for DTG, having a matter of weeks to research, build, test, then release a complex DLC with 2 new trains. But sometimes we all need a tight deadline to focus us, they'll be fine.

So there it is. You heard it here first, possibly. Unless it isn't, in which case at least it gives us all something to talk about for a couple of weeks. Which is the point of a forum really.

 

Nah, I still reckon it will be Trolley Sim World.
For the UK, Blackpool in its prime before the demise of trolley poles and the arrival of the Flexities.
USA gets San Diego Trolley.
Germany gets a miss this year and we’re off to Hong Kong for the complete system including the Happy Valley branch.

 

You might be onto something here Vern.
I was able to grab a quick snap shot of a short formation passing me during DTG's final testing.
Luckily you even get a feel for the motive power likely to be supplied with the game

 

Complete with the scenario where you have to queue behind 8 other people at the customer service buying ciggies/vapes/lottery tickets because your £1 coin is firmly wedged in there! And the trolley we had in Tesco last Friday sounded like a wagon that should have been red carded with wheelflats…

 

Because it happened for TSW5 and for 6 it was a couple days before the direct

 

Ah yeah you mean the short videos. Those are for the release of TSW6.... Not for the DTG direct... Or I'm wrong here

 

Are we talking about the teasers DTG deliberately put out? They have happened haven't they? Or maybe I need my GP to review the strength of the medication she prescribes to me.

 

lets not forget We ride for Jimothy post

 

I hope we get a decent new US route passenger and freight ..Would like to see Miami West Palm with Tri Rail CSX .maybe Brightline SunRail ..or Marias Pass ..like to see Passenger Announcements added to USA on MBTA Boston Wooster ..Metrolink and NYT etc

 

Usually for the Dovetail Direct I'm hoping we're getting some new epic routes. This year, I'm only hoping for optimizations, so I can actually enjoy whatever routes they make without stutttttering.

 

My Predictions for the TSW7 Lineup this year, these are just blind guesses.

US: Tri-Rail Miami - West Palm Beach - BL36PH and F40PH Included
Deluxe Loco: ALC42 Charger

UK: Airedale and Wharfdale Lines: Leeds to Skipton, Ilkley and Bradford Forster Square - Class 333 and 801 Included
Deluxe Loco: Class 331

Germany: Schnellfahrstrecke Nurnburg - Wurzburg - DB 425 and ICE3 Neo Included
Deluxe Loco: DB ICE4

 

Charger automatically releases money from my pockets ... I mean, a modern diesel capable of 125 mph ))

 

I think such a Yorkshire route would probably only be the big showpiece TSW7 UK route if it also included Leeds to Doncaster and a Class 91 "Deluxe" which includes a post-Virgin East Coast timetable for the existing ECML route with HSTs. One new network, an extension for an existing route and a much-requested loco/mk4s.

 

Will not happened. Because 4 trains per timetable is not profitable or something. Ask the DTG for details.
