Route Airedale & Wharfedale Network: Leeds & Bradford - Skipton & Ilkley

The route is looking fantastic and as someone who knows this route well and built a version in TSC the only thing jumping out to me is the retail units right next to Bradford Forster Square station look nothing like the metal warehouse asset used. They are yellow brick/stone with grey cladding and curved roof. I understand the retail store names not being used but the asset currently in place is so inappropriate and right up against the track. Everything else is looking really great along with the 333 and 331.

 

Hey Matt , I am writing to you this again because you said you would look into this and then you didn't reply, like what happened to having pre-load for Steam users buying the deluxe edition ? why can playstation have 48hr pre-load and Steam gets nothing ?

My current installation for TSW 6 is around 390 GB ! so it would take a lot of time to download all of this again so why not give us the headroom so that we can pre-load the files and can get full 5 days of early access runtime.

Hi, I have a quick question relating to the class 331 traction motor sounds, as someone who used to regularly use the 331 on the Manchester to Crewe line I am very familiar with the VF drive sounds, I noticed that in train sim world 7 they're wrong when the train is decelerating. I'm just wondering, will it be fixed before the game officially releases on the 15th? Thanks!

 

The route looks really good from what we saw on the LiveStream. Rivet have done a good job.

It's a shame that Matt's driving is terrible, plus when he uses the freecam we get so many weird angles and views.
The last hour of the stream is pointless chitter chatter and spider related nonesense.

I'd rather these types of streams be curated and presented pre-recorded showing off more of what players want to see.

 

that would also eliminate the lousy quality of youtube live streams

 

I don’t think I’ve once seen an example of “we’ll be quiet for the announcements” followed by the team actually being quiet.

I did suggest pre-recorded high quality videos & Matt thinks it’s a good idea, so hopefully it will come to fruition.

Furthermore that stream did a really bad job of showing what’s included, it was particularly frustrating to hear so much chatter about how useful the full list of layers and requirements they had was, and they did such a poor job of actually showing us all the layers.

These yearly instalment streams are all I really tune into now due to the presentation quality. Unfortunately I’ll also be subjecting myself to a couple more throughout the year.

These streams need not to be sterile, but they really need pulling back to somewhere between professional & where they are now. We also need a better structure to the previews so that we can actually see the entire product & Matt can actually drive the route.

Im sure they can put other streams on for the pissing about they like so much, but I’m watching these streams as a customer interested in the product & they do such a poor job of showing said product.

 

I'm joining you on this one. PC already has to deal with releasing later in the day and then we have to wait even logner after that. Last time I had to wait around 5 hours for all dlc to install. Given that in my timezone it will be releasing at 19:00 that means there is a very high chance I won't be able to play untill the 11th

 

If you’re playing on the 10th then you’re downloading your content a whole 5 days before consoles anyway.

I’d happily swap a 48hr preload on 20gb of content for no preload but instant access to ALL of my collection.

 

On the Würzburg-Nürnberg stream at least the co-host was trying to keep it on schedule at the very least. I do very much agree that it would be better to have a 2/3 hour deep dive video and maybe a q&a stream afterwards, but all those side tangents they keep going on are so annoying. I'm putting aside 3 hours of my day to watch a stream and 80% is just the hosts goofing of instead of answering actually important questions. For example I still haven't heard an answer for why Boca Raton, because they just kept focussing on finding a bloody dolphin. And during the UK stream we heard more about the spiders and shakespeare than the actual route.

 

There is a console stream on now with just Matt, looking at all 3 routes. Sure to be better presentation quality (though ironically he got 40 seconds away from Nurnburg & had an out of memory crash LOL).

 

That fills me with no confidence and its gonna ctd on every route I reckon.

 

Driving out of Leeds in the early hours doesn't fill me with confidence for console. Why not show us how it looks at midday?

 

Probably because it will CTD again.

 

Yeah, it’s been pretty bad on PS5 but I don’t know how Xbox users are still spending money on TSW. I absolutely would of binned TSW years ago if I stayed on Xbox - all you ever see on route feedback threads are reports of crashing.

To be fair Leeds at 6 approaching 7am has Azumas and other bits starting their shifts, the triangle routes are also well underway with services at this time too, so it’ll be as memory intensive then as it would be midday, in fact mid day is likely quieter.

 

Guess it makes a change from tons of fog to hide the half arsed scenery in past routes.

 

Very true
