    Would be great, but the container braking physics with the 66 hasn't been addressed for ages....hopefully this doesn't follow suit.

    unfortunately, I don't think so... the next patch will come on thursday which will also bring the extended mildmay line
    and according to the roadmap, that's it for this month

    You might have to have other routes installed for it to show. I think original that didn't come freight i could be wrong tho.

    Apart from I believe Jan that has been on here and gave us some information, has anyone else not been on here since and come and said “we are aware of the issues, In particular: XYZ” ?.

    would be nice if someone could acknowledge that they are looking at the feedback or if they have found a issue or something, that’s all. :)

    Why are some comments being moved out of the feedback thread? I can’t recall posting anything that didn’t entail some sort of feedback. Perhaps, instead of “managing” the criticism,DTG should be dragging AABS in here by the scruff of their necks to explain how they made such a ghastly mess of the physics and various other issues.

    Hum why does the 70 struggle to start a 2100t train that a 66 with less tractive effort gets moving it should be the other way round.

    I'd say it will be a more lukewarm fix by January.

    I guess all of this is the final nail in the coffin for the 805 cab squares fix ever seeing the light of day, then… too many new bugs to look at, no time/resources to fix the “old” :(

    If you check the discussions in this thread and the one in the feedback forum, it's because the physics are rubbish and both AABS and DTG have gone to ground over the matter.

    And that's the problem They have seduced customers with the unique appearance (though not 100% accurate as reported in the feedback threads) and sounds which are admittedly good. But it's all for naught, if the physics take forever to start a heavy train, can't cope with gradients and a slight brake application puts you out the front window!

    Maybe because you don't seem to own the DLC and still give feedback on it? That's the only explanation I can come up with.

    He did own the DLC and because of the issues he is feeding back he refunded it? That feedback is just as relevant still :)

    See below.

    This. Plus you don’t need to own the product to feedback what could make the physics more accurate, etc.

    Check. Just interested in what it might be. Don't now why they removed some of your messages then...

    No problems running a GWML container train, what exactly are the problems people are experiencing?

    Mine was one of the posts which although I said i was enjoying the 70 started (quite rightly imo) having a moan about the complete lack of QA and beta testing dovetail do before releasing anything.

    So yeah, although i mentioned the 70, I can understand why my post got moved.

    Although the more i play of the 70, the less I'm starting to like it because it lacks any power at all unless you slam the throttle to 8, the headlights seem to work 10% of the time, safety systems don't work properly when reloading from a save and so on.

    The minor quibbles about modelling, dimensions, placement of the smoke or whatever don't bother me but compared to the 66 it seems underpowered so hopefully we'll get some details about some fixes soon.

    Maybe.

    In a year perhaps.

    If at all.

    Hopefully there will be some answers to the issues with the class 70 in the q and a on Discord today. It's been very quiet from all corners.
