    So I gave the 38 stock a go on my stream last night. I tried to do the first scenario for the 38 stock.



    Yeah I quit a few stops down the line.

    First attempt.
    Train comes into Harrow and the driver is levitating in the cab.

    Opened the drivers door whilst the drivers seat was down.

    Couldn't insert the master key to make the unit operational.

    Couldn't close the drivers door as the drivers seat was down.

    Couldnt raise the drivers seat as the drivers door was open. See where this is going.

    Restart!!!
    Managed to get past the hurdle above on the second attempt.

    Get going notice no passengers getting on or off my train as we are at Harrow and Wealdstone but notice half of Harrow stood opposite me on the other platform!

    Realise why there were no passengers as they've all been sucked out the train as both sets of doors were open whilst the train was moving.

    The Compressor sound was like someone grinding coffee in my ears, it just sounded awful.

    Also of note NO BRAKING sound fx apart from Brake Squeal as you come to a stop.

    As the train came into Harlseden I decided to Can that service. Dont think I will be touching this DLC until its got a decent update to it.

    Overall a lovely model but let down badly with the poor sound.

    Regards

    Hentis

    Yet another unfinished release, following in the wake of London Commuter. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. You’d think someone somewhere would have noticed that the sound was shot to sh*t - no braking/decelerating sound, except for brake squeal. It’s evidently missing on Hentis trip, and noticeably present on the more modern stock running on the line. It looks great but it’s lacking, I’d be ashamed of releasing this!

    As my mother would have said: “it’s all fur coat and no knickers”

    Next up: West Cornwall. Anyone fancy a wager on if it’ll function properly on day one?

    After paying 12quid for this and getting three stations down the track I'm beginning to wonder, if none of the NPC passengers want to ride in this stock do I really want to drive it? After the train crash that was Rush Hour and then this and the 187 both being disappointing I don't hold any high hopes for West Cornwall despite looking forward to it!

    Sums up the DLC in my opinion.

    If riding as a passenger, travelling inside certain carriages also sound like you're under water. This effect goes away if you open any window or door. Very strange!

    The physics seem a little odd, too. It seems to wheel slip very easily, even in forward 1 on minimal power. This appears to be common on all of Rivet's releases to date.

    wow, is it really the same as arosa then? I’m still trying to ignore the passengers that don’t travel anywhere in arosa. It looks so exquisite, but if the game play and basic systems is off, I’ll give it a miss.

    It's made by Rivet. It won't work properly, and they won't fix it. It should be in the small print. Been burned by them too many times to give them any more of my cash.

    Hentis drives the shockers so that we don’t have to. The passengers are very wise not to get on an unfinished train.

    Only for PS and PC it seems as Xbox players can get it.
