    I thought it would be cool to make a thread where everyone can leave their thoughts and feedback on the Class 313 loco add-on which is being streamed right now :D

    Let me know what you think of it so far! And any feedback you have :)

    Looks fantastic so far! A few little bugs to iron out but bring on release day. :D

    Very impressed with what I have seen on stream, thank you DTG.

    Regards,
    Nick

    Yeah I enjoyed what I saw. Sounds good and I am happy with the Timetable Substitution.
    Look forward to release.

    I like what I see so far. Will wait for the launch stream to check they’ve sorted the sound occlusion, But after the disappointment of the DB 187, I’m probably going to get this.

    Yeah, I don't have any complaints besides the little bugs that’ll probably be ironed out before the release. Overall, I'm impressed.

    They do have them in real life, they used to be generic ones (I think the same one as the 465s) but more recently they've been changed to the ones used on the Class 800s.

    I was impressed with what I saw but will reserve full judgement until I see the release version on Thursday.

    It’s disappointing the BR Blue special livery was not included and I’m frustrated that the 313 completely replaces the 377 on the Seaford branch. I’ve seen videos were both trains operate on the Seaford branch so having one or the other is a shame.

    I turned the stream off because it sounded like the external sounds were playing inside the cab. I’d rather hear it as it would be in the release and as I can’t buy it yet anyway I thought there wasn’t much point watching any longer.

    I also forgot to add that we do not have enough set up time - 30 secs is not enough and it was a massive shame there was no bug blue, especially with how long this train took to make

    Surely that would be a pretty easy add for an artist at DTG, and could be dropped in the way the Trainbow livery is on SEHS.

    It would be simple enough to recreate our own livery, but we need more control on when custom liveries appear. Being able to assign a livery to one specific train number or a group of them would be ideal for situations like this.

    I didn't see anything where Matt mentioned 'hand notching' of the controller, or did I miss this?

    It should be possible to stop the resistances cutting out in between power notches by returning to your previous lower power notch to keep the train at the current acceleration. Eg. You don't want all of the resistance removed (ie the acceleration) of the series notch, so you go to series, and back to shunt to prevent taking all the full power of series.

    This is the most interesting and best part of the camshaft controller, and stops the train jerking when you shut off from a high notch by planning ahead.

    The rationale behind the timetable duplication. I might be wrong but I couldn’t help but wonder whether it was so it didn’t cause console layering issues?

    Looks like an interesting train though. I’m not fussed about ECW but thinking it could be nice for a5th train on Brighton mainline.

    I thought that, rather than add in loads of extra trains and potentially over complicate things, the new timetable simply puts the 313 in the services it should be running.

    Matt opened the cab window in case you missed that part..., I enjoyed watching the stream, nice sound and nice visuals. Much impressed of what i saw.

    Day 1 purchais for me.

    No i wont start a thread now that toilet flushing sounds are missing.

    Add: by the way i like the gmsr radio is turning on and you can contact signaller, cool little feature.

    One of the reasons for the second Timetable is that the TSW2 Substitute System is unable to swap a four unit Train like the 377 with a three unit Train 313.

    Another reason could be, if DTG had simply completely replaced the 377 on the Seaford trips, we would probably have a result like on Arosa. A Train that is never on time

    How is progress on the new timetable counted towards overall progress on the route? (I.e complete 100 services achievement)

    I suspect 313 services will count as services for the route trophy set, but there will be a specific distance trophy (probably 313miles) in the 313 set. That's how it usually works.

    Matt did open the cab window, but when he later tried to close it the sounds still didn’t change. He acknowledged there was an occlusion bug for cab sound in the build he was playing. So tune in to next week's stream if you want to hear the proper in cab sounds.

    It looked great, I do like having many of the fuses working at the back for dynamic braking, door control, etc and a working guard's panel is always appreciated.

    I did notice that the station stop times were not rounded to the nearest 30 seconds, like most other routes are, which seems a bit strange. (I've not yet watched the entire stream so apologies if this was mentioned later.)

    I'm with you there. So disappointing to not have the BR Blue, hopefully modders will come to the rescue. The train is well done, not a fan of the livery hence why I miss the BR Blue, lol.

    I know there were problems with the sound especially when he opened the window and nothing happened. I did give out a big sigh though when the excuses started coming for why they didn't show it on the BML. If it had not of been broken the 313 would have been a great advert for the BML I just hope it doesn't take as long to fix the BML as it did to make the 313!

    Wait, why would that limit the 423 from being on SKA? It would just be a complete replacement for the 422 as the 423 is the only train (besides the 420) that runs there IRL.

    Have you considered the reason why SKA uses the 422 is because the 423 wasn't in the game when SKA was released?

    They're not Class 700 services - those services used to run with 465s and ran into Cannon Street (or Charing Cross one of the two). They have since been taken over (relatively recently) by Thameslink 700s though.

    If I can remember the current ECW timetable correctly, there is 8 car 377 services that would probably still serve the Seaford branch in the 313 timetable. I'm sure one comes out of Brighton in the earky morning and runs all stations to Seaford and then works a London Victoria service which you can drive as far as Lewes.
    I believe it also does the reverse sometime in the evening where you can pick up the service from Lewes.
    As long as this is kept in the Seaford branch won't be completely void of 377's.

    UK railtours can have TVL 37s or NTP 45s, but you don't get the 45 on TVL or the 37 on NTP for example.

    I think the difference here is that those locos (don't know what the british loco you talk of is), is that their simply substituting with earlier implementations of themselves. The 422 and 423 are completely different trains.

    And they could easily make it clear that it isn't standalone within the stream - in the stream title, call it the "East Coastway Class 313". Preface it with "You need East Coastway in order to use the 313", and maybe say that periodically whenever it's appropriate. If someone then thinks they don't need ECW, then frankly it's on them - it's like buying something based off an advert and then complaining about something that was clearly stated in the small-print - and this isn't even smallprint. 4/10; needs better excuse.

    I haven't watched the full thing, did they at least show what the BML services are?

    It all looks great to be honest, although I'm a bit disappointed that the BR Blue livery wasn't included on the one unit that runs it (given that unique liveries are clearly possible - eg. Trainbow).

    More than that, I wish they'd taken the opportunity when creating the new timetable for the 313 to finally add in the Victoria - Eastbourne/Ore 377 services as the eastern portion of the route is still only half-full, and presumably the issue with not having enough 377/4s would now be immaterial with the 313 timetable. I'd have really liked to see these included and it's frustrating that despite the lengthy development period these weren't included as it would have really rounded off ECW.

    Outside of that (and the bugs that I'm sure will be fixed on release), it looks excellent and I'm looking forward to driving it.

    I think they showed some services at the end of the video I can't remember, my concentration was wandering by then, lol. They kept repeating they wanted to concentrate on the ECW and show it in it's required route which made me chuckle as the real reason was that the BML is broken and I bet they would of loved to show it working on the BML.

    Yes, they said "12" but in actual fact I think there were four, because in timetable mode if the train changes ends then its "a different service" (Matt says that if they don't do this then avatars and lights end up at he wrong end (which does beg questions as to how such things are programmed))
    One of the "services" is literally marked as 1 minute long...

    Yeah this is seen on Cathcart - I don't understand how it's happened tbh. You see 314s coming into Glasgow from the depot with tail lights on the front.

    Thanks. I think that service would be interesting tbh. It'd be nice to see it, or part of it, on the release stream.

    Oh, you can tell how it's happened
    Trains have been assigned an A end and a B end
    In the scenario settings the driver's starting position has been set and the lights and so on are linked to this setting
    If the driver has to change ends this setting doesn't migrate with the driver

    So you end up in a position where a train may need to drive "B end first" from a depot onto platform, then change ends and drive "A end first" for the remainder of the route. This would end up with the train driving effectively backwards out of depot with the driver at the wrong end and the lights back to front (or all lights on as seen in the Boston preview)

    I guess it's easier to program it that way than figure out a method of saying "The AI will drive backwards here, but because they're shunting they should only have yard markers on" which is what would generally happen IRL

    No flange sounds is a huge deal breaker for me, it completely kills immersion. This is also an issue with the 377 on BML. Please fix this DTG.

    The lights are a bit annoying the way they clip in as the train approaches then go out immediately as the train moves away from the player.

    For me, the physics model of the 313 has changed since it first launched and not in a good way. When starting off in notch one the train basically launches itself. I enjoy driving it other than that, and I find it a challenge to keep it as a set speed going up hill with how the power have to be adjusted compared to other units.

    Not that I'm aware of. 313s work very differently to 314s and likely a good reason why they're needed.

    Still no fixes for the 313 despite DTG saying it will be fixed ‘shortly’ after release. Have DTG just completely forgotten about it? Either way, it isn’t acceptable.
