    That should not have an effect on colors lining up and stuff being in the right place. You'd lose resolution, not have things move and warp. This is clearly a poorly done job like the last livery pack. If DTG or 3rd parties want to make livery packs, those have to be some serious bangers and extremely high quality, otherwise, there's no point in paying compared to free CC content.

    Full RD support is " sine qua non " for me with any route or loco. Pity because I want more steam, but, coupled with what else I'm reading, I think I'll pass on this dlc for now.

    As to the " verboten " word, if we can't use it, developers shouldn't be allowed to either.

    This is a railtour set in the modern day rather than a period route (i.e. an LMS route running a regular service) so the number of coaches may well differ from when it was in day to day operation.

    Oh I'm sure the team worked hard on it It just if you already own Spirit of Steam and West Cornwall Loco it doesn't really make it worth it unfortunately if there was a bit of a discount for owning those two routes involved then I would actually consider it but thanks for the reply

    The number of coaches should be enough when full to make the tour pay for itself. 5 coaches would not go far these days, I would say 10 at a minimum, plus the support coach behind the loco, plus the obligatory duff on the end. I could live without the last 2 but having only 5 coaches on a rail tour is plain silly. It doesn’t make any sense, it’s not as if we’re getting charged by the coach.

    Since I wrote my previous reply, I watched some of Hentis’ stream and there seems to be a 7 coach consist available in the train selection menu. As for making the tour pay, this is TSW3, those coaches ain’t going to be full :)

    Which is why I questioned the shortness of the consists; it’s not as if we’re paying a fixed amount for each coach in the pack, so why not be authentic for immersion’s sake? At the end of the day if some people are okay with short trains that’s fine, just not me. :)

    I know it’s a railtour. Railtours don’t run with 5 coaches for the reasons Redbus explains.

    Actually, if it was set in the days when steam was running in normal service, 5 coaches would be slightly more plausible. At that time some trains did run with very light loads, particularly on semi-fast services. But of course, then a Jubilee wouldn’t fit in West Cornwall.
