    Does the pacer really accelerate that quickly?

    Not when driven properly. A lot of the time in that stream the Pacer was being pulled off at notch five or above, but general rule of thumb for gen 2 or newer DMUs like the 142 here, or the 150 or 166, is that you pull off in notch three, work up to 4, then only go further than that when you're over 10mph. Someone requested a notch 3 start in the stream and the timing there looked right.

    I think when it was being driven on the DTG stream, Steve may of been taking off a bit too quickly on the notches.
    As far as i know it should be Notch 3, 5 then 7 which gives it a much more gradual build up that people are expecting

    Cheers, Tom

    Don't get why PC players have to wait longer, should have been released midnight UK time for all platforms, no excuse not to theses days.

    Something to do with steam, pretty sure the people have to do something before they let it release

    Its just when steam servers refresh and new releases/ sales go live.

    You can get it released at anytime, if you pay more, but that's usually only AAA titles.

    I'm on Xbox but i can't see it in the store or on the games add on page? Is this just me being impatient or are others not finding the DLC too?

    Search for Blackpool on Xbox store and it should come up, that’s how I got it.
