Since the release of TSW3 and the Class700 emu dlc for TSW3 and up, i cant help but question DTG's content creation devs, how on-earth did a Class700 emu (16car consist) get through Quality Assurance, Quality Control and yet no-one at DTG has fixed this to what should be a 12car consist. Do DTG's content creation devs even know that, the UK has a passenger train coach limit of 12coaches? I have attached a screen-shot pic to show that, there is indeed a 16car class700 emu consist. I can only wish that, DTG sees this post and maybe fix this.
That just means two 8-car 700s can be spawned together. Not a bug. Same can be found with other trains, e.g. the 158 can be spawned as a 4-car (indicating two 2-car units together).
I wasnt suggesting that the, 16car consist was a bug. Just making those & DTG aware of this incorrect config and maybe they'll fix this somepoint in the near future. Anyways, in reality, the Class700 emu has the following consist's and since TSW is suppose to be simulating the real thing, there should only be the following configs... * 8car empty/loaded * 12car empty/loaded
If I remember correctly (don’t quote me on this) but DTG Didn’t add the /1 Variant because of “Console Memory Issues” or something of the nature. That’s why it doesn’t and will (most likely) never layer on to LBN.
I'm well aware of the number of carriages they're supposed to have. I've just spawned a "16-car" 700, and it gave me 2 8-car ones coupled together. All it means is you'll get two 8-car units coupled together. Which means you'd spawn a 16-car consist formed of two 8-car units. As I've said. It'd be an incorrect description otherwise. Nowt wrong on their end.
I think you've mis-understood my message. What im saying is, there shouldnt be 16car period. There should only be 8car and 12car.
Each train is formed of 8-cars (as represented in TSW), but when coupled together it would be 16-cars total. Not that hard to understand. Spawn one of them, count the number of carriages, and you will see that it is a 16-car train formed of two 8-car units. Not a 16-car train formed of one 16-car unit, which if you'd actually spawned one and checked, you would see. The point being, while it says 16-cars, it is actually two 8-cars together.
I understand that but thats not my point nor question. Again, Im not asking on how to spawn a 16car class700 emu dlc train. Im saying im unable to use 12car class 700 because the 16car config being present should've been a 12car not 16car. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_700
Only the 700/0s (the 8-car ones) are in TSW, the 700/1s (the 12-car ones) aren't (it's even described as being the /0 variant which is good enough of an indicator to anyone who knows the configurations). They never modelled the 12-car variant, it doesn't exist therefore cannot be spawned. All I was explaining that the 16-car config means two 8-cars coupled together. It doesn't mean the 12-car has been misnamed as a 16-car.
Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick, but: OP is asking why there is a 16 car (2x 8 coach consist) 700/0 as TL don't run these prototypically (I don't know if TL do or not, but this is your point I think?) OP is saying that irl TL only operate 8 or 12 car consists TSW only has the 8 car modelled, the 12 car is not in-game unfortunately - though it does exist IRL. If 16 car (2x 8 coach consist) aren't prototypical (i.e. TL doesn't run in multiple), no clue why they are there. The 16 coach config present is unrelated to the 12 car - the 16 is merely 2 8 coach units coupled together. Unfortunately the 12 car is not modelled. Does this explain? Apologies again if not
You have saved me as, i was about to close this conversation as it wasnt going anywhere. All points are correct.
You literally said the 16-car consist should be fixed to what is a 12-car consist: Which I took to mean you thought they'd mislabelled it. All I've simply said is that it isn't an error and that it just means two 8-cars coupled together, and that there isn't a 12-car. And you for some reason decided to be rude about it.
