For me the F40PH's engine audio completely disappears in Notch 8. Anyone experiencing the same?
More beautiful TOD4 images from Boston. Night lighting might be good (have not tried it myself yet), but daylight lighting is totally broken....
Boston Sprinter doesn't seem to be mentioned a lot in this thread, so I will go ahead and post my findings. Broken lighting at Boston South...
I assume that is realistic. In the US there are several stations where the trains overhang the platform. On LIRR and Harlem Line you will also...
A shame, because I was planning on getting this livery pack.
From what I have seen so far here on the forums, the UP liveries are horrible quality for paidware content. A bussiness actually has to provide...
For Boston it's great fun. Increases traffic and variety on an already busy route route and is well done.
Damn. It's not going to be a full price purchase then. Might just stick to the CC version for now, lol.
Not me, lol. Got the Acela, but not this one yet. In it's current state, it's clesrly rushed and full of issues. Will probably wait and see what...
Damn. Wanted to get the UP Livery pack, but after seeing these posts, I might just forget about it. Really low quality.
Yeah, I have noticed that in the preview stream as well.

Not the best shots, but fitting the theme and LIRR deserves some love too. Route: Long Island Rail Road Train: LIRR M7 EMU [IMG]
By the way, it has always bothered me in Boston Sprinter that the SPG freight cars on the sidings don't use livery substitution. Well, the...
Nah, tunnel lighting is broken on many places on PC as well. Weird flashes as you enter them, also trains at covered stations like Boston, Boston...
Yeah, some new freight cars would have been good, even if just repainted ones from other routes. Is the livery pack good, by the way?
I have to agree, only had time to do only one run yet on Boston, but it was great!
I remember Boston Sprinter having quite bad performance in TSW2 as well. Now with TOD4 it seems a bit more worse as well.
Same. Sure, they saved a bit of development time and cost this way, but how many sales and how much reputation are they losing each release this way?
Yes, I believe Matt has already confirmed once that they did plan on adding LIRR, but didn't have the time. That's pretty cool. Hopefully it...
At least in the case of LIRR, one could sort of understand the lackluster timetable, as it was because of the broken signalling. Of course, still...
Well empty mastery goes along well to the empty timetable, lol.
They are not free. Only the update containing the lighting fixes and new signalling for Boston Spinter and Sherman Hill are free. Not the trains.
So what happened here? They started building up the timetable starting from the morning then ran out of time? Lol.
Just 10 NEC line services for the whole day? Damn, that's ridiculous. This is a certified LIRR moment.
What do you mean? Other than the old NEC route from TSW2020, everything from TSW2020 and TSW2 are available in TSW3.
Really? If so, then that's pretty sad.
So livery substitution is finally better on SMH than it used to be? I remember that previously some cars had livery substitution, while others...
Yeah. LIRR is full of interesting situations and sights when you actually encounter other trains during your runs. Like waiting at Jamaica and...
The current version technically is not unplayable as it has a lame and empty timetable. Matt was describing the more busy timetable as unplayable,...
I also have a LIRR scenario that keeps getting removed. At first, it was getting removed on a daily basis. One by one, I started removing words...
That used to happen in old TSW routes, not happy to see it's back.
You still have catenary wires in dead zones, except they don't have electricity in them. I suppose they talked about them because visually they...
Track speed limit is over 120MPH, but being an MBTA train, ACSES limits you to 90 MPH. And since the single level coaches you are pulling are...
Alongside "pedel", I also liked it when Matt used the pantograph switch, the game awarded him for "using the headlights".
Trains being on time in Boston would be actually less realistic, lol.
Scenery looked good and I have to admit, the trains looked very nice. But as it was expected, the route is really empty. Not LIRR levels of...
I thought the Acela only releases tomorrow?
Did a run with the ACS-64 (original livery) and the display seemed fine on my end. Will do more runs and see if I notice anything.
Well what a surprise, the new lighting is totally broken... For starters, what the hell is this horrible contrast between the inside and outside...
Can you imagine the number of bugs that route will have, considering they couldn't even finish the timetable properly? Imagine the rush...
For one, the screens itself look too washed out - though that might be acceptable if it's because of the sunlight hitting it. The bigger problem...
Look at the "CLEAR 125" and "70" display on the right screen. Looks messed up.
It wasn't mentioned in the patch notes, so I assume they did not fix this at all.
Ouch, that hurts to look at. Worst case of the tunnel entry flash I've seen so far.
Why am I not surprised? Of course they had to mess it up somehow... Anyway, I have not had the opportunity to try it myself yet, but will do so...
Yes, I believe many people here already did the math and came to the conclusion that some services are missing even if we only count the NEC...
GWE and LIRR. GWE is good, but too short, it could use an extension. LIRR needs either a whole overhaul (like NEC) or at least a signalling fix...
Yeah, I do wonder if they made it work properly for this release. Or if they even made any changes to it.
As others have said, I don't think the low number of services is a problem when it is realistic. Just take a look at Cane Creek, for example. You...
