I'm not just referring to routing, I'm referring to how TSW's implementation of Absolute Block is broken at the aspect level and impossible to...
Ignore what DTG say, look at what they do.
Peak Forest's signalling problems extend beyond the dispatcher...
Not my experience. I've only done one service (a Brighton-East Croydon Thameslink one), but I arrived 11 minutes late at East Croydon because the...
Apparently the issue with passengers not spawning on NYT has been fixed, which is good. But other routes still have this issue, though not at...
We don't know. I would imagine that though theoretically they could overrule any of DTG's decisions, in practice they leave DTG to make its own...
DTG is the publisher. Focus does not become the publisher just because they own DTG.
The devs may be passionate. The actual decision-makers may not be.
I'm interested in learning about signal scripting, in particular what sort of information signals have access to. Does anyone know anything on...
That's some fairly extreme optimism...
If you have a realistic water and fire simulation, there is no reason not to have manual firing.
I would highly advise taking a look at the signal scripting and seeing if you can find some way for the signal to read both the position and speed...
The problem is that with DTG "delayed" often means "never coming out at all".
The automatic fireman has to stoke like crazy and cause the valves to constantly blow off because it has no way of knowing when steam will be...
Manual firing is essential to driving unless they implement a mind-reading auto fireman.
The OP specifically asked "are there any additions to the steam simulation over TSW3?".
Same difference.
It being finished.
Which is not relevant to what the OP was asking about...
I strongly suspect that the TSW version of 66587 will be stripped of any Freightliner branding the real loco might carry.
I would prefer a better source than Wikipedia - and that's only referring to the also-obsolete "instanter" coupling in any case.
[citation needed]
I am fairly certain that three-link loose couplings are no longer used...
UK freight trains can have multiple locos perfectly fine; the factors restricting train length are separate.
No new steam locomotives should be made until manual firing is added.
Have you actually looked at the credits for Blackpool Branches?
Union Workshop is only two people. For comparison the Blackpool Branches dev team was in the double digits.
Of course that ignores that a lack of support for old routes and failing to deliver on promised features harms sales of future content...
In the UK where absolute block is used, yes.
Again, why does the existence of other services detract from the high-speed services? Your claim isn't even true because ECML comes with freight...
Understand if you consider this off topic or can't answer, but as you're the only person I know who's tried to make custom signals, can you give...
What's interesting is that IIRC Matt claimed around Peak Forest's release that the reason Peak Forest didn't add manual firing was because they...
There aren't that many significant speed changes between Peterborough and Doncaster either... And from TSC London-Peterborough isn't a straight...
Is this an admission that no work is done or being planned to be done on manual firing?
How is London-Peterborough a "boring A to B run" and Peterborough-Doncaster isn't?
Why does that detract from the high-speed services?
How does the majority of services being commuter services detract from the high-speed services?
If manual firing was coming with either it presumably would have been mentioned, unfortunately.
Is there any news at all on manual firing?
The problem is that DTG have not given any reason to trust them when they say "it needs a bit more time, but it's coming".
The latter.
Why am I not surprised...
For clarification - it can't start them up, but it will happily drive them around regardless.
Cold starts are actually perfectly possible in timetables - the problem is that the AI doesn't know how to start the trains up, and will happily...
I should note that Matt has been saying this for multiple years now...
So clearly you don't mind things not being perfectly accurate.
Again, I said more accurate, not completely accurate. If that's the case then surely you want there to not be 801/1s in the game at all at the...
I'm not sure I buy that a more accurate 801/1 would need that level of access.
It's confirmation that we can probably expect TSW5 in 2024 or 2025, which is not a good thing.
"Within each franchise core games are typically superseded by a new iteration after a period" sounds pretty damning...
