I honestly don't think a complex route that is nearly 200 miles long is possible in the current game engine, just think about the timetable mode...
I think the situation has changed now from previous years, TSW5 and now TSW6 at least offer a "free starter pack" so we get the new updated engine...
I would expect so, it's not particularly long so shouldn't be heavy on scenery demands but has a challenging gradient. I think the big issue with...
To be fair, while you are correct they did "run" the 85 (might have been the 84 actually come to think of it) just a few years back, lifted off...
To be fair, I did enjoy thrashing a 37 on the WHL in TSC but it was mainly because I was getting the most out of a AP enhancement pack, the...
Well the Co-Bo would be a fantastic addition, I am sure that once we have him running again there will be plenty of folks out there wanting to do...
The S&C in the 1980s was atrocious, BR were desperately trying to close it down and services were very limited. If however you mean as a present...
I fully agree though find a slight irony with your current choice of avatar Vern ;) I understand why DTG went with it, you know them getting the...
Hear hear! I was about to demand the branch to Scarborough so I trust Newcastle is an easy extension to include ;) Joking aside, yes it is a...
I am almost certain that they will be adding in some branch lines, the fact that the route is 40 miles shorter than Shap should give them plenty...
Well you said that you'd have liked a commuter style route, if when they give us more details they reveal that they have included the Wigan to...
Yes, there are still plenty of stations Crewe - Winsford - Hartford - Acton Bridge - Warrington BQ - Wigan - Leyland - Preston, the question is...
As does NTP, the enhancement pack that someone made is brilliant but it just needs more traffic more than anything else. I was on NTP last night...
Ok so I've had time to think after my initial comment yesterday (it was the only way to get through my time in the dentist's chair). I am still...
I've not seen anything other than the "ticket" thing posted earlier however I am delighted with this, I had "called it" months ago when the 86 was...
I can't sit through all the "pat each other on the back" in the video, can someone give me a quick rundown as what has been announced so far? I'm...
It is a shame as there is so much potential, even with the route as it is. Ok so they don't want to give us new locomotives (really need some...
Yeah certain Gronks have specific workings, like the Hardendale workings are only available to the rather well weathered loco. Some are "based"...
Not OP here, TfW did use 175s but then briefly replaced them with 158s (usually just a single set) on the NWC-Airport route, 150s and 153s did...
There was a mega lash-up a couple of years back with something like 5 x 153s on a Manchester to Carmarthen service ;) You are right though, the...
Apologies, was just going from the default date of June 5th :)
Which would be a bit of an irony if it is not included in the pack given that it is set in June 1986 (though totally understandable).
You may joke but I have wanted the Disneyworld Monorail in TSW for years, when I visited as a nipper back in 1993 it was my second favourite ride...
Out of interest when this has happened had you already done one "run" and stayed in game to do another? I've noticed that problems can build up at...
So I've only been able to do one run today (been a long day flying to Kos and back with work) but managed to do Preston to Carlisle with 86239...
Heads up gang, JT have put the manual online, enjoy some light reading or looking at pictures ;)...
So TSW uses the "Unreal Engine" right? Surely they could give us a gun, nudge nudge ;)
In theory the non-London services which are currently operated by the 87 will be replaced by the 86, they are sadly not subbing the 86 in on the...
I agree, starting a railtour by "loading passengers" to find that all of the carriages empty and you then run the tour empty due to the stupid set...
We might finally get the Fife Circle 158 timetable that DTG have been allegedly sitting on for the last 4+ months...
I do think a fair number of you are missing the joke here, that DTG have become so predictable in releasing a new TSW every year now that we...
Class 08s could be pushed up to 20mph in some cases but their top speed operationally was 15mph, the Class 09 which is almost identical has a top...
Seriously? I'd have asked if you guys were able to read a room but given the whole Thomas debacle you're clearly not. TSW3 is broken, TSW4 is...
So how many buffet cars are you having in your first consist Vern? To be fair given how DTG have been in the past, it is justifiable to believe...
The Manchester bound platform at East Didsbury doesn't have the right clearance with the train, pulled in on a 323 and it's partially clipping...
I believe they came in at the last update earlier this week, not been on myself yet to have a look at how it works but it was mentioned in the...
I'm not naming names but one of our pres loco owners will have a right grumble if you leave the wipers on whilst sat in a station for more than a...
Yeah I remember them on the Atherton line, being young and foolish I used to sulk when some rickety old slamdoor turned up but when a shiny new...
On TSC you can be penalised for "improper horn use" however in the real world there are numerous reasons why you can sound the horn and that is...
Yes that is the same one, it was a branch coming off and running around Runway 24R and down to the construction site for 24L, after work was...
I've said that myself a few times now, though with the Liverpool to Wigan branch too allowing one to recreate the Liverpool-Scotland services with...
Google AI's response to 323s is that apparently they were designed as 6-car sets, news to me and it didn't cite proper sources so clearly was...
I noticed that too along with no passing trains (though I only watched MAN-MIA), I suspect that maybe for the stream they loaded a version that...
So I watched a bit of the stream, only the first run from Piccadilly to the Airport and thought I'd share my opinion as someone who is on that...
You're pretty much right on the nail there Vern but don't forget, 47s were the "standard traction" that everyone signed, well not sure how that...
Only speaking from experience on the Manchester Airport line, if it's an all shacks stopper then the stations are only 2-3 minutes apart (not...
As it currently stands there are no scheduled A350 flights to Gatwick so that's a moot point. If you are on PC and can download mods, the BML...
There's far more interest in the JT86 than CL4 though, maybe putting a week between them should have been enough.
Yeah so the Sunday service only sees the TFW, EMT and Avanti services operating with the Northern and TPE services cancelled at short notice, you...
Run8 does look pretty decent to be fair, I'd never heard of it until now. Looking at the graphics I wouldn't be as harsh to say they are MSTS...
