This is what free roam is for, you can spawn in an 802 in the timetable and drive it from Paddington to Reading among the other AI services.
I agree with you. The HST was always the star attraction of GWE and Liam has kept the route to the same era it had at launch. The modern gang...
I'm 50/50 with them myself to be honest. I think it's neat when they're there, but I won't lose any sleep if they aren't. Like you, I use the...
Hopefully to compensate, there will be a bigger list of core achievements. They'll need some with bigger completion goals if the achievements are...
Not bothered at all to be honest, the 8xx family are all very identical from a gameplay perspective and we'll have three members of that family in...
That’s a shame, hopefully it’s just an unfortunate coincidence rather than someone stealing your route idea from this forum. I echo PWilson, I...
I know, I was just joking. WCMLS also works as initials for Shap, which genuinely was the most hyped and best TSW5 UK route.
What do you mean? West Coast Main Line Shap was the most exciting and it turned out perfect ;)
To be fair, the screenshots do it more justice than the trailer. One thing that's throwing me off is the light grey ballast that is used on most...
US and Germany look like a good time :) Riviera Line is a bit underwhelming as they've done it in the wrong era, should've been 1950's with GWR...
Love this idea! Unfortunately, my local routes aren't in TSW so I can't try it for myself... unless that changes in the future and DTG add...
The Flying Scotsman's appearances vary as the services are seasonal, so certain services only appear during certain months. See this list to see...
A third party is currently making the NYMR route as we speak, though it'll likely be a while before it surfaces again on a roadmap. Personally, I...
I got to drive a real HST on the Nene Valley back in January, the brakes are slow to come off on the real thing. The driving experience...
I think it probably comes down to licensing more than anything, you don't just have to get a licence from the TOC but you have to also purchase a...
Some proper GWR locomotives, I mean the real GWR rather than the modern day tribute company. [IMG] No specific classes, just give me some...
Which is generally quite baffling to think about. Steam locomotives are a lot more attracting and appealing than these modern trains in real life,...
Overall, service mode is my favourite way to play. I do enjoy playing scenarios too as long they’re something unusual that you wouldn’t normally...
The hairstyle that T posing woman belonged to one of the male avatars in TSW2. When TSW3 came out, my male avatar hair got swapped from that one...
I remember Matt saying that though you might have completed it in service mode, you haven't done it under the specific preset weather conditions...
Slightly off topic, but I do wish this was the case for services. That way, you could completely ignore journey mode if you're going for completion.
Indeed! Opinions are subjective, there is no "wrong" opinion here :)
Steam will always be my number one choice in traction, BR era Diesel traction is second to that, then everything else follows in no particular...
Exactly, bringing back steam and putting the work into fixing it is nothing but a good thing. It gives TSW some more of that needed variety....
Agreed, they made the wrong choice starting with Liverpool - Crewe. Bigger routes like that should only come once the foundations are set and...
See, I think this is part of the problem which is making DTG avoid steam. They’ll see us saying this and think there’s no point bothering with...
Yeah, that achievement never sat well with me. It promotes overspeeding while also making a function on the unit unrealistic... Anyway, the...
All we know is that it's been picked up by DTG's third party programme, you won't hear anything more about it until an official announcement now....
I doubt GWE remastered will be downgraded from the good ol' HST to the IETs. That would be a huge disappointment. For a future GWR project, it...
This has been brought up a few times since the route came out but I'll mention it again. The speed limiter in the Azuma still needs to be...
I’m not particularly a fan of this idea. Having to get out the train, walk over to a big glowing marker to change “route” and then go through a...
That doesn’t stop them putting achievements on Steam though. There’s no limitations with achievements on Steam as far as I know, TS Classic has...
I don't see any evidence to support the claim of multiple versions of the route being out in circulation, only a post that says "The Youtuber"...
Game has way too much modern era content and needs to balance out the time periods routes are set in, including a return of the steam era. Variety...
I think they made the right choice doing a simpler route to introduce a new region. If it sold well, I expect we’ll see more Dutch routes in the...
The tutorial "E94 088 Introduction" can't be completed. It tells you to set the reverser to forward and then you get soft locked as the objective...
I wonder if they’d do the WCML Crewe - Preston stretch which is shorter than their Shap route, but also include BR era Crewe - Lime Street as...
Can’t remember the last time I played a US route. Need more historical content like Clinchfield, the modern US stuff isn’t as interesting. With...
It might be worth dropping Matt a DM directly via the forums. I'm sure he'd be enthusiastic about the project! Scenery is looking fantastic so far :)
Watched the stream earlier this morning, highly impressed by what I saw. Definitely going to be a day one purchase from me, especially loved all...
Do you mean Stellar Blade? Looking beyond its visual presentation, it’s actually a really good game. I got the platinum trophy on it for PS5 last...
Would I drop TSW if it had no mods? Not at all. I recently decided to go back and stick to playing with a vanilla install, just for simplicity’s...
Brighton Mainline is definitely a good shout by those above. If it were done in an earlier era with proper slam door stock, the hype for the route...
I know Thomas tends to trigger people in the rail community for some reason, but I highly doubt he had anything to do with the Class 86. JT...
Isn't this what free roam is for? You can load in any train and drive it within the timetable. I personally don't want to see "Off the Rails" mode...
If we're talking UI, there are a few things I'd like to see in a future TSW installment: Tutorial Medals - They've removed the results screens...
It's a perfectly valid reason. I'm on PC too and own all released content, it takes roughly a day and a half for a full download, so yes, it is...
As long as it’s not modern, any option is good! We know it’ll be top quality and that’s what matters. Plenty of other devs working on the current...
Never know, now that DTG have a licence with Mattel. Maybe that would allow potential to do a timetable based on one of their Awdry events with...
I'd actually say the third party steam locomotives in TSC are a lot better than TSW's as they are currently. I do agree that Simugraph could...
