1. I've only tried a couple of services, but if you ensure all locos are working (by pressing the Comms On button before doing anything else) this...
True, WaveyDavey, I don't use Livery Designer, so it doesn't matter for me. The only time this affects me is in the training segments of the...
Don't you need to close the DPU circuit breaker as well? It seemed to be necessary for me, but perhaps hitting banking comms does that as well,...
I'm very happy with the frame rates, but I've only played the training missions so far.
If you're on PC, you can vary the size of the HUD using the engine.ini file: [/Script/Engine.UserInterfaceSettings] ApplicationScale=0.500
That's a very 'insider' German joke :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bielefeld_conspiracy
There are two working distance counters, one behind the driver and one in front of the second man (on the ES44AC, at least).
Yes, I was trying to get 'up north' over Easter, but the WCML is more or less shut (in various places) over the weekend. We used to look forward...
In the very first release of MSTS (2001), I remember animated deer on Marias Pass!
I'm very happy with New Journeys for £4, I just paid nearly £6 for a pint (in London, of course).
LMS 12-wheel dining or sleeping cars were regular visitors to Preston during this period, and well into the 60s.
A recent update (the one that restored Creators Club?) messed up (some/many) previous saves and left you standing alone on the tracks if you tried...
I used the Runcorn transporter bridge as a nipper, I've also often crossed the Tees on the (well-known) Middlesbrough example and been across the...
Freight runs are scored on observing speed limits and accurate stops, but not (unlike passenger runs) keeping to a timetable.
I'm on PC.
I strongly suspect that the last time a piece of bug-free computer software was written, it was a 'Hello World' program in Basic. I've a mate...
I have this problem on GWE as well.
I restarted a saved game (on Tharandter Rampe) and just got dropped into the middle of the tracks, no train!
My favourite was the Griddle Car - particularly happy memories of breakfasts on the up Royal Highlander from Inverness (they didn't run to...
I don't disagree, but the market for flight simulator software is far larger than train simulators. Once third party developers have reached the...
Yes, if Manchester was at the same latitude in N America, it would be on the southern shores of Hudson Bay. The Gulf Stream really makes a...
Tom's (excellent) IC to Brighton works a treat, but when I subscribe to the Diesel Legends, it doesn't appear on FGW (neither do a couple of other...
As we've discussed often before, I'd be prepared to pay double for a significantly longer route, as (it seems) would many other users of these...
I have to say that 2.25x DLDSR makes a great improvement on my system, even with 'only' an RTX 2070, and doesn't reduce framerate. Can anyone...
I wonder if that's because of the move to LEDs. Lightbulbs will eventually fail and then (I guess) the loco has to be taken out of service for...
But sometimes the reverse (Munich-bound near Ulm) :) [IMG]

Oversimplifying drastically, DX12 moves work from the CPU to the GPU. So if you have a fast graphics card and a (relatively) slow CPU, it can...
Performance difference between DX11 and DX12 depends on your hardware. (Very) basically DX12 moves more computation to the GPU, so if your GPU is...
If that was the front end of the train at the time of the incident, I'm amazed the driver wasn't (at least) seriously injured.
Most countries modify to some extent the names of foreign cities in their own language. The French speak of Londres and Edimbourg and nobody...
Mouth Shasta??? Curse you, autocorrect :)
The LMS had its own diesel shunters (built 1939-42), externally quite similar to a class 08, but diesel-electric rather than diesel-mechanical....
If you're in the cab, fair enough, but I often (when shunting) use exterior views (2 or 3), and then it's handy to check that you've set the...
I've got a similar spec to the OP (except an older 4790K 4GHz) - you don't say if you have a 4K screen, but I do and can run most routes at...
I'm very happy with this route (particularly as it's quite near where I grew up watching steam trains), but I think I may have to budget for a new...
That's an SR (designed, didn't appear before nationalisation), there was a temporary swap (to compare performance, as also happened with steam...
If you have a long train, it takes a long time (though not quite as long as in real life, some have said). Leave it for 10 minutes (have a...
Although the majority of the world's rail systems use right-hand running, the UK is far from unique, even in Europe. France, for example, uses...
The options change (slightly) depending on whether you've hit Esc mid-game or completed a journey/scenario. But that doesn't invalidate your point.
I agree with Crosstie that the in cab signalling now allows you to keep to time, without the slowdowns to 30 mph some miles before each station....
But they presumably ask how much you'll charge (or equivalently, how much effort will be needed). My conversations often (used to) run: Client:...
Where there's only one traction type, the letter is repeated, so GAA means British steam and no other traction type.
The Eagle was a British comic paper published 1950-69 (revived briefly in the 80s) and aimed at boys (those were sexist times ;)) aged about...
It will be interesting when steam comes to TSW (maybe in 2022 :)) - if there were a full-blown simulation of driving a steam locomotive, it would...
When the Preston-Carlisle electrification was taking place (early 70s), the WCML was closed at weekends and the Glasgow-London traffic was handled...
I accept that you wouldn't find such things on a 'pure' simulator. But if TSW was only bought by people who want a highly accurate simulator and...
Pedantically, the Metropolitan isn't a tube line, most of it is on the surface - and the part that isn't was constructed using 'cut and cover',...
Yep, a route for £2.50, that's a half of beer (or a supermarket pint :)).
JT are very good at continuing bug fixes on their products - e.g. service pack 6 came out last year for their Scottish East Coast Main Line and...
