I always assumed 'Bill' was just a little in-joke from a 'solicitr', but perhaps he's a William - my real name isn't 'Quentin' :).
Indeed, but this is usually an 'end of scenario' case, where there's only a mile/km or two to run.
geloxo's 'trick' worked brilliantly on my system, eliminating the regular 'micro' stutters I was getting. Makes you wonder why Microsoft would...
Of course they could, but not necessarily Xmas 2021. :)
Sound advice from Leadcatcher, but if you SPAD and have forgotten to save, there's always the "return to last checkpoint" option (assuming you...
I've also had instances where, following a save/resume, the banking comms had stopped working and needed an off/on to reset it. Sometimes it's...
Incidentally, does anyone know exactly what the "0 MI" in the top left of the display is telling us? It appears to be related to distance...
For me, the only vital engine.ini tweak is the: [/Script/Engine.UserInterfaceSettings] ApplicationScale=0.500 to reduce the size of the HUD.
Yes. I've noticed (and made a bug report) that after loading a saved game, the banking comms link is (can be) broken and needs an off/on to reset...
Microsoft have made those games downloadable (free) apps rather than bundling them into the Windows installation.
I think another 'Save' bug may be contributing to this problem. I was running a consist with 'banking comms on' and the units were working...
I'm sure many people know this, but for a quick way to return to default engine.ini settings without losing all your careful past tuning, simply...
foliage.LODDistanceScale has a significant impact. Mine was set to 3 => 15 fps; comment it out, and it's back over 30fps, which I'm happy with.
Bought and downloaded at 2:30pm UK time. Tip for the introduction, don't do what I did and put it into notch 2 to start moving - the power lever...
For those not overly familiar with Sherman Hill, Trains magazine have a recent article here, including a map. (I don't think it's paywalled)
I run at 4k with Ultra settings at 100% screen size, plus a few tweaks to engine.ini, and my 2070 delivers ~40 fps, so your 3070 should be fine...
I don't have any inside knowledge, but given that it's another Dresden route, it would surely be a bizarre decision not to use the same team, as...
Hardly a game breaker, but I found this 'acrobat' busking at Gatwick rather amusing![ATTACH]
A new generation console (if you can find one!) will play the game quite happily without breaking the bank. But PC sims have always required...
Broadly speaking DX12 moves work from the CPU to the GPU, so if you have an old CPU and a high-end graphics card you should see an improvement, if...
DX12 is off by default, your PC is (almost certainly) capable of running it, but the game won't use it unless you set it as a startup option...
I agree with your point about the i7 versus i5. It may be worth your experimenting with DX12, which offloads some work from the CPU to the GPU -...
That's very similar to my setup (albeit i7 4790K and 16GB), and Dresden is perfectly playable (40fps except for some of the 'busy' sections) at 4K...
The cathedral is only visible in the distance from the rail line, unlike (say) Cologne. Creating a precise replica, when only the three towers...
It's the Thameslink services (that don't run into Victoria) which stop at (almost) every station.
Great stuff! I've pointed out several times before how ridiculous the aircraft models are in TSW, with their engines hung near the wing tips. It...
Replayed them straight through with no problems, so I'm blaming the Save/Resume function.
You can't tell immediately, but it appears you're much more likely to experience a red light that never clears further on in the run. On the GX...
I can't comment on whether the volume of the DSD is correct, but it's certainly not attention-grabbing (unlike the AWS) and easy to miss if you're...
On both the runs I've tried (the first 'journey' on GX and a scheduled run in the 377 from Reigate) I've ended up deadlocked by the scheduler,...
5.8GB download for me (that's more than just the Meissen branch, of course). The new branch does look rather spiffing!
I upgraded my 4 year old PC (it sounds like yours is at least as old) with an RTX 2070, and it runs in 4k and Ultra settings at 40fps, so I agree...
By the time I've saved enough, the 4000 series will be out. :o
I have to restart the wipers after a reload on the Dresden route.
There's a daily Amtrak each way on Horseshoe Curve, but I doubt it will be represented in the gameplay. You can watch the Curve live on YouTube...
I got the same thing but with a 146.2 at each end (playing the Dresden 'journey', one of the early scenarios). As stated, such formations are...
I'm not asking for a detailed aircraft model, just one that looks vaguely like an actual aircraft that could fly. The current one doesn't - it's...
I'd be surprised if they produce monsters like 844 or 4014 as their first steam model. I'm expecting an 0-6-0PT for the WSR.
If LGW does have them, let's hope they're a better representation of a generic aircraft than the ones that overfly Köln Hbf, with their engines...
Very nice. One (tiny) snag - on training sessions the indicators showing you which button/lever to use next are now in the wrong place. But I...
Which may be fine if you're starting from 120fps, not so good if you start with only 40fps.
The game renders it at a larger size and then scales it back to fit the screen. It's supposed to help with anti-aliasing artefacts, but if you...
Taking out the -DX12 lost me a few fps. I suspect the effect depends on the balance between CPU and GPU speed for each particular PC. My rig...
True. And not only that, hardly any two players are playing the game in the same way. Some people like scenarios, some timetable; some like...
I think the upgrade has taken the stop marker settings (and most other things) back to the defaults, which is on. They've always been separate...
It's been suggested deleting the game and then reinstalling everything might work.
The full game (with all DLCs) takes up ~250GB when installed, so the download is only about 40% of that (and being an engine upgrade *everything*...
My download is 80GB, and some players who have *everything* report 100GB. Steam reserves the space before starting the download, so (for those...
I was worried about disk space for a moment, because mine had dropped from 120Gb to 40GB free with less than half the (80GB) transfer done, but it...
Separate names with a comma.
