Another weird discrepancy I noticed between the Boston and Trenton versions of ACS… Repeated a few times on the same service on NYT route, NE...
There’s definitely something different in the way the Boston and Trenton ACS-64 handle speed drops. I just tested it quick on the Boston route....
You know what, the HST is another I've always really liked. It came close to being one of my favorites... I think the only downside to it is the...
I noticed that on Providence station now, if you take the free cam and go around the outside of the building, theres all kinds of pitch black...
DTG gets hammered on here (rightly so) for some of their blunders, corner cutting, and their tendency to blast out new releases while not fully...
This has been going on forever. One thing about it is it seems to only happen to trains you spawn into. So, a way to avoid it is instead of...
I like it. I generally don't like cab cars but for whatever reason I enjoy operating this one. I always liked the sleek 60s look of...
One thing I love about it (from the Canadian POV) is it totally feels like a Canadian loco with all the bilingual labels inside. Even on the same...
Noticed a strange bug with the ACS-64 today, not major but an annoying one. It happens in different ways on both versions of the ACS-64. Trenton...
There is LOTS in this game that is not explained right. I shudder how it must be for new players buying it thinking they can learn from the...
True! I actually love that run too. Although I'd like to see more France with it (or the older TGV). I am not sure if there are any other sections...
When using the automatic brake, is there a typical throttle position you'd want to use for dynamic brakes? Or is it preference? I usually try to...
Not sure if this topic has been done recently but I thought it would be interesting to see what people's answers are. For me the factors are a...
I have been into "simulators" for probably 25 years now. The entire "simulator" vs "game" thing always amuses me. Unless it costs $15,000+ and...
In addition to the Amfleet wheel blur fix, the ACS-64 has the same issue. Both the Boston and Trenton version of the loco still have that ugly...
Not sure if this is your issue, but there is something messed up in the Acela where when you start it up, put the reverser into position BEFORE...
The new consoles, if you're connecting to a modern 4K TV with features like 120hz and VRR, there are lots of settings in between the TV and the...
I like MSFS too (crazy how well they made it run) but not perfect as anyone from Toronto could tell you: [IMG]
I think overall the game is great on console. For a sim game, operating complex equipment, I am surprised they managed to make it work so well...
I wouldn't say it that way. Acela is great. Definitely get it if you like the Acela, or trains of that type in general (higher speed/express...
NYT is a stunning one for me, with the timetable. I actually love the route in general, think it was a great choice, and the fact that it came out...
Yep. My typical thought would be if my goal is to slow down, drop throttle to 0. But not the case for using dynamics/cruise on this one. I only...
You basically answered your question there. The way the US systems are set up, is the driver is expected to know the route inside and out, and...
Personally I don't find performance worse than TSW2, TSW2 had performance issues too, especially toward the last few months before TSW3 (I guess I...
I noticed that when you open or close the doors on Acela, if you look just inside the door a little cover flies open which is where the guard...
Great post! And great train, I love it. I think it is my current fav in the game (two of my other favs are the Javelin and TGV so I guess it makes...
Have had this weird one happen a few times coming out of the Penn tunnel heading toward Trenton… Just outside the tunnel where the curve is, I...
Brandon talked a lot about that on the stream last night. The way he explained it is that in real life most drivers use the cruise control for...
I played it a bit today, and yesterday (Boston route post update before Acela). My thoughts. Acela: LOVE IT! New favourite train in TSW I think....
This worked! Not sure if it is prototypical or still a bug but doing things in that order works.

Having a strange issue with Acela on NYT... not sure if a bug or me missing something/not understanding. I am trying it on Trenton and having a...
Love this train! Just did a full run on Boston and smooth as butter (other than overshooting Rt 128 station by quite a bit). I am trying it on...
I am still buying Trenton because I really want to use the Acela outside of Boston... but the NJT timetable is disappointing. I really hope they...
Oh ok. So its braking RATE and not specific handle position that does it. Good to know.
No offense to livery creators but they rarely look anywhere close to as good as anything that comes from the actual developers.
Lmfao what? No. That's an interesting one. Outside of depot stuff and Keystone corridor (not on this route) I don't think ACS-64 should ever be...
Interesting question. On the F40, suppression is PAST full service. And I don't like putting it into that much brake, so I was trying to go 66%...
Exactly. Nowhere was it ever said that the new route was held back by Gen 8. Speculation about why the timetable isn't complete led speculation...
Can anyone break down roughly how many services should be on the line from NJT going to Trenton? And maybe how many would partially be on the line...
It probably doesn’t help that most commuter railroads are semi-government agencies. There is added bureaucracy there that leads I’m sure to less...
I’m regards to PIS: Maybe part of the issue is consistency in the US rail network itself? For Germany, the exact same PIS is at all stations so...
The big difference with the UK stuff missing traffic (example: Birmingham New St being pretty empty) is because they don't actually have the...
There is some solid valid criticism of this route on this thread but I feel like at this point I’m just reading the exact same complaints/post...
The safety systems are easy once you figure them out. One thing to remember is if you overspeed you need to brake into I think notch 6 AND...
On this specific point, I don’t know if it’s been officially addressed… but I’d almost bet my money that they will make all Acelas playable for...
US players: [ATTACH]
I can’t speak for spirit of steam since I don’t play it but the Xbox audio issue is basically fixed. I own it on both platforms (XSX and PS5) and...
I think it’s time for people to just accept the writing on the wall about TSW2 and pay the nominal fee to upgrade to TSW3. Sucks but it’s pretty...
Ok, so since we've gotten some official comment from DTG (which is appreciated) here are my thoughts on this timetable. 1. Amtrak - seems pretty...
