I would prefer to see a career based profile rather than medals or achievements etc. Run 8 has the infamous “Vernometer” which keeps track of...
Interesting further thoughts re the US route. Reading back through the “DTG Stance on US Freight…” thread (a forum search for Tropicana will find...
One thing the manual doesn’t mention, that I can see, is I assume same as on the 87 if you isolate a traction motor to make the run more, ahem,...
I would choose not. Even if some simplification is unavoidable, subjecting such a magnificent beast to the dumbing down steam currently requires...
Ah but even the sun brings forth train thoughts. Enjoying a nice walk with Mrs Vern around the Wiltshire Downs this afternoon, thoughts turned to...
There's a few bridges on the Inlandsbanan in Sweden where the track shares a bridge with the road. Also IIRC there's a dual road/rail tunnel in...
No.
Oh true enough. My “potato” which has been scorned on here several times, can do Forza Horizon 4 and Dirt Rally 2 very well - that’s with an I7...
Most definitely on DTG if they didn't realise the implications of what they signed, particularly knowing they were going down this path of an...
Yes it’s a silly omission as if you do a scenario outside Journey mode it does get ticked off. But not a timetable run.
Watching some guy going by the handle of RichyRails earlier, made some interesting predictions. UK - North Wales Coast. Personally think this is...
This does not appear to have been sorted. Currently running a timetable service in Journey (might be 1S80, 17xx from Preston) and the weather has...
Not all the Mark Ones were cosy though. The later build, as tended to be used on the LM services pre Mk3 sleeper were the newer build that had...
There are no commercial Irish routes in Trainz. There is a smattering of locos and rolling stock for the south and a few items for the north on...
Well considering we are getting a fleet of Mark 2F’s and the RMB buffet car, the price is reasonable. Almost certain these will pop up as a layer...
It’s a slippery slope though. Drop Gen 8 and raise the requirements and suddenly you have a whole raft of PC players running older hardware who...
I believe there are 36 individual timetable runs, which will amount to over 40 hours of gameplay. Plus 5 scenarios. Think the Journey mode...
My standard response to these MP request threads is… Try SimRail and Run 8 then come back and see if you still think it’s a good idea. SimRail...
If they outsource to Rivet then fair enough but their work needs to be triple and quadruple checked and if need be given a buff by the in house...
Raise a ticket and DTG will sort it for you.
Well the track laying is a bit shonky, instant gradient transitions but like HRR you have two different routes between the end points and IMHO...
1.Steam, so far as we know, is dead in TSW. 2. A Big Boy is going to push the limited steam capacity of Simugraph beyond its limits. 3. If the...
That must have been it. Though in my defence, m’lud, I had just finished a very satisfying run on WCMLOS with an 87 having taken one traction...
Heat must be getting to OP. Hey, why not take a break from the forum and, you know, actually go and play the game (as in TSW5). It doesn't hurt,...
Good shout on the route but needs to be BR Classic to fully tickle my urges.
Think you will have a long wait. AFAIK Just Trains are now working exclusively on TSW products and again, various Irish projects have been...
Most of the US suggestions are far too long and disregard the fact the big freight railroads are not talking to DTG and that Metra have previously...
Neither of these really need any introduction as they have been discussed numerous times in the various JT threads… Class 108 DMU. Far more at...
The 745’s… forever known in railway circles as Basils. As in Fawlty.
“All you had to do was follow the damn train, CJ.”
Just bear in mind for PC it will be at least a year if not two after consoles before we see GTA6, so no real competition there. And, while I...
If DTG gave us a choice between a steam loco and a Class 120 Cross Country DMU or a Class 201 - 207 Thumper DEMU, then steam can go back in the...
Oh indeed, I figured that was probably the case...
And as I said in the "doomed" thread, at this point we do not know the answer. TSW6 could go either way. If we get some meaningful core and QOL...
Off at a slight tangent, but I hope if we do get a debranded version they will fix the issue with the F40 where you blow the PCS out when trying...
My first thought was do we really need yet another thread at a tangent about TSW6. Quite impossible to say whether it is “doomed” as it’s not...
Great, as in Great Western, could even be an original GWR Broad Gauge Line. Complete with Railway “Policemen” signalling the trains and Brunel...
Exactly as my point above. The only information we have is that the situation is ongoing and they hope to resolve. We are not automatically...
I will check it out later, thanks!
Your best bet is approaching the people who did the Irish routes for MSTS, if they’re even still about. The fact that in 18 years of TSC...
Thanks for confirming about the Journey mode. A shame core performance wasn’t mentioned but it is what it is, the last update did make things run...
Indeed. Performance wise the 86 will be like the 87 with a traction motor isolated. And Tom did say on his stream the sounds are subtly different...
I thought the official stance is that negotiations are still proceeding, including whether Caltrain will be amenable to the unbranded version.
Actually Riviera Line potentially good in the early to mid 90’s. Last of the Heritage DMU’s but also Pacers and Sprinters. HST’s and loco hauled,...
The main issue with the 170 as noted is the almost complete lack of track running sounds and a few oddities at speed with the engine sounds....
Didn’t get a chance to watch the stream live. Just wondered how many questions from this thread were answered, including mine about Journey Mode...
We seem to have two parallel threads running about steam potential in TSW6. However my gut feeling is unless there are fundamental changes to the...
I would like to see steam get a fair representation but it needs to be done properly and the existing content overhauling to function more...
I just instinctively reach for the “3” camera!
The irony is, all the potential Western Region routes would be far more interesting if set back 40 or so years. Fewer trains but more variety of...
Separate names with a comma.
