What’s fascinating is that over on the other side of the track, so to speak, we have the Polish railway operators allowing unprecedented access to...
I usually try and keep 2 or 3 km/h under the speed limit, keep a margin in hand. Same going uphill, I'll normally set the wheel to the value one...
You should be able to keep the speed in check using the loco dynamic brake, just watch the sudden gradient changes. Blend the vacuum brake in and...
A bunch of individual train simmers petulantly haranguing SBB about it is not likely to carry much weight. If anything it would probably just...
Yes I am aware of that. Well they should actually have a clue what they are doing before attempting to build what they don’t really understand....
Possibly means when walking around out of the driver’s chair. On PC there is an undocumented Ctrl-0 command that lets you do this. Quite useful if...
Only in so far as SHG seemed to get it right with the 158, but agree re the other stuff.
PC's suffered and to some extent still do from the price gouging and short supply that accompanied the crypto farming fad a few years back. Also...
Years ago I had an (official) cab ride from Crewe to Rugby on a Class 86 and if you thought the WCML was rough in the passenger stock it was...
As WCL came up yesterday evening on my randomiser system for TSW, I had to torment myself driving the wretched thing from St Austell to Penzance...
That would be the sensible option, align with the TSC business model and sell us a decent set of DLC or a Season Pass. Well, less than a week...
I would imagine putting anything through a Swiss court would be prohibitively expensive and the moment SBB mention the risk of terrorism or...
So long as they don’t follow suit. Also at this stage just be grateful it’s only the trains and cabs that have been affected. If people push back...
Where else can you find a station called Kubovka Hut! And both the CD Class 749 "Grumpies" (in original noisy form) and the dinky little 810...
Only if they include the Northampton Loop. TBH IRL not sure why they called it Daventry Freight Terminal. I mean it's not exactly in Daventry...
Not creepy per se, but a bit of character. Sadly I still find Rivet's take on the 484 a bit off. Seems to accelerate way too briskly and at times...
I like the idea of early morning light mist, slowly clearing to a beautiful sunny day. (And not having a biblical thunderstorm five minutes later).
Coming back from posting similar thoughts in the TSC section... SBB are getting funny over too much cab and driving detail, yet as many routes are...
Well the next big Steam sale isn't until November and the September date is also going to coincide with the likely release of TSW5/the 2024 big...
And DTG also continue to decorate routes, particularly in TSW, with grafitti in locations that could only have been accessed IRL by trespassing...
That is one good looking beast!
Boldly go where no train sim has gone before! (And I’m not going to plug the Bermuda Railway again, ah…).
Exactly. Time to spread wings, see how receptive other European railways are. Czech Republic, Slovakia, the various Balkan countries, Scandinavia....
I'm still having to work on agreement for a Windows compliant hardware update for the PC!
Well think it's fair to say after the LIRR business that DTG always come down on the side of compliance. However it does beg the question that...
But that is only used in exceptional circumstances and at very low speed. ATO is used on Glasgow Subway in TSC and literally all you do is push a...
It's nothing new unfortunately. Union Pacific were massively opposed to anything sim related at one point, then suddenly did a 180. Then there was...
I do remember reading something to that effect. Mind so far as TSC is concerned I do believe DTG have laid aside in house route production in...
ATO, no thanks.
I actually created a loose interpretation of the Alston branch for MSTS many years ago!
Another option to do a Swiss route is to model the geography but switch location to another country. That's what RSC did all those years ago with...
I am getting the sneaky feeling that expert level may well end up being a one off, given the stance we are now seeing from SBB and if other...
Given the news about SBB, the previous situation with LIRR and the general, “Man from US freight railroad says, “no””, predicament it seems to be...
As I commented in the TSW section, do SBB also plan to try and extend this to MSTS or Trainz content that is already out there and for which no...
Alston branch although that closed in 1976 I believe. An earlier era does bring more variety in terms of freight. If the SIAM Carlisle 1973...
Strange contrast with LIRR who insisted that safety systems are fully on all the time and just removed a couple of procedures for starting the...
So long as it's not applied retrospectively to what we've already got. SBB not a huge loss though it would have been nice to have got the...
Actually if I paid £500 for a model railway train-set, I'd be frightened to take it out the box! :)
Well we are still not really supposed to be discussing what was in the NDA breach/leak. But speaking hypothetically, it would be rather silly if...
Another one popped in my head. Equalise the AP system. Ridiculous that you can get 20k+ points for a 40 minute run on Bakerloo, but a 90 minute US...
I like the idea of a career tracker and wouldn’t mind an optional career mode. But I can see the howls from some quarters if you buy a new route...
And the next one - Three Of Clubs, Blackpool Branches very nice! Oh no and now Cane Creek!
Also very much scope to build as a BR Classic route. The Class 101 DMU's were the most widely used type on the line. Class 47 on freight, maybe...
Dynamic weather needs to go both ways, i.e. not just start off sunny then deteriorate into a thunderstorm that lasts the rest of the run. Direct...
Not really a fair comparison. For one you're getting a real model made from real plastics and metals, which you can experience via various senses,...
Thought of one to add. In the name of all that is good, please refrain from switching the coloured track markers back on whenever we do a...
This would be a great route for TSW, linking two large rail centres and bringing both into the game. Actually quite a scenic route but sadly...
Not really an equal comparison. The various Subway Sims are ancient by any standard, I believe Hamburg was the second one they did. In fact shows...
A good era would be the early 90’s, transition from heritage DMU’s to Sprinters. Mixture of HST’s and loco hauled on inter regional services....
Not just the map but in game something like the F6 function of TSC to see where you are!
