And change back to sunny. Why is it, once it descends into the sort of violent thunderstorm which would get headline coverage on the news...
I would say most of the classic BR stuff in TSW actually has very good physics, though you won't find me disagreeing about the state of steam...
It would really have benefitted too had DTG used it as the steam test bed and made a Pannier tank and Hall for the line, along with some ex GWR...
Yes it is a bit short really, particularly when set against ECML. And the Journey Mode could have done with a bit more to do before finishing,...
Rapid Transit would be okay if they fixed the almost silent train sounds and I believe the PZB is also broken. But it's so old, I fear not only...
Indeed, it was very much a prototype within TSW but now everyone at DTG has their feet under the table, so to speak, a makeover and extension...
Absolutely this. Which is by and large why my TSC route purchases are limited to what's on Steam and a complete package. Trawling round numerous...
The only drawback with RSN is that it should have fully emulated the TSC (old Rail Simulator) route and gone all the way from Hagen to Siegen....
I went for RSN (they could fix that broken 363 scenario at the same time), NTP, TVL, ECW and Arosa.
It's a lovely route, but as noted the 25 MPH speed limit can make even the gorgeous remake a bit tedious, especially on the coastal stretch where...
There is a difference between realistic and pleasurable vs. realistic and boring…
I think with DTG it's more the case of unfulfilled potential, where they stopped short of what was needed for a top class route. SoS - well we all...
North Wales Coast 1985, please! Or WCML Lancaster to Carlisle with the Windermere Branch, similar era. Though I guess their forte might also...
1983?! Day One please take £40 off me.
Well yes. Rivet’s banal attempt at Fife Circle. Then looks like the next keynote releases are going to be another cab car for the German stock,...
The other problem with US freight on the consoles is the lack of available button mashes for the more complex control system. It can also be...
Fairly sure I have suggested something similar in the past, even the BN Funnel from Sandpoint to Spokane would combine fast running, with nice...
And they also need to look at the gameplay strategy for US freight. In terms of running trains it is much less regimented than passenger or even...
I thought it might be. Of course the TSC version also lacks all the features we would get in TSW, opening cab windows (if it’s got them), open the...
As noted earlier, based on experience with the TSC version - claustrophobic cab with a tiny window, nearly as bad as the 385, no real perceptible...
It's very odd as American freight seems to be thriving in TSC (Tennessee Pass just released) and Run 8 goes from strength to strength. Yet TSW...
Well that would be better though it seems unlikely DTG would do a three train bundle when they barely give us one these days with a new route....
Oh not begrudging those that like them, just if you're playing these games for a bit of traction sound, aka thrash, then the cab car driving...
Same here. I just fired up TSC and drove both. The 380 is pretty much the same as the 385 - hardly any forward view and no traction noise. The...
At this point if you can live without the routes that only run on TSW4, unless it gets another heavy discount in a sale might be worth waiting to...
Well I just had a quick bimble in the TSC 380 and my suspicions were confirmed. It's another one handled abomination with a claustrophobic cab,...
ISTR the 235's were slightly better in that the seats were upholstered with cloth, but still pretty nasty not extending all the way up to the...
And second class passengers on the D Trains were usually dumped in a BM232 compartment coach with hard plastic seats that didn't even extend all...
Really not a fan of driving from cab cars. Can this be equipped with an option to pipe in the sound from the loco. please?!
And while I know the cab car is wanted by some of the German players, to me driving from them is dull as ditchwater, no traction sound and in the...
As I just posted in the other thread, poor choice vs. a 320 or even a 303. Another EMU with a letterbox view out the cab, maybe not as bad as the...
I would actually have preferred a 303 or, at worst, a 320 as the ones on the TSC North Clyde route actually sounded pretty good, traditional AC...
Are we sure it’s not an April Fools joke?
This. Cathcart is okay but round and round with a 380 is not something you’re going to want to do many times in a row. Better if it came with a...
Very true. I know I’ve been going on about Run 8 and the new switchers the last couple of days, but yesterday evening still found myself back in...
This would be a ,lovely route but I fear lots of work with two major stations at either end. I would also be torn as both Carlisle and Newcastle...
English please!
Belated Happy Easter…
Got to agree there! Been caught out numerous times by those speed approach signals and I seriously doubt the real Met and Circle Line etc could...
Also the Class 484 sounds nothing like my recollection of how D78 stock sounded. A bit too growly and just off to my ear. Now whether that's...
Well if QD in TSC had the ability to define station calls and checked you against it, that would probably suffice. Surprised they never added that...
Have said on more than one occasion, if we could get the capability in TSC to have an all day timetable same as TSW, then the latter would be...
Exactly my point! And even in the case of the JT Met, I waited until the route was on sale and bundled with the S7+1. Never yet bought the S8....
And the other anachronism that I don’t think has been mentioned yet, is why should Rivet get the same pay day for the banal carp they put out as...
Something else we do in the microwave is (home made) custard. Using the milk pan inevitably end up with burnt on brown bits on the bottom which...
No price shown yet on Steam though and what has happened to the improved SP game and checkpoint system? The ET22 looks nice though and providing...
Thanks JetWash, will grab later and enjoy.
Good point actually! Same with the North American freight routes.
