What sort of yellow? There are many kinds, and they can often mean 30 or even 40.

Which platform are you on? On console the trains are half-sized and so, yes, the same traction allotment as on PC would be overkill.

Clinchfield, although Sherman Hill is growing on me now that it runs at an acceptable framerate. Haven't bought HSC so I can't judge it. In...

What went wrong with FSW was getting its market sector stomped by an 800-pound gorilla.

If the boundary fences were located as historically, in many cases out of sight of the tracks, "purists" here would scream about missing fences.

Somehow I just find this incredibly funny coming from an outspoken devotee of British Railways.

GTA V sold 11 million copies in its first 24 hours.

Dude points out that as a one-man operation without payroll or other fixed costs, he can put in way, way more man-hours on a product than an...

It's hardly surprising that TSW streams are a bit attenuated what with Natalie having left and her replacement not yet up to speed. That means...

A part of the Frankfurt-Strasbourg run would be possible, given that DTG already have French assets and safety systems done.

What I got from Matt's comments is that up to now they have had a "head" of QA, but the new "director" will have more authority and internal...

This. Most US diesel tutorials begin with the cold start procedure- which is never, ever actually used in a service.

In fairness, Cane Creek and Arosa are A to B straight shots, mostly single-tracked and with very little traffic.

Three of those fans are to cool the dynamic brake resistor banks; they don't turn unless DB is on.

Look again- there are 8 axles.

By the time a consist is made up with all engines started and just waiting for the exit signal, the brakes should be mostly charged up. You're...

And Cane Creek, although it has its defects, is overall quite a good route. Yeah, that reversed truck is embarrassing, but from the cab I can't...

They don't release at an "unrealistic" speed and the air doesn't flow any faster than it did.. In fact what was unrealistic was having a...

PIS has never worked in scripted Scenarios- only in Timetable and Free Roam (foot) modes.

Since I favor US freight, those runs can often take more time than I have available in one sitting- this is doubly and trebly the case if I want...

Steam releases never pop until midafternoon US Eastern time.

IRL that clip is for train orders, in other words temporary changes to the published timetable. In the old days the timetable + train orders...

The possibilities with US 1st-gen diesels are endless.

Nah, they would only do that a couple of days before the DLC, so that they are working with a release build. Besides, I have heard that they are...

Well, DTG did warn about that, and recommended players not go for new TVL medals until after today's patch.

You put the loco at the back of a long string of cars. In real life, as each car approaches the top of the hump, yard workers will uncouple it as...

Yes, on PC my TS2Prototype-WindowsNoEditor-BostonProvidence.pak file was updated as of today 11 April, but the patch notes say nothing about it.

The issue was this: with the introduction of Livery Designer compatibility to the TVL 101, they found themselves in a bind, because heretofore DTG...

No UK steam engine had air brakes. All vacuum.

You're gonna love this then- DRG was running cab cars with steam engines back in the 30s.....

The basic problem behind trying to model any Amtrak diesel is that they don’t really run, anywhere, more than a couple if times a day. The few...

It goes beyond that though; any substitution option will also spawn on AI trains, and it was getting to the point that there were almost as many...

I find it interesting that with the GEVOs GE abandoned its traditional control desk and adopted an EMD-style control stand layout, even the...

I can’t see the C44-9W being a serious candidate, since it would be effectively identical to the AC4400 except for very small physics difference

There was nothing “cut out”, because the TSW route is a completely different product from the TS route, built from the ground up. (Also set in a...

You cant talk about British steam without Thomas At least, not if you’ve ever had kids

OMG! UNPLAYABLE!!!!!!!!!

Overall looks very good, and running long heavy trains over th 3% South Fork should be fun. Very minor ticks: Traffic on the British side of the...

The issues with the "stock" boil down to a) the AC4400's ride height, which was corrected; b) its reversed truck, which is sloppy and annoying,...

But TSW was not made to replace TSC, but to complement it. TSC is still there, it hasn't vanished into "Nolongersupportedland" like TSW1/2020

Although TSW does not at present model coupler failure, you can still experience that standing wave effect if you drive rough, especially on...

AudioQualityLevel does nothing in the engine.ini file; it needs to be in the GameUserSettings.ini

Alas, the 32-channel limit is an unfortunate aspect of Unreal 4, so it applies to all platforms.

That would seriously anger those with large collections of TSW2 DLC.

The forthcoming 420 represents the units that were completely overhauled in 2014-16 and would be all wrong on a vintage route

Train Sim Redemption?

Or "A Hard Day's Night" for a nighttime scenario with complications.

Would require new Dostos; the existing 3rd-gens aren't right for the IC2.

Kind of surprised they missed out "Ticket to Ride" and "Day Tripper."
