I think that's how they were sold to the passengers: "You should be grateful that you have any trains" which was terrible. This is why I just...
You could also have an option to have real weather where the route is set or real weather where you are playing. I tend to manually set the...
Wouldn't that only work with services that match the time you were playing? So you wouldn't be able to operate a late night service in the game if...
Oh dear. So a locomotive that has ETH has nothing but the steam heat only Class 40 has a 66 ETH index.
Says 66 on the TOPS panel. Should be zero. RA should be 6 too but currently blank.
While down south we were getting new 319s and already had 455s/313s/315s/317s and previously 508s you guys up north were getting Pacers. It's a...
I have no problem with the stopping services. In fact I enjoy them more than I ever thought I would (talking 101 and 166). But Pacers? No....
You Pacer fanboys are a sensitive bunch! I'm aware of the history, thanks. Still don't like them. You Pacer fanboys are a sensitive, defensive...
Okay, thanks for letting me off. Maybe Pacers are more suited to Bus Simulator anyway.
This is a joke, right?
There aren't any Greenford services on Xbox.
Maybe a British Rail Class 111 for NTP. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_111
Yes, I've never been at or past Acton yard without there being something there IRL. Didn't know you could drive to the edge of the map. Will try that.
I don't have WSR but the performance there is not so important obviously. It seems that things are better on the PC version, so I'm confused why...
You could also run to Ealing Broadway.
Rather oddly, I think the scenario where you are a passenger into Paddington stops at AML.
I see where you are coming from now. Yes, it's a bit of a pain, but even in real life the passenger services are infrequent. Of course if there...
OMG you waited two hours at Acton Main Line?!! You really like AML don't you? https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/acton-main-line.16959/
I terminated the service. The 47 is unusable on heavy freight on the Xbox at least.
Approaching Standedge at 9.6 mph, 6,000 Amps. All brakes off.
Approaching Greenfield at 14 mph 4,150 Amps. All brakes off.
It dropped to 11 mph at one point after Mossley and pulling 4,800 Amps. Double checked brakes are off.
Running the 6E36 now. Double checked all brakes are off including handbrake. Brake cylinder gauge is at zero pressure. Brake pipe pressure is 5...
Those are likely to be the ones stopping at AML. I think there may be more missing on Xbox than that though.
Don't think all those services are on Xbox. The console crowd are second class citizens.
I thought it might be brakes but kept checking the pressures and all looked good. And it was picking up speed quite easily on the downhill...
It shouldn't, but maybe it's platform related. I don't get the performance you get. Nowhere near.
Your speeds don't look too bad. I got 43, 50, 53 respectively. Are you on an Xbox?
They were all the same. 8 coach passenger runs.
It would be good if there were some historical records of 47/45/40 speeds across this route. Had a search but couldn't find any.
I've not dared try the 47 on tanks yet. It seems the 47 is more like a 31.
I think the 101 is faster.
There's definitely something wrong with it. Thread here: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/class-47-ntp-route-slow.16822/#post-83349
Yes, shutting the throttle down can cause a very abrupt loss of engine sound. Not the run down you'd expect.
The results are in. All runs done in either Autumn or Summer. Dry and during the day. On an Xbox One X. In acending order of class (40/45/47)...
You say you aren't surprised, so it's wishful thinking to expect route fixes with DLC especially when no such claim about fixes has been made by...
I think there are too many bugs in TSW as a whole. Having said that, I still enjoy it and prefer it exists than not. It seems to be a case of...
It sounds like there was an expectation that the DLC would fix everything with NEC, but has that ever been claimed by DTG?
I've started a speed comparison test between the 47/45/40 on passenger runs. From the 15 mph limit at Stalybridge up to Standedge and from the 15...
They may be fixed but if so, I wouldn't expect them both to be fixed. I just don't think they are working.
Yes, but in reality you wouldn't be requesting to pass a signal at danger, you'd be asking the signalman to provide a path and a proceed with...
It's certainly not short of virtual Amps, so not sure where they are going. Not to the virtual traction motors it seems.
The Class 40 easily outperforms the 47 on NTP. Definitely something wrong. The 47 should be the pick of the three locomotives.
I've noticed the Dewsbury distant signals. There's a single distant that seems to show caution when the next home is clear and the distant on the...
Sound problem is the same on Xbox.
225 never caught on in my experience. Always a 91.
Yes, Flying Bananas was a western region thing for obvious reasons. I heard "Trams" a lot from Northern spotters.
Agreed. They are Class 253/254 DEMUs, HSTs, 125s or Trams.
I note that passing loops don't appear to be used on the routes. Examples are loops at Iver and Southall on GWE and Marsden on NTP. I think it...
Maybe suggest a route with the units you have in mind?
Separate names with a comma.
