Still falls foul of the Class One Railroads point blank refusing to work with DTG as regards any sort of access for research.
Yes I can see the origin. The end doors in particular give it away. However for nostalgia’s sake would like to see a rake in the original...
Interesting... After finishing my ICE run, I'll take a closer look.
Well they could take over JT’s attempt at the Highland Main Line in TSC, though for obvious reasons I want that set in 1978 - 1981!
I might pick that up in one of the autumn or winter sales. Especially now Sainsbury’s have restocked on Steam Wallet Gift Cards, I can pop down...
Well I've just got about 20 minutes into a run from Fulda to Frankfurt and must admit I have to recant most of my earlier thoughts. Scenery is...
I just drooled over my keyboard... And the Silberlinge, with those delicious hard plastic seats. That's DB in my eyes!!
Also when I was referring to "flat" it was as much in reference to the scenery. once again a route through low rolling hills rather than something...
Sadly not really possible. It's basically a freeware level thrash route that vaguely resembles the prototype.
Guess I need to spend more time with it then, but I do crave more to do with the 218 etc.!
WCL is just about tolerable if… 1. You drive it in the dark and, 2. You avoid the 150 like the plague.
Which is why DTG and the associates need a more coherent route DLC plan, rather than just jumping from one isolated stretch of line to another. By...
Just think it’s important to remember, we have collectively handed over a considerable sum of money to DTG for this less than sterling iteration...
Likewise, free update on PS5 but I paid £54 for the privilege on PC! Little wonder I’m spending most of my train sim time in TSC at the moment....
If the focus is Birmingham to Manchester then Cross Country would be the primary operator. Besides, far more fun ragging an AC electric loco, AM4...
The only good thing about running BML on the PS5 under TSW5 is that the trains no longer insta derail as they were doing in unsupported TSW3.
Think it might be a Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy reference…
Would be a nice route, only way around licensing would be to base in BR Classic days, when the NW/SW-SE services were loco hauled and you would...
Even better the 211 (not sure of the V notation). From my Zusi experience, they are beasts.
Bubble bursting time here. It has been stated elsewhere that SNCF are no longer prepared to sanction or license routes based on their network and...
Thanks JD.
Now this is the sort of scenario that would for a good Journey element, though of course DTG would need to fix the infernal train hopping save bug...
Good point, though in TSW terms the 218 has been out a little while now so is probably ticking over on sales numbers. You could always make the...
Personally I hope it’s a diesel main or secondary line to take full advantage of the 218 and 628. Either Obereruhrtalbahn or something around...
And sold as a new route…
Aha! The caveat as you say was buried away. Thought it looked too good to be true. Oh well, as they say, back to your lives citizens…
Simplify matters, go back to 1983 and do it with Class 115 DMU’s! Otherwise you are potentially looking for at least four new trains depending on...
If/when the Class 104 appears this would also be a great route to set back in the BR Classic era. Class 104’s were pretty much the mainstay of the...
A remaster is more likely to tweak the existing scenery and timetable, rather than the work that would be needed to electrify the route and create...
If those are in game screenshots, how come they look so much more realistic and lifelike than the rest of the current game, even BPO?! Seems UW...
It is subjective. To me it doesn’t offer much we don’t already have with the German stuff, another electrified middling distance fairly flat route...
As I’ve mentioned previously, Frontier First Encounters. Bugged to hell after the joy that was Frontier Elite II (lost count of the hours spent on...
Well as I mentioned in the ATS thread I would have taken a route that made use of one or more of the under utilised BR Classic Diesels, such as...
Anyhow, think this place is bad. Earlier on I posted something on our local community Facebook group about a homeless guy making a nuisance of...
Well no not without restarting the run. I jumped across to TSC and did something there instead!
I just fired up BML on the PS5 version of the game and have to agree - it's worse than TSW3 or TSW4. You can't blame potato CPU's or old GTX...
Engadine and Surselva are nice and make a change from the somewhat cliched Albula and Bernina lines. The Ge6/6 loco is also quite nice and you...
Calm down old chap, not saying you can’t. But it just seems a bit pointless when DTG aren’t entertaining the concept any more. There’s a few US...
This was being discussed in another thread and it seems DTG have encountered a brick wall with SNCF as regards licensing and depicting technical...
I’ve played Donner in MSTS, TSC and Run 8 and have to concur, despite the scenery it’s a bit boring. Not to mention rather long for a TSW route...
Very odd, then. Could start the run again, save at the same location and not get the issue. Only mod I’m running is God along with the basic...
Thanks for the insight Kieran and certainly appreciate the background. If the price is right then I may take a punt. However I’m sure you can...
Thanks Bill, will bear that in mind should I venture into conductor mode.
That's a shame then. I wonder if there are any French heritage or private railways who would be more amenable to an approach.
And the Californian routes too... That odd 12 MPH crawl in and out of the LA Union and at San Francisco on the PC route.
It’s okay, but very much an electric bus service. And that 10 MPH crawl at Lewes, while true to real life, is a bit tedious. Also it really...
That’s actually interesting to know. So basically you have to find a run you can do in the time available.
Anyone encountered this issue? Was doing a RE run from Aachen towards Koln with a pair of 442’s. Reloaded my save after leaving it a couple of...
Are you heading the right way? You actually need to reverse at SBD and propel the train in. I got caught out, kept going in the same direction...
Actually it was probably more like the numbers you mention, with 50 odd route DLC plus other bits and pieces, so bit of error correction on my...
