Now I’m going to have to look that up when I’m back on the PC later. Anyhow bringing up the S&C resulted in the next unplayed scenario being a...
An odd one. Though part of me really hopes DTG haven’t been mindwashed by SimRail into thinking they could do a similar exercise with TSW. It also...
TBH their first venture into steam should have been a pack for the WSR. Okay we would have grizzled about the 25 MPH speed restriction but more...
Windows Gamebar.
Is that an installable programme? Might give it a look but there’s a certain amount of anticipation shuffling the cards!
As TSC doesn't have (nor ever seems likely too) a random lucky dip as does TSW, thought I would devise a system using a pack of playing cards....
I just spent £3 on a pack of cards to use as a randomiser for playing TSC routes. problem is though, I have far more routes than 52 plus the...
I can vouch for Surveyor as being the best route editor out there. Just a shame the driving experience is so awful. Now here's an interesting...
Now there's a thought...
Suspension has been suspended. Or maybe the suspension of disbelief, as it’s hard to believe anything they announce.
It’s a good job this lot aren’t in charge of a real railway!
Is there any oversight or peer checking of this stuff before it goes out? DTG really starting to look like a bunch of amateurs but charging pro...
Agree. If we are not careful, “expert” will reduce the standard offering to stop/go tablet style train game complexity. I do not want to pay £30...
So far as we know, most of the small steam developers have declined to do anything with TSW while the core remains in such a state.
Suspect he never used a buffet or restaurant car either… (Or a sleeping coach).
ROFLOL Well I’m glad the OP is enjoying SoS, at least they got it at a nice discount. However the whole thing is still massively flawed. Leaving...
Totally OT but if the rumour about the energy cap going up by 77% in October is true, renationalising the railways should not be the priority of...
For a minute I was going to ask what but then realised steam with a small s not Steam with a capital S! Oh, this could be interesting,...
Good shout but needs DTG to overcome their current aversity to US freight and historical content.
This is actually a very old route, in fact it was one of the original routes launched with Kuju Rail Simulator, the grand daddy which eventually...
AVL is a route that is crying out to be integrated into Run 8’s SoCal network, but that’s another story!
Audio popping and distortion also occurs on PC, usually accompanied by the game pausing momentarily. Basically still poorly optimised code.
Mind, the 104 still seems to be mired in development hell. Not much chance of it appearing before TSW5 I would have thought.
FTFY.
Silence only exceeded by the EP and CM’s on the stream immediately responding, “Moving on…” to the inevitable questions.
Four hours sat in front of a VDU is well in excess of published guidelines. The people defending no save game in SimRail use the same argument...
So long as they stick to making static assets that will be fine. Just don’t allow them anywhere near the route itself or the trains in particular....
Think the biggest problem facing tram routes, as I found when I did Blackpool in Railworks all those years ago, is no support for line of sight...
By comfort zone I meant their TSW route builder is from the area, a tram driver in Blackpool I do believe.
Well DTG can hardly expect us to ignore that, when one of the sub contractor’s sub contractors splashes one of the models on an art site and ends...
Well AWS faults on a UK traction unit boil down to a few simple outcomes… Wrong side failure - set out of traffic at the next available location...
The route merging gurus would have to answer that one!
O Gauge in the garden would be a dream, but only if you win the National Lottery! Actually thinking about reliability, the stuff made in the late...
Good point. I would much rather TSG had devoted resources to making a BR141 or BR151 along with some UIC coaching stock to “standard” level for...
I wouldn’t know about the latter as I deemed the hobby far too expensive even a few years ago. But I do wish I had hung on to some of the more...
Good stuff but as stated the scope of a remaster is pretty much TOD and changes to existing scenery, not extensions welcome though they would be....
Although it’s a bit basic by modern standards and relies on ancient default stock, the Just Trains Western Main Lines (Paddington to Weston SM and...
Glad you finished the scenario. Think of steam locos in TSW as slightly advanced Triang Hornby models with the old style sound system (a...
Well Run 8 does throw random defects at you, with the automated voice over the DS route telling you to stop the train. Ought to be possible for...
The other very relevant point about model railway equipment vs a PC train game, is that $300 locomotive may well end up being a collectible. It...
Wasn't the original 101 also a TSG product?
This is actually a good point. The vast majority of traction units complete their daily "diagram" without any issue let alone a catastrophic...
Ah, sorry Fred, mst be the heat. Usually it's my Mrs who doesn't get my sense of humour. Just accuses me of sarcasm (or stupidity!).
If these are actual verbal messages, how about as I suggested earlier putting subtitles on the screen? Surely with all the programming...
I have a soft spot for the old Yugoslavian narrow gauge. I bet not many people could track the old line from Gostivar to Ohrid in what is now...
Well yes, that would seem better personal useage value all round than the DB 101 and not least because it would add traction and rolling stock not...
Best to put it in manual firing and open the firebox doors. To all intents and purposes it’s still automatic anyway with no coal or water really...
A rather skewed view… Then it’s not 99% of the British and American population playing train games, but those that are I suspect have an IQ and...
Well we already went into this where Flight Sim is concerned. I probably have had several 100 hours out of the Level D 767 which I initially...
Thread drift. It happens. No one was harmed or died in the writing of the various musings. :) But back on topic, maintain this would have been...
