Respectfully, I don't feel like I'm missing out. I use a small selection of mods that suit me, LondonMidland's signal mod being my personal...
I asked Matt on the DTG Discord about additional graphics settings on PC that push out pop-in and shadow distances. He said that an Epic graphics...
I was thinking to myself when driving Riviera yesterday that it would be a good time to remake WCL from the ground up, extending it to Plymouth....
The frequency needs to be toned down a lot for train faults, they should only occur often if you want to set the frequency toggle to high. In my...
To answer the what if scenario. I'd keep all three routes but Riviera Line would be set in the 1950's because I'd like to see Brunel's GWR in TSW,...
If they're doing previous years then the route should be completely redone to fit that era otherwise you're going to get a LOT of inaccuracies...
I wouldn’t say it’s bugged, but incomplete. DTG said on streams around the time Spirit of Steam released that they were going to follow up with...
I don’t see anyone rambling, just normal conversation. DTG created the steam physics so by your own logic it would be their responsibility to...
There are also third parties who focus on steam traction, but why would they move from TSC to TSW when DTG have left the core foundations in such...
You made a typo, I fixed it for you ;) There’s room for all eras in TSW. It’s better for the game overall to have more variety. What gets me is...
Actually you can do that on Steam. Sonic Racing Crossworlds early access started yesterday, my game preloaded a few days beforehand. The files...
Yeah, it would take a lot of work. I was responding to the person who sounded like he was asking all routes to be modern, then doing Diesel...
I’m a 90’s kid, I should probably be into modern more than anything else but I have a Dad who has a model layout based on end of steam and who...
I don’t like this idea, it means all routes are modern with the historical element being a “second thought” so to speak. All historical content...
Overall, steam era would’ve been the best choice with the original GWR. However, considering the state of steam physics I don’t see that happening...
Definitely would’ve been the better option in terms of stock running on the route. If we went a bit further back then GWR steam era would’ve made...
I don't mind the WCML attention personally, especially the BR era stuff. Definitely think the ECML needs some more attention though and would...
WCML Preston - Carlisle is the must have out of that list, easily the best UK route in TSW yet. About 100 miles of overall track mileage, proper...
All content is available during early access on Steam at least, same as it was for TSW5. It takes a day and a half for me to download my complete...
Definitely would love to see some new liveries and variants for Scotsman. Honestly, a route set in the days of the original LNER with the A3 class...
You think that's bad... Go check what they charge for HST power units, no MK3 coaches included :D
You can’t even complete some journey mode to gold standard because of the impossible medal thresholds on some tutorials or depot runs. Do have to...
Suppose it comes down to an individual's situation, we've all got different install sizes and internet speeds. The annual release thing doesn't...
I'm in the DTG Discord and conversations are fast flowing. It's better for a live chat space and some good banter with fellow players, but if you...
My own strategy is to download the core game and new content first, then when that's installed, I'll play TSW6 while the rest of my DLC downloads....
I'd like to see a TSW edition of Chatham Mainline: London Victoria & Blackfriars - Dover & Ramsgate. However this version is backdated to the era...
Hope it was a positive response, best of luck to you! We need more steam routes, plus I’ve seen plenty of people asking for a new heritage route....
This is what free roam is for, you can spawn in an 802 in the timetable and drive it from Paddington to Reading among the other AI services.
I agree with you. The HST was always the star attraction of GWE and Liam has kept the route to the same era it had at launch. The modern gang...
I'm 50/50 with them myself to be honest. I think it's neat when they're there, but I won't lose any sleep if they aren't. Like you, I use the...
Hopefully to compensate, there will be a bigger list of core achievements. They'll need some with bigger completion goals if the achievements are...
Not bothered at all to be honest, the 8xx family are all very identical from a gameplay perspective and we'll have three members of that family in...
That’s a shame, hopefully it’s just an unfortunate coincidence rather than someone stealing your route idea from this forum. I echo PWilson, I...
I know, I was just joking. WCMLS also works as initials for Shap, which genuinely was the most hyped and best TSW5 UK route.
What do you mean? West Coast Main Line Shap was the most exciting and it turned out perfect ;)
To be fair, the screenshots do it more justice than the trailer. One thing that's throwing me off is the light grey ballast that is used on most...
US and Germany look like a good time :) Riviera Line is a bit underwhelming as they've done it in the wrong era, should've been 1950's with GWR...
Love this idea! Unfortunately, my local routes aren't in TSW so I can't try it for myself... unless that changes in the future and DTG add...
The Flying Scotsman's appearances vary as the services are seasonal, so certain services only appear during certain months. See this list to see...
A third party is currently making the NYMR route as we speak, though it'll likely be a while before it surfaces again on a roadmap. Personally, I...
I got to drive a real HST on the Nene Valley back in January, the brakes are slow to come off on the real thing. The driving experience...
I think it probably comes down to licensing more than anything, you don't just have to get a licence from the TOC but you have to also purchase a...
Some proper GWR locomotives, I mean the real GWR rather than the modern day tribute company. [IMG] No specific classes, just give me some...
Which is generally quite baffling to think about. Steam locomotives are a lot more attracting and appealing than these modern trains in real life,...
Overall, service mode is my favourite way to play. I do enjoy playing scenarios too as long they’re something unusual that you wouldn’t normally...
The hairstyle that T posing woman belonged to one of the male avatars in TSW2. When TSW3 came out, my male avatar hair got swapped from that one...
I remember Matt saying that though you might have completed it in service mode, you haven't done it under the specific preset weather conditions...
Slightly off topic, but I do wish this was the case for services. That way, you could completely ignore journey mode if you're going for completion.
Indeed! Opinions are subjective, there is no "wrong" opinion here :)
Steam will always be my number one choice in traction, BR era Diesel traction is second to that, then everything else follows in no particular...
