I figured something like that. Also in truth we are not talking MSFS or Witcher size installs here. Most people with a half decent internet...
One quick follow up question? Is there a way to overcome what appears to be a minimum boiler pressure cap, seems to be around 142psi? This means...
Being retired every day is a holiday… Except when the wife has jobs for me!
I still think the Northern Line, set back a few years when the 1972 or even 1959 stock was operating the route would be a nice shout. Good network...
I think you need to post a little more about the route itself. I’m assuming Los Angeles up towards Seattle but you’re going to have to nominate a...
Era should not be a barrier to a historical route. I mean in recent times we’ve had two TV series (Vikings and The Last Kingdom) which attempt to...
Steam release is normally 1800 in the UK, so I’ll be finishing up my Bossman 8F run on Port Road while waiting for the download. Always said it’s...
Good shout, I’ll add it to my wishlist. However North Wales Coast is another route I need to add in my collection. Next few days will see the...
Well it will be interesting to see with the goods trains, whether the HUD displays the maximum train speed or maximum line speed. Ideally it...
Found this on RM Web, might help: Class C (fully fitted) - up to 60 mph. Loco with driving wheels over 5', can be passenger loco. Class D -(part...
Of course, the further you go back the less people will be around to challenge the detail, or lack of it. Already with SoS1 route, you would...
I slightly understand steamylocoman's sentiments as I struggled at first, in fact I refunded the 8F on the first occasion I bought it. However...
Well personally I'm having a blast with the 8F across Port Road in TSC at present. Some lovely scenery, plenty of gradients to keep you on your...
Now thoroughly getting into the 8F and Jubilee, eyeing up which of the rest of the bunch I should buy next... Clan Line/Merchant Navy looks...
:D:D
I was thinking Spirit Of Steam 2... Merchant Navy and West Country Pacifics with either: Salisbury to Yeovil or Yeovil to Exeter (for Honiton...
Will brake application be the same as on the TSC version. i.e. small ejector on very slightly to prevent loss of vacuum, brake handle has to be...
Only TVL and NTP are what could be regarded as historic. WSR doesn’t really count as it’s a preserved line and I don’t count WCL as it’s a dog’s...
Personally I have always considered AP stuff a bit over-rated. I certainly don’t think Wherry Lines was worth what they charged for it on first...
Not everyone likes soulless push to go/stop modern trains. There was more variety and interest 20 or 40 years ago. :love:
My history (PC) is a bit mixed. I wasn’t going to buy Day 1 but the earlier streams convinced me to buy. Watched the Jubilee stream and felt...
Just to update, I have got the hang of the 8F brakes so waiting to see what the TSW version brings. Great locos though, if they have translated...
I'm cheating a bit at present by using the AI fireman, who is doing a passable job!
I got the hang of it now! When braking you have to put the brake handle off at the desired reduction, other wise it keeps destroying the vacuum....
Well I only tried the multiplayer once and didn't really get much out of it. Now you have "Otto" as in AI Despatcher that has simplified the...
Exactly. What we want is for the basics to work… Fully functional track sound over nodding cows (or donkeys). AI firing that is at least as...
Fully agree. I found one video clip of a guy driving the BMG Black Five and he actually seemed to be keeping the large ejector slightly open and...
Because they are exactly that - suggestions. DTG will only make routes and stock which will be a commercial success. They have already stated...
Run 8 has a bit of a learning curve as there are no real tutorials and no missions or scenarios to break you in. Best recommendation is to watch a...
I like all three of the “big” areas in TSW though I probably play the UK and German routes more than the US. That’s probably because I prefer Run...
I’ll try ambient light a bit higher. The other thing I need to practice with a bit is the brakes as I was really struggling to balance the small...
Further to my musings on the 9F, I took the Bossman 8F out for a spin on one of the supplied S&C scenarios yesterday evening. Now this is...
You can layer in the 33 for a classic diesel experience. IMHO the best time period on this route was when 33's, 50's and Class 205 Hampshire units...
Just had a quick go with the 8F, doing better than the first time I tried it some months ago. The main issue I am finding is that the cab...
That was my play, though buy now tell later! Didn't want to wait nearly a month for the sale...
I have noticed all my stars have disappeared and been replaced by green ticks, even on scenarios I am completing currently. Will check my Steam...
Missus Vern decided to buy me a Steam gift voucher (!) so looking at buying one of the above Bossman locos (as no sale appears imminent to grab...
Class 180 would be useful if we ever got the Cotswold or Malvern lines. Sadly in service they used to prove quite troublesome and from a Train...
Nothing breaks the immersion in Trainz as much as when you go to place coaching stock on the layout, to find it has opaque windows which hide the...
A TSW South African route with the Class 25 steam locos would be awesome but probably too much to hope for from DTG’s very limited vision.
Well I would say the 150 is half a DMU due to all the issues… But yes we need a whole host of new DMU’s and routes to run them on. The Voyagers...
I definitely think the moderators need to get in and clean up some of these suggestion threads…
1. You need to provide a bit more information, at the minimum a Wikipedia link and why you think this line would be a profitable venture for DTG...
Yes to this, plus a bit of randomisation. Of course the counter argument is that this upsets achievements and the AP rubbish. Well fine, have a...
Any bit of the GC would be good though my personal favourite is the section between Aylesbury and Rugby so you would get Brackley Viaduct, the...
If Rivet are not prepared to fix such substantial issues, then DTG need to grow a pair and not accept or grant any more projects from them for...
That's partly why I've just rebought it. Not just the future of steam but classic diesel too - "The only thing that sells is modern Electrostar...
Thanks Torfmeister.
Well I have now decided to rebuy though a bit of a conflict as having refunded once, I doubt Steam would look kindly on a second occasion....
I use the FB page a little but not the forum. There are no restrictions on "swearies" if you happen to find that kind of thing offensive. The...
Separate names with a comma.
