Having bought the route in the sale, the current version is a bit short. Like most DTG routes it could do with another 15 to 20 miles. Problem is,...
I did at one time look that if you flipped the shape of the Island Of Arran, it was almost a ringer for Sodor. However the DEM (terrain data)...
One last plunge for me, then. Decided to give Cane Creek a whirl, if only for the nostalgia value of driving the route in Trainmaster 4 - the cab...
Just to clarify, I fully respect those who like the Electrostars, they're not bad trains just not particularly fun to drive for some of us. So by...
There was a legend in railway circles, when the 50's were used on Waterloo to Exeter services the drivers regularly used just the loco brake to...
I agree to some extent, but the DLC is how DTG fund the game. The alternative N3V approach where you either pay a monthly subscription to use...
Anything post 1980 is modern plastic to this old dinosaur. :D
Some of the more recent UK freight locos have a train length counter which can be triggered passing a speed board, so the driver knows when the...
The main issue with Electrostars is that they are bland and boring. The traction noise is virtually non existent, they are so powerful there is no...
Most trains don't have odometers, a record of mileage, or in the case of UK locos hours run, is kept on the various resource control computer...
I believe so, though I bought it direct from DT when first released. Better than nothing, I guess. Out of interest I wonder if AP were involved...
Well that's a blow. I just discovered the Class 40 I have is the original DT one, not the AP model. Feeling very sad now. Maybe it will come back...
I reckon a train themed route... It will either be the Calvert to Willesden via Aylesbury bin liner with a 56 as per the Videoscene cab ride...
Possibly. I must sit down with the old girl later and pamper it into action!
Oh yes, definitely in my collection, though last time I fired it up couldn’t get moving… Must have missed a step or three!
That was my thoughts, it may not be an Electrostar but in my book still classes as modern plastic. If it is the NorthWest I would much rather have...
A shame to see neither TVL or NTP made it into either Top Ten. And as for WCL, probably people trying it out to see if it really was that awful....
Ah yes, that would be old Ashley Greenup's Cab View Driver which used Jeremy English (of the incessant chatter) Railscene cab rides to provide the...
Quite. I don't (except the odd poster I pass accidentally). The point is, it's fluff like that which causes the Open Rails and Run 8 curmudgeons...
Apart from the shonky physics which sometimes led to you derailing on a curve, even when running well under the speed limit! Not unless it was...
Yes if it comes with 216s/218s and Silberlinge or UIC stock!
Thank goodness we still have the excellent 40 in TSW, then!
There’s another flag in the PC discussion about Matt referencing a Class 319 in a chat. So make of that what you will… Potentially BedPan line or...
I remember when I worked in the Wales and West Control, spending a night down at Canton to see what went on. Believe me, your lungs took a...
Enjoy. You can always imagine you’re driving a 150 or a 158 in a more fanciful moment, with the engine revving away!
You are not going to get more than about 70 miles as a TSW route. Having driven this section a few times in Run 8, it’s okay but not going to be...
I will look for that, then!
Quite. Zusi 3 still sells at £55 on Steam and had no discount in the current sale. Though OTH, N3V are intending to sell their “new” version of...
319 could be a classic layer for BML, or BedPan or of course their new stamping ground in the North West. So wild speculative guess (again),...
Ah now that's a good point re the 50. A 70's or 80's Riviera Line could also be a stamping ground with plenty of layers for the 37, 45, 47 even...
Of course the problem as I just found - is, you do need it visible for certain cab functions which cannot be done via keyboard. For example the...
A few points arising... 1 The DC6 for MSFS was probably lapped up because it's one of the few airliner payware add ons that have made it to the...
Ah. I learned something just now. Off it goes when I’m back on the game next.
One simulation element which is lacking and not just in TSW is randomness. Whether it’s a signal failure, being stopped and cautioned for sheep on...
Just watched the clip extract, not really much clue at all as to location or era. Of course it could throw a total curve ball and be another tube...
I think we will definitely see Fort William to Mallaig at some point. Glasgow up to Fort Bill and/or Oban probably too long. I suspect we would...
That's why I think you would need the three eras of stock, to maximise interest. As an aside, although I've never actually travelled on the...
This issue is across all platforms. There should certainly be more ambient light in towns and cities or even on a moonlit night. The headlight...
Good suggestion though as always I would wind the clock back a few years.
Nice suggestion. Perfect for a quick blast. Also scope for the original stock, Glasgow Subway rolling stock - Wikipedia , complete with No...
Simulation is a very subjective thing, though. Take Run 8 which is widely hailed as the pinnacle of US railroading. Well it may have the best...
Permission freely given!
Well they do have the relatively under utilised Class 20 and Class 31 which need their own stage to perform on. Cue some fresh speculation…
Amen to the two above posts!
The 465 is nice, I'm doing a Journey Mode run on SEHS in between checking the board. My only feedback would be, the acceleration seems a bit...
In amidst the requests to fix the save game, better night lighting, sound reverb etc, etc, there is one simple thing that would please me...
It's a bit annoying but sadly true to real life. Never really got the American obsession with the bell, ruins all sorts of video clips when you...
Didn't watch the stream so can anyone transcribe what Matt said, so we can scrutinise for clues. The fact he said UK rather than English therefore...
Oh I realise that and why I said in another thread about a similar issue that BML is basically useless unless you can do the run in one go....
Sectional Appendix extract attached. Definitely looks like Rivet got it wrong and assumed the LC restriction applied to the rest of the...
