When we first had the 158's at South Wales and West, @1991 - 158820 quickly became known as "Damian" for it's tendency to get halfway from Cardiff...
The key to not getting bored is to mix and match. I agree that routes like GWE can become a mindless 20 minute blast from Paddington to Reading or...
If this follows the paradigm of previous Thomson/Rivet routes, it will be difficult to move or change anything as most items are made non...
You can't edit TSW2 routes... As stated the only way to make things busier is to see what you can do with the scenario editor but that is still in...
We would probably get Southampton to Bournemouth with the Lymington branch, as was done for Railworks… My preferred era would be the 4REP's +...
I see where you're coming from Stu, but as I noted above you already have head out view from most of the cabs not to mention being able to walk...
So long as it comes to the PC version as well, gets my vote. In terms of any 'elf and safety worries we have head out on locos anyway so coaching...
The addition I would like to see is Felix the Station Cat at Huddersfield, strutting up and down Platform 1. Not strictly correct for the era but...
They could do what Trainmaster 4 did and run from Denver to just the other side of the Moffat Tunnel, Fraser I think.
Actually a Standard 4MT 2-6-4T tank loco would be excellent. Never seen one at work but I remember ogling the (then) unaffordable Wrenn one as a...
ISTR this (420) had superb sound in Railworks, not unlike one of our old AM10 (Class 310) EMUs which used to operate out of Euston in the 60's,...
DB 232 looks nice, so long as the sounds hit the sweet spot. Please give us some passenger consists with it for the Scenario creator....
Zusi 3 biggest hurdle is the language barrier as I've heard the English translation is not 100% complete and apparently it doesn't play nice with...
Well I wouldn't quite go that far but, 1. It has the most non-user friendly and non-mnemonic keyboard commands ever conceived (Ctrl this, Ctrl...
Along with the Somerset and Dorset to run it on... :cool: It can be done in an arcade fashion as Taito demonstrated with their Kisha de Go spin...
If this is all pre scripted in terms pf AI movement, sounds like you were either earlier or later than the scenario expected at that location, not...
There is a certain irony in that (to me) it’s actually harder to configure MU and DPU working in TSW2 than it is in Run 8, where you just tick a...
MSFS isn't all that good in some areas though. Flying up the north east coast of Scotland from Inverness to Wick where there should be cliffs was...
Try getting your loco's MU'ed up on Sandpatch. I guarantee that will give more than five minutes of value. The physics are generally much better...
Well good news, the two SD40's are now talking to each other, thanks to the advice in this thread. Rattling along nicely albeit now down to about...
The main oldie was Simudrive but it was entirely text based and no sound. As an offshoot to his traffic simulations, the SIAM guy also produced...
It’s not like collecting medals or AP gives anything tangible, such as reward points that could be redeemed against DLC.
Looking at older maps of Staten Island, isn't this line actually the stub of what was once a more comprehensive network? (A bit like IOW!) Setting...
Excellent, plenty of information there to get me going albeit seems there are still some flaws with long train physics. That aside, I do wonder...
It sounds ad though I should have run the tutorials first - user error then!
As I hadn't looked at Sandpatch yet, thought I would try a quick timetable run see how the route and trains have improved over V1. Unfortunately...
Actually I must admit having watched a YT clip of someone riding the train (I couldn't find a cab ride), it does look a bit bland. Basically a...
Sadly somewhat spoiled by the textures on the mountains...
The OP could always go and play Derail Valley if he wants that kind of thing...
ISTR this was one of the routes in Trainmaster 4?
Just checking - is this the route that was in Trainmaster 4? Also had freeware versions in Trainz and MSTS. If so, I am seriously pumped for this...
Feel free to adapt my time bands which, as I said, were based on UK epochs, to your own territory - in your case I would suggest the final option,...
Glad to hear you're having fun Dave. As I said above, I was more than a little sceptical given my track record with all things Railworks (!) and...
Still need something to make the game brighter driving at night and other than high summer. I did an autumn cloudy run from Paddington to Reading...
Gets my vote...
It is an interesting point. For example I would regard 150/153(5)/158 as "modern" traction when in reality they are 30 years old! I guess even the...
Thanks for the votes and comments so far, very interesting - keep 'em coming!
Following on from discussions here and elsewhere, thought I would post a quick poll regarding preferred era. The questions are slewed towards the...
I was running the Class 52 Western and BR Mark One coaches.
1. Better notice of upcoming speed restrictions on the HUD. On most routes it is not uncommon to be presented with a sudden drop in speed...
I remember wedging onto a "striped" 104 to get from Preston to Blackpool North in the early 80's. They also appeared from time to time (along with...
Thank you Bjorn, off to sort that now.
Would also like to get rid of the coloured overlay on the track as you approach a stop, but leave the marker post. I can't for the life of me see...
Still really can't understand why DTG run into this yet other train sim developers such as 3DTS (Run 8) and N3V (Trainz) either don't (or don't...
Unfortunately it seems that's what the youngsters want. I posted on the ATS FB Group that I'd suggested Newport to Hereford at the latter end of...
My biggest gripe is the payware route builders (looking at you, Thomson/Rivet) who "lock" their assets so if you're referencing in your own...
DTG are saints, compared to the mess Asobo and MS are making with FS20 (fix one thing, break three more!)… :)
Some of the suburban routes around Sydney both north and south are surprisingly scenic, if the MSTS versions and YT clips of the real thing are...
Upvote from me on this too, hopefully part of Scenario Editor Mark 2.
Yes I should have added NWC (2) to my statement above. Running in OR, it's superb and you get the branches to Blaenau and Amlwch included too.
Separate names with a comma.
