Very unlikely we'll see any of the commemorative locos in this pack. I would expect a standard 78xx or 79xx in the 2 liveries. I'm more interested...
Heard on the stream that we're getting a preview of this loco next week. I'm hoping it will come with some new rolling stock- a center beam flat,...
For me it's just an evolutionary step from MSTS to Railsim to TS and now TSW and TSW2. The immersive, first person aspect is the real attraction...
You're right, of course, Michael, but, given the standard of spelling on the forum, acronyms might be safer, especially with some of the European...
Various suggestions have been made for sections of the NEC. Something out of Boston would be good, for instance. Anyway, I'm confident we will get...
Surely the Dash 8 has to be released before the next roadmap, so next week for sure??
I'm sure there is a sizable demand for these high speed passenger routes within the community (judging by the popularity of the German routes) and...
As Americans, we really need the Dash 8, if only to assuage the hunger and thirst we've been suffering from since who knows when. European freight...
It can take up to 10 mins IIRC. A fix is in the next arrivals, I believe.
Overall I'm pleased with this Roadmap, especially the imminent arrival of the Dash 8, but there are some things that I wish were coming sooner....
Never was.
Don't forget Clinchfield. Really looking forward to firing up those F7's!!
I'll add that for the AC4400CW you just use either one of the screens on the lead locomotive and I think it's F3 and F8 to set up brake cut out...
If you scroll back to October 2 on PC forum, heyitspopcorn has a great rundown on setup, under Idiots Guide To Fueling Up.
We'll know tomorrow when the new roadmap comes out. It would have to skip a step on the ladder.
Yes, no need to spend that much money on a PC to play TSW2 or any game really. My 5 year old machine cost less than $1500 even with inflation, and...
It is something of a mystery why this issue still exists. MSTS and TS are pretty reliable with saves but I save in TSW with trepidation. But, like...
Yes, I'm a little confused myself. There have been a lot of posts on the forum detailing MU, DPU and banking com. Nothing new here.
Not my intention at all. It's clear that the problems are not confined to AMD hardware and I was merely pointing out that many of us are not...
Yes, indeed, I really need to hit that "explore on foot " option more often.
I agree, this is all well and good if it can be implemented without "dumbing down " the sim for those of us who enjoy the challenge of realistic...
Whatever was in the recent patch has had no effect on my system other than a noticeable performance boost and all routes are running perfectly,...
I have to disagree somewhat. I think the TSW route menu is better and cleaner than TS, which I always found rather cumbersome. Sure, there are a...
Just curious. If I have measurements on automatic, shouldn't the speed and distance be in kph and km for a Canadian route. My HUD shows mph and miles.
Don't know what rolling stock will come with it, but, as it's a CSX loco, it will only add services to SPG for the time being, I suppose.
Holding my breath (and my wallet)
No-one talks much about this route, but I find it to be a lot of fun and, for me, bug-free so far. Being a freight and switching guy, it's great...
Ah, impatience is common, especially in the younger generation. When you get older you realize that when the bus is late it's usually no one's...
Ah, I remember MSTS where you could make multiple saves and then choose which one to go back to. What happened to that idea?
Don't forget that Steam is on Pacific Standard Time which is UTC minus EIGHT hours.
DTG requirements for TSW2 are minimum 8GB of memory, recommended still 8GB and video card 2GB and 4GB respectively. I would not play the game...
I can confirm that the F40PH runs fine on PC with engine sounds in and out of the cab. And exhaust.
Without the Heavy Freight Pack the NTP is much less interesting for me. I hope it doesn't slip further down the Roadmap next week.
If you're just buzzing around the yard switching cars you can use the independent brake but with a heavy haul use the dynamic and auto brakes. On...
I'm desperate for freight routes, the older the better. Something similar to RSN with older rolling stock would be an instant buy for me. American...
German players are like my little brother. Being my parents' favorite, he always got the most and best toys. I bought RSN along with the 155 to...
There are a number of posts on this problem. My solution was to push the two locos on to the next track. Then uncouple them, back up and proceed...
There are numerous threads and posts on this subject. We need a proper search function so members can easily find them.
I bought it mainly to support a 3rd party effort but I've found it to be a relaxing half hour after the rigors of more challenging routes. I don't...
I've seen this in other routes too, SPG for instance. As far as I know there is no cure other than a restart I'm afraid. What triggers it seems...
Ooh that's interesting. I've never left a moving loco let alone crossed over to an MU, didn't know you could. I have, however, stopped in the...
Station passengers are one thing. What I would like to see are people walking around the streets, maybe walking their dogs, and workers in freight...
Most if not all of us here would certainly not want to belittle or dismiss the frustrations of someone new to the game or struggling to master it,...
I can't say I had the problems the original poster raises. But I admit the learning curve can be steep and requires quite a lot of...
As mentioned elsewhere, just push the locos on to the adjacent track, uncouple, back up and proceed, using the map to move switches as needed.
As an American player, I'm feeling a little chilly.:(
Fine, it's certainly the right length, though personally I'd prefer some version of the Racetrack which, if you recall, includes Amtrak, commuter...
Don't see any ads. If you want to skip the startup screen just hit the spacebar.
Slightly off topic, but with no passenger traffic on the Oakville sub and no NEC coming to TSW2, it leaves quite a void for North American fans. I...
When setting up a cab, I automatically switch on all the lights (except the cab light). Just habit but useful in low ambient conditions and...
