:love: How I’d love that…
Wow, hats off, lcyrrjp, you blew me out of the water! :D Really, a more than impressive run. I find your cut-off usage fascinating and it makes...
I had some time on my hands today and decided I should go for my second attempt. It's not much better, but still better. I hope you can learn...
Take a look here and here. The videos show you what it looks like. The descriptions will lead you to where you can get it all. I was amazed when I...
Oh, that took me back. Still got it standing in my shelf :D You'll want Openrails instead of the very original MSTS nowadays. Obviously, to say...
Easy solution: Release loco DLCs. A 140 for starters, then a 120 with IR coaches, … The possibilities are endless :)
More than. I have no idea what cuckoo clocks are supposed to have to do with this area of Germany. Further south along the Rhine, sure, but...
Ask and I shall deliver: For routes, I’d love part of the electrified sections of the Milwaukee Road with some classic box cabs and/or Little...
Agreed on all points :) My climb to Morley felt particularly sloppy. I’ll admit that I underestimated the climb and it took me a bit to change my...
Onto my run. Please observe that x/y will denote regulator/cut-off in my post for ease of reading and writing. I’ll start straight away with my...
As promised, matt#4801 ;) We’re coming to you today with a new challenge and a challenge it is :) Leeds - Stalybridge non-stop with a Jubilee...
lcyrrjp, matt#4801, thanks :) Really, it was this: that I was going for. Using all of the things we shared and taught each other, I wanted to...
vmax of the 112 is 160km/h. In regards to the 143, wouldn’t be surprised if she was able to go faster than 120 in theory. DR simply had no use...
I was in the mood for steam today. Now, I’ve been playing with this idea for some time, but the recent successes on MML gave me the confidence...
Created a thread for it, but also sharing here since I reckon more people will see it here. It’s about the ROG 37: Seen on PS5. Compare these two...
Hiya Seen on PS5. Compare these two pictures: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] If you look at the wipers or edges of the windshield in the first picture,...
Let me know if they prove troublesome. I’ll send them my bills to make sure you get your due :D There are some ridiculous offers on PlayStation...
No problem on my end. Did you touch any controls prior to the master key?
It sounds to me like the loco brake cylinders are filling again to compensate for the electric braking being released when you release the train...
Ah, dang, another route I don’t own :) Careful there, lcyrrjp, you’re beginning to sell routes to me better than DTGs’ marketing :D Looks like a...
That’s a point that’s really a lot worse than TSW. Sure, we complain about the lack of manuals but even so, Matt usually tries to give you a lot...
Another argument to get a 185.0 or .1, perhaps ;)
It is. They’re old electric locos. They need those loud cooling fans. Furthermore, you should manually turn on the cooling fans when you start...
As Spikee1975 said, the sound level in TSW is more like if the door to the engine room was open, but the sound is there in real life, too. It’s...
Yes, she does. I can confirm from real life. It’s only the 185.0 and .1 that don’t do it.
An updated MSB with a proper 151 for banking and freight would be amazing.
You’re looking at these things too much in isolation. Look at it this way: You’ve got a small closed-up room packed to the brim with (heavy duty)...
It is mostly cooling mixed with all of the electrical buzzing of the systems inside. There’s a lot of stuff at work - computers, the air...
Just to prevent any misunderstandings, I’m only talking about Germany. For German DMUs, off usually.
I’d like to know that myself. Most stop markers are nonsensical.
They don’t need to. They get handed a note with the info they need.
For EMUs, yes. They’re frequently parked with red on both ends. Not locos though - they’re parked with all lights off. At least freight locos,...
True. I’d love to drive my 4F down to Ditton docks manually via free roam, but for some reason can’t set a path there. Not only are the yards...
It’s a terrible waste. As a route, SoS (and PFR) is so well done and there are these endless yards all over the route and yet, we never got even...
Funnily enough, I returned to OSD a few days ago (trying to tie up some loose masteries I never bothered with) and saw some at the Burlington...
Happy new year to you all :)
I decided to spend New Year’s Eve by doing something I’ve come to really enjoy - running another one of our runs. Joining you, lcyrrjp and...
Tail light locos aren’t “safe” either since they’re usually occupied. At least for freight locos, they aren’t stored with head and/or tail lights...
I assume you waited until the compressor stopped working? It takes ages for the 363 to pump up a brake pipe and the compressor stopping is a good...
Very respectable run given the heavy load :) I don’t quite know how you got to Derby in just about 9 minutes though ;) Thanks for all of the...
Thank you so much for your input, DominusEdwardius. The two points that really stood out to me were: (emphasis mine) In many of our runs, we...
True. I feel like SoS could have been steam’s DRA or SEHS if it had been built up to with more stock available from previous routes and/or loco DLCs.
Thank you very much for your input. It’s much appreciated. Could you have a look at the test I did and share your thoughts? Here: I tested the 4F...
As far as I’m aware, the poster works for DTG, so it’s as good as it gets in terms of a look inside (happy to be corrected if I’m remembering the...
Something else I would like to bring up regarding the (to my mind significant) change in performance on the lower cut off settings. I don’t know...
Satisfying indeed. We’ve had a lot of runs now on here that fall short of the logs or timetables by a couple of minutes or were extremely hard to...
Could you explain why the indicated position and simulated position are so far off? I’d have assumed that 50% indicated cut off is actually 50%...
That would be incredibly disheartening. Surely abandoning steam traction completely can’t be the answer TSW is heading for. Sadly, it would...
Not gonna lie - the prospect of having another real performance log to work with was one of the main things pushing me towards picking up MML in...
This is a big one, for sure. Besides the two kettles shipping with MSTS back in the day, TSW was my first contact with driving steam locos and...
