Steam traction is in such a weird place in TSW. Nothing feels completely right, just shades of wrong. We got the Jubilee to a place where it feels...
NTP is perfect for steam. Had a nice run with an unbraked 8F coal train on it (Descending to Manchester Victoria down from Miles Platting was...
It’s a missed opportunity for sure. That being said, I get the economic arguments that making the right track would essentially double the route...
On the braking I agree, although cutting out the electric brakes give her far more realistic brake performance. I’m not sure about power...
Absolutely agree. The Vectron should have totally come with an engine room. All of the engine rooms we have are simplified and that’s fine. If...
True, but I don’t totally agree. Not only did the 232 spread throught all of Germany, she quickly became a mainstay in the heavily industrial Ruhr...
I’m confused, you need to activate AFB on the 101 as well via the main switch on the lower left console.
Make sure to first enable AFB on the left MFD. It’s the symbol that looks like a speedometer. Then you can set a target speed and confirm.
Sorry for the necro, but the 4F still rubs me wrong so I did some testing. Feel free to replicate this test since I’ll happily admit to not being...
edward#5859, lcyrrjp Ah, mea culpa. I probably looked at the pause menu and it said 12 (loco + tender + 10 Mk1s). Sorry for any confusion :) Not...
Well, I’m hooked and had another go on SoS :) I ran the Merseyside Express (Crewe - Liverpool non-stop) departing Crewe at 21:10. Managed to get...
May I ask where this picture is from? Seems to be an awful lot of interesting information there.
Ah, so those must be the smoking coaches then.
Make sure to open the firebox door as this makes the fireman shovel coal. Otherwise, your fire will go out without warning and you get a service...
You mean if you apply the brakes while overcharged and they get stuck? You need to overcharge the brakes again. Then don’t mess with them until...
HUDless is the way to go, I do it too. You should try as well if you don’t. Everything feels much more alive when you’re only using what’s in the...
Lovely pictures, edward#5859! Especially enjoy these two:
Well, essentially, ‘release’ lets you put more pressure into the brake pipe than usual. There are different ways this works, but the end result is...
That’s normal. You’ll probably never get 5.0 in real life. Stay away from any release position on the brakes if you don’t know exactly what...
A bit awkward perhaps that arguably the least knowledgable person in this thread reports back first, but I used the first hours of the weekend for...
That’s for scheduled trains though, not shunting. Shunting moves are limited to 25km/h.
cwf.green will likely be able to confirm it for you but as far as I’m aware it has been simulated since DRA.
Yep, you got it. Only thing not covered would be an automatic car loaded far below capacity, but I don’t think that’s implemented anywhere in TSW.
I’m not sure where you got the idea from to subtract anything. It’s just the total weight up to max. If a car has automatic adjustment with 58t...
No, it isn’t. For manually adjusted cars, the brake weight is whatever the options on the lever are for empty/loaded. For automatically adjusted...
It worked for me by following the scenario exactly. Get moving (against a signal at danger!) first then ask the dispatcher via the radio in the...
Sign me up. Throw in a Br 151 loco DLC as well pretty please :)
Oh, I stand corrected. What a peculiar choice on Siemens’ part. I’m pretty sure the 189s don’t do that.
Fascinating, stujoy. Like erg73 I would have never suspected this to be the cause. Seeing how the PS5 controller has issues with stick drift...
You always change ends in real life. Driving with limited visibility is a big no no. If you need to reverse and/or have wagons obstructing your...
Well, that’s not entirely accurate. There are some privately owned ones. [ATTACH] (my own photo taken a bit more than a month ago) That being...
Thanks. That was exactly the point I was trying to make (awkwardly) with my work time comment. :)
How are they breaking for you? Never had an issue with the V60s.
As an aside, that wouldn’t be a problem you encounter in real life. You’d always drive with the direct brake in release position, not hold as it...
Depends on the person. I know some that found it mind numbing in real life too, but I didn’t when I was shunting. That was with 5 and 10 km/h...
Since you’re here, I was wondering if you could clue me in on something. What is the purpose of that little “pillow” on top of the cab desk?

They shouldn’t be removed, not at all. What should have happened though is something extraordinary worthy of a scenario. As it is, the scenario is...
Agreed. Not knowing much about the ECML, I was happy when I read the description of the scenario and thought I’d learn a thing or two. I was...
First clothes and now beer? What’s next? :D
I don’t know what it’s like on PC, but here’s what I found on PS5. Creator’s Club doesn’t seem to be stored locally permanently but is instead...
I know how to use them. I stand by what I said before.
If you want the actual answer, look in my signature. It’s not just about weight, but about how strong the brakes are. If you just want a simple...

Sad to say, but these discoveries certainly put Matt’s comment in a new light.
Honestly, I feel like what DTG is missing is a good partner from the US. DTG’s local to the UK so that’s sorted. For German content, they’ve got...
The red-lock on BRO is and thus stands a fair chance of being adressed somewhat quickly. But missing passengers? That’s not going to be classified...
