Probably already reported but two examples of funky announcements. When a terminating train arrives at Wolverhampton and stops, the onboard...
I’m currently toying with the wicked notion of setting up a scenario to take a GWR Cucumber across there!
For some routes the upgrade is a downgrade. I took the free offer for the PS5, started a run on BML to find my train derailing itself just outside...
Oh yes, my comment is tongue firmly in cheek. And I’m sure the bearded one is already plotting a righteous vengeance. To use the overworked quote...
Zusi 3 has both fast forward and time skip and has equally if not more complex AI routines (dynamic routing) than TSW. Don’t forget, it’s all an...
I'm surprised they were allowed to get away with that, TBH.
Another one. The second element in the proper Journey mode is described as 1K40 Birmingham to Crewe, but it's actually an all stops Birmingham to...
While waiting time at Smethwick Rolfe Street, noticed the station information boards are showing the timetable for the Cross City Line... Maybe...
Well when you get to the Hot Wheels scenario on Bernina you might find it gets stuck and the objectives didn’t advance.
Mainly in the Control under various operators, finishing up as a Train Running Controller with Network Rail, though I actually started in the...
It was just a thought… However there are supernatural elements around the operation of the train, whether departing from Platform 9.75 at Kings...
Well, early retirement… Big 65 next year!
I'm guessing the other spooky train would be the Hogwart's Express from Harry Potter, but probably a minefield of licencing and permissions to...
I stand corrected! The LM sectional appendix was one I never succeeded in acquiring before retirement.
Nice to see a finished route emerge from the (to me) far too complex route editor. Kudos for pushing the project through to conclusion.
Nah, combined Welsh Highland and Ffestiniog Railways. That would get the LAMPOIL burning with a Double Fairlie and a Garratt!
As I said earlier, the viability of TSW probably now hinges on how much longer they can keep selling DLC into a game that’s already flooded with...
That much is true. As I said in the run up to release, IRL it’s a fairly bland section through generally flat North Midlands plains so it hasn’t...
I still have FSX SE installed over MSFS 2020, mainly so I can occasionally take the Level D 767 out for a spin. Of course, the whole thing is a...
I am currently crawling along at 60 MPH between Penkridge and Wolverhampton North so as to mitigate the wait at Wolverhampton. It’s hard to see...
A question many of us are asking (about the AAB project!).
Starting from Crewe P5 in the Up direction, the speed limit is shown as 60 MPH which is patently wrong as you are immediately on to a 20 returning...
I have encountered fog on most so far, though it does occasionally magically clear. But I do wish for Journey Mode both DTG and the 3P's would...
I doubt Preston to Crewe was ever going to be ready in time for the lifespan of TSW5. In fact I have a sneaky feeling we won’t see it until early...
I suspect they may be thinking that. We don’t know how well DLC is selling, but even DTG must be uncomfortably aware that their cash earner is...
They could probably reduce the vegetation slightly, might help a bit with performance. Seems a bit overkill in places. However as I just posted...
Just did 9S97 from Birmingham to Crewe and have to report I am quite zenned out. Lovely run in the 390, no drama or crisis to report. Only issue,...
Looks tempting and from watching a YT clip the sounds are similar but significantly different to EE locos where sound references are available....
I think they are gone as a dedicated unit and Adam Lucas who headed it up is now at Skyhook. Whether there is some subdivision of work within the...
I believe it's three - Riviera Line, the Morristown NYT route and the extended Dresden to Leipzig. What you don't get is the additional trains.
I suppose the good thing about Brocken, is that coming back to Wernigerode it's pretty much all downhill. And of course there is more to the Harz...
Purely personal preference but I would like to see it in the 70's or early 80's with the 4 REP and 4TC units and Class 33/1 locos push pull...
I will have a better idea later on today or tomorrow after a bit more play, My hot take remains that the route and 3D modelling is superb (apart...
The first railway I grew up with was the Tyneside suburban network, pre Metro. Ultra smoky Newcastle Central with (mainly) Class 101 DMU's...
It’s stupid really because you can set up incredibly complex things with AI trains, but as soon as you move to take over the train yourself all...
After watching the first 40 minutes of the Brockenbahn Blu-ray cab ride this morning, I’m secretly hoping it might be that. If any developer can...
To be fair, on the 350 run I did the brakes seemed about right, Bear in mind on WCMLS (and the 380’s on the Scottish routes) the brakes were way...
One other slight niggle. Particularly on the stopping service to Wolverhampton the announcements are a bit overwhelming. Don’t think you need the...
Trainz will never compete with TSW6 or TSC until you can set up proper timetabled runs for the player and have the AI sort out the routing for...
A little bit more from me then having spent roughly an hour on the route altogether yesterday evening. Definitely something a bit odd about the...
Ha, ha. Unlikely as I had already spent an hour trying to finish a run on Bernina after purchasing and installing, first. Need to spend more...
Probably already been reported, but selecting a Class 390 service from Crewe to Birmingham was spawning me on foot at random locations! Not sure...
Following on from the news about the personal attacks, in a moment of weakness (or madness) I took the plunge and bought the route. Have started...
Actually this scenario just bugged out on me. Got to Calgari(?) after following the instruction to proceed at 20km/h due to a hot axlebox. The...
Whatever the issues, personal attacks via PM's are not acceptable.
Is this the route that's in TSC or am I confusing it with something else?
In the Hot Wheels scenario you are constantly being given instructions to change ends, until the final shunt move at Campo. you are given the "Go...
There's probably more horror related stories around railways than ghost stories, though not suitable for a young audience. A few off the top of my...
Not strictly a ghost story, but this one and its sequels are about a young lad who discovers a bunch of live "OO" size people inhabiting his model...
Too long for a quick read, but a favourite from my youth... The Old Powder Line: Amazon.co.uk: Parker, Richard: 9780840761705: Books
