That would indeed be a great day. At the moment you get to Carlisle and have to hyperjump to Newton or Neilston as the closest location to pick up...
It’s still there despite the promises to sort it out. Maybe it really is part of a campaign to p1ss forum users off and get us over on Discord. As...
I also raise again the issue of the solitary save game slot. It is becoming quite a nuisance now but constantly ignored despite Matt himself...
I love WCMLOS and probably still my favourite UK route and right in my era. However I find myself playing it quite infrequently now as it requires...
Well the 294 would be handy to sub in on Maintalbahn with its 80 km/h top speed rather than trundling along at 55 km/h with the 363.
Plus the biggest elephant in the room - PFR certainly to Derby if not also to Stockport and Manchester. I could put up with the little...
Good suggestion though my wish for the GC in TSW would be the real thing from Marylebone to Rugby or maybe Woodford Halse to Annesley for the...
Good point. Of course my suggestion was a bit tongue in cheek. However you could argue putting collectibles as one of the objectives is...
In English please! :)
Windsor and Aston Brewery, cask ale yum! But seriously all the Thames Valley branches (apart from Heathrow for previously stated reasons) could...
It’s a good start but so much more potential. Just travel out on the real railway and see the range of minor issues that can quickly snowball into...
Yes, my bad. Didn't pick up the TSW6 bit at the bottom. Standing down from gibbering mode. Maybe October will have a Cucumber challenge - drive...
Which you still get indicated on the display with systems off as on LIRR1 and Harlem, just not the enforcement.
Final? No monthly mastery for October onwards in TSW6. Say it isn't so!
Sssh. But I think you can actually run the M3 trips on there without safety systems. Well I had one run that let me.
Good grief. And my wife was moaning earlier when our GWR Cucumber from Swindon to Bath Spa was 15' late!
Add my vote, nothing short of shocking this classic loco but still doing service now has never been added to the collection.
Gets my vote.
Like others have mentioned, I bought LIRR2 on sale to enjoy the extension but was put off by the mandatory safety systems. So if DTG used that one...
Just musing earlier, and it’s sort of feedback, is the reason this route ended up so short and poorly finished is that the route building team at...
A text report of the occurrence should suffice, giving details of the route, service and time it happened. Service failures generally occur...
Quite possible DTG have already done this, we will find out more when more in depth coverage of the South Devon route emerges.
Ffestiniog Railway would require DTG to dust off steam traction which seems unlikely, given it didn’t even rate a mention in the Direct...
I also highly doubt DTG would do another route which closely follows the existing NTP.
Thought I would check the Logbook as I couldn’t for the life of me remember this morning what I was driving before coming off the game last night....
Strange to relate all my conductor ones went through okay, even the save scumming to finish that part of the challenge.
Well I demolished the Conductor ones, as suggested by doing a Cardiff to Cogan run on CCN, saving before the buzzer at the last stop and just...
Or indeed possible legal action. Once the lawyers are involved, then you keep schtum in the public domain.
I think the choice of South Devon is a good one, but not necessarily the era. Driving a Cucumber from Exeter to Plymouth sound wise will be the...
To be fair, Matt as EP is pretty much a key player in this.
Yes when it was split off into Wales and Borders and Wessex Trains (later absorbed into FGW), the midday train across to Brighton ran from Great...
When I worked for Wales & West etc., the South Wales to Brighton services were top of the not to be cancelled list. You would lose a Birmingham or...
The heritage lines would make little sense without a fleet of GWR steam locos and suitable stock to represent the real life operations. Going to...
Wouldn't stop me playing the game but IMHO it would be a huge mistake to try and replace or downgrade the forum by switching focus to Discord...
Plan on having mine done long before TSW6. After all, will the mastery progress go across from 5 to 6 or will 6 even feature the monthly mastery?
Route itself is 50/50, at this point TSW is overwhelmed with so many unconnected DB routes that offer a fairly standardised driving experience....
Indeed. Network Rail’s linear Forest as opposed to Rivet’s virtual one!
Anecdotally, when GWR first cascaded the 165’s and 166’s to the Bristol area, they lost time hand over fist particularly on the Severn Beach Line....
Newton Abbot to Plymouth is quite scenic (IMHO) too, very hilly and with field patterns that need to be properly represented. I just hope Rivet...
Thanks for that. Guess it’s save scumming Morecambe to Lancaster, then. Though for the next few evenings I’m sort of testing SimRail single...
Sad to report the save game is still unstable even on the new beta. Took Train 6128 out on the Lodz route and was able to save and load a couple...
You also have the Lancaster to Morecambe runs on WCMLoS which are around 12 minutes. I was also wondering if there are any just Queen Street to...
Look on the bright side, at least we don’t have to do any walking or try to find collectibles we haven’t already done… ;)
That would require a massive buff to the AI logic, including replatforming at terminus stations. So I suspect any delays will be very minor such...
I really don’t get the obsession with Conductor mode, it’s a very niche part of the game when 95% of us want to be in the cab, or external view,...
Indeed! Which is also why we are unlikely to see the 802’s referred to as “Cucumbers” in any official communication or find we have (salad)...
I tend to rekindle my interest when the monthly mastery arrives but I have so much else I want to play, can often find myself resenting the grind...
When I first started gaming on PC, the likes of TFX (flight sim) came on about 10 floppy 3.5" discs. If you wanted to run something off the CD...
Actually I got the impression he was a bit edgy and more than a little defensive. While the DTG sounds are generally better than Rivet there are...
There's a few of them about! After a while you get to know who the usual suspects are...
Separate names with a comma.
