It might just be speculation, but I don't think TSW operations really recovered from Covid. The introduction of the "work from home" culture with...
Most 3D modellers worth their salt would have relished the chance to have a go at that!
Appreciate your candour Chris and good to finally hear it acknowledged. The sound squelching as I call it definitely got worse around the time...
Or a Rivet 150/2? I’d be begging for a suspension or the sack to avoid that!
No the keyboard is wired via USB. I have a cordless mouse and a wired gamepad also plugged in via USB (oh plus printer but that’s normally...
I understand OP frustration but probably not the best sub in which to put a general observation. However the situation isn’t helped by the wall...
Not sure if it’s related but I had an instance last night of the keyboard input completely switching off. Previously this has occurred after one...
One word… Stubborness. We have said the same re other routes in the past, but it’s always publish and be damned. Presumably if they pulled it at...
As I’ve said in the other threads, the 150 and 153 sound virtually identical so it should not have been beyond the wit of DTG and Rivet to clone...
A 153 working hard is quite something. Back in my ATW Control days, I managed to escape for a jolly up the Central Wales Line. Climbing up from...
Don’t worry. DTG will put a Thomas face on it and be powered by pixie dust…
As I’ve said several times! However even if DTG are actually reading this they are too arrogant to adopt such a sensible suggestion. Though I mean...
The 380 is quite nice and better than that awful 385, just the braking is still off having supposedly been patched still too harsh. IMHO the...
Only if the “one to one” is in a nice cosy Mark One RMB!
Excellent news Adam. The 158 (and the VP185) are amongst the best UK traction we have in TSW. (Well that’s not big and blue with yellow ends.....
And of course all this is still just based on the preview stream etc. God knows what the poor sods who buy this on Day One are going to find on...
The SCS truck sim sounds went down in quality when they switched to FMod. You seemed to get either an idle sound or full revs and nothing in...
Yorkshire tea, well stewed and whole milk. With a nice chocolate digestive or two, please!
Agree. A small route gives you the opportunity to go to town with the detail. I mean look at JT and WCML Shap, they packed an insane amount of...
You forget your history. The 150 sounds were originally sourced from AP which is pretty much as good as it gets, but Rivet botched the mix along...
Surprised to see the Ludwig route already getting a discount. Though not really tempted.
It has been known for Driver Vern to open the throttle a bit and do 40 or 50 along there…
Which WCML? If Shap then I would say that should be number one priority, so long as you don’t mind the stutters wrecking the Class 87 sounds....
Quite ironic, going back a few weeks I was quietly stoking my Steam Wallet account ready for the procession of add ons. Then first Mildmay got...
Sadly combine that with the element that spread the gospel that, "Oh but we must buy it because otherwise the developers will be upset and go off...
At this point, is CTS even worth paying £5 for?!
If Just Trains had done it, we would have got the whole Valley Lines plus freight branches, the SWML to Bridgend then the Maesteg branch, plus the...
I think we need a counterpoint for that: "If it's not on my wishlist, it's not getting bought."
Well I see we have another patch but still disregarding the biggest issue which is the stuttering and sound squelching. Seems most of the work has...
I actually fired up Run 8 last night, thought I would give Donner another go. Quite enjoyed myself even though the scenery is a bit, meh....
A grey area of it ever got to the point of being released as a commercial venture, though. It can only be sold through DTG and they are cautious...
There are licensing issues with XC. Also would really need to come driveable with a route. No one is going to buy a train pack just for AI.
West Highland with a 153…sacrilege! Steam heat Class 27 and Mark Ones including sleeping and buffet cars. Seriously though, it will be...
Same here. Played it when the early access came out, think I got as far as repairing the first bridge then drifted off to something else. IIRC it...
At this point, DTG are more like the dodgy used car showroom. Selling a write off that’s been stitched back together, the odometer wound back 50k...
Agree with pretty much all of the above and at the risk of repeating myself, why the fudge didn’t DTG and Rivet talk to each other regarding the...
I fear quantity is taking over from quality but at M&S or Waitrose price levels, nor Aldi or Lidl! I haven’t watched the stream yet, but taken...
Yikes, that looks like something from Trainz 2006 using ancient hedge splines!
Exactly! As I said above they could have pretty much copied and pasted the new physics and sounds from the 153 to 150 in Simugraph with slight...
Not watched the stream but given the 150 and 153 use the same Cummins engine and Voith transmission, why the fudge didn’t they alias the sounds...
It's an ongoing issue. It's always been a less than optimal game for performance, but TSW5 made it a lot worse and recent patches even more so....
Hopefully along with replies to the more earnest questions... :) :) :)
Oh the Whitby line is quite scenic, well once you reverse at Battersby and head towards the coast. The NYMR is also a scenic route, albeit mainly...
I suspect there’s a long path from getting something up and running in the editor to it being approved by DTG for sale or even free distribution...
One further question, well more of a request really. Please don’t yak constantly over the train audio particularly given the concerns over this...
I suspect the answer you will get re the headlights is that, particularly back in the era the route is set, the illumination was more for the...
I mean after the experience with SSS and their LOVE poor response to the Stainmore broken signalling, the only way I would ever buy another one of...
And the arguments of the fan club that “DLC pays for the core” will be devalued if no one ends up buying content for a broken game. I’m already...
My personal view is that I will rarely if ever buy content outside of Steam, even AP or Caledonia Works. I like the refund option if it turns out...
Of course if the route had gone to Barry Island and at least Caerphilly in the north (as it should) there would have been some scope for freight...
