That guide is certainly useful, and I'm glad it's getting circulated. However, it does include some unnecessary steps. In the trail locos, it...

FWIW, CRR never owned any Dash-7s. The only GE locos it had were seven U36C's that it later traded in on SD45s.

IIRC, the sectorization of DB AG was imposed by the Bundestag over DB's vociferous objections in 1999.

When the 101 was designed, DB Cargo didn't exist. It was all just DB.

IRL, back-end units have to account for the grade and the fact that the front may be over the crest and heading down hill. Besides adjusting...

Running in Mode M doesn't mean you have to do 120- a speed limit is a limit, not a target! Besides, all German freight stock modeled in game is...

If Wiki says that, then it's completely wrong; apparently somebody has confused the 101 with the 120. The 101 was conceived from the ground up as...

Why Mode U? That's only a 500 ton train

Much more relaxed: just the one hard stop to let an eastbound pass. [ATTACH]

You could have just stayed under line speed and avoided most of the hassles.......

This one isn't exactly a "mod," it's more of a default livery which has been hidden in the code, and the only "mod" involved is unlocking it. DTG...

That's interesting

3 camera doesn't work if any part of the train is in one of CRR's innumerable tunnels......

This is not only "unfair', as game design, it is wholly unrealistic: that switch IRL would be guarded by a signal, and moreover with hoppers...

No, they didn't "roll down the hill" -the AI loco hooked up and took them away, just like it's supposed to. Uncoupled wagons won't roll anywhere...

At present, the game engine doesn't support multiple speed limits, so necessarily it only uses the highest that any train might use. Ergo, one...

Sand Patch came with three. NTP came with two locos and a DMU. PenCo came with two locos and a cab car. On IC2: FWIW, not a fan. IC2, at least...

That would depend on my buying the 101- and I'm not sold. If it included the cab car and all the variety of coaches that make up a real-life IC...

[ATTACH] BR 146.2, Main-Spessart Bahn

As if that hasn't been tried? That's sort of like "rub some chalk on your hands, then you can lift that piano." A bit of grit doesn't come close...

Seconded.

It isn't actually the tracks rendering, but the shadows. DTG have hard-coded the shadow draw distance to be really, really short- even on PC, you...

And via Scenario Planner on SKA and HMA.

When HBL comes out, the 112 will be available as a substitution for the 146 and other passenger locos. But a substitution is not a service layer.

Squeaky wheels getting grease

Correct. But Sam has said CC will definitely not be Abellio. (At a guess, I would conjecture that DTG have approached Abellio in the past for a...

How that works is very much a question of corporate structure. Some conglomerates leave trademark and licensing issues to the subsidiaries, some...

Don't hold your breath. Existing routes don't get services for new locos added- at least, not unless Adam goes in as he apparently has with RT,...

Does it make any sense to replace a poky little 120 kph freight (and slow passenger) engine with a 200 kph express speedster? Kind of like...

Both are owned by First Group.

Has a longstanding series of amusing driving videos under the handle "Colonel Failure."

To use dynamic brakes (this applies to the F7 as well): Reduce throttle to idle WAIT until the ammeter drops to zero (I don't know if the game...

Cathcart Circle is apparently going to be in First Scotrail markings, so derived from the same license.

FRA would have a field day fining DTG's American locos for their totally defective headlights. No working setting above "night light."

The key word there is driving. How much fun would a modern Victoria Line '09 Stock with ATO be?

I think that there may be something of an impulse at DTG to capture a moment before it's gone. GWE is set in what was not only the "present"...

The dead-throttle bug in the '72 Tube Stock is longstanding and widely discussed; there has finally been some progress made on figuring out what...

It looks really good; all I would do is up the transparency on the streaking to make it less jump-out-at-you.

Getting there; it's progressing now. What I did was make two bargain-basement "Clinchfield"s, that aren't all that accurate but much cheaper in...

Building a station is a huge job of work, one far beyond Adam's little team of four. In general, I can't see DTG adopting a policy of trying to...

I don't use it myself, but the impression I get of Tik Tok is that it's populated primarily by 1) vapid teenage girls, 2) trolling teenage boys,...

It is odd, because we either have to assume it's set in the NSE days, or just accept an anachronism. The rolling stock is therefore 1990s: does...

I have no intention of condemning console users to the abyssal void. While I play TSW on PC now, I started on XBox. The only reasons I changed...

I love that classic cream-and-crimson livery ("beige" and "purple-red" were the official colors). I did an ICE3 in them. [IMG]

Have to be pre-2015, since it won't be Abellio

You think we get the short end? According to the marketing people, a very, vary large proportion of TSW customers are Australian- and has there...

This is how it works (with any software company on the planet): QC: We found a bug in the software scheduled to release Wednesday next....

That's the only reason I bought it. The HRR route itself holds little interest for me. Whereas the new 425 layer in HMA has already added some...

I don't believe this patch included anything for Bakerloo. So if you found a bug, it's an old one.
