The comparison is insane, the first time I came into Strood from Gravesend I had to do a double take, as it was unrecognisable compared to SEHS.
Just finished one of the 700 night test runs & yeah, this is the night lighting we’ve been waiting on. Perfect balance between the older ‘light’...
I do wonder if this sort of thing is why DTG’s ventures into new games keeps failing. They never really market outside of their existing...
They aren’t coaches on the 220, but powered units. Not sure if they allow those to be split like coaches.
What I love about the route, is whilst it’s rural, there’s still plenty of industry & rail infrastructure along it, combined with the 70mph speeds...
If the pattern follows last year (and it is so far) we can probably expect a couple more routes before TSW 7.
Crosstie isn’t wrong though, it’s abit…distasteful from a DTG employee, when DTG are the ones knowingly selling their product onto a platform...
Yeah +1 to the above, I waited for the various threads to fill up a little before plunging (there are a couple of people who always buy it first...
A good one would be, when playing guard mode to catch fare evaders hiding out.
I mean it’s unlikely to happen for reasons far besides PEGI. That being said it does make one wonder if a turd really would prevent a game from...
When you say Medway Valley Explorer, do you mean the route released today? I’ve done 3 runs on it, all with custom weather (light clouds set...
Ditto on the above 375 issue on PS5 Pro. That aside, it’s actually really hard to overstate how good this is. I don’t want to speak for the devs...
It does raise the question (one perhaps that’s been answered somewhere?) of whether all of this new content is getting made with the blurring in...
Well this route is apparently made with the fixes for that issue, so for me it’ll be a test of whether TSW has a future or not, on console.
I used to do this, but since TSW 2 (specifically rush hour) the wind noises became overbearing. I wonder if Matt avoids it for the same reason.
I’m well aware of the 3 more egregious devs on MSFS’ marketplace & I certainly don’t like their content. My point above though is what you’ve...
It’s all relative though. I’m sure if people started dropping bodge jobs of various locos that just looked like the real thing, for less than a...
I do think there needs to be a better way of previewing some content. Some shorter overview videos of the content would be nice (which we do...
Yeah, I didn’t say that it was.
The part about seeing your stopping pattern on the screen is interesting, could this be another step toward eBula ?
Yup & at the end of the stream he opens the layer list showing different stock to last nights.
Nope, it’s barebones tbh. I’m surprised they managed to hit 17 layers. It’s surprising as there’s obviously another TT for it, the one in ATS’...
That’s just one thing that we should have but don’t, I really doubt the substitution system will ever work to that extent. Even now they haven’t...
It doesn’t seem inconceivable to me that anyone interested in a freight locomotive, would also have interest in cargo line packs, especially given...
Is it possible though? I’m pretty sure there is no in game example of substituting a diesel unit with an electric, it’s always had to be a new layer.
It will need its own layer in every timetable, only thing it will ever be able to substitute for are other electric freight services of the...
Does the 145 sub into any diesel services though? The only electric services for the UK which the 90 could sub into are an out of era route.
They kind of gave away in the 90 preview last night as to why they do separate timetables. They’re saving time testing them by just cloning the...
It’s still something that needs answering. This is far from the first time a third party product update has been held back by DTG. They need to...
The Vectron & IC cars will be emulating EC runs, usually the ones to & from Prague. Loco swaps are usually swapping the Vectron off the EC train...
Cardiff would have been a great place to start making content modular. It should have been designed so that route extensions could finally be a...
FYI if you save the game after you’ve finished whatever you were doing in free roam, it will count any AP you got, so you will get loco & route...
To be honest I tend to stay out of these sorts of discussions since there’s an irrefutable bias on the part of getting something for free, no...
and causes blurry textures on consoles, also had to be removed from AAS’ route for crashing the game. Which is likely why German content is the...
So then the flip side would be high res textures with less functionally. The point is that everything taxes performance & the only way to mitigate...
You mean that M8 which has less functionality than the M3, M7 & M9? Not a great example considering it easily has the least cab interaction of any...
I think the M8 is at least in some part an older development. Even compared to the Harlem Line stock it’s pretty outdated.
Yeah I’d expect them to be 66 anyway - just hoping with the addition of the first all new freight loco in a long time, it will be in a TT making...
Both the 805 & 807 were already in whatever build was being shown last night, so I imagine they aren’t far off release inclusion if they don’t...
Hmmm…
I think the one thing I’ve noticed the pro do better, is where WCMLS was blurring on the base model, the pro escaped it (at least on non 805...
Yeah it’s a fair point regarding electric loco rooms, there are a few caveats at play with the 90 pack, for me the lack of an engine room which...
Yeah it’s a weird sticking point IMO. Most times we get an engine room anyway you can’t walk through it - very few locos have a fully accessible...
Yup, going back to my above point with dependency of MU/loco variants rather than new classes. Modern UK content has just become IET’s and...
ATS is streaming a first look now on Twitch. Got to say it’s great to see a dev not afraid to weather a loco just because of licensing. MAC...
This is the crux though, whilst most people with common sense understand inflation, it’s shrinkflation that’s become the issue & DTG are putting...
The way I look at it is, yes inflation is a thing & prices go up, but DTG have long been cutting costs in other ways since TSW 2, from multiple...
Yeah something or someone went wild with the new NEC pricing. How that has released for more than Medway will is hilarious. It had to be because...
This is where the free roam or something similar needs to be upgraded. Just swap out the planned stock for whatever it is you want to use (TSC has...
I have a suspicion this will be a loco ATS plan to resell a few times with various packs. I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see the passenger...
