The best that can be said for the audio is that it does sound like travelling in the front (unpowered) cars of an IET. That is to say little or no...
1. The concept was good but the route is too short. No one expected the full Cardiff Valley network but as a minimum it should have gone to Barry...
The Groundhog Day sounds like a knowing nod that many of us will save scum the Sherman Hill or SoS “Do what you want in the yard” scenario to get...
Edit: Successfully loaded a second save of the above scenario. Same issue with the driver's flashlight being on but otherwise looking good.
Drive 500 km in Simrail with the CD 163, without isolating the leading traction motors to eliminate the buzzing thyristor noise. (Only joking!).
Driving the new WCMLS timetable, there is a massive issue at Harrow and Wealdstone which means as soon as things run late it gets dogknotted. On...
As regards the WCMLS timetable, there is a massive issue at Harrow and Wealdstone which means as soon as things run late it gets dogknotted. On...
Yes I will have to try a few more saves, also see if we can now save/load on the original route. Though for now I've broken off to finish a run in...
The one that gets me is that long straight stretch at 30 MPHon Goblin Line. Can only assume IRL it’s some sort of structural issue. Thing is, we...
So… does this mean they sorted out the save game not loading, I wonder? Will give it a try after tea and see what happens. First the bad news…...
Ditto here, not even DLOGW. It seemed pointless with the remaster and full timetable in the offing. More than ever, we need DTG to shift their...
Just caught a very vague item on the TSW official Facebook page,”Next Stop GWE Remastered…” but it offers no indication of the actual release...
Fully agree. The last few months have been fairly boring, the main challenge being whether the system actually recognises what you have done...
Last year, February was the big mileage target - 1000 miles or 1600km driven.
As an aside, have to say I'm also enjoying the new timetable on WCMLS. Seems packed with trains, Currently doing an early DC line run from Euston...
It would be a nice one to get stuck into the February Mastery with (along with the 805 and excellent new WCMLS timetable).
Another one that ought to be bubbling under but seems to have fallen off the radar is the NLL extension to Richmond.
It seems fuller than the original. Leaving the 805 aside for now I’m currently driving the latter day equivalent of the old Master Cobbler, 1719...
Wouldn't have thought they would risk onboard generators feeding 25kv. Would guess they output at whatever voltage the traction motors are running on.
Yes and one is now named after George, the rascally Stourbridge Jn cat!
Not a driver but I did work on the railway for over 40 years. Minor infringements would probably be dealt with on a “tea and biscuits” chat with...
Not sure on that. In terms of route length, wouldn’t MKC to Crewe (Trent Valley) be significantly longer ergo bigger file size?
Not strictly routes though as per the title… :) More than likely Day One here for the 420, not sure about the 145 as I never got round to buying...
Nice suggestion, but who is going to build it? So far as we know, only UW are 3P’s for Japanese content and still to release Tadami Line. Given...
Ditto here which is why I rebought it and decided to give it a second chance (and I’ve now gone past the two hour window on Steam anyway). Still...
Outside the UK we don’t know when the German (steam) route will drip though I have a feeling it’s not at the head of the release queue. Ditto,...
Whatever it is - Medway, Preston to Crewe or Trent Valley hopefully DTG will stagger the releases so we don't end up with a sudden glut of...
Additional feedback after rebuying the DLC. 1A44 1501 MKC to Euston (ex Chester) has the pantograph down on taking over the service. Think this...
The model itself is great. The timetables are great. My only real gripe was the sounds but I have reflected that maybe I was being a bit picky...
When I tried it on diesel, the pantographs on both sets came down and I could hear the DPU’s running on all the powered cars. The only anomaly was...
100% support this proposal. This should be a DTG produced item too so no issues between 3P’s layering into or being used on their routes.
Shap.
Actually this is an inverse case of where the IRL sounds should have been modified for the in game experience. The thyristor buzzing is intrusive...
Neither is having the Class 31, Class 47 etc. play the “thrash cam” sounds into the leading cab, but where would the entertainment be if the cab...
Being realistic is half the problem though, it is a thoroughly boring, bland modern train so far as driving in the sim is concerned. I would...
We will have to differ on that, then. To me it sounds identical to when I slapped an 802 on WCMLS in free roam. It will have to wait for whenever...
This may have been suggested before, but I would like to see an option when selecting a run from the Timetable to substitute in a train of the...
In my brief evaluation I would have to say the traction sounds are no different to the 802, or even the 801. A few new recordings of in cab clicks...
There were a few reports that said the sounds were better and that a recording trip had been made. Guess that was enough to make me decide to...
Which doesn't make a lot of difference up front in the cab. Maybe aesthetics if doing conductor mode, which I avoid other than for monthly mastery...
Ditto. There is really nothing about driving this that is anything special, if I want to take a Knotweed from Euston to MKC or Birmingham to Crewe...
Gotcha!
The Euston to MKC run completed without incident. Now started a Crewe to New Street run on B2C. I made a deliberate decision to switch over to...
This issue has been discussed - it's AABS' bespoke method of trying to avoid services being despatched on a red, but it goes against how every...
Need to post in English on this forum, please.
The counter to that is the 37 already exists, would just need reworking into a 37/4 if going for the latter days of loco hauled operation in the...
Despite my stated views I found myself hitting the buy button on this an hour or so ago, mainly because the overall feedback seems generally...
This evening I dropped in a 2300 tonne freight which struggled to move without any traction motors switched out!
Along with the 10% discount for so doing. A nice little sweetener particularly for items you might not be too sure about, like the Class 805....
This would be nice but for goodness sake let's have it in the loco hauled era with Class 26 or 37, not a Sprinter DMU! Class 26 digging in to the...
