Excellent news. Oh and just to confirm, the 377’s on WCMLS don’t have conductor (neither do the 423 runs on Frankfurt to Fulda).
IIRC wasn’t there something of a fudge, as they didn’t want to risk the demonstration failing, some of the mounting bolts on the Peak were, ahem,...
Plus their half a route effort for Bernina and their penchant for releasing traction with poor physics and sounds.
Scared, more like DTG are terrified of this route! Yet despite the Electrostar fest it remains one of the most complete UK routes in the game,...
Yes fairly certain JT said they were not contemplating going to Glasgow. That said, with the AC electrics in their roster not unthinkable they...
Yes. Already a game changer. Still a WIP as you need to load up the scenario and get in the cab before the load option appears. I also needed to...
Interesting point. If you keep reloading the same conductor mode run to finish it after saving (say) five minutes before the end, will it count...
Great stuff, will try it out. Edit,yes it works though you have to go back in the original scenario and wait to board the train. Also appears you...
I will have to check if the 377 runs from Wembley Central to Watford Jn and vice versa have Conductor mode as they are about 15 minutes.
Was actually my introduction to the Swiss metre gauge on my first visit in 1983. Of course back then, if you were travelling over the line on a...
This would make a lovely route, though I fear if Rivet did it we would get Zweisimmen to Chateux de Oux only (or Montreux to Chateux de Oux) only.
That’s me off in a huff, then! Maybe one day… :)
Along with the 310’s probably the best outer suburban AC units. At least the seats had a window you could see out of and not a wall or bulkhead.
True. Anyhow found the rest of the objectives… Complete 5 timetables exceeding 100 MPH. WCMLS here I come… Drive 400 miles… Complete 5 scenarios....
I will. Save me checking, what are the other objectives bearing in mind I need to tie this in with enjoying the new SimRail route extension?
Actually you can probably blame me for that one, didn’t I say earlier in the thread that Conductor mode would be an interesting alternative than...
Lancaster to Morecambe if you have the Shap route.
Appreciate the debate and responses. I have changed the thread title to something less provocative! And yes there are good routes in TSW,...
Well yes there are still the caveats but running in MP is not the end of the world and when the company is releasing DLC for that sort of price ,...
Just fantastic all round really.
I know! Don't even have to sneak a Steam Gift card past the wife to pay for that. As I just posted in the main section puts DTG's commercial...
Well the new SimRail extension to Lodz has just released, over 100km (60 miles) of route for £10.99 but with an initial release purchase discount...
The only route that had a regular issue with AI SPAD's terminating the player run was Spirit Of Steam and that was fixed some time ago.
+1 As the resident buffet car fanatic :) I fully support this. I have even gone further and suggested the role of an interactive buffet/restaurant...
Thanks for the tip! With my potato PC and Steam limiting D/L speed to around 9Mb/s probably looking at around two hours to grab it all.
Excellent. Just have a feeling this is not going to drop until 1800 UK time so depending on the file size, playtime this evening might be...
+1 Jan. However when Russian (or as we have seen in other threads Israel) routes are mentioned it does tend to be the number one reason why such...
The 442’s reused traction motors from the iconic 4REP “tractor” units. Personally if you were going to do Waterloo to Weymouth or a section...
Well not the first time the Central Line has been suggested. First things first, the current ATO operation would be mind numbingly boring. Close...
This is the problem with any WCML portion, even going back to BR days the very much “skip stop” service pattern. You would get trains call at...
Well you have got “The Bus” albeit set in Germany and if you can get it working OMSI2 is very good.
From the Steam description… “Each station along the route has its own distinct railway character. Your journey begins at Łódź Widzew, thoroughly...
Quite apart from the core and other issues this is an increasing problem Matt & Co need to contemplate. The game is now awash with content, much...
Mostly freeware and some of the content is quite old now. And as said. the general vibe I get from the Trainz Community is that very few are...
Then you hit the licensing issue again. Basically a chicken and egg situation. Also the data and sounds from TSC might not cut muster for for use...
Oh I get that and hopefully at some point the game will expand or get a route editor. Of course the EU07 and EP07 electric locos are based off...
Presumably but only DTG can answer that. However whichever way you cut it the lack of Australian content comes down to several factors as said....
I should make it clear this problem only occurs with the steam loco. Not the various electrics.
Not possible as TSW works off real world coordinates and terrain data. Then in addition to Eurostar licensing, SNCF have declined to cooperate...
I seem to have had a resurgence with SimRail. The route is now huge and is set to expand another 100km or so tomorrow when the Lodz extension DLC...
Could just be a change of management at the corporation. Someone comes in who is not well disposed to the idea of simulating their operations in a...
I also still have problems getting the brakes to stay off once applied then released. Doing the freight run again yesterday evening I braked in...
I look forward to being of service...
That's why I've started re-engaging with SimRail. Yes there's the baggage of the multiplayer and their relative neglect of the single player game,...
Unless they pull a rabbit out of the hat with some genuine much needed core fixes and QOL updates plus some quality routes, perhaps a new region...
Yes I think my train sim spend is destined for the SimRail Lodz route extension.
Great stuff! Getting quite pumped for this, so long as they don’t want £50 for it of course. I wonder if the steam loco will get any services,...
It will be the same bland list that we had in April. No reveal for a new UK route. I’m still convinced the announced German route will be bumped...
Yes one of the better German routes even if not that well known internationally - I had never heard of it until the TSW version arrived. The only...
Yes, it would be so awesome to be able to run the routes in full over several sessions rather than just random portions A not even making it to B....
