Never travelled on the real thing (sadly) but there are versions in both MSTS and Trainz. I also bought the cab ride Blu-ray and it is a...
Really no need to suggest what DTG should sell the routes for and we certaonly shouldn't be encouraging another price rise after it went up from...
Save game is pretty good these days. A couple of the German routes (BBO, Hamburg to Lubeck) still have issues loading into signal lock ups. If...
Interesting point. The closest we have to any vintage US rolling stock are the MBTA cars. Ignoring the push pull aspect, I assume it would be...
Well the one redeeming factor is that most of the routes I'm interested in building have three or four trains a day or in some cases, three to...
Got QGIS downloaded and installed, now we just need to be told how the heck we use it!
Lack of some discreet moderator "keep on topic" intervention. And back on topic, it would still be nice to hear from DTG why they decided not to...
You can have all the vibrating controllers you like, but no sim road, railway or aviation on a 2D screen is going to impart the same sensation as...
Muwhah, muwhah… :)
[ATTACH]
And as regards the 8xx class, I doubt anyone paying £100’s to take their family from London to Cornwall will be impressed by having to sit on rock...
First steam route. Wernigerode to Brocken. Sorted…
The old conundrum of every route builder. Are you creating for a train sim where people are driving from the train or viewing from humanly...
Agree with the OP, including a previously released UP loco with the route would not have gone against the policy of only one new loco per DLC....
Ah yes, the big muuuhahhah of the ATW Control in St David’s House at Cardiff when we sent a 143 instead of a 158 down to Milford Haven!
Yes like that 1999 Rally Championship by Magnetic Fields I mentioned in the other thread. All the stages of the six UK rallys, some of which were...
Yes please.
Like I said, anyone remotely interested in US freight probably owns Sherman Hill so it would have cost them next to nothing to actually include...
Given Peak Forest included two existing locos (no need to pre-own SoS) and the 4F, I really can't see why one of their flagship releases for the...
Is there actually anything you like in TSC or TSW? Just asking as your constant negativity makes me wonder why you are even here or playing these...
The 189 is a lovely loco in TSC, especially the sounds - a refreshing change from screeching TRAX!
That is useful information. I'll grab QGIS tomorrow - looks like it is freeware so that's good news.
Brilliant, thanks Maik, Think I will forget trying to practice in the standard UE editor and just wait for our custom version.
I’ve been enjoying the odd dabble in SimRail this week but still find myself back in TSW. I have a feeling their steam loco is not yet ready for...
Was mainly wondering if we have got an answer on the split timetable, use of BNSF power and LA night lighting.
And if DTG wish to proceed in that direction, entirely their prerogative. And as with this year, 95% of the customer base will look at what’s on...
Not watching live (playing Cajon then watching a movie) but what have we learned so far and initial impressions?
I still think it’s a good deal especially compared to N3V who wanted £55 for TRS22 then 18 months later another £55 to put “Platinum Edition “ on...
Was racking my brains on that too, but yes reckon by that time the old Merseyrail units had gone and the PEP’s were running the service. So the...
And a route editor. And a timetable editor. And a Vectron. And Flying Scotsman. Really don’t know what people are hoping to achieve, still...
Fairly certain they will be.
Maybe but it just seems totally daft to decide on a UP route and not include at least one loco to represent the freight traffic. Thety did it on...
Or they could have just bundled the UP stuff in with the route, especially as it's not exactly new any more.
Well they could have just included UP locos with the new route, given it's part of the flagship launch!
Just to reiterate the point made earlier, why are we seeing BNSF trains at all on this former Southern Pacific (now UP) route. BNSF traffic for...
If the line is operated by UP (it certainly used to be SP) why are the freight services layered in as BNSF anyway? I believe this point has been...
Well at least we should be able to set it up so the player can drive the timetable which still eludes me in Trainz. You can set up all sorts of...
Watching a bit further this morning, I actually think the timetable editor could be more challenging than building the routes. I was expecting...
Some routes have been merged in TSC to make longer ones and, most critically, they do not come with a comprehensive all day timetable - 8 to 10...
Leyland National buses were dreadful, well the National 2's weren't so bad as they had nicer sounding engines than the rather high pitched strange...
Sadly BBO is one of the routes that still seems to have issues saving and loading a game. Luckily most of the runs are under an hour so my advice...
Excellent Matt. Worst case I'll just leave the laptop on while we pop out for a walk or something.
Did this come after loading a save game? Affects just about every other route too.
Another challenge yesterday evening. Peak Forest, semi fast service from Chinley to Matlock, Jubilee and Load 7. Used the usual parameters of no...
Couple of housekeeping questions DTG Matt, if you get a second. 1. Does the editor go live on 21st or 26th September, the former for those of us...
RIP and condolences Anthony. Both my parents passed many years ago (mum in 98, dad in 2007) but it is a very difficult thing to deal with. Be...
And as I already noted above, SKW is a route that spends at least 50% of its distance in long tunnels and aside from the three stations on the...
Out of interest Maik, does the TSW version support this? Generally I dislike driving with the speed setter and prefer to use my skill (!) on the...
Yep all the NASA stuff is now 30m. North of about 60 deg latitude, where only the fearless (!) route builders tend to venture, I have still had to...
Plus very simple track layout and 50% of the mileage in long tunnels. Reading to Taunton would be nice especially if it included the Mendip...
