Would still like something based on Dutch/German cross border at Bad Bentheim but set in the early 80’s so we can finally get some DB UIC stock in...

No Class 159’s came after the 50’s in around 1991. The 33’s were displaced in the early 80’s when more HST’s on the WR in turn cascaded the Class...

Reference track laying, sounds like elements of both TSC and Trainz Procedural at work. In Trainz it can be very difficult to get the procedural...

That’s an interesting thought. It’s more practical on routes where there is a frequent service rather than (say) Peak Forest where there might be...

One thing I will give Rivet credit for, is they do seem to have a knack for crafting interesting scenarios, rather than just dressing up a...

The one thing I have noticed is that dropping cutoff from even 20% to 15% seems to make a massive difference in steam consumption, more than you...

Well TSW4 should open up a lot more scope to do scenario planning.

Another good one would be part of Waterloo to Exeter, set around the transition from Class 33’s to Class 59’s. Although it is strange to reflect...

I'm certainly quite hyped and unusually positive! I think the route selection this time helps, even if I would have preferred a Deltic on my ECML....

There are so many candidates it is difficult to choose! Personally would like to see part of the Marches Line from Newport up towards Hereford and...

I would be interested to find out what the minimum operational pressure would be for a Jubilee before the loco stalls out, or more likely there is...

Excellent.

Very odd sounding loco though, but better than the singing TRAXX ones!

I now try and drive with signal distance off (have always turned the aspect off) but it is useful to still have the option. The main thing I’m...

[ATTACH] Okay finished my run. Game recorded as 53 minutes but the net time was 1043 - 1132 so I'm declaring 49 minutes. Very briefly... After...

Very true, which is why something like the Riviera Line with a mixed traffic Hall and a tank loco (Prairie or Pannier) would be IMHO a better...

I do think now we have four UK steam locos in TSW (well from 21st September) something ought to be done for German and North American steam. For...

Now and again. If you go back to 1995 and Transport Tycoon Deluxe, one of the things I always wanted to do was ride around the map I had created....

Exactly. Each train sim developer has their own business model. Run 8 for example sells routes (other than those with the initial install)...

:D:D:D:D:D:D

That will probably be my first dip of the toe in the water! Also key will be how the tools run on the laptop. Currently sat here with the TRS22...

Their Bristol area would be great, Severn Beach line etc. Very good in TSC. Think they have ruled out the Met for the time being and anyway I...

Pretty much agree with the OP list. Landscaping will be a key part. I did have a look at the UK Gov Lidar site a couple of days ago but it's a bit...

It's strange in that since retiring I seem to have much less time to build routes when I was working! Probably because at least until I jumped...

Not really, just you are not comparing like for like. Besides DV has been out for something like three years and only now are they coming out of...

Perhaps we can keep the wider issue of business ethics etc. in one of the other threads and keep this for the purpose intended, please.

Totally different paradigm. You run one train on a single map with a fictional setting. You have to do all the route setting and navigate...

Did someone say TARDIS?

Which is why Riviera Line far more likely as a BR steam or steam/diesel transition era route, IMHO.

Finished the run after a brief wait at JK for the opposing train. The only issue I had with the scenario was each time I loaded the save game,...

Personally I would prefer a written wiki or manual to streams or abstracted YT clips, but will take what we can get.

Strange thing is, I actually quite like Arosa particularly in certain lighting conditions it is sublime. The loco could do with some physics work...

Steam in TSW is far from perfect and I suspect even DTG are quite aware of that and hopefully allocating developer resources to try and improve...

Only one I might need to get is Luzern to Sursee if the RAB unit layers into Vorarlberg. Otherwise I will be looking to pick up Linke Rheinstrecke...

That’s interesting. I will have to do a subsequent run using that method. I won’t be back on the game until after tea time but will report in! Of...

So far so good, just passed Weaver Jn 19 mins after departing Crewe. Fairly modest top speed around 70 MPH between Winsford and Hartford. Running...

In terms of controlling speed on the downhill section, no issues whatsoever here. I crested the summit at 15 MPH and gradually took the power off....

At the end of the day, everyone has their own preferred section of the ECML. Mine is Newcastle north to Berwick and Edinburgh, some wanted Kings...

I mentioned Stray (which I paid £25 for) in another thread and while it's a great game, if you ignore the B12 memories and other side missions,...

Well if none of it interests you fair enough but you would have to be (IMHO) a fairly lightweight train simmer not to look forward to at least one...

I went for Deluxe as I want all three routes plus FS. I need Linke Rheinstrecke but will be waiting for the next sale as it will probably be at...

Can't really see the OP point. You either take the Deluxe version at around £8.00 more than the cost of a single DLC, or you wait to buy the ECML...

Got to agree. Don't want to see censorship on here but really what's the point of another complaining thread. OP could easily tag their thoughts...

I’ve been following that with interest and keep meaning to give it a try, though currently doing a scenario on Horseshoe Curve.

Will we need Luzern to Sursee to get the SBB RAB layer or do we reckon they will be included? If the former, guess I’ll be picking up the Rivet...

Steam sound does need some love, the distinction between the same locos in TSW and TSC is quite marked. Up to about 25 MPH they are okay but over...

I just started the scenario last night to test it, but bedtime got in the way. One thing I did notice is the briefing at the start tells you to...

I do wonder if that's something JT might have in mind, once they get Ormskirk to Blackpool out the door. Maybe Rhymney (probably the most scenic...

Yes pretty much identical. I guess B replaces the 1 and 2 positions on older CVT boxes. I will have to try that on one of the steeper hills around...

I would probably have bought all three too so with the pre-order discount it's actually quite a huge bargain. And that's without the Flying...
