And anything more than a 30 or 40 mile section probably outside DTG's current route building capacity.
On the Bossman locos in TSC you can wind the cinder guard in so you don't get the glass scren obscuring the view in head out mode. Really can't...
Current scenario planner is far too limited, as we've all commented on numerous times. However despite numerous pleas and even posts in the...
It is puzzling. I mean Peak Forest is good but if it was suggested at some point, probably the modern iteration which includes the quarry at...
Best section of the ECML would either be Newcastle to York, with the slightly scenic and curvy bit between Newcastle and Durham, then the...
Actually wasn’t it a 20% rise? £25 to £30. And in some respects tallies with discussions above, put the price up, bring back the discount (£3 in...
Well I suppose at least they have put back the 10% pre order discount on most items, which is a sort of incentive.
Mentioned that earlier in the thread, along with Videoscene who give you points for buying tram or railway DVDs and other merchandise, eventually...
Good point…
Well the main issue with Harlem is still the random snarl ups that occur on certain runs. The route and trains are quite nice though, just a shame...
Kind of felt that about Night Train too. You take over at the last stop before Nottingham (had the previous driver been “naughty”?), drive into...
Purely IMHO I would wish the opposite - train performance physics should be as accurate as possible, otherwise we might just as well all go off...
One answer is to turn the driver assist off..? Must admit I’ve not had that message about cutoff but then I’m fairly conservative about winding it...
Perhaps that was the wrong choice of word but please see from the end users' POV. We have had so many route DLC's trumpeted all of which are the...
I do agree that if you're going to have a loyalty scheme it needs to be something meaningful, in the same way that Tesco Clubcard or Sainsbury...
Don't think anyone denies or doesn't appreciate the work which went into the actual route. The slight disappointment has come from the incomplete...
The Buxton to Millers Dale shuttle was an ex LMS Push Pull set, presumably using a LMS or BR Standard 2MT or 4MT tank engine. From what's been...
It’s called marketing and selective communication! However I think we have to be fair and recognise for a developer/publisher run forum there is a...
The timetable is indeed rather odd, thanks to the decision to start the route at Ambergate where few expresses call rather than Derby. Seems the...
Or indeed as I suggested earlier buy a virtual Day Rover (woof, woof) and travel up and down the line visiting the various POI’s.
I’ll have to look through the collection but certainly the one for sale on Steam, which dates from around 2010, isn’t shown as owned. I suppose...
...which is why I'm now driving the Class 101 all stations from Ambergate to Buxton. Yes it's a little OP in full throttle in Gears 1 and 2 (just...
I think I would have to disagree about the 8F as it is being underpowered. When I did the assist mission on SoS, it took off like a Class 87 even...
As the crow flies, or these days the A9 drives probably that, but with both the Lairg loop then the long trek up the Strath Of Kildonan then...
Absolutely this and while no one wants them to rush things and/or forgo thorough testing, the old cliche about proofs and puddings does hold true.
I suspect it's the lack of the full pasenger service which is more the issue, particularly local stopping trains, the expresses not booked to stop...
Actually Inverness to Wick is 161 miles with a further 6 miles from Georgemas to Thurso. It would be magnificent, set back in the era of Class 26...
Definitely not, in fact I think we should picket DTG Towers until they give us the required Class 25 and Class 104 DMU. And I agree about PIS,...
The mystic portal awaits...
It hasn't stopped DRS and their (his) interpretation is pretty good. Railcar dot co dot uk has many images on it and many of these DMU's exist in...
A retro GEML with 308’s, 309’s and diesel hauled InterCity services would be interesting but modern era would not be top of my wish list. Besides...
Re the 166, IIRC IRL the Turbo classes could not be coupled to Sprinters due to control and electrical differences, though the classes all share...
Don’t bother with NYT. Niddertalbahn is nice but the experience is very samey once you’ve done one run across the route in each direction, very...
Amen to that on the diesels. I really hope for once DTG are listening and already have a 25 and 104 on the whiteboard along with the retro skin...
The steam physics in TSW continue to be, IMHO, worse than those in Trainz! Got to wonder if Simugraph is really up to the task of calculating the...
I'm sure it never happened like this prior to the changes a couple of weeks ago. If this feature is here to stay, then the boffins at DTG need to...
As I said above, Journey Mode is going to work best on a route with diverse service patterns or where there are interesting scenarios that can be...
I will have to see if I can remember any of the other maximum loads but as it’s getting on for 5 years since I retired, the memory is a bit hazy....
I suspect Journey mode on MML is greatly constrained by the service pattern, which is essentially drive a HST from Leicester to Nottingham or...
They also stop on a dime, so you can hit the platform ramp doing 30 MPH and not even break a sweat that you’ll stop in time, probably not even...
The weight limit for a Class 66 before a banker is required is 1050 tonnes. Not sure about a 60. There are also further limits according to...
No it’s a long and tired bug with this route, some runs work fine but others just get jammed up. Another of DTG’s might fix sometime but probably...
Yes. Barring an actual incident the Royal Train never gets a signal check and is usually “double blocked” to further minimise the risk of a...
Interesting because the assumption previously was the failures were happening because people had failed to activate the fireman in manual mode. If...
I second that! And now we have a second example of a community mod in less than a week (first being the green DMU), this time fixing something...
Looks like the "nays" have it, including mine. This is why the proposals for modern tube routes rarely get an upvote from me as most of those are ATO.
So a customer can do a lovely green reskin of the 101, okay probably still with the BR blue interior, but DTG with all their art resources...
Out of curiosity, what is the undocumented key command?
Indeed. Nowhere more apparent that lighting needs sorting is Peak Forest. The route itself is superb, with a few caveats, but the lighting spoils...
Couldn’t agree more. Seeing the route from a diesel loco or DMU cab is totally different from looking down the long boiler of a steam loco.
Separate names with a comma.
