I think it would be fun too, but probably not a financially viable project unfortunately.
I'm eastern US and bought it from the Xbox store at Midnight. Do a search for "Clinchfield" in the store search bar.
The trail unit is set to "cut-in" in the tutorial. Once i cut them out the brakes work as expected. It's weird because they're setup correctly in...
Fantastic route. Really lives up to the hype IMO.
Holy cow- didn't realize the F7 had them, i don't think it mentions it in the tutorial (the sd40 tutorial does explain as you say above). Thanks...
Haven't had any issues so far, seems smoother than SPG for sure. This is on an base (non-kinect) Xbox 1.
Don't forget the SD40 has dynamic brakes- your best friend for downhill running.
For the brakes, one tap of LT will set brakes to "First service", which is about a 6 pound reduction. After that it gets tricky with the...
There's a control near the brake handle that you can toggle- it's very similar to the cut-off valve on any other EMD loco (GP38-2, etc). They do...
If you have the controls set to "classic" it does this for tutorials and scenarios on routes that are native to TSW2. The "preserved collection"...
OK, first off, I absolutely LOVE the route... But, have to vent a little. First service i ran after doing tutorial was Train 93 (i think, it's...
You have to cut-out the brakes in the trailing unit, but the tutorial never tells you this (just kinda had a feeling based on how MU setups work...
If you have the DB BR 204 DLC, it uses that track, but only for freight. I have no idea what runs there IRL. A DMU of some sort?
Only 10 hours to go for US eastern time- so hyped!!! US Freight is my favorite, so i've been really looking forward to Clinchfield. Caboose is...
I agree with your general point, but maybe this route would be in addition to a more popular route like NEC? We don't really know about about any...
Interesting. I mean they DID just create the F7A/B for Clinchfield, wouldn't be that hard to convert to an FP7....
I mean in the grand scheme of things, that's quite small. Games like Call of Duty regularly put out updates 5 or more times that size. Maybe on PC...
Quite a few people predicted a no-win situation for DTG when the whole roadmap concept was announced and that seems to be coming to fruition....
An public editor's not gonna happen- how many times do they have to say it? And there ARE 3rd party devs (Rivet, TSG, Skyhook), though i'm sure...
Weird, i remember this being a global option, not one you need to set for each route. Also never experienced OP's bug- would be super annoying...
Sweet- thanks for the info!
Intruiging! I had assumed they'd port over the DC-Baltimore section from TS20XX, but NJT is much more interesting IMO. Amtrak/NJT from NYP to...
Rode the Strasburg Railroad a bunch of times, especially as a kid. It's only about 25 miles from me. Not familiar with Reading and Northern- do...
Just get rid of it altogether, and put a "give up service" option in the pause menu. The dumbest "feature" in TSW2, imho.
I'd pre-order right now if i could *cough* xbox *cough*. But i'll be buying at 12:01am on the 8th. Haven't been this excited for a route before....
Well it wouldn't have to be immediately- even if they aren't able to travel until, say, the fall, that could still result in a 2022 release. I...
I vote yes as well, though i'd probably not prefer another high-speed route, but absolutely yes for something in Japan.
Omg i do the same thing lololol
D'oh, how'd i forget that lol.
Gary's articles are always fantastic, and i'm even MORE hyped for this route!!!
This is a great idea. I think the tutorials will have to be much more comprehensive than any that have come before for TSW. This is a more...
So, will there be a separate "Steam team" at DTG working on what seems to be a huge undertaking? As someone who doesn't really have much interest...
There's the answer, then. Saves me driving the 395 service, thanks for that- just much prefer driving the 375 and especially the 465.
Right i was hoping for a release this week, but probably was a little unrealistic with the holiday coming up. Here's hoping for next Thursday!
Just played it last night and had the same results as OP. The 395 overtook me at Newington and then sat at Rainham for about 6 min (seemingly at a...
Making a mental note to play this service. Sounds fun!
Great suggestion on this service. Just finished it with a Dash 8 leading and an SD40-2 trail, and it was a little touch and go getting over the...
Good info- thanks!
It's a "deadman's pedal". IRL if the engineer takes his foot off the pedal for a certain period of time, an alarm sounds and if he doesn't...
Somehow i just discovered this thread- fantastic!
FYI the NEC NY Route and its accompanying loco DLC (SW1000R/Keystone cabcar and CSX GP40-2) are not playable in TSW2. You might want to hold off...
The sound looping bug seems to affect all routes at times (at least on Xbox). One of the worst and longest-running bugs in the game IMO.
Thank you!!
I'd say get the MP36 and the MP15 for Penn Corridor, as you'll then have a really complete and busy route. I also really like the TVL, especially...
I'm enjoying it so far. It's a much different experience than anything else in TSW to this point. Probably won't be one of my everyday routes,...
Glad these have been added. Wish there were a few more shunting services in Acton yard- the passing traffic is busy and fun to watch.
Really like this idea!
Beyond excited for this one!!!
Very cool!! I'd like to nominate the Saluda Grade for a US Heritage route- now THAT'S an incline! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saluda_Grade
