As a point of order, TSC does allow you to continue after a SPAD if you select the relevant option in settings. Of course at that point it becomes...
This is going to be huge and I bet the route extension will be half the price of a TSW route DLC.
I won’t be going on the PC until after tea and then I have a run in SimRail to finish up first.
The other item that needs fettling with the 40 is the sound. You don’t quite get that full on frenzied roar at full power. I also can’t recall...
There is a layer for the 4F on WSR. But there are no other heritage railways in TSW.
True but this seems to happen every month without fail now. It needs to work properly, not to avoid taking up support resources each time.
If memory serves me correctly, isn’t it about now they also have their “Rail Fest” event, assuming it’s happening this year?
Quite ridiculous. I mean just going into Free Roam without actually doing anything should trigger as complete.
WRT to Free Roam, aren't there two ways of doing it? Either by selecting the specific free roam option on the menu, or spawning on foot then...
Presumably next up will be the route/extension DLC.
Not been on the 163 to check but I had a third successful save load yesterday evening. I will hopefully finish that run this evening then I want...
I’m not an IRL driver but most trains in the game seem to perform identically regardless of the weather conditions or seasonal challenges like...
The Pacer also suffers from lack of collision detection. At a stand, if you’re in the saloon, the exhaust smoke comes through the ceiling. A bit...
I noticed on WCMLS a full DC line run on the new TT only scored around 8k points. IMHO though, that is better and more balanced with the longer...
There's a Mastery requirement on both Cathcart and the Goblin line that require you to significantly exceed the speed limit...
Just getting a vibe this has been pushed back, which probably means the Cumbrian Coast unlikely to surface this side of TSW7. Hopefully will get...
Thanks, I'll use that method in future until/if the process for taking over the train is fixed.
Definitely an issue taking over 805's in service at MKC on the Up. Having worked 1R25 from Crewe to Stafford on B2C, I found the same train in the...
Oh I'll still be buying it as it's a good length route. Maybe not Day One though, given the teething issues B2C had. We have to tolerate IET's...
Yes we had this before when the instructions were a bit garbled. It was do free roam and pick up one collectible *only*. However that was...
Yes, yet another IET… :(
I raise you LIRR 2.0 for that. Even sticking at 10 or 15 MPH below line speed I still get nailed by the safety systems. Lesser penalties… for a...
I won’t be making a start until later on (after tea). I also have a SP run to finish up in SimRail (now the save game seems to be working) and a...
Have to disagree. Check out the beautiful stations at either end of the Dutch route. Even a simple texture overlaid would have been better than...
Actually that is a good idea, some sort of annual or even quarterly mastery with a significant challenge. Assuming it doesn’t fubar, this month...
The best that can be said for the audio is that it does sound like travelling in the front (unpowered) cars of an IET. That is to say little or no...
1. The concept was good but the route is too short. No one expected the full Cardiff Valley network but as a minimum it should have gone to Barry...
The Groundhog Day sounds like a knowing nod that many of us will save scum the Sherman Hill or SoS “Do what you want in the yard” scenario to get...
Edit: Successfully loaded a second save of the above scenario. Same issue with the driver's flashlight being on but otherwise looking good.
Drive 500 km in Simrail with the CD 163, without isolating the leading traction motors to eliminate the buzzing thyristor noise. (Only joking!).
Driving the new WCMLS timetable, there is a massive issue at Harrow and Wealdstone which means as soon as things run late it gets dogknotted. On...
As regards the WCMLS timetable, there is a massive issue at Harrow and Wealdstone which means as soon as things run late it gets dogknotted. On...
Yes I will have to try a few more saves, also see if we can now save/load on the original route. Though for now I've broken off to finish a run in...
The one that gets me is that long straight stretch at 30 MPHon Goblin Line. Can only assume IRL it’s some sort of structural issue. Thing is, we...
So… does this mean they sorted out the save game not loading, I wonder? Will give it a try after tea and see what happens. First the bad news…...
Ditto here, not even DLOGW. It seemed pointless with the remaster and full timetable in the offing. More than ever, we need DTG to shift their...
Just caught a very vague item on the TSW official Facebook page,”Next Stop GWE Remastered…” but it offers no indication of the actual release...
Fully agree. The last few months have been fairly boring, the main challenge being whether the system actually recognises what you have done...
Last year, February was the big mileage target - 1000 miles or 1600km driven.
As an aside, have to say I'm also enjoying the new timetable on WCMLS. Seems packed with trains, Currently doing an early DC line run from Euston...
It would be a nice one to get stuck into the February Mastery with (along with the 805 and excellent new WCMLS timetable).
Another one that ought to be bubbling under but seems to have fallen off the radar is the NLL extension to Richmond.
It seems fuller than the original. Leaving the 805 aside for now I’m currently driving the latter day equivalent of the old Master Cobbler, 1719...
Wouldn't have thought they would risk onboard generators feeding 25kv. Would guess they output at whatever voltage the traction motors are running on.
Yes and one is now named after George, the rascally Stourbridge Jn cat!
Not a driver but I did work on the railway for over 40 years. Minor infringements would probably be dealt with on a “tea and biscuits” chat with...
Not sure on that. In terms of route length, wouldn’t MKC to Crewe (Trent Valley) be significantly longer ergo bigger file size?
Not strictly routes though as per the title… :) More than likely Day One here for the 420, not sure about the 145 as I never got round to buying...
Nice suggestion, but who is going to build it? So far as we know, only UW are 3P’s for Japanese content and still to release Tadami Line. Given...
Ditto here which is why I rebought it and decided to give it a second chance (and I’ve now gone past the two hour window on Steam anyway). Still...
