Second pack should have a new loco, preferably Class 60.
Well if the TSC timetable with the 172 is accurate you really have to rag it to keep time. Funnily enough I do like Cathcart especially the runs...
I think the biggest question is why have we been frequently told both by DTG and the apologists, that route upgrades and extensions are not...
I haven’t really tried the AI yet, can’t quite get my head round how it works as you don’t seem to issue commands as you would (say) in Trainz. So...
They used to advertise appliances in men’s magazines to help with that sort of thing…
Which sadly is another one handled EMU, seems to be a DTG speciality. No doubt whisper quiet and even if it does have a decent traction sound, DTG...
It does look good, I have to admit. But there is the thing, if you have the TSC version you don't really need the TSW version. A couple of trips...
Got it working, but as I recalled it really is a stop/start bus service. Never much more than a mile between stations. Not very fast either,...
It's the second one in Career mode, Gospel Oak to Barking but as I said seems to be working now.
Well knock me down with a feather, it worked this time after making sure the T key was the first thing I hit. Still something the devs might want...
I have released the brakes with the A key but still showing 1.9 bar.
Hee, hee. Anyhow about to try it again. Maybe trigger the loading before touching any other controls. I know I have done a run on the route with...
It's strange as obviously the first time this occurs is when you trigger loading at Gospel Oak, at the start of the trip.
Problem is, you have to press T to trigger the station stop/open doors which immediately puts in the emergency brake. I can’t see a way round...
Thought I would take a spin on the TSC Goblin Line section to help in deciding whether to buy the forthcoming TSW version. Unfortunately the 172...
Scratch that as the 172 now seems to be bugged. Hitting "T" to open the doors now triggers an emergency brake application which can't be recovered...
About to refresh my recollection of the route in the TSC version, will report in later.
I think with Canton the old 158 sets went into the 153's. The 150's and later 142/143's got their own version of the Chapmans which of course were...
I always liked them, despite working in Control exposing me to the vulnerabilities of the fleet. The engine sound was much sweeter than the...
Probably jumped the gun in announcing their intentions, then. Looks like I’ll be buying Train Crew in the sale after all.
BCC is actually a route of two halves. New Street and north very good, but the southern bit looks like a different builder took over. The broken...
Similar how Bedford to St Pancras became disparagingly referred to as the "BedPan" line in the late 70's when the Class 127 DMU's were on their...
Gospel Oak Barking Line.
I think there was a veiled reference by JD in one of the other threads that steam physics are unchanged and seem likely to remain so. So don't...
Exactly my point. They seem to think they know what we want. Presumably they do have some sort of focus group they run these ideas by, but if they...
In the midst of all this, with at least a passing interest in Japanese routes (old Densha de Go and BVE fan here) it's gone very quiet what Union...
Yes there are things to be positive about. BPO continues to please as do many of the older routes. The Class 104 is eagerly awaited too. However...
Exactly what it appears we are not getting with the Goblin line. The opportunity to provide an extensive and interesting network with various...
Can I be a really old fossil and suggest this should have been NLL, Goblin and Camden Road to North Woolwich in the.70’s, when Broad Street was...
Well we don’t know what the selling price will be yet. But I agree doing Goblin in isolation rather than going the distance and including NLL is...
Oops! “Hello Control, driver here. This cab is b….y freezing. I want a fresh set.”
Seems like another phishing thread to me.
Indeed the point I was making. Railroader does miss out certain elements, as does TSW just different ones. And the RR developer has already stated...
Yes I always thought it rather charming while pedalling along at 25 MPH, the latter of course being the main issue (not really DTG’s fault) and...
I think this will be a wait and see for me too. Will the 111 end up as a clone of the 110 or 103 as regards sound or physics, or will it be all...
I live in Phishingville.
Indeed. That would make it much more complete and a Day One purchase regardless of my distaste for the modern era. But as it stands, this will be...
No brainer really. Blackpool branches.
This is also a route where it would be ideal to “chain” your runs into an actual driver shift, saving as necessary. But we again hit the elephant...
Perhaps I was a little ebullient but it’s still saying something that what’s essentially a strategy game has done such a good job. And I’m sure...
Perhaps they put the US route on hold after playing Railroader... :) :) (Typing this while about to haul another load of logs out of Connelly).
Well that's not good. You (as in corporate DTG) do realise that Railroader now actually has better physics on its steam locos than those in TSW...
So it looks as if it really is just the 13 mile route. If it's done well then as I said might be worth a sale shot, but getting the vibe this is...
I notice there’s not a dedicated thread for this in the feedback forum yet. Ultimately the $64k question to anyone who has bought it is; was it...
It’s a bit on the short side but guess there is an outside chance the teaser is just part of a larger whole, maybe the NLL from Stratford to...
I suspect there was a "penalty" for not reaching the scenario challenge target, after all. We will find out in due course.
