There are several main challenges with the TS editor vs. Trainz. Main one is lack of assets. You can tick the DLC you own and hope the original...
I have been running the 87 on Preston - Carlisle - Glasgow the last couple of evenings and it is superb. Managing the tap changer is totally...
It’s just so ironic that we can have a lovely immersive soundscape running TS, but by choosing UE for TSW, DTG have locked themselves into such a...
I never really get the bell, it’s the one thing which ruins any YT etc. clip watching US trains. Even worse on some of the locos in TS and TSW as...
I am fundamentally opposed to this in TSW but having left it on out of curiosity, think DTG have shot themselves in the foot TBH. For starters...
As nothing in the TSW sale interests me, currently weighing up whether to get Welsh Marches or Helensburgh to Fort William. The former is...
Any of the UK classic diesels worth a look. The Class 20 and Class 31 particularly nice, if you have Tees Valley Line.
400 miles unlikely. I would hope there's an outside chance of getting one of the northern sections at some point, maybe Lancaster to Carlisle...
Good call and best era.
My Google Fu was obviously lacking... :) Cheers, 749.
Well having taken a brief time out to run the 87 in TS on WCML over Shap, I have to say the sounds in TS put TSW to shame. The 87 is brilliant of...
I’ve done a bit of Googling and saw something about the Edinburgh merge but not one that lets you run from Preston to Glasgow.
It was a safety measure introduced to increase visibility of approaching trains to track workers and reduce/prevent fatalities. With the...
Was wondering if there are any merges for these two routes and if so, 1. Which is the best and 2. Where it can be obtained from? I would prefer...
I used to but after a few disasters with leaking barrels, plus most of the homebrew shops closed down I abandoned it. But there was nothing quite...
Well I for one am not automatically rushing to buy every DLC. Neither the Harlem line and Sursee particularly interest me, nor does the...
Artificial sweetener is known to be worse for you than sugar, consists of a rather nasty chemical. The intense fizziness is also detrimental to...
When it also extends to the lineside and next to bridges etc. Or in the middle of nowhere on Cane Creek or Sherman Hill!
Funny I was just musing about my trips over the WCML in the 80s. Got that lovely electric whine drifting back from the loco, especially the 87s...
It is nice to do the Journeys in order but as noted you always have the option of calling up the list and picking each leg individually. Handy for...
You don’t see them in Tees Yard either… :love::love::love:
Sorry pal but it is relevant. Many people faced with huge cost of living rises don't have the spare cash to spend on sawn off routes with just one...
There's a world of difference between licencing real world brands that are part of the core gameplay and ads which are intended to persuade the...
Just tried this scenario with the Class 20 on TVL (Journey Mode) and the issues previously reported are still present. After dropping off the...
The only EMU's I really want to see are those that step back a couple of generations - VEP's and CEP's in the case of Kent. Problem with any non...
Well out of interest I left them switched on, even though in principle I object. In truth the concept is pretty pathetic and laughable as: 1....
Not just road fuel but gas and electric. Both have jumped by something like £25 a month even though both were in credit. We've also just had to...
Well I finished my run and now doing a long scenario on Cane Creek, but I'll see if I can capture it next time I go on the route.
I did my occasional (about every 3 or 4 weeks) run on the Bakerloo earlier and I could swear the illumination from the headlights on the 1972...
Is it really that short? Yegods, did they give it to the intern to do as a practice exercise, or something? A route that long with one train...
No more Electrostars, please... :) Just completely unappealing. If they do the North London Line, set it in the 70's with 501's, re-open Broad...
Thanks Pacer. Hard to tell, but it really doesn't look modern city bright to me. The problem I have at the moment, is if I buy and it isn't up to...
Can be done via layers and/or additional DLC, just like happened with TVL and NTP. As the collection expands with one or two locos per route, so...
No reason why it shouldn't get another. And all the traction types stated by Elarthur have huge potential for layers on future routes, especially...
I am quite interested in Steam if DTG get it right but then I would like to see them move into the transition era to have the best of both worlds...
Think I will wait until it's going for a bargain in a sale, at least 50% off.
Just curious at this stage... How is the night lighting? Is the city awash with neon and ambient light or is it pitch black like Saxon England?
This is an ongoing thing with most TSW2 routes. I posted an example a few weeks ago of GWE in supposedly sunny daytime and the track was barely...
When I travelled over the route in 1986, the Canadian was still worked by F units!
Absolutely this. Where is the innovation? Are we to resign ourselves to another 5 years of standalone 40 or 50 mile routes from the big three...
Good suggestion. Modern(ish) era probably best as the lines have been considerably rationalised with the closure of coal mines etc. and much...
Densha de Go managed it quite a few years ago, indeed they had a dedicated version for Shinkansen. Part of the Sanyo Shink and the Hakata Minami...
Some good questions there, Bill. I would also add... Has the company stretched itself so much with Spirit Of Steam, this is why we are seeing...
This seems the likeliest explanation. Time budget for laying track then reality hits in as to how long all that will take to scenify. Been there,...
I have generally found the first step more than adequate to stop the train, entering a platform at 20 - 25 MPH. Very rarely I have had to use the...
Oh well. Let's hope 3DTS think about adding it to Run 8.
Two tone green for locos and blood and custard on coaching stock.
As someone who quite enjoys Peninsula Corridor, when not driving from a cab car, this could be quite a nice little route. LA to San Diego probably...
Would be a great route to see in TSW or at least 50 or 60 miles of it. Take the era back to when VIA were still running the Canadian via Banff....
Sounds like DTG botched the Simugraph parameters. If the settings are wrong, sadly as we know physics tend not to get fixed with the usual excuses...
Separate names with a comma.
