A fear I expressed either earlier in this thread or one of the others when I had a lightbulb moment about the possible UK route. Despite my...

Very true. Also forgot to mention earlier as I was posting in a hurry, JT did some mods to the route with new scenery items from Crewe to Preston...

Like I said it was a novelty in SimRail for an hour or two, more so playing as the signaller. But after a while it was just sounding the horn and...

This is endemic across most TSW routes.

I wonder if they are trying to sort out the ongoing save game issues with the GWE remastered timetable before pushing the 387? Or, wild card here,...

Good suggestion and to be fair randomisation is something many of us have been asking for in normal timetable runs, to mix things up a bit....

So made it to Markinch, finishing up with a Scotrail 158, not a bad way to complete the voyage - here is the log: Work 1G05 0710 Eastbourne to...

Light bulb moment... then, groan! Ironically this is a route that I do keep coming back to, latest being finishing my "Length Of Britain" run....

TSW6 is in its dying weeks too, liable to be replaced by TSW7 very soon. If you want a multiplayer train game then Run 8 and SimRail are your go...

Might not be relevant, but depending on your video card, there is a setting you need to change to activate its full colour range, which I have...

Please enlighten me, as it's gone right over my poor old brain.

My obvious preference being A60 and C69 stock era, though would take it with S stock at a pinch. The issue might be what they use to represent the...

We still don’t know for certain it will be TSW7, let alone whether there will be TSW8 or DTG will even still be in business next year. And it’s...

They are among the most ghastly looking trains to appear on the UK rail network, they make the Class 142 and 143 Pacers look like stylish luxury...

Would gently disagree. The Class 185 quite possibly the worst UK train in TSW. Obviously DTG and Rivet can’t be blamed for the tiny cab window,...

Sadly fear you might be right. Of course, the 158 timetable is really Skyhooks to fix but again, I wager not much likelihood of that ever happening.

Yes previously mentioned the skewed AP. Most runs are giving in excess of 25k which is even more disproportionate than the Bakerloo Line. Compare...

WRT to the UK route, I’m just getting a vibe it could be North Wales Coast, or at least part of it. Sadly, like Riviera last year, that would...

Very true. Along with all the other save game fixes we get promised are, “With engineering”, but then never materialise.

Yes, this has got to be the most useless gimmick put in TSW to try and market the game. For the final leg of my cross Britain journey I attempted...

A couple of QOL updates that would be nice. Have your chosen weather on a normal timetable run (not Journey mode) carry forward when loading a...

I had issues hopping from Trent Valley to Crewe to Preston (dropped in blue void) then at Preston to the Shap route - hop worked but route devoid...

Can’t be sure but haven’t DTG already dismissed this idea when previously suggested. Partly on the grounds that people will moan when they wander...

I doubt DTG would remake NTP as a modern day route, there are plenty of other routes to make without duplicating what’s already in the sim. And...

This, plus it would have to be very low price given the route was always supposed to go to Crewe in the first place. And at the end of the day I...

Not sure why they did such a sparse timetable, in reality as I’ve mentioned before there is a very frequent service right up until the late...

Have to concur, the brakes feel no different to me - still put your nose on the windscreen at anything over 8% which means zero fine control at...

By the way, if anyone is looking for a quick way to clear the 100 MPH services in Tier 2 to move onto more interesting stuff, just grab the...

From what I've seen in TSC, the US steam locos are far more complex than the relatively simple UK machines, which DTG couldn't pull off properly....

That would be when The Tram comes out then… https://store.steampowered.com/app/4415050/The_Tram/ :D:D:D:cool:

It would be nice if they did a follow up pack similar to the 86/2 which added the 304 and the Liverpool line even if only to Runcorn. 304 would...

Indeed. Though without a full route to run on, it just wasn’t viable to do a Class 304 and the Class 101 DMU wouldn’t have seemed right, though...

I don’t think there was anything that called all stations on the main line. Leyland was served only by local trains to and from Manchester....

Have made it to Carlisle at 1544, via 1S69 from Crewe. Had to load the continuation at Preston from the Timetable menu as route hopping didn’t...

Class 26 definitely, but the Class 17 Claytons would be a real crowd pleaser too.

Fair enough... :)

And from WCML Crewe to Preston to WCML Over Shap at Preston. Route hop worked but on respawning into the Shap route, completely devoid of trains,...

Indeed! And regardless of the semantics around the spelling, bottom line is DTG are probably done with anything Caltrain.

Glad to hear it’s being looked at. Best advice at present is to regard the affected freights as being Class 9 (the old meaning of the designation)...

Backdated timetable for BML perhaps, but then did they run alongside the Electrostars?

SNCF diesels! My Lord’s, Hellfire etc. Bring it on. And my favourite early Corail stock too. Day One.

Sandpatch and Clinchfield too suffer from this syndrome - ah, only 5 miles to go, should be done by bedtime. 20 minutes later, 3 miles still to...

You are quite right - polite but pragmatic, while perhaps avoiding some of the more overt references like “fanbois” or “acolyte” (both carefully...

The one on Sherman Hill where you can just walk to the marker and finish, Sandbox Switching its called.

I had assumed it was automatic on the 805’s, same as the Pendolino. That said, I’m sure I hot both P and Ctrl-P to be sure and still got nothing back.

No, it’s the exterior of the stock even when all trains are stationary. A bit like the artefact we sometimes got on the HST’s way back on the OG GWE.

Preston to Crewe and Preston to Carlisle can be an issue (PC Steam) with AI trains in particular appearing blurred or smudged regardless of...

It means very few people are playing the game, compared to their core product TSW. The player numbers are very low by any standards and while they...

Problem is, prototype talk or discussion about other sims doesn’t really belong in GD. There’s a promising looking new tram game in the offing,...

It might be user error but a couple of times on my run from MKC to Crewe I lost all power running in AC mode. I could only recover by cycling the...
