Beautiful line. I went to the NYMR by train once and the ride from Boro to Goathland was slow but every bit as as enjoyable as the time I spent on...
You could get it by buying TS2017. Steam keys for older editions of TS can be found from resellers- caveat emptor but they're usually pocket...
There's an extensive post advocating just this somewhere IIRC. The Metro is an interesting mix of the new (well newish- the central section is...
It's not the cornucopia that was on offer from Humble a few years ago but a good deal. Another way into TS is to look for third party seller with...
Nothing I want actually but I'll join in: Once upon a time there was a family of three bears who lived in a dear little cottage in the woods....
Presuming you installed TS through Steam, either simply by buying it there or as a key from a third party seller which you activated in Steam,...
The brakes work differently on different trains and loco's. I'm going to describe things as if you're using the HUD as it's easy to visualise. On...
Yup. I've been to Middlebrough. It's a nice enough place but not where I'd expect the Rapture to start. [ATTACH]
Oh it's a laptop is it? Well if it's got a Thunderbolt port you could hook up an external GPU which can be anything up to a top of the range...
Intergrated graphics have come a long way and AMD's tend to be better than Intel's but I think it will still struggle even with the graphics...
Good advice when considering any route. I do live in the area and remain impressed. It's not perfect, the most noteable omissions to my mind are...
Just a note that W&T does not include all of the main S&DR route just the section between Shildon and Darlington. The line, the bit that was...
To be completely clear you can't buy older editions in Steam but you can buy Steam keys for older editions through third parties which you can...
Minis and laptops have the same kind of advantages (size, portability) and limitations (cooling and power mainly as a result of thier size) and...
Don't forget we live in a world where a food company feels it necessary to put a label on its product saying, "Warning: Contents will be hot after...
IRL wouldn't there be temporary warning signs out and and notice of work for drivers on the route? You wouldn't just find yourself bearing down on...
The line from Kings Cross to Edinburgh is covered by four routes. East Coast Main Line London-Peterborough (also included in the Great British...
If you particularly want TS2022 you might find a Steam key for it on a third party sellers site.
Is there a Milton Keynes route then?
The answer is, "yes but..." The lack of discrete GPU is the biggest issue. Intel's Iris integrated graphics system is a step up from previous...
The manual for the TS version has a few pages on signalling- might be useful. You should be able to get it from the route's page in Steam.
I got started with TS2016 (plus Weardale and Teesdale) so I'm with you there although I find Köln-Koblenz a bit fussy- there's a couple of...
It was still necessary to dial down most of the graphics settings but it ran smoothly enough to be perfectly playable most of the time even with...
You won't get a new system suitable for £300 that's much use for TS but if you're willing to buy second hand you should be able to find something....
Doomotron's advice is sound OP- if you buy TS Classic its routes and other content will be added to your collection just as if you had bought them...
What Reef says. Also goes if you buy any of the current editions or any future editions in the Steam store. A note in that case though- you will...
It, and the Bristol-Swansea extended version which is a seperate route rather than an expansion, are largely inessential but I think it does get...
The original South Wales Coastal route (Bristol-Cardiff) with Arriva branding was included with TS2017.
If the drive from your old system is still working you should be able to access and copy across your old Railwork directory (and any other files...
There were Virgin routes and rolling stock in TS but all were withdrawn from sale a few years ago when Virgin lost its franchise. I doubt they'd...
Based my my track record I'll probably buy it a couple of months before TSW4 is announced. :|
As Reef says Train Simulator has had new editions every year after which they are named but it's now called Train Simulator Classic. It gets a...
One of the scenarios that comes with Weardale and Teesdale is a run from Bishop Auckland up to Wearhead on a sunny day and the only thing wrong...
T. It's the same as loading/unloading or fuelling up (and, with Ctrl, raise/lower a water-scoop in loco's that have one) so it works hard. Most of...
There's a drive advice option which I found helpful when I was getting started.
Yes that was a few weeks ago- now it's the last one to show and Craigie-C's is already gone.
Looks interesting. Ypiranga is in Brazil I think.
The system as described is a decent start but there's a spare slot to add RAM so filling that would not be a bad idea. The SSD is a bit on the...
If anyone's wondering I bought Return to Maerdy and one of the Hawthorne Leslie saddle tank packs and those are the same locomotive as Invicible...
Thank you very much. I like your pic's too although I wonder if the first one is strictly eligible- it looks as if you've done some...
[IMG] Another picture, this time from Sherman Hill, that I made for a previous competition and like enough to offer again.
[IMG] I've used this picture from Soldier Summit in a previous competition- didn't win obviously but I quite like so giving it another chance.
Nevah! I did have a problem with the laptop coming out of hibernation driving the screen at the wrong resolution- maybe that had something to do...
Not to mention there's a merge with South Wales Coastal (which is recommended above quite rightly) available in the Workshop. I think Welsh...
Would that have been built at Metropolitan-Vickers? IIRC 18100, one of the GWR gas-turbine loco's, went there to be to be rebuilt as an 25KV...
Further to my previous comment I just tried the laptop again and TS started up with no issue. Dunno what changed.
Well you can just ride as a passenger in TSW- can't get much more casual than that!
I got started in TS using a laptop that was well below minimum spec' so it's probably worth a go but what are your spec's? (Having said that I...
[IMG] 60103 Flying Scotsman canters north-west from Rugby with a rail-tour with travellers on both the railway and the Oxford Canal enjoying the...
There's a detail missing at Allens West that I looked for- every time I've been past some wag has used white paint, Tip-Ex, tape or something and...
Separate names with a comma.
