I am actually beginning to wonder if this is really a good investment of my £24.99 and I wouldn't be better off just buying the Jubilee and 8F for...

Let’s be realistic here, Ireland hasn’t had much love in any of the sims, other than a small amount of payware for MSTS and a bit of freeware....

Probably not due to licensing and security concerns, ergo BAA unlikely to give permission to reproduce the section of route on their inffrastructure.

Not yet. I must try it.

Well - and I know this is off topic for the TSW board - but I bought Maerdy earlier this afternoon and am thoroughly enjoying it. At the moment...

I reckon Bristol Local. Or maybe Edinburgh to Dundee.

From the top of my head then... 1. Where are the track sounds? Should be solid jointed track. Nothing in evidence from what I saw on the Jubilee...

I'm ashamed to admit I never got round to buying this. Just rectified this situation, look forward to having a play later. As an aside I recall...

Someone suggested a few days ago that Maerdy from TSC would go well in TSW and I'm inclined to agree (maybe a bit more route to go with it).

Spirit Of Steam - Add the Liverpool Riverside branch. Disused Stations: Liverpool Riverside Station (disused-stations.org.uk) Disused Stations:...

Come on Matt, you know you want to! I still remember those activities on Thames Mersey too, which had you working a through service from Southport...

On GWE I got an award for placing a poster at West Ealing. The only thing is… At the time I was passing by on the Up Main at 95 MPH which doesn’t...

I can see they probably wanted the Jubilee to coincide with upcoming UK events but agree the 8F was a strange choice for the second loco. In GWR...

If it gives you a Steam code, probably not.

I always thought this was just to cover the fact with a long train it takes a few seconds to reload the new view.

I also suggest it is a mistake to show the complete route in the stream. It removes the mystery of discovery that a new player will find. It also...

I suggested something broadly on these lines in one of the other threads, in the absence of the intelligent from AI or the ability to manually...

This isn’t really a bug, more a missing feature. Has been raised numerous times in the various main boards and Suggestions forums but to date no...

Well I guess you could always have all the activities at night and they wouldn’t notice the wires…

Yes I hope this is just a bit of redirect on DTG’s part. As much as I find the route itself a bit underwhelming it should at a minimum get a Black...

I’m guessing there is a parallel here with Run 8, where if you don’t own all the rather extensive collection of cars trains still appear but with...

100% want this with maybe part of the Waterloo to Exeter line on which to run it.

Fully support the OP. In fact station dwell time could be randomised, if you're running late and everyone has boarded, let's close the doors and...

Eeek. I just tried the demo for 5 minutes and that is fiendish. Can't imagine how complex the full version gets later in the day!

Well that's something that would need to be considered at the planning stage, but the eras are not that far apart as opposed to trying to merge a...

135 sounds a lot but don't forget that probably includes short ECS moves at Lime Street to and from Edge Hill, similar light engine movements plus...

Then you extend NTP from Leeds to York, link that in and you have a substantial Northern Powerhouse network! And while I'm never going to be a...

Well we definitely need a mixed traffic loco and an example of whatever was used for shunting the goods yards and stock sidings. Someone posted...

With regard to gradients, yes there are some as the first thing I did when the route was announced was dig out my Ian Allan profile book for a...

At the moment no, but I am of the view it should be to properly address some of the incomplete aspects, at least bring it to the level of steam...

Problem with Flying Scotsman or any A3 (or A4) is that it has a relatively limited application - i.e. top link passenger services. The Jubilee...

Exactly what I said unless of course they are planning a surprise...

Very apparent watching the stream how intrusive the safety valve noise is. They had to turn the volume down and move the viewpoint to half way...

I would support this as driving NTP with steam, even in its 1980’s era depiction, would be far more enjoyable than dreary Crewe to Liverpool. Give...

Yes but the problem is, with few third parties and no official route builder, as I noted earlier if Rivet build it then no one else is going to....

Indeed, I can accept the sparse vegetation as generally at this time the lineside was kept fairly clear of trees and shrubs. But continuing to...

This. It’s not like this is the first ever computer simulation of steam. If the experience can’t at least equal the default in MSTS, TSC or Trainz...

It has been a requirement to fence off UK railways since they were first conceived in the 1820’s, so yes it is quite right that a route set in the...

Quite surprised to see them on an urban route! My preference would be a rural or secondary line, just would be a nice change when driving in Germany.

I'm really beginning to wonder now if this is actually ready for prime time. We have the fireman issues, Matt seems to confirm the regulator and...

Indeed. My one regret with Run 8 is that they haven't included some older F units which would be great fun all the way from Fresno to Seligman or...

Well it would be an interesting possibility. The problem as things stand is that (so far as we know) every train runs to a set path and a...

As I said above, they are already talking about farming it off to the Pres Crew before it's even out!

One other quick thought off at a tangent from AI firemen and buffet cars. I caught the run through of the various scenarios and see there is...

Well we can debate this until blue in the face, but I stand on my point that if they were going to do steam properly then the time, financial and...

No, not really Alex. Because otherwise there goes the best chance of getting a decent stab at one of the UK's if not the world's most iconic and...

As has been said before, the people working on 3D models or artwork are not necessarily the ones doing the coding. Let's not rose tint this....

Perhaps they will do Stourbridge Junction to Town with the Parry People Mover. Probably still make a mess of that though.

Reminds me of the old film Beetlejuice, when the deceased couple were travelling through the afterlife admin areas (!) and they passed a room set...

Though as I commented previously Gary, they have had months if not a year or two of lead in time to get the firing aspect - whether AI or player...
