This excuse is smoke and mirrors I'm afraid. It's still a labour resource that costs money. If there's a web development team that has time to do...

Yes, there's a few services you can't complete. I found a couple and since then have not done any 101 services on NTP:...

Did a couple of 166 services on GWE earlier today and just switched on to see and mastery does appear to be registering the two services. On Xbox.

I'm actually a bit embarrassed for DTG on this one. It seems to be a failure looking through these messages. I can only hope some lessons will be...

But the amount of action points given does depend on skill that is learned by experience. Stopping accuracy, keeping to the speed limit etc. So an...

Playing devil's advocate here but isn't the difficulty relatively the same if you don't have the experience gained from those previous levels?

Might try that then. Is there any useful stuff on DTL that I'm likely to miss by not being logged in? I've always used it, so not sure what...

Yep. Those that don't want to see it can't switch it off and those that do want to see it can't switch it on.

You might have a point. It's well known that us console untermensch do love a hot air balloon. Coincidence? I think not.

Maybe Level 42 will be playing at the music festival.

It's odd that I can see the GWE diorama and overlay but can't see the NTP ones. I don't have LIRR or MSB. I'd expect to see neither or both. XBox BTW.

It was a joke to be fair.

I just asked a simple question really. Would prefer not to see it, but like I've said, I can ignore it. Not annoyed in the slightest.

I guess that might cause problems for those that do want to use it?

I wonder if there's any music at the music festival. Perhaps someone could let me know when they are suitably qualified?

That's why I asked if it could be turned off? I'm not suggesting others should be deprived of it, just that there might be a choice. And whilst...

Pay them for the privilege even! I'm enjoying the chip based nature of this thread.

Agreed. I see the usual joy boys are out in force downvoting those that dare criticise the almighty DTG.

A clumsy analogy but I'll run with it. When I'm paying for the fish and chips, I'll damn well have them as I wish and any restaurant that talks to...

You're right. My expectations are too high.

Yeah, I can ignore it but I'd prefer to turn it off. I don't want to see the stats page, especially as it shows routes I don't even have. How...

It looks like the Tier 1 stuff is just about doing things, not necessarily doing them well. Isn't "mastery" about doing things to a high standard?

I thought they'd changed "tutorials" to "training" in TSW2020 so not sure why mastery still calls it tutorial?

Can this be switched off?

Yes. Odd is the word. So it's a gimmick that no one wanted and it doesn't work very well and is not retrospective. That is so DTG! Hilarious!

I can't either. Maybe restart the game?

For real bruv? Oh my days.

So I have the update and there's an intro screen that says what you have to do to unlock stuff but I think I've pretty much done most of them....

I'm holding out for the watching the grass grow mode.

It depends on how much knowledge or interest you have. I'm sure if you ask someone that has neither, they would think they were all the same. Bit...

Well, you could argue they are the same because they are all locomotives and I understand that. Aren't all locomotives a variation of the same...

No they are not. Only 50 class 50s were made. More powerful than a 47. For many years after the Deltics were withdrawn, they were the only 100mph...

I did that not long after I got it. Certainly an experience. I found the trains passing close to me quite a thrill.

More gimmicks. Have you fixed the Class 47 performance on console yet? How about those services you can't finish on NTP?

We obviously all have different standards of acceptability. The only issue I have with the graphics is the shadow draw distance. Apart from that,...

I don't take any pleasure in writing that either. The potential of the game is immense but it's clear to me that DTG's focus is form and not...

I've stopped playing it if I'm honest. Tired of the bugs and DTG's apparent indifference to them.

Yes, it's full of bugs and the 47 problem is a common subject on these forums and DTG don't seem to care about fixing them anytime soon. I...

I assume you were not using the brake and the throttle at the same time?

Yes, both power cars work together from one cab.

I agree. Much as I love the variety of 70s/80s/90s traction, happy to see a modern route. Prefer locomotives though so 67/68/70 would be welcome.

A chance to use the 33 too of course. Class 50s out of Waterloo would be nice.

Some will care and others won't but the choice should be left to the user in my opinion just as it would if it was your model railway.

It's an interesting point. I said in a message a few months ago that NTP/TVL doesn't have to necessarily stick to 1983/1989. I'm sure there's a...

Regional Railways may have existed as a "department" of British Rail in 1982 but it didn't have a special livery until much later. Fleet "pools"...

That livery didn't exist in 1983 I'm afraid.

From a geographical perspective, we've had two northern England DLCs, there's also a Londoncentric GWE and south west England WSR, so I'd like to...

If that is what is happening, perhaps it would be better to actually provide some response to the dissatisfied customers rather than laugh about...

I noticed that. Or is it a famous landmark, faithfully reproduced?!
