What's ironic here are the comparisons to ETS, given how chock-full that is of unlockable content, effective "levels" - and above all miniaturized...
Fair point; but then, once a routine has been developed (a working EOTD, for example), it shouldn't take two years or anything like to adapt that...
Whatever this mystery UK route is, it was decided upon nearly a year ago. Nat was being understandably coy, because she knew good and well not...
I do think that there is a certain set of features which, if present in the real-world loco, must be modeled and reasonably accurate in any game...
But that would mean either having two versions of the Paddington-Reading run in competition with one another, set just a few years apart- or...
Well, there certainly were (and are) other options: Run-8, Zusi, Densha De Go, Derail Valley and Trainz just for starters.
AIUI, Joe recreated every Southern service that runs on the BML, and even added a couple of non-standard "diversions" of GWR trains just because...
I think what AP is referring to is the fact that the early FP40s with prime mover-powered HEP had to keep the huge 645 running at 900 rpm just to...
NP.
Hm! I had always assumed they were both on the rear.
This is why C-C six-axle, six-motor arrangements are considered preferable for road engines to B-B four axle setups (compare the EMD SD and GP...
The lovely thing about PZB is it never tells you what you've done wrong, it just kills your train.
It's probably easier to learn PZB running freight, since you don't have to simultaneously and separately be processing station stops and...
Considering that he did the stream on an XBox.....
I fear however that the release schedule is above Matt's paygrade. Paul came from EA, and I fear brought with him EA's attitude towards release...
Just got Arosa (not the livery pack), due to the sale discount plus the recent update. It's fun! Yes, the distant scenery is pretty TS1 (snow...
1) "Freight" and "Passenger" are for the driving cab, and mean that that brake stand has control of the system. "The "Lap" settings are for...
Necro much?
While I understand that it is a big technical challenge for DTG to incorporate a fully-functional, scrolling EBuLa system on German trains, it...
IRL, drivers use landmarks as braking points etc ("15% brakes at Block Signal A214" or "Start the approach into Tadcaster at the old mill") I...
In all seriousness, these boards need to be re-organized into a General forum with separate sub-forums for platform-specific issues.
And sound looping. Don't forget the sound looping.
I don't think that's necessarily the case. What we aren't going to see is the sort of radical course change that never was going to happen - DTG...
I'm waiting for The Who's Old Engine Driver DLC (https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/who/aquickonewhilehesaway.html)
It’s implemented in TSW on the Class 66
On a loco like a Gronk - which isn't very big - much easier to mount the traction motors on one axle and link the other wheels with connecting...
They're right there, hard to miss (in fact, you can't help but read them on German routes, since at any distance they resemble speedboards).
There are trackside mileposts every 1/10th mile on US and UK routes, and every 200 m on European routes. Why add another gadget to the cab when...
Not necessarily. It's entirely likely that it's been in production for months, but the announcement has been held up for whatever reason - and...
Nota bene: NORAC (Northeast Operating Rules Advisory Committee) rules dominate in the US east of the Mississippi (i.e. CSX and NS), but the...
However, shutting down HEP ought to kill the lighting and A/C in the coaches, but apparently it doesn't.
It would only be possible with an AI fireman. No one person can run the engine and the boiler simultaneously, but there is no prospect of...
I get what you're saying, Sam- but surely just about every new player starts with the base game and the three bundled routes? Meanwhile, buyers...
I would be amazed if they don't. Same trains, same TOC.
Thomas of course is the E2. Gordon is the A3 (but GNR, not LNER)*. The Black 5 is Henry (after his rebuilding). Pip and Emma are the power cars...
The Boston section of the NEC is now owned directly by Amtrak, but it’s former Conrail line and I believe the Conrail sections of the CSX or...
Because DTG can't be seen to endorse monkeying around with the .ini file. Same reason they can't be seen to endorse mods or the unofficial editor.
Ego contraversia
Yes. The older MSB/RSN version isn't LD-compatible, and the HHL version strikes me as likely to become an orphan, since it's a reasonable...
ACS-64 50th Anniversary Clinchfield, Dresden and Brighton are the three best routes for TSW yet published; SEHS is apparently the most popular....
More specifically, NTP is to date the only loco-hauled passenger route (I'm counting WSR as a collection of railtours, not a genuine passenger...
It also seems they have AC traction motors, which would contribute to peppy acceleration.
I'm also disappointed in the magnificent Clinchfield not even making the Top 10 among lines released this year, trailing the dismal Arosa and...
Speaking as one who knows a little bit about trials, that is exactly wrong. It is precisely what 12 of I or you think of a situation which...
US in-cab signal systems are borked across TSW.
Those with more particular model knowledge can correct me, but given that the 465 tops out at 75 mph it may be geared for more aggressive...
After all, we'd all be happy to pay $200 for a route, right?
There's pretty much no passenger route in Britain any more that isn't run by EMUs. But they aren't all bloody Electrostars!
And in some cases less functionality than older ones: for example, all the way back in 2017 with CSX-HH we got functioning train length counters...
Yes, because without a ringing bell pedestrians would never notice an approaching quarter-million pounds of locomotive, diesels roaring, ground...
