And there was me thinking the main appeal was surgically removing innocent bystanders' heads with my shotgun...:cool: My very first flight sim...
It wasn’t always the case. Back in the late 90’s there were virtually no train sims that used proper visuals and sounds, pretty much all - like...
Even worse at Trainsim dot com where I just had to refute someone referring to both TS and TSW as “arcade games”. Probably fell on stony ground as...
Well Run 8 did this with their western USA routes, so you can go over 400 miles from east to west if you like. Of course Run 8 has the advantage...
Re the MP15, can fully recommend this. Good loco for thrash as it isn’t that powerful, reminds me of one of those Irish single cab GM locos (121)....
I remember in my days as a Train Running Controller, when arranging with the signaller to regulate freight trains if these were nearly the length...
Apart from some on West Cornwall which are about 200m past the station, there’s a thread running on that at the moment. And yes some of the...
Great suggestion, also don't forget the Class 119 (Gloucester RCW) and Class 120 (Swindon built) Cross Country units. Both types used extensively...
Well as any updates to the game are funded by DLC, then either the core updates will have to be paid for (as happens with N3V and Trainz) which...
Unless included as a start point, you can’t. Current Scenario Planner is very limited. Hopefully the mythical new version 2.0 will be better…
Mind you and somewhat ironically in light of what I said earlier, can't remember the last time I fired up TS for a drive as opposed to TSW....
Most likely would be Cross City from Lichfield to Redditch, bearing in mind already done for TS. Or maybe Coventry to Wolves with the option of...
That in itself seems to vary. Sometimes you can stop 30m short and the action prompt appears, other times more especially with freight you need to...
Thanks for confirming that! I definitely knew about the 45's but logical the same restriction applied to 40's.
You can't skip a stop, unlike MSTS or TS where you over-run a station and keep going, eventually the missed stop drops off and is replaced by the...
It never hurts to ask...
One more from me... Are there any plans to fill the gaps in classic BR diesel traction, specifically:- Type 2 Class 24, 25, 26 or 27. The 25's...
Can’t see that happening, DTG and other parties have too much time and money invested in their classic franchise. That’s not to say TS couldn’t...
At the least, DTG should be investigating portals, maybe similar to the tunnel hotspots in Snowrunner, where you press to go to another map. An...
I believe there were a couple of low speed derailments on the throat caused by the long wheelbase bogies. Presumably not an issue for 40's though!
Yes I'm using FXAA, here is an example of what I mean: [ATTACH] I'll give TAA a try see if that helps. Edit: That fixed it, obviously another...
I suppose you could go to Kettering as a reasonable compromise. Depending what era the route was set in could include the short spur to Cohens...
Cam, out of interest will that also reduce or prevent the sparkles which seem to manifest off shiny surfaces (such as the railhead) in certain...
If I believe my old SIAM Inverness 1954 traffic simulation, another great stamping ground for the Black Five would be something like Inverness to...
This is something that has occurred to me with most of the routes, latest being SF Corridor which is really nicely done but couldn't help...
A Black Five would be ideal (or the BR Standard 73xxx equivalent). Could be seen all over the network though smart money would be Somerset and...
It is poor when that happens. Might be worth putting an entry in the Support forum and submitting a Helpdesk ticket to report the issue. There’s...
I have high hopes for Spirit Of Steam especially the opportunity for more complex routes with the possibility of local trip freight etc....
Slightly OT but maybe an avenue DTG could explore. Essentially a 3D version of SimSig or PC Rail, even the old SIAM games. Of course the downside...
Indeed. That's why I never got that excited over BML. In fact when I suggested a while back that DTG should concentrate on the diverse (in a train...
Thing is most of us probably play other games and not just train sims. I've mentioned Snowrunner before and quite often I'll turn aside to that...
Not to mention the missing lineside fencing in many places and the gap in the track at Redhill going off towards Reigate. Nevertheless it was a...
Not for the era set in, anyway. If it had been set back a few years, maybe Class 45's* on the GSW services coming and going, or a 40 on the...
The B1 bogies were great, really creaked and groaned. Mostly fitted under the earlier build Mark Ones, i.e. those with tungsten lighting, proper...
It would be a great idea, only issue being for base DLC you normally only get two train types, without layers from other routes. So for the...
Unlikely to happen though as DTG indicated a few weeks ago there are large barriers to overcome producing routes outside the current featured...
Want clunky and non mnemonic controls, try Run 8! The only issue I sometimes have with TSW controls is that sometimes they are over sensitive to...
Not assuming, more hoping as there are some good routes in the collection. Also the research and many of the assets are available to be ported...
And you can have the iconic A60 stock as a DLC, too.
Actually the hidden gem so far of my purchases has been the SF Peninsula Corridor, along with the two associated loco DLC's. It's a fun route to...
You would probably need an "X" or "W" icon on the hood too, highlight the very small signs such as on Peninsula Corridor where they come thick and...
One other item that ought to be scored is correct use of the warning horn. At the moment there is no penalty if you fail to sound the horn at a...
Licensing of the Unreal editors. Perceived complexity especially for casual users. DTG retaining control over what gets made for the sim - the...
Hee hee. After my brief soiree onto the Arosa I wasn't entirely happy, so will wait to rebuy when a more significant discount is offered. Having...
Depending on whether they have been given access to the route tools - or, rather, the people contracting for JT have - might be our best chance of...
No, it is a new programme being developed by IHH themselves.
Looks like this is a route where save spamming is vital, then!
Issue still appears to be present. Was enjoying the third Journey scenario (the one where the HEP fails and you have to terminate) last night...
Haven’t done the whole run yet as mentioned game crashed on the second Journey, but I liked the exit from SF all those freeways climbing here...
Like the Class 20 and US Baby Bullet!
