Got me thinking about the "exciting" thing they briefly mentioned in passing about Blackpool, maybe they *have* got a set of Mk1s to go with it......
I don’t really agree that the game is in a downward spiral - it certainly HAS been, but clearly the discontent has been heard because we are also...
I reckon the ought to carry on bringing Birmingham to life, they did such an excellent job with Birmingham-Crewe - such an atmospheric place to...
Thoroughly enjoyed watching the stream this morning - absolutely can't wait for this route! They've done such a brilliant job capturing the whole...
That's made my day ! Totally day one, can't wait!
That’s a new thing on Birmingham-Crewe too (PC/Steam) - only started seeing it with the recent patch.
I guess finishing off Toton for the MML update is a bit optimistic, but have to say a new timetable and the 70 will get me back into that line for...
True, I was just speculating/hoping on the Crewe-Shrewsbury rumour and a possible new loco that would fit that. I'd love to see a 68 too, and my...
If the Crewe-Shrewsbury route rumours are true the 67 would be ideal for that. Certainly a day one purchase for me - highly underrated locos IMHO
Yeah, the timetables need livening up a bit and a bit of scenery TLC. Both routes are firmly in the “5 out of 10, must try harder” box for me, sadly.
Might take a punt on the Nuclear 20 then, just for the flasks that’ll layer on to Preston-Crewe.
Best bit for me about Crewe-Shrewsbury is that it opens up the possibility of TfW class 67 services…
Ah... misunderstood you - I read it as "no timetable" (as in, no other services running and a "dead" route) - ignore me, just having a senior...
I just go to timetable mode on foot at Crewe or Stafford or wherever, then spawn an 86+coaches wherever it'll let me, then set a path to wherever...
Good point, that would look pretty epic too!
Now THAT is an eye-catching livery! Maybe it just triggers nostalgia for BR Blue, but to my eyes it’s excellent. Shame we won’t see it until...
Yeah, just re-ran it... got to the signal (CE107) just as it turned amber this time - decided to stop anyway to see if I could get going again....
Nah, 805. Never had it happen before.
Another weird one - overlooking the black rectangles I just drove 1D87 from Stafford to Crewe. Got to the carriage sidings and was briefly held at...
Just tried an 805 run and the cab is full of black rectangles on the buttons. This is on a clean rebooted PC (Steam). Words fail me :(:(:(
I didn’t realise we could revert patches … that’s a handy thing to know, I’ll give it a try in a bit, thanks for the idea ! :)
Same on PC/Steam too. At first I thought it was down to memory usage so I rebooted the PC and ran the game without any of the other usual guff I...
Biggest difference for me (on PC) is the removal of the static stock, most notably at Crewe. In the first version of the DLC the old Crewe Diesel...
That assumes that they could hire someone to take the job on :D One look at this forum by a prospective dev would be enough to scream “run away!” :D
The optimist in me says that DTG will issue stricter performance and implementation guidelines for future route developments, since, as you say,...
Seems like a daft idea to me. Who would stump up the cash to buy out a broken product and spend months without a revenue stream while it’s being...
It’s likely that the core has moved on since the patches from ATS and JT were issued to DTG. There’s no point in them testing those because the...
Nah, twice the maintenance effort - only viable with a decent sized team of in-house devs, which DTG clearly don’t have (if they did, the testing...
I live in the vain hope that DTG will realise that "enough is enough" as far as new features are concerned with this current platform. It seems to...
Honestly, the whingeing on this forum is just off the scale. Thoroughly entertaining :D:D:D
Well, if they do throw in the towel I hope they open-source everything so we can fix it ourselves :D:D:D
Yeah, something about that line just doesn't quite tick the boxes for me. Maybe it's the long straights and flat countryside? Can't say for sure,...
Based on the Season of Reveals / Thomas debacle I'm avoiding all speculation and just chomping through the popcorn while repeating a "don't even...
I absolutely hate the GBR livery. Too much flag waving in the world right now.
I suspect there’s more to this than meets the eye - like the patch being issued by JT and DTG then sitting on it because it’s on a build that’s...
What a fascinating thread! You've inspired me to dust off the UE4 book and have another go myself! I made a start on Workington ages ago, but got...
Carlisle-Preston Birmingham-Crewe Blackpool Branches sometimes a bit of Riviera or Cardiff. Had a great blast from Leeds to Manchester in the 45...
25/9s would fit right in at Kingmoor in 1986 too…
Damn this thread - I can't drive a route now without looking for donkeys :D:D:D
That’s a good shout :)
Bit of a stretch, but the Swindon-Bristol-Gloucester triangle would be amazing. Even better if they could tack Westbury on the side… Or how...
I always associated those winged seats with the non-air on stock, but it seems you are right -...
Ah yeah, there was an old mine just out of Aspatria I think? There used to be an old slag bank just out of Maryport too, next to some old disused...
Ahhh the memories! Loving the corridor coaches, I’d all but forgotten there even were aircon versions. Happy days when they’d show up with a...
Yeah I was thinking out by Crosby/Bullgill mebbe - hard to tell out of context !
Can’t wait to relive the glory days of a bouncy 108 clacking over the joints all the way to Carlisle and back. I love driving the 101 to Morecambe...
Interesting idea - one to watch. Wonder if he'll consider building out the Cardiff routes a bit, that'd definitely get my attention!
:D:D:D I’ve been here coming on 5 years now, and the pattern is clear: “new” version every year - everyone moans, I get the free version and...
Back in my day (late 70s-early 80s) it was roughly hourly to Whitehaven with every other service to Barrow IIRC. I only did the “Long Route” South...
I’m wondering what West Cumbrian collectibles they will come up with… patties and scraps gets my vote :D:D:D
