I love the route but I wouldn't hold your breath... SoS has only two locos and is the emptiest route imaginable, but there is still no sign of...
A experienced steam driver could (and still can) move a loco forward a couple of inches at a time, just like we can when parking a car. It is...
I think this route also shows that historic routes with lots of different local stations with individual character, goods sidings, signal cabins...
The bigger problem ( on PS4 at least ) is shadows suddenly appearing about 20 yards in front of the train. They seem particularly noticeable on...
There is also a Project Rio HST on the sharing platform that would be ideal. My favourite era is the early 1980s so 40s, 45s, 47s, 101s and HSTs...
Map and scenery are utterly fantastic. Timetable is very bad[EDITED - Jan - Language]. Scenario editor is missing several key locations...
I suspect they were going to include it but then left it unfinished. You wouldn't model yard tracks beyond the player boundaries unless you...
Dumbest idea on rails since Beeching.
I can't help thinking that when Sim Rail comes out on PS5 in 2023, DTG will really have to up their game to stay competitive.... We've now got to...
I've never understood why DTG haven't encouraged player mods. Racing games like Assetto Corsa are often kept alive by fan created content - it is...
Yes there is also no fencing or buildings, just random trees. It seems they forgot to finish the branch! Does ANYONE test these things before release?
I just set up a scenario with a Peak from Bromsgrove to Lichfield stopping at New Street and it routed me through one of the through lines at New...
Well that's good news at least. I wonder why there's only two in the scenario planner if other platforms are indeed programmed?
The problem with New Street is not so much that only two platforms are available in timetable mode but that only two platforms are available in...
If you think train simming is expensive don't go near model railways - these days in 00 it's about £200 for a loco, £60 for a coach and £40 for a...
In popular English humour it is, of course, a euphemism for something else... but as this is a family forum...
Has anyone had a go with scenario editor yet and tried to make it a bit busier? I'm tempted to try to do a c.1990 scenario (just before the juice...
My. biggest hope is that now we have New Street, WCML South (Brum to Euston) will follow as the next route. If that does happen I can forgive...
Sadly I expected them to produce an empty New Street and that's what we got... They could have done a 170 in both West Midlands and Cross Country...
What I don't understand is why DTG wasted time getting a Cadbury licence for chocolates rather than getting a CrossCountry or Avanti licence for...
Or perhaps more accurately, American lack of taste...
It will be interesting to see how many platforms are accessible at New Street in Scenario editor. All they said on the stream was "more than one"...
Just about everyone has raised this on the stream and DTG have just ignored them.
Bustling Birmingham? Empty Birmingham would be more accurate. The huge New Street complex with one train and no passengers on other platforms...
Regarding the errors, I think DTG need to employ some high quality railway modellers - such as guys from the DEMU group in the UK - to cast a...
It's all very well increasing prices by 20 per cent and 30 per cent, but salaries are going up by 2 per cent here in the UK. Large price rises for...
Both locos have run almost everywhere on the British rail network on railtours. The 50 has been on all the main GWR West of England services,...
The 33 is ready available but frustratingly only in green and you can't repaint it for some reason. I find it odd that the two British diesels...
I got it and really enjoyed it. If you play it in the snow the scenery issues aren't so obvious. You can run mixed trains and there is a sense of...
For me that's a reason to go back to the 1980s for the UK - corporate liveries with similar locos in much of England and Wales (HST, 08, 31,37,...
Yes, it's the best way to see Brum - from a distance (I'm from the West Midlands so I know it all too well...). Seriously, I just think...
Perhaps historic routes don't sell but they seem to generate YouTube video comment so it's difficult to say. I did wonder why more steam hasn't...
I want new locos but why not build on what you've got when planning routes? Set the cross city line in 1994 and you can have a new 323 EMU AND you...
Birmingham New Street with just one train will look ridiculous. They need to do a 170 or a Voyager. I don't understand why you can have 5-6 locos...
Yes the ridiculous shadow was there in the original TSW and two editions later it's still not fixed...
TSW3/ PS4 - I've downloaded the update and signed out and then back in but I still can't subscribe to new liveries and I'm still missing some I've...
Operating a train in scenario editor I am getting a false SPAD about three miles outside Middlesbrough (down service from Darlington). Lights are...
My existing scenarios and liveries don't work and I can't download any new ones or liveries for that matter. The content sharer also seems to...
That's right but they have been on regular summer charters in various parts of the country - especially on railfan trips. Interesting 66s were...
Are you required to switch off the spray when over level crossings, points and in stations? That is a crucial part of RHTT operation in real life....
Anyone know why the 66s are not enabled for passenger charter work? They have been used for charters in real life. That would add interest. I am...
I don't understand why the RHTT only layers onto one British modern route. Surely it could be on London-Brighton, Cathcart and GWML too? It would...
RHTT should have been in TSW3 given that there was no new British route on offer. And if you look at the spray it is also still unfinished...
Personally I don't know why DTG don't sell space on in-game poster boards to real world companies. It would provide variety to the experience...
Just loaded up Peninsula Corridor on TSW3 and there are only two listed Gallery Cab Car services from San Jose to San Francisco. (Timetable mode)...
Why weren't these in the original premium-priced product? I really think there should be laws against companies that sell an unfinished product...
The WSR timetable is basically a diesel gala so you get the chance to operate heritage diesels from other routes and DLCs such as the 31, 20 etc...
The most disappointing thing for me about TSW3 is the lack of new experiences - and the failure to build on the introduction of steam. Surely US...
Bugs, poor generic scenery, unrealistic operations, very limited choice of locos... more of a child's game than a simulation.
The MGNJR was a legendary UK route from the Midlands to Norwich and the East Coast resorts. The main line split at Melton Constable - the northern...
