Train Simulator uses an old unsupported game engine which is never going to be upated to current standards and, as such, is at something of a...

Something to consider might be what else you'd be running on the system. No matter what CPU and GPU you have TS is only going to use two cores...

Ha ha. The next thing could be a post-Beeching branch line- a scenic mat too rough to put track on and a few footpath signs.

If it had been possible to add to TS's features, upgrade the graphics to TSW's level and maintain backwards compatibility Dovetail would surely...

Is the Corris Railway even a mile long? Doncaster Works is just the Works isn't it? (Haven't got either so these aren't recommendations.)

Yes indeed although it's easy enough to use any loco' in Quick Drive and the loco's are used in some Workshop scenarios for other routes.

Blimey- New Street looks a lot sharper than it did in my day! A right hole in the ground it was.

You're very welcome. TSW looks great and if I had the hardware (and saw it cheap!) I'd be tempted to get it, especially with that Pennine route...

Someone else will be able to come up with numbers and detailed advice but I can describe my own system and experience. My system runs Windows 7...

Oh dear- that's going to limit upgrade options. If you're lucky you might have an expansion slot but likely as not your only option will be to...

She makes it clear that she's buying for her husband- the "he" being referred to.

Also be sure that your system has enough power available and room for the card. That may sound pretty basic but some budget systems, in spite of...

I have TS running on two laptops with roughly similar i5 processors but one has your common-or-garden Intel HD integrated graphics while the other...

There's an awful lot of talk on the Steam TS forum about this. It seems unlikely that Dovetail will be making any Australian routes partly...

That would actually be less expensive than it sounds. If you're particularly smitten by the WSR have a look at the Train Simulator version's...

[IMG] On a clear, cold winter morning an EE type 3, later Class 37, crosses Lands Viaduct (in The Weardale and Teedale Network in the '60s) with...

[IMG] The sun is already low as a railtour crosses Ribblehead Viaduct (in the Settle-Carlisle route of course) casting long shadows in...

Well that was my point. Just found mention that the QJ's grate was 6.8 square metres which, without getting a calculator out, sounds like 73...

I put in a word for the Jitong line in the Train Simulator pages in Steam a few years ago. I like a kettle, though am more of a modern traction...

25% reverser seems high for that speed. Granted she's LNER but there's a notice next to the reverser in V2 Green Arrow telling drivers to have...

Welcome to the other support group. :-) I had a train simulator on my Amstrad CPC in days of yore. It did have graphics (how does a text only...

You make a good point there actually. The W+T already covers a lot of route miles and perhaps extending it much would push the limits of what TS...

Oh yes there's that too but I've certainly had moments when I finished scenarios with points to register and they weren't. They don't sem to...

This reminds me that the first time there was a water theme I won the competition. Was my picture ever used for anything? If it was I missed it.

That's true- furthermore I find the Simple controls too simple and no easier to use than the Expert controls. I've also noticed I getting nul...

As discussed elsewhere there was a Clayton available from Iron Horse so presumably Dovetail has it and may rerelease it at some point as it did...

Joyous news. As someone else who has to compromise on the graphics I found the thing to do was to start with everything low, nudge settings up...

The Robinson O4 would be another suitable loco'. IIRC, although some locomotives were requisitioned the ROD favoured a policy of standardisation....

I went for a ride on the Weardale Railway a couple of weekends ago in a Class 122 now resplendent in green. It was the first time I've ridden in...

There's plenty of content in the base game as is evident from the description. If you're into trains TS is the best thing going. If you're not...

You will always get more for your money with a desktop machine than a laptop and, since you don't mention any spec's, it's impossible to say much...

I can't speak from experience but this does crop up on the Steam forums now and then and the usual solution is to ensure that your graphics...

It would be remiss of me not to suggest you add Darlington Railway Centre and Museum (a.k.a. Darlington Head of Steam Museum) to the list of...

The Trust inherited the V4 project from somewhere else and have a few parts including a stack of tyres but is a long way from doing any work on it...

Started the same way with TS2016. Terribly slow but, if the choice is between that and nothing, I'll take it. Welcome aboard.

[IMG] A Class 66 draws hoppers across Ribblehead Viaduct on the Settle-Carlisle line while shepherds eye the red morning sky with concern. (This...

[IMG] A V2 on a milk train, perhaps diverted from the main line, crosses the River Wear approaching Bishop Auckland as the Sun clambers above the...

A couple of suggestions: If you aren't logged in and just click on Recent Posts to see what's being said the only way to see what a comment is...

Thursday. Voting closes on Friday. You make a perfectly good point though- and who's downvoting?

I have TS installed on a laptop with 3GB and ye bog-standard integrated graphics more as an experiment than any other purpose. It's pretty flakey...

Kind of obvious but it may have been overlooked- Workshop scenarios will be listed in the standard tab if they are standard scenarios. They might...

Well someone else will chip in no doubt but you could certaily do worse. Do you have a GPU?

I had the great pleasure of riding on this beautiful line to and from an event on the NYMR- it would make a charming DLC for TSW or TS (TS for my...

So TS starts OK, you click the drive menu, choose a scenario, click start and that's when you get the crash? Invariably? Have you tried the...

You should have both versions. If you usually start TS by clicking a desktop shortcut you won't notice a difference because that's still linked...

Never mind then.

Don't mean to nitpick but have you got TSW or TS (Train Simulator) which are separate, distinctly different and entirely incompatible programs?

Fair enough.

Regarding the information after "Is there anything I can do to prepare for TS2019 64-bit?" Starting TS recently Steam popped up an admin' window...
