There is a difference between: - making a comment about trains, and that being perceived as patronising (and I am often guilty as charged on that...

So - I am hoping that the width of the cone is fine (but I don't know). The depth should be fine as it is for my needs - just a few metres -...

That's okay, I don't hold grudges. Your apology has been accepted. It's never too late to learn to learn to restrain your temper, and try to be...

Yeah - I think it is core. I have noticed stations without lights, at winter, on the German routes as well - at certain times of the day. Maybe...

So, I am saying "easy".... relatively speaking. If there was no light source at all, then you would have to start factoring in re-optimisation...

I have bought the Cathcart route and done a few runs. I can confirm that the "headlight" is indeed a light source - but it is incredibly weak...

There's really no need to be personal or offensive to people. If you have something to contribute regarding Cathcart Circle, or train lights or...

Okay - this looks better than everything we've seen online. Thanks for this. This is sincerely appreciated. I have decided to put my money...

GB headlights were introduced in the 1960s/70s for the purpose of being seen/marked - I completely agree. However, "not for seeing" does not mean...

Of course you can't see your own headlights from inside the cab - you never can, and you wouldn't want to because it would blind you and prevent...

Thanks for sharing this video - this illustrates my point perfectly. Two seconds in to the video you will see the front of the oncoming train on...

I think that the tea stain on the front of my shirt will wash out, but you might now owe me a keyboard.... ;-)

They could have postponed the release date if they wanted to, probably up to about 24 hours before release. They had about two weeks (in real...

I didn't catch the whole launch day stream tonight, but in the part that I watched Matt twice said that the front lights on the Class 314 were not...

Oddly enough, I actually agree with almost everything you said (I can barely look at the price on the front of magazines these days without...

Well thanks for the advice. I base most of what I say on my personal experience. Living around and working with railways has been part of my...

Yes - that would make sense. One example. But one counter example doesn't make a rule for everything. There have been commercial airliners in...

Yeah, I know. You can see the status of all the of simulated trains on the entire route via the map widget. But the CPU time to do this is...

Which experiences? Are you talking about track inspections..? Because, yes, I can imagine there being circumstances where drivers and crew have...

I agree with you, with "recently" being "the 1970s". I also agree with you that lights would be seen by track workers and members of the public -...

From memory, I don't remember hearing AWS.... .... however the stream was from a PS5, and the Cathcart route does look quite stunning on PS5...

In order to see a light, the light must be a light source, not just a bit of bright paint, or a dead "glow" texture. Otherwise you would not be...

I saw this and was (to be honest) quite tempted.... but buying this DLC at about £10 in a sale could encourage DTG to make more £15 paid-for...

Well, DTG did promise to bring realistically simulated steam engines to TSW, and now they have managed to honour that promise. All those worries...

It's even easier than that. All of the DLCs published by DTG are "DTG products", from the perspective of the customer, and from the perspective...

When it comes to counting "services", some of the DLCs do not count numbered services done under "Journey" mode. Also, none of the Training/Intro...

I believe that the effect you are experiencing is part of the design of the game, and is not a bug. It's not a particularly great design, but I...

Yes - I totally agree with you. Without wanting to digress too far, I would say that this issue does highlight a general concern/frustration held...

The ballast issue has already been settled as being due to the season/weather/time settings - it has nothing to do with platform. Regarding...

From a customer perspective, the DB BR 204 is a DTG product. It is 100% a DTG product, published by DTG and sold by DTG. You can direct your...

For me personally, this issue is a mild inconvenience, especially since I have almost all of the DLC.... For DTG - it represents lost sales,...

This route suggestion is so good, I would even be happy if they made this instead of the South London Network. Although I suspect that SLN and...

I would go further and say that lighting is more important than audio. That applies to all lighting.... but if it is a light that you actually...

It might be useful to compare it to TS2012.....? I actually find the environmental (and train) lighting in TS2012 to be far more ambitious than...

Yep - exactly. From a neuro-linguistic marketing perspective, the phrase "Don't Buy It" does actually internally include the phrase "Buy It",...

Thanks for confirming that the headlight issue is being considered. If a change is made (at whatever point), it would be greatly appreciated if...

I don't think this is quite true (or true at all.......). I have seen trains portal in on GWE...... at quite short range. TSW doesn't generally...

I reckon SimRail will take a fairly decent shot at being an authentic simulator, but there are a few areas (unknowns) where they could fall short,...

I think that is highly unlikely...... It is true that real Rail Vehicle Dynamics problems are actually quite complex beasts (modelling vibration...

South London Network in TS2012 is a phenomenal network route with about ten end-to-end routes.... and bringing it to TSW would be very very...

I think that they only cut out the light sources when they want to recover GPU time. So it would not matter how bright they are, or what your...

It's a bit unkind to refer to the coders and artists at DTG as "potatoes" - yes, sure it would take a lot of work for them to re-optimise HMA for...

Then you should let DTG know that you are not content with the products that DTG sold to you after DTG published them, whether or not the work was...

I agree with all of your post. I am very much looking forward to seeing Polish railways in a decent railway sim. I understand that there will...

I think it should be possible to derive an equation that will tell you excatly what mileage will be recorded for the player profile, the route and...

Yes, I think that tubefan1973 does need to re-surface this question. And many other issues need to be constantly re-surfaced as well, you...

Interesting grouping of routes. It seems that those that track the least (for you) are those with multiple slow speed sections, whereas those...

SimRail hasn't gone on sale yet, so we don't know whether they have any licenses for their rolling stock/stations yet. We have only seen very...

But the light is actually powerful enough, in the photo, to bounce off the platform and be seen by a human eye (or camera, in this case). The...

Well - the answer I would give to those debating it on other platforms would be a positive one that they would (hopefully) like, such as: "You...
