Yes, you can set 'Next signal HUD' on, but 'Next signal aspect' off. The signal will just show as a grey blob in the HUD. Without any HUD signal...
Next signal aspect is for babies.
Graphical glitches notwithstanding, the 47 be weak. It wouldn't surprise me if there was a bug in the Simugraph, but it makes no sense at all that...
Don't forget this too:
Yes, this would be a very nice feature: being able to access the manual for each route directly on your console.
One of the most valuable things we could do to help DTG introduce steam to the game is to make suggestions about how the control system might...
The 101 is undoubtedly the hardest train in the game to drive well. It takes a good deal of practice to make smooth, fast gear changes. Watch the...
Oh well, I had a good run! In a way, I almost wanted to be caught. It's a cry for help.
You make a good general point about timings on all routes in TSW. The time at which you spawn in the cab isn't early enough to walk to to the...
GWE passengers love the depot. They will happily stay on the train while you park it up and lock the shed for the night. In the morning you can...
I really like Tees Valley. It's my favourite route after GWE. There's a great mix of industrial versus rural scenery, and a good balance of...
As a very general guide, if you see a green anywhere in the stack, you're good to go. If you see a solid yellow, slow down and prepare to stop at...
No sarcasm intended. The points you mentioned are all being worked on, and will be fixed in time; if you find the quality of the game unacceptable...
You're in luck; the senior producer of TSW is a huge Raildriver fan, and has said on many occasions that he shall not rest, nor shall his keyboard...
It has been mooted from time to time. However, VR games are still in their infancy. It's a challenge to design a user interface for VR games that...
If you switch to the external free camera and position it just in front of the windscreen in line with the driver, you get a nice 'train's-eye...
Is there cross-play with PC/Xbox players?
If I didn't already know what a warm, friendly, intelligent, and sensible group of people railfans are, I certainly wouldn't get that impression...
I sympathise with your experience with the support staff, but it sounds as though your credibility with them has reached something of a low point,...
When you shut down the loco cab before changing ends, did you put the brake handle to 'Handle Off' and the cutout valve to 'Cut Out'? If you don't...
All perfectly fair points. DTG is constantly improving and polishing the game, but we're all aware there is still plenty of room for improvement....
This is correct. The Class 43 is the best train. And welcome to TSW!
Don't worry, NPCs aren't harmed when hit by trains. If you're incautious enough to be hit by one yourself, you'll know it passes straight through...
Just for reference, pressing the Xbox button on the Xbox doesn't pause the game either. I don't think there is a universal standard about this;...
I'm sympathetic to all ideas which make TSW more immersive and realistic as a simulation of railway operations. The problem is, where do you stop?...
'Unlocking' things has been ruled out, because it would annoy the simulator enthusiasts too much. There's always some degree of tension between...
Can't say I've noticed this myself, because I'm usually inside the train, but I believe it. My guess would be that the intensity of the light...
I think the 166 is hard-limited to 90mph. Even downhill with a following wind and the throttle wide open it won't exceed this figure (unless...
The speed limit is on the HUD, yes. It's not immediately apparent that this is the 'indicated' speed you have to reach. In fact, cautious drivers...
There are a few of these. For example, 2P71 stops at Maidenhead, Slough, H&H, Southall, and Ealing Broadway.
The brakes are a little unnerving. The tiniest available amount of braking does nothing for quite a while, and then suddenly stops the train on a...
There's an unfortunate timing of events in this tutorial. If you're even slightly hesitant about getting on the power when the game tells you to,...
Don't worry about it. There are almost innumerable things that can cause the F40PH not to move. Its natural state is utter immobility. (Probably...
I've had the same problem on the Xbox from time to time, though not recently. I was never able to save again until I completed the scenario or...
As a Cornishman, and having been up and down that line all my life, I can confirm that Brunel's bridge, and the vertiginous river crossing,...
It's certainly the best-selling console train simulator. As to what percentage of TSW sales are console rather than PC, we don't know, but my...
For relaxation, the 166. For a challenge, the 101. For agricultural simplicity, the 66. For brute power and thrash, the 45. (For 'Myst'-level...
Some ideas about how free roam might work in terms of game mechanics: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/thoughts-on-tsw-2020.17191/#post-87940
From the brake indicator on your HUD it doesn't look like the brakes are at 85%. The mass of the heavy oil trains is enormous, so it does take a...
I'm stuck even earlier in this scenario. Having shut down the loco cab and changed ends at San Jose, I get into the cab car, throw the three main...
...said every feature request ever. Seriously, I'm sure all these things are doable; it's a question of priorities. Taking advantage of the extra...
Most of the enhancements in TSW 2020 are directed at new players, so they don't make much difference if you're already used to the game—but I...
I think this is a very fair and accurate assessment. It's also probably true of every games company ever (heck, every software company). It's...
I've found the stop timings for the 166 to be pretty much bang on. If you accelerate at full whack out of the station straight up to line speed...
If DTG were deliberately delaying the release of the editor, to make more money on their own DLCs, then they'd be idiots. They're not idiots....
Service mode is the heart of TSW. If you've missed that, you've missed the whole thing! Think of scenarios as being the tutorials that show you...
The joy of conversation? Posting a bug on the forum has precisely no effect. Instead, you should report it via the official support channels....
Since most of the complaints on the forum are about DTG releasing stuff too early, before all the bugs have been fixed, isn't there a certain...
I think you can assume that DTG knows TSW fans are passionate, and that the developers read everything posted on the forum. All the bugs and...
It's usually the same thing; a Bluetooth keyboard comes with a little USB transceiver widget that plugs into your console.
