But not good enough. I want a personal apology, sent by post, on deckle-edged notepaper, signed by all the team. And a bouquet of flowers.
When I'm shunting and switching, I regard the free camera as my 'driver's mate', who would no doubt in real life be running up and down changing...
And there are things you can do with the keyboard that can't be done at all without it: turning off HUD, turning off the cursor dot, low horn...
The two things I would love to see made possible on the controller are the low horn tone, and brake lap setting. I would happily give up, say,...
Yes, I take that point, and it's interesting to hear a different perspective. A two-hour straight shot isn't the same as two one-hour, or four...
To me, the shorter route would be more interesting, for the same amount of modelling effort. I mean, we could have a 100-mile route through empty...
That is a common gripe, indeed, but I don't really think it's justified. TSW route lengths seem about right to me. Of course, I wouldn't mind them...
That's not how any of this works! That must be a bug.
This is great! Thanks a lot!
Now that TSW has been out for a while, it's great to see existing routes getting updates which add new locos and services (such as the Heavy...
I think in TSW 2020 the new scoring system will penalise you for breaking speed limits.
It's not difficult in principle to imagine a multiplayer mode where each player takes over a different train on the timetable. I'm not sure how...
Yes, I think we all sort of intuitively understand what's meant by 'free roam'. I didn't put the original question very clearly. What we're trying...
I understand that. I'm just trying to get an idea of how the game would play while you're doing this. Are you saying you'd be free to pass signals...
Called it.
But how would that work? I mean, you need signals and points to be set for you to go a certain way, but what happens to AI trains then? Suppose I...
Yes, I was pondering this again last night and wondered if Journey Mode is a set of 'chained' services, representing a single driver's shift...
It's been said elsewhere, but there's no technical limit on the size of routes in TSW. The engine only loads the tiles next to you, so a 1000-mile...
Something tells me we're going to see a TSW route covering the Bay Area very soon!
And it would cost £150, which would provoke howls of fury.
Yes, I've heard that too. I assume it's a sample looping glitch.
You can also couple and uncouple wagons using the free camera. That's a nice time-saver.
What's 'Free Roam'?
Some ideas posted on another thread.
I like the fact that some existing DLCs will now be bundled with the base game, and that we'll be able to buy them at a discount if we already...
I'll settle for Plymouth to Penzance!
I suspect the reason this feature has not yet been included is not that it's not a nice feature-there are thousands of nice features that could be...
It's a little disconcerting hurtling through total darkness at 125mph, but I dare say that's true to life. I don't know that it makes driving...
The AI drivers already control the trains without moving their limbs (or the controls!) by the power of pure thought. Presumably they can open and...
Good to know! Thanks for helping me learn. I like your refreshingly blunt teaching style.
If you're ahead of your slot for a particular signal, you'll probably hold up some other train that was meant to be before you, then that train...
On the other hand, Matt hasn't streamed in 10 days, which usually means he's working late, so a release may be imminent...
Yes, but as far as I know this only affects whether or not you trigger the 'Objective complete' condition (in other words, whether the game...
Update: "Powering America part 2" in CSX Heavy Haul includes programmed weather change events.
Just having an occasional random change in the weather would be good. If you're playing in service mode it's a little eerie that the weather...
MattP mentioned on a stream that you can add weather change events to scenarios, so the machinery is there—I haven’t seen a scenario where it’s...
Not really a problem report, more of an anecdote. I was doing the 101 tutorial on TVL, and brought the train into the final station whispering...
The 'New York Switcher' on NEC isn't far from this. You can essentially switch and shunt as you please, within the playing area.
The 47 doesn't have a lot of grunt, and this is a very steep line. On a grade of 1% or more, as mentioned, it's all a loaded 47 can do just to...
I suspect this is a limitation of Unreal Engine. You probably have to specify the cloud state, precipitation, wetness, etc, when creating the game...
I think the answer is 'both'! The Xbox controller is great for driving, but the keyboard is very convenient for switching camera views. Also, some...
I'd love this too. Also, sunrise/sunset times should change with the seasons! It's a bit weird choosing a sunny summer day and watching the sun...
How?
It's dark up north! Using an outside camera usually helps a little, but there's not a whole lot to see.
I had this the other day as well. The game froze for a second or two, so anticipating it might be about to crash (it always seems to know when I'm...
It's a bit mysterious, isn't it? I drove a fast service from Paddington to Reading, arriving 4 minutes after time, but still got a tick. Yet on...
Hi! Long time driver, first time forum complainer. I'm curious about how the ticks and crosses are calculated for your station stops. I drove a...
Separate names with a comma.
