Before this thread become more and more escalated. Let's talk about the route itself and what could be fixed in the future. Just recently watched...
oooooohhhhh yes please, Cajon Pass + BNSF must come to TSW2 !!!
I'm lucky enough in my country. Maximum price for TSW2 DLC over here is 11,26 USD (Epic) and 9,73 USD (Steam). Plus i get the games for free from...
I saw a YouTube video about coal train operation down the Saluda Grade by Southern Railway & Norfolk Southern Co. When the front end of the train...
Gotchu, cheers
How fast are you when cresting the summit at Gallitzin Tunnel? I'm running an eastbound coal train, 10,000+ tons, 4 ES44AC (3 units upfront and 1...
You know, sometimes i had a dream where the original Sand Patch Grade get the same physic treatment as Sherman Hill. More realistic locomotive...
Aahhh i see, new information to me. Maybe i'll try the eastbound ethanol service the next time. Cheers
Cajon Pass is a must i think to initially represent BNSF on TSW2. They already got the basic locos for it and i'm quite sure to make it a BNSF...
How do i turn on the alerter? I couldn't find any switches or breakers to activate it.
100% completely agree with you !!! Initially, i really think the ES44AC utilizes SMH SD70ACe overall physic (especially the dyn braking physic)...
Yeah i also notice it Paul! What makes me suspicious the locos's engine OFF is, the Main Reservoir charged very slowly, unlike it's normal behaviour..
Well, in Cane Creek AC4400CW introduction there is a command to switch on the Distributed Power Breaker. But really, it doesn't do anything.
Is it sound correct for you? In my opinion though, the GEVOS sound need more bassy quality to it, and it lacking whining traction motor sound....
Is that at eastbound run? The one that got 2.4% ruling grade?
No, actually the air flow is still the same. The difference is, we're not charging the system from 0, the brake pipe already charged to 83 psi. So...
Yeah, they didn't implemented Sherman Hill's SD70ACe physic which by far is the best American locos in terms of physic and operational handling.
Epic Store version here, experience the same thing.
Sometimes the locos doesn't start it self. I tried to restart the engine by switching the isolation switch to start and pressing engine start button.
1. DPU unit didn't response to Banking Comm, i should manually stick the reverser to forward on the DPU unit. 2. GEVOS sound actually pretty...
Aaahhh i see, i personally hope the GEVOS utilize SD70ACe overall physics.
Is it just me or the ES44AC's Dynamic Brake is too strong compared to the SMH SD70ACe's one. It create much braking effort even on lowest settings...
Good thing is it still Tuesday, DTG & Skyhook have enough time throughout the week to hotfix it. Let's hope so.
You guys who already purchase and play the route, any comments on performance? Does it run smoothly or behaving like early Sherman Hill?
Delayed for 2 months and still get few things wrong. Kinda dissapointed, not purchase it yet atm. Make me think twice really. Do they even test it...
I bet the SOS will be Mid-Spring release
same thing with Epic here, the release schedule is 12 at night.
50's - 60's American Diesels should come to TSW in the future.
There are so many examples preserved steam engine that have mainline operation certificate are equipped with dual brake system, can be switched...
me myself is not American, but about train, my vote always goes to US! Completely agree with you, TSW2 need more US content, especially the freights.
Just tested minimum reduction application on SPG AC4400CW, SPG C40-8W and Cane Creek AC4400CW. And yes, i can confirm thath the reduction on...
The Cane Creek's AC4400CW minimum application is at 10 pound reduction. Maybe i'm wrong, i'll check it again.
Yeah, i completely agree with you on this point! The only locomotive where you can realisticaly simulate blended braking (combining both auto...
Ringo Starr was the narrator for first 2 series of Thomas & Friends (1984-1986), that's why we linked Ringo and Thomas.
Yeah these 2 locos are extremely similar, perhaps the only exterior different is at electrical panel on the left side of the engine (right behind...
It's worth mentioning that the GE Dash 8-40CW uses amps instead of Klb for measuring it's power. The SD70ACe uses Klb for measuring its tractive...
It's kinda cool if we get another DC traction other than existing CSX Dash 8-40CW DLC. Dash 9-44CW and SD70M would be great, or perhaps ES44DC and...
What makes you preferred DC Traction engines? Isn't it an AC Traction engines got more superior pulling capabilities compared to their DC...
For the GP38-2, i agreed that loco is straightforward reskin from the existing loco. But for ES44AC, well they use few similar looking parts from...
for this one i agreed, the GEVOS should have been had different interface on the MFD.
Well, that's a GEVO, when it comes to GEVO, what is actually shows up on your imagination or on your mind? In fact, GEVO, especially the ES44AC is...
I wonder why there isn't a single appreciation for Skyhook to place the stop marker far behind the signal. :D Thanks Skyhook, now i can replicate...
I wish DTG also provide pre-order purchase on the other platforms, i'm on Epic and must wait til next Tuesday. It is worth a preorder.
Check the line that i'm blocked, tweak and adjust it on your personal preference, don't increase the number too much. Try 1.5-2.5 [IMG]
After all, last night preview stream was using dev build, so there is still a chance something can be fixed before public release on next Tuesday....
The GP9 is in the park and facing the correct position. I think at first he applied minimum reduction and make more application until it reaches...
Hey hey hey, don't you listen during the stream? Tom was previously didn't know anything about US freight stuff. I mean for a beginner, he's...
One thing about the air brake though, it didn't behave like Sherman Hill's SD70ACe. When Tom (from Skyhook Games) applied the dynamic brake...
Yes!!! The distance counter is working, but there's one drawback though, it is located on the backpanel behind the engineer seat. About the low...
The minimum reduction application is about 7-8 pound from what i saw during the stream. I know It should be about 6 pound reduction but what the...
