Another argument to get a 185.0 or .1, perhaps ;)

It is. They’re old electric locos. They need those loud cooling fans. Furthermore, you should manually turn on the cooling fans when you start...

As Spikee1975 said, the sound level in TSW is more like if the door to the engine room was open, but the sound is there in real life, too. It’s...

Yes, she does. I can confirm from real life. It’s only the 185.0 and .1 that don’t do it.

An updated MSB with a proper 151 for banking and freight would be amazing.

You’re looking at these things too much in isolation. Look at it this way: You’ve got a small closed-up room packed to the brim with (heavy duty)...

It is mostly cooling mixed with all of the electrical buzzing of the systems inside. There’s a lot of stuff at work - computers, the air...

Just to prevent any misunderstandings, I’m only talking about Germany. For German DMUs, off usually.

I’d like to know that myself. Most stop markers are nonsensical.

They don’t need to. They get handed a note with the info they need.

For EMUs, yes. They’re frequently parked with red on both ends. Not locos though - they’re parked with all lights off. At least freight locos,...

True. I’d love to drive my 4F down to Ditton docks manually via free roam, but for some reason can’t set a path there. Not only are the yards...

It’s a terrible waste. As a route, SoS (and PFR) is so well done and there are these endless yards all over the route and yet, we never got even...

Funnily enough, I returned to OSD a few days ago (trying to tie up some loose masteries I never bothered with) and saw some at the Burlington...

Happy new year to you all :)

I decided to spend New Year’s Eve by doing something I’ve come to really enjoy - running another one of our runs. Joining you, lcyrrjp and...

Tail light locos aren’t “safe” either since they’re usually occupied. At least for freight locos, they aren’t stored with head and/or tail lights...

I assume you waited until the compressor stopped working? It takes ages for the 363 to pump up a brake pipe and the compressor stopping is a good...

Very respectable run given the heavy load :) I don’t quite know how you got to Derby in just about 9 minutes though ;) Thanks for all of the...

Thank you so much for your input, DominusEdwardius. The two points that really stood out to me were: (emphasis mine) In many of our runs, we...

True. I feel like SoS could have been steam’s DRA or SEHS if it had been built up to with more stock available from previous routes and/or loco DLCs.

Thank you very much for your input. It’s much appreciated. Could you have a look at the test I did and share your thoughts? Here: I tested the 4F...

As far as I’m aware, the poster works for DTG, so it’s as good as it gets in terms of a look inside (happy to be corrected if I’m remembering the...

Something else I would like to bring up regarding the (to my mind significant) change in performance on the lower cut off settings. I don’t know...

Satisfying indeed. We’ve had a lot of runs now on here that fall short of the logs or timetables by a couple of minutes or were extremely hard to...

Could you explain why the indicated position and simulated position are so far off? I’d have assumed that 50% indicated cut off is actually 50%...

That would be incredibly disheartening. Surely abandoning steam traction completely can’t be the answer TSW is heading for. Sadly, it would...

Not gonna lie - the prospect of having another real performance log to work with was one of the main things pushing me towards picking up MML in...

This is a big one, for sure. Besides the two kettles shipping with MSTS back in the day, TSW was my first contact with driving steam locos and...

I went with LFR. It’s probably not objectively the best on the list, but my favourite. It’s German. It’s vintage. It’s vintage electric locos. All...

:love: [IMG] Source

They're Bombardier units. They always scream Störung. Always.

Same thing happens to the n-Wagen cab car.

How can you forget the name of the mighty n-Wagen, the gracious Silberling? :D +1 for Left Rhine. Beautiful vintage rolling stock and beautiful...

There’s certainly still something wrong, but I haven’t had any major issues so far. I’ve completed all of the scenarios and one 158 timetable so...

I know they’re different. I’ve worked on them.

I’d love a 186, but doubt we’ll get one in the foreseeable future. I’d wager it’s a lot of work for DTG to put in for a loco that the majority of...

Glad to hear you’re enjoying it :) The 103 is fantastic after the update that fixed the blended braking.

Regarding what lcyrrjp said: While you might argue that a timetable change is less dramatic, it harkens back to the Tees Valley Preservation Crew...

Thanks for sharing. It’s so rare, but so helpful, to have a cab ride which clearly shows what the driver is doing.

Glad I’m not the only one who tried :D Some months ago now, I installed TSW2020 on my PS5 specifically to check out freight on the old NEC. I was...

Just had a crash on PS5 in Chasing Yellows. Interestingly enough, it almost seemed dependent on how quick you go about it. First try, I wasn’t...

It’s the freight I’m still missing to this day. Running freight along the twisting track through the urban setting had an atmosphere to it that...

They’re only partly blocked off in real life. DTG made an artistic choice to streamline the engine room. For comparison on a real 155: [ATTACH]...

I think it started way earlier, from the inception of TSW. For example, one of the first German locos, the 185 on RSN, already skipped them. The...

Thanks. It’s just disappointing since most (or all?) of the other units in TSW using a similar drivetrain do have them modelled.

So, thanks to the current PlayStation sale and the positive feedback to the update, I decided to take the plunge. I’ve only played the tutorials...

Of course there are vintage routes; it was this that I was aiming at. Good thing if they already have references, but I don’t know whether they...

…and the body shell, which was improved for crash protection. If anyone has difficulties spotting it, compare the area next to the buffer beams on...

While I strongly dislike all cab cars with the sole exception of the Karlsruher Kopf and maybe the Hasenkasten, DTG will need to consider if they...
