Just musing earlier, and it’s sort of feedback, is the reason this route ended up so short and poorly finished is that the route building team at...
A text report of the occurrence should suffice, giving details of the route, service and time it happened. Service failures generally occur...
Quite possible DTG have already done this, we will find out more when more in depth coverage of the South Devon route emerges.
Ffestiniog Railway would require DTG to dust off steam traction which seems unlikely, given it didn’t even rate a mention in the Direct...
I also highly doubt DTG would do another route which closely follows the existing NTP.
Thought I would check the Logbook as I couldn’t for the life of me remember this morning what I was driving before coming off the game last night....
Strange to relate all my conductor ones went through okay, even the save scumming to finish that part of the challenge.
Well I demolished the Conductor ones, as suggested by doing a Cardiff to Cogan run on CCN, saving before the buzzer at the last stop and just...
Or indeed possible legal action. Once the lawyers are involved, then you keep schtum in the public domain.
I think the choice of South Devon is a good one, but not necessarily the era. Driving a Cucumber from Exeter to Plymouth sound wise will be the...
To be fair, Matt as EP is pretty much a key player in this.
Yes when it was split off into Wales and Borders and Wessex Trains (later absorbed into FGW), the midday train across to Brighton ran from Great...
When I worked for Wales & West etc., the South Wales to Brighton services were top of the not to be cancelled list. You would lose a Birmingham or...
The heritage lines would make little sense without a fleet of GWR steam locos and suitable stock to represent the real life operations. Going to...
Wouldn't stop me playing the game but IMHO it would be a huge mistake to try and replace or downgrade the forum by switching focus to Discord...
Plan on having mine done long before TSW6. After all, will the mastery progress go across from 5 to 6 or will 6 even feature the monthly mastery?
Route itself is 50/50, at this point TSW is overwhelmed with so many unconnected DB routes that offer a fairly standardised driving experience....
Indeed. Network Rail’s linear Forest as opposed to Rivet’s virtual one!
Anecdotally, when GWR first cascaded the 165’s and 166’s to the Bristol area, they lost time hand over fist particularly on the Severn Beach Line....
Newton Abbot to Plymouth is quite scenic (IMHO) too, very hilly and with field patterns that need to be properly represented. I just hope Rivet...
Thanks for that. Guess it’s save scumming Morecambe to Lancaster, then. Though for the next few evenings I’m sort of testing SimRail single...
Sad to report the save game is still unstable even on the new beta. Took Train 6128 out on the Lodz route and was able to save and load a couple...
You also have the Lancaster to Morecambe runs on WCMLoS which are around 12 minutes. I was also wondering if there are any just Queen Street to...
Look on the bright side, at least we don’t have to do any walking or try to find collectibles we haven’t already done… ;)
That would require a massive buff to the AI logic, including replatforming at terminus stations. So I suspect any delays will be very minor such...
I really don’t get the obsession with Conductor mode, it’s a very niche part of the game when 95% of us want to be in the cab, or external view,...
Indeed! Which is also why we are unlikely to see the 802’s referred to as “Cucumbers” in any official communication or find we have (salad)...
I tend to rekindle my interest when the monthly mastery arrives but I have so much else I want to play, can often find myself resenting the grind...
When I first started gaming on PC, the likes of TFX (flight sim) came on about 10 floppy 3.5" discs. If you wanted to run something off the CD...
Actually I got the impression he was a bit edgy and more than a little defensive. While the DTG sounds are generally better than Rivet there are...
There's a few of them about! After a while you get to know who the usual suspects are...
Swans are protected by the Crown - despite being generally bad tempered hissy little so an so’s - which means the job gets stopped if one is...
Plus any delay to your train and others you might encounter on the continuing journey carried over. Even when the periods don't match, as will be...
I do follow the official TSW Facebook page with the occasional whimsical post. Also Train Sim World Community FB though best to avoid being overly...
Still really don’t understand the emphasis on getting people over to Discord. Perhaps one of the CM’s could come on and confirm or deny whether...
Also don’t forget the cynical view that a new version of the game with “updated” DLC, nukes all previous reviews of the content on Steam at least...
Think the main issue this year is removal of the double discount, i.e. 20%, for existing owner and pre purchase. And while it might be complex to...
If you are doing 125 MPH with the HST it’s probably going to take a mile to stop. Approaching Reading shut off power at Sonning Cutting (halfway...
I bought a handful of AP stuff over the years, mainly sound packs but as above I really like everything under the one Steam roof. And not all the...
In that respect, not saying how I know, but the PEGI people seemed quite unconcerned that a game that allows the player avatar to freely wander on...
I still remember my (officially sanctioned) cab ride from Bridgend down to Milford Haven in Wales and West days. Both myself and the driver were...
166’s need to reflect the absolutely knackered state they are in. Travelled on one from Bristol Parkway to Bath the other week. The refurbished...
Even when I worked for NR in the Control it made me very uneasy. Not least because of the dog is on the line, the owner might well be too so as a...
Having a think about it. I’m guessing AP/XP will be back this time, along with collectibles. Maybe 10 timetables or scenarios in the autumn.
Found it and the beta branch on Steam which I will download later on.
Seems to me the 104 has been dropped or at least triaged for more lucrative work, then.
Yes, initially in the mid 80's there was a fleet of 142's at Exeter for local services but these were soon deemed unsuitable and old heritage...
The owner was lucky. Unless things have changed it was Network Rail policy not to caution trains for dogs or other small animals on the line....
The British route will be good, allowing for possible "R" involvement. Think DCZ but partly by the sea. The trains, I guess we won't find out...
That matches my experience to some extent, Teddy. Not only that, many locos or units in TSC, my first instinct is to open the cab door or...
Separate names with a comma.
