It depends whether your system is CPU-bound or GPU-bound. DX12 shifts more processing to the GPU, so if performance is currently limited by CPU...
There are some people who are excited by a new route/feature and want it as soon as possible, and are prepared to pay the asking price. There are...
Not everyone has room for multiple copies of TSW on their drives.
The FAQ refers to DX10 in both 'minimum' and 'recommended' requirements, so I'm guessing not.
DX12 offloads more processing from the CPU to the GPU*. If your CPU is the limiting factor, moving from DX11 to DX12 should improve performance,...
Chains are still much used on Network Rail. Bridges (and other infrastructure) are identified (and plated) by their distance from some major...
After the latest TSW2 update, the "1972 Stock Cab Door Enabler" pak caused a crash when you started any route (there's an update that fixed the...
I was helping a friend with his Model-T Ford this morning. That has no speedo, either (although as top speed is 42mph, it's not a major problem).
Yes, you need a beefy power supply to run an RTX3000 series card.
I can run 4k Ultra with engine.ini enhancements quite happily on a fairly mediocre spec (2070 GPU, 16GB, antique CPU but good for its day). I'd...
That and some other journeys - any that have a consist with unbraked wagons next to the loco, and then braked wagons further back, the braked...
I was a little concerned with the initial introductory 'video', as it played at about 10fps, but I actually get quite good frame rates playing the...
Does this mean they can make their generic aircraft a bit more realistic, instead of hanging the engines from the wingtips?
30GB download - hope you've got a high-speed Internet connection!
How many copies of your A320 have been sold? It's often been pointed out that there are many, many more flightsim enthusiasts prepared to part...
There are several ex-SAR narrow gauge (2') locos at the Welsh Highland Railway. Two of the Garratts (NGG16) are runners.
The Class 25s were tremendous locos, there's one at the Bucks Railway Centre (Quainton), though as it's 3'6" gauge, it's static and appears to...
Plenty of Pacifics to be seen at Crewe, but not many went to Liverpool (or Manchester), because those lines were relatively flat. You needed a...
You can scale the HUD on PC using an engine.ini tweak: [/Script/Engine.UserInterfaceSettings] ApplicationScale=0.500
BR Dining Cars were very good and breakfasts on the Manchester and Liverpool Pullmans were excellent (the Griddle Car on the Royal Highlander was...
The LMS only had a handful of 0-4-0Ts, mostly to be found at docks and other locations with very tight curves, but there were over 400 Jinties.
The shed staff would often clean up the area around the logo on an otherwise filthy loco. I think it may have been a remnant of LMS practice.
It's true that many dedicated modellers will spend high 4- or even 5-figure sums on their railways, but they still retain some value - it may even...
I found that if I turn banking comms off and then back on (in the lead loco), it works correctly.
The first part "Complication at Cresson" is now doable, though it still claims you're 'off path' when you're at the stop point waiting for a train...
True, and in more than half of cases, after a restore the game will fail sooner or later, often with a phantom SPAD or a signalling deadlock; but...
I've just tried to do the 10K GP-38 service as part of the 'journey' and I was immediately faced with a red light that stubbornly refuses to...
The Big Mac exchange rate is a serious (okay, semi-serious) attempt to represent the purchasing power of various currencies using an (almost)...
Thanks Callum, I wasn't aware of that. All I can say is that it's caused no problems on my 4k system. It's been around for a while, so I'd be...
This fix requires messing with the system timer using bcdedit (useplatformtick). I'm not brave enough to try it! There's a thread on Guru3D that...
While we wait for UE5 (pro tip - don't hold your breath!) I'll put in a plug for DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution) - requires an RTX graphics card....
1. I've only tried a couple of services, but if you ensure all locos are working (by pressing the Comms On button before doing anything else) this...
True, WaveyDavey, I don't use Livery Designer, so it doesn't matter for me. The only time this affects me is in the training segments of the...
Don't you need to close the DPU circuit breaker as well? It seemed to be necessary for me, but perhaps hitting banking comms does that as well,...
I'm very happy with the frame rates, but I've only played the training missions so far.
If you're on PC, you can vary the size of the HUD using the engine.ini file: [/Script/Engine.UserInterfaceSettings] ApplicationScale=0.500
That's a very 'insider' German joke :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bielefeld_conspiracy
There are two working distance counters, one behind the driver and one in front of the second man (on the ES44AC, at least).
Yes, I was trying to get 'up north' over Easter, but the WCML is more or less shut (in various places) over the weekend. We used to look forward...
In the very first release of MSTS (2001), I remember animated deer on Marias Pass!
I'm very happy with New Journeys for £4, I just paid nearly £6 for a pint (in London, of course).
LMS 12-wheel dining or sleeping cars were regular visitors to Preston during this period, and well into the 60s.
A recent update (the one that restored Creators Club?) messed up (some/many) previous saves and left you standing alone on the tracks if you tried...
I used the Runcorn transporter bridge as a nipper, I've also often crossed the Tees on the (well-known) Middlesbrough example and been across the...
Freight runs are scored on observing speed limits and accurate stops, but not (unlike passenger runs) keeping to a timetable.
I'm on PC.
I strongly suspect that the last time a piece of bug-free computer software was written, it was a 'Hello World' program in Basic. I've a mate...
I have this problem on GWE as well.
I restarted a saved game (on Tharandter Rampe) and just got dropped into the middle of the tracks, no train!
My favourite was the Griddle Car - particularly happy memories of breakfasts on the up Royal Highlander from Inverness (they didn't run to...
