Broadly speaking DX12 moves work from the CPU to the GPU, so if you have an old CPU and a high-end graphics card you should see an improvement, if...
DX12 is off by default, your PC is (almost certainly) capable of running it, but the game won't use it unless you set it as a startup option...
I agree with your point about the i7 versus i5. It may be worth your experimenting with DX12, which offloads some work from the CPU to the GPU -...
That's very similar to my setup (albeit i7 4790K and 16GB), and Dresden is perfectly playable (40fps except for some of the 'busy' sections) at 4K...
The cathedral is only visible in the distance from the rail line, unlike (say) Cologne. Creating a precise replica, when only the three towers...
It's the Thameslink services (that don't run into Victoria) which stop at (almost) every station.
Great stuff! I've pointed out several times before how ridiculous the aircraft models are in TSW, with their engines hung near the wing tips. It...
Replayed them straight through with no problems, so I'm blaming the Save/Resume function.
You can't tell immediately, but it appears you're much more likely to experience a red light that never clears further on in the run. On the GX...
I can't comment on whether the volume of the DSD is correct, but it's certainly not attention-grabbing (unlike the AWS) and easy to miss if you're...
On both the runs I've tried (the first 'journey' on GX and a scheduled run in the 377 from Reigate) I've ended up deadlocked by the scheduler,...
5.8GB download for me (that's more than just the Meissen branch, of course). The new branch does look rather spiffing!
I upgraded my 4 year old PC (it sounds like yours is at least as old) with an RTX 2070, and it runs in 4k and Ultra settings at 40fps, so I agree...
By the time I've saved enough, the 4000 series will be out. :o
I have to restart the wipers after a reload on the Dresden route.
There's a daily Amtrak each way on Horseshoe Curve, but I doubt it will be represented in the gameplay. You can watch the Curve live on YouTube...
I got the same thing but with a 146.2 at each end (playing the Dresden 'journey', one of the early scenarios). As stated, such formations are...
I'm not asking for a detailed aircraft model, just one that looks vaguely like an actual aircraft that could fly. The current one doesn't - it's...
I'd be surprised if they produce monsters like 844 or 4014 as their first steam model. I'm expecting an 0-6-0PT for the WSR.
If LGW does have them, let's hope they're a better representation of a generic aircraft than the ones that overfly Köln Hbf, with their engines...
Very nice. One (tiny) snag - on training sessions the indicators showing you which button/lever to use next are now in the wrong place. But I...
Which may be fine if you're starting from 120fps, not so good if you start with only 40fps.
The game renders it at a larger size and then scales it back to fit the screen. It's supposed to help with anti-aliasing artefacts, but if you...
Taking out the -DX12 lost me a few fps. I suspect the effect depends on the balance between CPU and GPU speed for each particular PC. My rig...
True. And not only that, hardly any two players are playing the game in the same way. Some people like scenarios, some timetable; some like...
I think the upgrade has taken the stop marker settings (and most other things) back to the defaults, which is on. They've always been separate...
It's been suggested deleting the game and then reinstalling everything might work.
The full game (with all DLCs) takes up ~250GB when installed, so the download is only about 40% of that (and being an engine upgrade *everything*...
My download is 80GB, and some players who have *everything* report 100GB. Steam reserves the space before starting the download, so (for those...
I was worried about disk space for a moment, because mine had dropped from 120Gb to 40GB free with less than half the (80GB) transfer done, but it...
79.8GB - I had to start manually, it was scheduled for 05:41 Friday.
Like this test train (Gravesend April 2017)[ATTACH]
It depends which model. The base 3060 draws a max 170W, and the power supply needs to be at least double that (so you ought to be OK with a 650W...
Place name pronunciations can change quite rapidly, particularly if there's been an influx of outsiders. Two of the towns near me are...
True, dat. Welsh is a phonetic language (as is Spanish) - if you can spell it, you can say it. You just have to know the different (from...
Don't you mean 'First Nation Summer'? ;)
Could it run in a VM? There'd be a performance hit, but any modern PC will have 10x the power of a top-end 'beast' from 20 years ago. (It ran...
The glorious 12th! (Hey, my guesses are just as good as anyone else's :o)
June 2001. I know because I was on holiday in the US (travelling coast-to-coast by Amtrak, as it happens) and picked up a US copy (with the BNSF...
Is that your own model collection, Paul? I used to have a Mamod steam traction engine, fifty-something years ago. I wonder what happened to it? :)
Unless DTG have a new licencing agreement with GWR, it's likely to be in GWR green (but happy to be proved wrong).
Thanks everyone. It was my understanding, too, that Thursday is the day and there's no pre-order discount :(. Just a bit surprised that Steam...
But there's still no release date shown on Steam, just "Coming Soon". Shouldn't it be available for pre-order by now?
Did anyone else notice that in the maps of Munich, latitude and longitude are transposed? I presume this isn't carried through onto the game...
Do you live in Windsor Castle with a 3-mile drive? I can just about understand £2,300 for an FTTP connection, but £23,000 is enormous. Perhaps...
Good idea, Callum - sounds like a plan!
This could be tricky for me, as my SSD has less than 100GB free. I wonder if I can persuade/trick Steam into downloading to my HDD and then...

The NEC is back but not NY, it's Boston-Providence.
