Talent2's operate in a lot of places in Germany, they're as ubiquitous as Electrostars in the UK. Various operators have them, such as DB,...
That's definitely a Talent2, maybe it's a Talent3. Hopefully it isn't as bug ridden as the one DTG initially released for Train Simulator.
animalkosmik's picture is of an ÖBB Taurus locomotive, yes. Which is one of the most common pieces of DLC for Train Simulator (DTG made one,...
I fully understand your position, having to disappoint people is never fun. However, if you communicate openly and frequently about why some...
GWE's timetable is nothing like the timetable on the actual Great Western Main Line ;)
I fully agree with what has been posted before. It would be nice to know what the developers are working on, what is being prioritised and what is...
You will find speed restriction signs all around the map, except in yards. If you're driving somewhere and the speed goes up, then you'll...
A Scandinavian train sim community definitely exists. There seem to be quite a number of ongoing projects, one guy even built the entire mainline...
Really nice, thanks a bunch :)
Here in the Netherlands, drivers either get a print-out of their train's timetable (the "dienstkaartje") or can see it on their smartphone (the...
There definitely is freight activity around Stockholm, but I have to admit I haven't really looked into that as I am more interested in the...
Another thing which doesn't work properly in a 166 after it has reversed is the 'Train Lighting on' button. When you press the On button in the...
This is very useful, thanks a bunch! Feature request: can you add some filtering on station and a timeslot? Right now I'm ingame, standing at...
When driving a service from Paddington to Greenford the game wants me to alight at West Ealing, as the branch to Greenford is not part of the GWE...
The actual Great Western Main Line is currently being electrified, the decision to do so was taken in July 2009. Since then, there has been a lot...
I can confirm, buffer stops are gone at platforms 9 - 14.
That's a good point. Armstrong Powerhouse have already made good recordings for Greater Anglia's 360, maybe DTG can license those and apply them...
Interesting to note about the Greenford branch: in preparation for Crossrail a new platform has been built at West Ealing (platform 5) where all...
I would be okay with unbranded trains. Even if you're not allowed to use the company's branding you can still get close, see the 350 of WCML Trent...
It doesn't look intentional to me. If it were, the OHLE (overhead lines) would stop and there would most likely be buffer stops.
I sometimes see this as well. I think it happens when an AI train opens its doors on the wrong side, passengers simply step out on the side where...
I like the changes that have been made to the 166's hustle alarm. Much more realistic now!
Do these trains have clocks in them in real life? If not, then I don't think there should be a clock in the cab. Sorry drivers, best buy yourself...
Whee, smoke emissions!
It's a good thing that DTG decide not to release an update when a showstopper bug has been found, we can wait a bit longer. However, a bit more...
And there's a bunch more in the bug reports and feature request subforums.
After driving a service from Paddington to West Ealing, I walked back to Ealing Broadway and boarded a train there. I sat down in 1st Class across...
Another one: 2P55 from Reading to Paddington. After stopping at Hayes and Harlington, the train is routed onto the fast lines and is sent back to...
So that could be a GWR, Gatwick Express, c2c, or Great Northern route. Maybe a remake of London to Brighton is on the cards.
Indeed, don't release things on a Friday. With a bit of bad luck you're working on a Friday evening and with a bit more bad luck, everyone's got...
After walking around a bit in Reading, I ran out of trains to play with. It would be nice if I could instantly teleport to a different place on...
While I'm walking around in the world, I can't jump on anything or climb any ladders (such as behind signals). It'd be nice if I could climb up a...
Have a look at Realtime Trains for an impression of stopping patterns. Take this train for example, today's 17:25 from London Paddington to...
But there definitely is on the train's nose! :) The shape of the 43's nose seems to attract it, causing snow to stick to the slopey ends.
Snow and ice will stick to a train, even after spending an entire day in service. If it's just come from a siding, you can bet there's snow and...
Something similar happens with 2N16 (Paddington -> Reading): from Maidenhead to Twyford it runs over the slow lines, after Twyford it's routed...
Just now I finished driving the 2H18 service from Reading to Henley-on-Thames (depart Reading 8:10, arrive Twyford 8:17). I noticed some...
Just Trains have already made that route a few years ago, so no need to wait for DTG :) (although I agree it would be awesome if this would become...
I bought the TSW+GWE bundle a few weeks ago. I like the British railways and I find the GWML to a particularly interesting stretch of track as so...
Earlier today I was doing a move at Reading. During the move, I slowly passed a shunting signal at danger (I didn't apply enough brake force). The...
I agree. The route map should be able to show much more details about the route. TS17's map is perfectly adequate, although some Google Maps like...
Agreed! In my opinion there's lots of work to be done to GWE before it can be considered a "final" release.
Agreed, some way to see the timetable of a train would be nice.
In the cab of the Class 166 there are door release and close buttons which you can use. I'm not sure about the HST as I don't drive them that often.
After boarding AI-driven Class 166 train 2N38 at Maidenhead, I noticed that the train lighting wasn't turned on. I would expect that a train which...
I wonder what this passenger did to end up in this awkward position... :-) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
When I started playing GWE today I chose service 3P51: the Class 166 move from Reading TMD to Reading. Upon arrival in Reading I opened and closed...
Actually, the TS2017 model is quite realistic. Especially in Career Mode, as you get a hefty penalty when you miss out on a stop. In real life...
I've returned to Paddington and taken a different train from there (2N12). This one is now stuck just before Southall as the platform is still...
I started a new game in service mode, for which I picked train 2N08. I left Paddington about 7 minutes late, I decided to make up for the time...
