I think the menu options Articuno mentions only appear if you've disabled the 'autojourney' option.
I assume SIFA as modelled in TSW accurately reflects the real world implementation, but it triggers every 30(?) seconds, irrespective of any...
I've seen heavy freight locos on 1500V DC lines running with two pantographs up, I've assumed this is so they can draw the larger number of Amps...
You enable DX12 by opening your Steam Library page, right-clicking on TSW2 and selecting 'Properties'. From there you can "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS..."...
Thanks so much for doing this, hightower. One question, the new file is named "TS2Prototype-GWEBranding_Pack.pak" and the old one was...
I'd definitely say the new physics are a significant improvement - e.g. it's now possible to get wheel slip quite easily, whereas it was much more...
Hi ht-57 - the dynamic(ish) skies are new, but I don't understand the reference to "4k support" as it's definitely a resolution option under TSW1....
TSW1 had 4k support. The graphical improvements in TSW2 are present whatever resolution you choose to run. It looks good in 4k, and there are...
Lots of awesome scenery in Italy, unless you travel on the high-speed lines, which seem to be mostly in tunnels. ;)
DTG discovered they didn't have a licence for it. :D
Alternatively, if you like having autojourney on, just hit Esc to pause the game and then select return to home page (it's the bottom option, I...
Thanks geloxo, but when I disable texture streaming, it takes nearly 3 minutes (rather than 20-30 secs) to load each activity, which is too long...
It's not just the preserved content, the ICEs and EMUs on both the Cologne and Munich high-speed routes are very noisy in rain. This may be...
I've got a 2070 and a few weeks back I was having regular crashes, but only (weirdly) when I was trying to start a new activity (which is the best...
Building an accurate steam model is much more challenging than building an equivalent diesel or electric - the controls, visual effects, sounds...
Thanks to hightower as well as geloxo, I appreciate your help with my settings. Even with StaticMeshLOD of 0.7, turning off Texture Streaming...
Thanks geloxo, those Engine tweaks work really well for me, providing a significant graphical improvement, with no discernible impact on frame...
I've used Save on the Talent 2 (Köln-Aachen) a lot, mostly without problems. The only serious issue I've had is with a scenario that involves a...
Beer and milk are still in pints, though :)
I've heard it said (possibly by Matt) that one reason for DTG selecting Bakerloo is the older stock - other lines are almost fully automated,...
If you have 'autojourney' enabled (as it is by default), the game will restart from the beginning of the last incomplete journey. But if you...
It's true that autostart takes you back to the beginning of your last uncompleted journey, but then you just need ESC and take the option back to...
The buildings are impressively accurate (at least, it impresses me), I wonder how they do it - presumably not by making their own model of each...
The option to Save works in Journey mode and then (if necessary, which it often is for me ;)) you can restart from the last saved point, and then...
The moral of this tale is: save frequently! ;)
I think Dovetail (Matt/Sam!) have stated that one reason for choosing the Bakerloo was that the other underground lines are much more automated,...
True, but there's no penalty for an ACK so, if in doubt, ACK! I got stuck at a yellow in the underpass approaching Hackerbrücke, no matter how...
Maybe Dovetail could offer a 'train set' mode: just W/S for forward/back; A/D for faster/slower. I may be dreaming, but I seem to recall MSTS had...
I had a really big stutter about 25km short of Augsburg (in among the solar farms), much more than the standard 'load a new frame'. But generally...
I had a 6.9GB auto-update at 17:00 BST, which got my hopes up for a moment, but I should have realised the preserved collection + Munich-Augsburg...
One thing I've learnt in 40 years of using PCs (and buying them for major corporations), is that there'll always be something newer/cheaper/better...
Matt's GPU prices seem on the high side - I paid £400 for an RTX 2070 in July. General tip is (as with wine ) don't buy the most expensive one on...
Still on "Aachen Turnaround", having left Aachen, I turned on SIFA and PZB. Saved the game (stopped at Stolberg) and the same problem occurs when...
I've got a different problem. I'm on the "Aachen Turnaround" scenario in Journey (Talent 2). I've made it to Aachen with all the safety systems...
IIRC the very first MSTS in 2001 had the NEC from Washington to Philadelphia(?) with an Acela and AEM-7.
I've mentioned elsewhere that intermediate driving cabs appear on the class 166. In addition: rolling stock loses its numbers (they appear as...
I find this happens on Class 43 and 166 as well, but only when the game has been saved and then resumed later.
Some 166 consists have a driver's cab on the intermediate carriage. I've only noticed this after restarting a saved game.
Separate names with a comma.
