My longstanding guess is that they were thinking of incorporating multiple routes/products in the New York area into one quasi-open world. So,...
Well this is all quite interesting (assuming it's real). Highlights for me (bear in mind i play on Series X): + Amtrak is back! + New commuter...
It's fantastic on Series X- almost like a brand new game coming from basic Xbox 1. Vastly improved loading times, better and smoother frame...
This worries me and is one of DTG's biggest weaknesses IMO. I'm sure budget/feasibility is a big factor, but they make some very strange choices...
So...Boston, huh? To my shame, despite driving past it a few times, I've never visited. Looking at the NEC timetable, looks like Providence, RI...
But CSX, CalTrain, UP, etc are in the game and are subject to the same laws- this is something that BNSF has decided for themselves. An outright...
I like this idea- not one i've seen before and the ATSF Warbonnet paint is certainly iconic. Biggest problem is that BNSF (who now own the Santa...
I like this idea!
I've had this too- really nice!
Ah, i'm quite jealous. I really hope scenario sharing can be officially implemented someday so us console players can partake. Even if there was...
I just started using PZB recently, and it's definitely increasing my enjoyment of German routes. Still get penalty applications here and there,...
Nicely put and i agree. Haven't gotten as much time to play as i hoped so far, but i've done the Limited Power scenario, a couple mainline...
I'm still on the fence with this route. I'm far from an expert on German railroading so the minor mistakes (numbering, wrong equipment, etc) i...
Great summary!
Sounds like maybe you don't have your DPU setup correctly, so your helper units at the end of the train aren't supplying any power. If you do a...
So does that mean two types of services on H-L, or literally two services? In any case, makes H-L more appealing. The 101 is really good so far....
So, finally having gotten a Series X this week, i wanted to add my thoughts: Even without dedicated Series X enhancements, the improvements are...
I'm constantly amazed by the number of people who think Journey must be played in order. Auto-Journey being defaulted to off might help with the...
Yeah that's what i'm thinking, just as a sub for the switching services. A GP38 layer might be even more likely since there probably won't be any...
Yeah, that'll work for you. Maybe give Gamepass a try before you cancel, though? There's a lot of really great games on there that i wouldn't have...
That's a new one lol
I mean that's exactly what layers are for, right? I''d quite enjoy having the GP38 available just for the switching services.
HMA is the only route with missing layers on console AFAIK. At least on Xbox- can't personally speak for PS.
I'm getting more and more excited for this route. I think the scenery looks fantastic (except the lighting, as usual- pls god let the engine...
I've found that you can cut the brakes out and then back in to cheat PCS if you don't want to do it the prototypical way. If you've had an...
Hmmm.... i swear i've gone to couple to static consists (that i hadn't peviously interacted with) and the coupler has consistently been locked....
It strikes me as odd that they haven't released any NS content for TSW. I wonder if they weren't able to transfer license over for some reason? No...
Good observation! Seems like the couplers default to "locked" on this route, which may be prototypical (no idea), but probably deserves a reminder...
So you can get these missing services on PS and Xbox if you start a GWE timetable service via Journey mode (doesn't matter which one, but i...
Yeah this one worked for me first time, but i've had many issues with resuming saved games across all routes. Hopefully they can get it patched...
This happened to me on my first run as well. Lesson learned lol.
Hope you're right, but i'm keeping my expectations firmly in check for now. I'm reminded of when "Journey mode" was first announced, and the...
So i see lots of speculation about what "rush hour" will be, but this above seems pretty definitive. I'd say maybe one new route in the bundle...
Just finished it now, and agree it was fantastic!! Clinchfield is quickly solidifying its place as my favorite TSW route. Question (slight...
This sounds great!
100% this should be fixed. No-brainer.
This has been an issue for way too long. I was hoping that with Clinchfield featuring chained scenarios, they had fixed it. I literally never save...
I think it would be fun too, but probably not a financially viable project unfortunately.
I'm eastern US and bought it from the Xbox store at Midnight. Do a search for "Clinchfield" in the store search bar.
The trail unit is set to "cut-in" in the tutorial. Once i cut them out the brakes work as expected. It's weird because they're setup correctly in...
Fantastic route. Really lives up to the hype IMO.
Holy cow- didn't realize the F7 had them, i don't think it mentions it in the tutorial (the sd40 tutorial does explain as you say above). Thanks...
Haven't had any issues so far, seems smoother than SPG for sure. This is on an base (non-kinect) Xbox 1.
Don't forget the SD40 has dynamic brakes- your best friend for downhill running.
For the brakes, one tap of LT will set brakes to "First service", which is about a 6 pound reduction. After that it gets tricky with the...
There's a control near the brake handle that you can toggle- it's very similar to the cut-off valve on any other EMD loco (GP38-2, etc). They do...
If you have the controls set to "classic" it does this for tutorials and scenarios on routes that are native to TSW2. The "preserved collection"...
OK, first off, I absolutely LOVE the route... But, have to vent a little. First service i ran after doing tutorial was Train 93 (i think, it's...
You have to cut-out the brakes in the trailing unit, but the tutorial never tells you this (just kinda had a feeling based on how MU setups work...
