Well, JD, generally we expect an update to improve a route, meaning by that (1) fixing existing bugs and (2) adding newer features introduced...

I think you underestimate how many man-hours re-doing a passenger interior takes.

No, DTG made them for the Leeds-Manchester run in the early 80s (NTP). Even if we to run a rather fictionalized 101, it would have to be...

It isn't supposed to maintain line speed; in fact, IIRC it is governor-limited to 80 km/h.

1) You are replying to JD, not Jamie. They are different gentlemen. 2) If you had spent much time on these forums at all, you would know that the...

As I mentioned in another thread, the Class 40 was not working the WCML in 1958; the first prototypes were in East Anglia running trials. The 101...

The 204 was designed as a dual purpose locomotive, like an American Geep. Shunting and light local freight, both.

In 1958 the first prototype Class 40s were being trialed in East Anglia. They didn't enter service on the WCML until the latter half of 1959. No...

If you ignore the whole "exploitative marketing model" thing.....

If this is one of the services which has mineral wagons (unfitted) adjacent to the locomotive, it's a known bug. The workaround is to pull the...

It's not a matter of hardware, but a matter of trains. Simply put, DTG (after MUCH criticism in the past) made the command decision not to fill...

Again, the ban is on public betas for DLC. A strange rule, but there it is.

To be more specific: they won't allow public betas of DLC. Original base games, OK. Weird, but that's the rules, and it really harms games like...

Very few games have ever looked as good, awesome really, as Red Dead Redemption II, and that was for 8th gen back in 2018, the year TSW came out.

The problem with that is that neither Microsoft nor Sony permit public betas. So it would be PC-only, and the fallout from that ("DTG are screwing...

Vikings? Well?

There is quite a distance between "flawed" and "broken," and the vast bulk of TSW content falls in that space.

In the meantime, in reversing moves check the train length and measure that against the “distance to target”

Nostalgia is certainly a factor, which is why I would love to see a Bundesbahn route as I remember it 1968-73. But I’ll drive anything (that isn’t...

Holy smoke, I never thought I’d win one! Thanks, all!

I don’t think the green one is even fitted with AWS

That would be the case in real life, but AFAIK Simugraph doesn’t model bidirectional brake pipe supply. In any event, the brakes are still always...

Also, the present wink and a nod attitude toward PC mods allows them to avoid the appearance if treating console players as second class citizens

That’s a misapprehension. In TSW, the marker is always for the lead vehicle based on direction of travel

I’m pretty omnivorous

If the 09 is in its original 1962 configuration, it wouldn't have those.

True for Europe; but American railroads, at least the western ones, had to make very long runs between population centers through arid or outright...

The limiting factor in steam train range was always water, not fuel. Kettles went through prodigious amounts of the stuff, and it was always an...

If, as Paul P reports, they are in the sound mix but inaudible, then it would seem it's really just a question of pushing the faders

^This.

Foaming? All I said was that it was unwise for a games company to include politically controversial content.

Jeez. Fences and clickity-clack? I have come down on occasion on DTG where I really thought they weren't coming up to scratch, but this is just...

This is a tough crowd.

What does London-Brighton have to do with it? Brighton used one recycled 377 and one slight mod of it as the 387. That's very different from...

This is another "used to have" feature: it's present on Sand Patch. (Also, you get echoing as you go under overpasses).

Budget.

AP have shown no interest in doing any TSW work. And, yes, even they would find dropping from 256 sound channels to 32 a challenge.

That's rather unnecessarily accusative and hostile. For some people, historical accuracy is a valid consideration and not just an "excuse" for...

Rush Hour had the built-in advantages of nearly all traffic on the Victoria-Brighton line and its branches being handled by Electrostars, so that...

Yes, I am sure. QA is concerned with the technical side of things. Aesthetics and gameplay are Beta's department.

So, the DLC will not be "full and complete" unless DTG first produce the half-dozen or so locomotives required to provide all those services.

That really is an interesting question with regard to game philosophy: in a historic setting, should it be period-accurate, or prettied up to suit...

Performance issues. A dirty version of a piece of rolling stock is an entire new livery, as far as the game engine is concerned, which has to be...

QA is concerned with "does it crash?" not "shouldn't there be fences?"

Define the "full complete product"

Is this our familiar GWML tracks, or parallel tracks?

For the zillionth time, AP does not mix sounds for TSW. They do no work in UE at all. All they do is provide raw sound files.

At that price? Absolutely. The Class 31 is a standout among the old BR diesels, largely because it simply drives... differently. The sluggish...

What would your solution to that be? Fill it up with imaginary 8F shunting services?

Exist on at least the Clinchfield F7 also
