At the moment no, but I am of the view it should be to properly address some of the incomplete aspects, at least bring it to the level of steam...

Problem with Flying Scotsman or any A3 (or A4) is that it has a relatively limited application - i.e. top link passenger services. The Jubilee...

Exactly what I said unless of course they are planning a surprise...

Very apparent watching the stream how intrusive the safety valve noise is. They had to turn the volume down and move the viewpoint to half way...

I would support this as driving NTP with steam, even in its 1980’s era depiction, would be far more enjoyable than dreary Crewe to Liverpool. Give...

Yes but the problem is, with few third parties and no official route builder, as I noted earlier if Rivet build it then no one else is going to....

Indeed, I can accept the sparse vegetation as generally at this time the lineside was kept fairly clear of trees and shrubs. But continuing to...

This. It’s not like this is the first ever computer simulation of steam. If the experience can’t at least equal the default in MSTS, TSC or Trainz...

It has been a requirement to fence off UK railways since they were first conceived in the 1820’s, so yes it is quite right that a route set in the...

Quite surprised to see them on an urban route! My preference would be a rural or secondary line, just would be a nice change when driving in Germany.

I'm really beginning to wonder now if this is actually ready for prime time. We have the fireman issues, Matt seems to confirm the regulator and...

Indeed. My one regret with Run 8 is that they haven't included some older F units which would be great fun all the way from Fresno to Seligman or...

Well it would be an interesting possibility. The problem as things stand is that (so far as we know) every train runs to a set path and a...

As I said above, they are already talking about farming it off to the Pres Crew before it's even out!

One other quick thought off at a tangent from AI firemen and buffet cars. I caught the run through of the various scenarios and see there is...

Well we can debate this until blue in the face, but I stand on my point that if they were going to do steam properly then the time, financial and...

No, not really Alex. Because otherwise there goes the best chance of getting a decent stab at one of the UK's if not the world's most iconic and...

As has been said before, the people working on 3D models or artwork are not necessarily the ones doing the coding. Let's not rose tint this....

Perhaps they will do Stourbridge Junction to Town with the Parry People Mover. Probably still make a mess of that though.

Reminds me of the old film Beetlejuice, when the deceased couple were travelling through the afterlife admin areas (!) and they passed a room set...

Though as I commented previously Gary, they have had months if not a year or two of lead in time to get the firing aspect - whether AI or player...

Sadly CRR seems to have joined the ever increasing list of “fire and forget” TSW routes. Launched with great hoorah, but then left to languish...

Yes getting a horrible Cathcartish feeling of deja vu here. I still need to track down the stream on YT and watch it but I know from the short...

It’s more the authenticity of the consists, if this is supposed to be a historic recreation of the route and era. No different to releasing GWE...

If that is the case then no better than early Trainz or the old Japanese console games, Kisha de Go (the steam edition of Densha de Go) or SL de...

HST era would be better but as stated OP has spammed another unrealistic route request. We are waiting to see if DTG have any plans for GWE but...

Sorry you can’t take a bit of whimsy…

Good points Gary. It's a source of frustration that I can't run the HST with the doors open to hear a bit of engine noise, yet the Class 395...

OP - Assuming you are running TSC, you need to ask the mods to move the thread to the relevant section. If you're running MSTS, Open Rails, Trainz...

No disrespect but we really don't need this bringing down to include Thomas references. It's never going to be seen in TSW. My RMB has more chance...

Run flat out at 50% cutoff, that will soon sap the boiler! But seriously, a definite concern and one which needs to be addressed. As I posted...

I think it is considered bad form to tag DTG team members in routine route requests. Your suggestion has no less or greater merit than any other...

I am definitely getting the vibe this was rushed. The fireman arrangements, lack of lineside detail and general grime, no catering cars. Let's...

Now that is nice. Much better than the FGW green refurb with 387 style ironing boards!

One of the challenges running steam locos in TSC or even MSTS was balancing cut-off/regulator and speed with steam consumption to avoid depleting...

Trouble is, the 380 is just another push button Electrostar style EMU with a very narrow front view. How about a 303 or 311, something a bit retro?

Could next week’s demo utillise the PC?

That is a matter of history so far as loading gauge is concerned, not DTGs fault. As regards the 8F, well yes a smaller tender loco or tank...

Now that is a slight concern, particularly for night driving where we know ambient lighting in the game is not at its best. Let’s hope some of the...

I just hope the items people are picking up on are not evidence that things have been rushed at the last minute to meet a deadline. A decent (ish)...

If Journey Mode your tasks will jump around between the different motive power types that come with the route.

I looked in vain on Google for buffet and restaurant car menus from that era. Latterly during BR days the catering arm was known as “Travellers’...

I only just caught the end of the Stream but yes, looking good. Including the Independent Lines behind/under the station is a nice touch. I will...

Appreciate the response Matt, but I live in hope it can be added at some point maybe as part of a DLC. Any catering car has potential future...

Newcastle to Carlisle would be great as kind of loses out to the S&C every time. Worth going the slightly extra distance and if set in the 70’s or...

Indeed and I think this is the main reason we have not seen longer routes so far and indeed that SoS is less than 40 miles long, so that most runs...

Yes if you mouse over and click it should get a Banking Comm "On" message.

Definitely give it a try as this will ensure other locos in the consist take their control input from the lead loco. Otherwise you are dragging...

And most UK Heritage railways are bound by law and the Light Railway Order to a maximum speed of 25 MPH, to ease certain safety requirements and...

Edit - deleted my buffet car gripe already in there.
