It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall and know exactly what Rivet have on DTG that allows them to get away with pushing out their...

Exactly! You would have to have to be playing a very insular game not to know the purpose of the red line and frankly it was a bit patronising of...

Doing my current A to Z playthrough of all my TSC routes (well, that’s the plan), it is immediately apparent just how more diverse and varied the...

Update: It’s working now. Had two request stops so far, as suggested T to open doors and after about 20 to 25 seconds they close again and on the...

Ignore our resident "wise guy/unofficial spokesman", who's post you responded to..! Rivet are right next door to where these trains operate so...

Sadly I think Spain will win 3:1 and there is more chance of TSW5 releasing with a BR Classic Blue or surprise Return To Steam with Somerset and...

From what I've heard, if you did have a catastrophic crash and found you hadn't backed up every last file, they will open up the download again...

About the only thing Rivet do well is interesting scenarios, don't just grab a run from the timetable and add a bit of crappy weather.

Between TSC and TSW they take up probably over 500Gb of drive space. That's why I had to laugh when looking for a new gaming PC I went to one of...

Run 8 also operates a very, shall we say, arcane e-commerce system. You can only purchase one item per transaction so if you're buying from...

Yes I had been eyeing the Searchlight ES44 but back up to full price so that can wait for the next one.

Been playing train sims for over 25 years so think I understand the basics by now! My question did relate specifically to Bernina Line in TSC so...

I tend to use the F4 rather than F3, but I’ll give that a shot, or just mosey round in external view and see the doors have closed. Anecdotally,...

I suspect it s a Rivet physics anomaly. I know the throttle on these units serves as a speed setter (at least climbing or on the level) but my own...

One thing I’m currently doing at present is an alphabetical playthrough of my TSC routes, taking the first unplayed scenario on each route at the...

Sadly Rivet have even more of a fire and forget approach to their content, than the DTG overlords! Not sure if due to arrogance, ignorance or...

Thanks Bekns, I’ll do so later on. And yes, Rivet do seem to have made a better job of it in TSC than they have done so far in TSW. The only thing...

The mechanics of how you get advised are covered in the manual but not how you manage the doors. There is reference to, “You must open at least...

Realistically it’s not what the customers want, it’s what DTG and their Focus Overlords decide will make the most money. And no amount of polls or...

Not sure how it’s set up but certain stations on Bernina and Arosa too I think have a random chance of generating a request stop. On Bernina if...

Same here. I’m now trying to avoid anything that isn’t on Steam or self contained. At one point I tried to get that freeware Southampton to...

DTG seem quite hopeless when it comes to fixing the people on tracks issue. Goblin line had the same problem on release and AFAIK still exists....

Anything happening with SR at the moment? Seems to have gone rather quiet in here.

In MSTS days I was part of two small commercial teams building routes. It can be quite challenging as you can end up with conflicting views over...

Yes the first driving games I encountered were Simudrive and the ones created by SIAM, who mainly focused on Traffic and Signalling simulations....

I worked with a guy years ago who was from North Wales, fluent in Welsh but had an English accent. He related the tale how he was on a bus...

I was just about to post to that effect. Rivet’s Swiss efforts are a bit flakey but with a few exceptions (such as the original Rapid Transit and...

Sounds like a Day One purchase.

I can never take Trainz as a serious simulation. Best route building software but the driving experience remains plain bloody awful (pardon mild...

Yes I had forgotten that. And still keeps track of where all the other services are and how they are running. So if essentially a one person...

I’m currently trying to drive through my TSC routes in alphabetical rotation, arrived now at Bahnstrecke Leipzig to Dresden. What struck me is how...

Most of the train games on the tablet are Indian or Chinese clones of each other and complete rubbish too. The “developers” probably beyond the...

When I was a DCM in the W&W/ATW Control (before jumping ship to Network Rail!) we used to get our safety briefings from the senior Traction...

It should be an option. There are a few scenarios where you end up waiting around, some of the loading ones on Oakville and wasn’t there a freight...

Anecdotally, when I lived in South Wales for just under 9 years - despite the bilingual clamour and “Welsh first” on signs and announcements - I...

Just done a night time run and, apart from the stations which are much improved, it’s the same old almost pitch black. Not how running through a...

95% certain. I guess one answer would be to fire up WCML North and check in TSC but fairly certain same thing coming in off the main lines....

Fairly certain the last couple of signals on approach not AWS fitted and one of the gantries has the red No AWS through a red cross sign on it....

One. Word. Answer. Yes! And to subsidise the refurbishment dev time add either a Class 25 or one of the famous Trans Pennine Class 124 DMU's.

Oh I'm sure I can coax a new mobo and CPU by working my charm! (Eventually).

I have read there are ways and means which even MS tacitly acknowledge, but with warnings that even if you install Windows 11 from the iso disc,...

Are these Standard or Career scenarios? If the former you can still fail a station stop if you are a little late, stop slightly out of position...

Well given the two Scottish routes are by Rivet I would say go for Tharandter aka DCZ. You get a fairly polished German route and a decent train...

Well the actual engine can be loaded up and down while stationary. There are companies such as Locomaster profiles who have "Wired For Sound"...

Ah you mean like the editor, where the unwary thought we were getting something as easy as Trainz Surveyor to work with and we would be churning...

With modern EMU's, DTG can pretty much copy and paste sounds between the units. Then if we complain it's too quiet point out the driving cabs are...

Yes I got both of those on DVD, think Cumbrian Coast actually on two discs. Class 108 DMU but very quiet so probably a power/trailer set with the...

Yes, but it is still a trawl through the lists to find them (albeit the trick of temporarily favouriting them helps a bit), but what is wrong with...

Poor old Jeremy (RIP). Great guy but he must really have got on the niggle of some of those train crew and traction inspectors with his constant...
