As usual I’m dividing my time about equal between TSC and TSW. Both have good and bad points but since devising my playing card randomiser for...

My wife tends more on the side of, “Turn that f…… train noise down…”

Another QOL is the ability, similar to the 5 key in TSC, to quickly drop into a passenger view without having to give up control of the train....

TSC certainly seems to be getting a different batch of content on sale every week at the moment, though this weeks UW campaign the only one of...

Regardless of the extent of the UK route we think we are getting with TSW5, BCC would benefit from a SEHS style extension. Put in the Walsall...

Perhaps the big reveal next week will be the subsidiary golf cart sim, which you can summon when the game does this to you! I know this had been...

On a different tack, I wonder if we are going to start seeing any official teasers for the content in the run up. Similar to TSW3 when were all...

Now though, I have to say while not exactly like for like traction just started a run on North Wales Coast in TSC with a Class 158 (first Career...

Or Munich to Garmisch/Innsbruck.

I don't think that would be as popular as the Furness Line and would make more sense integrated into BPO.

I apologise for the surplus "k"! But seriously it looks a lovely spot, somewhere I'd like to visit one day on a very scenic line.

Typical, my next Journey run on ECML is at night! Still I quite like the effect if maybe a little overcooked. We are probably waiting for our...

From what I can see, the diesel prime mover fitted is a Cummins QSK50, so wonder what it will sound like? probably silenced to hell and back though.

Just going to finish up a run in TSC, then will give the 801 a try.

What’s fascinating is that over on the other side of the track, so to speak, we have the Polish railway operators allowing unprecedented access to...

I usually try and keep 2 or 3 km/h under the speed limit, keep a margin in hand. Same going uphill, I'll normally set the wheel to the value one...

You should be able to keep the speed in check using the loco dynamic brake, just watch the sudden gradient changes. Blend the vacuum brake in and...

A bunch of individual train simmers petulantly haranguing SBB about it is not likely to carry much weight. If anything it would probably just...

Yes I am aware of that. Well they should actually have a clue what they are doing before attempting to build what they don’t really understand....

Possibly means when walking around out of the driver’s chair. On PC there is an undocumented Ctrl-0 command that lets you do this. Quite useful if...

Only in so far as SHG seemed to get it right with the 158, but agree re the other stuff.

PC's suffered and to some extent still do from the price gouging and short supply that accompanied the crypto farming fad a few years back. Also...

Years ago I had an (official) cab ride from Crewe to Rugby on a Class 86 and if you thought the WCML was rough in the passenger stock it was...

As WCL came up yesterday evening on my randomiser system for TSW, I had to torment myself driving the wretched thing from St Austell to Penzance...

That would be the sensible option, align with the TSC business model and sell us a decent set of DLC or a Season Pass. Well, less than a week...

I would imagine putting anything through a Swiss court would be prohibitively expensive and the moment SBB mention the risk of terrorism or...

So long as they don’t follow suit. Also at this stage just be grateful it’s only the trains and cabs that have been affected. If people push back...

Where else can you find a station called Kubovka Hut! And both the CD Class 749 "Grumpies" (in original noisy form) and the dinky little 810...

Only if they include the Northampton Loop. TBH IRL not sure why they called it Daventry Freight Terminal. I mean it's not exactly in Daventry...

Not creepy per se, but a bit of character. Sadly I still find Rivet's take on the 484 a bit off. Seems to accelerate way too briskly and at times...

I like the idea of early morning light mist, slowly clearing to a beautiful sunny day. (And not having a biblical thunderstorm five minutes later).

Coming back from posting similar thoughts in the TSC section... SBB are getting funny over too much cab and driving detail, yet as many routes are...

Well the next big Steam sale isn't until November and the September date is also going to coincide with the likely release of TSW5/the 2024 big...

And DTG also continue to decorate routes, particularly in TSW, with grafitti in locations that could only have been accessed IRL by trespassing...

That is one good looking beast!

Boldly go where no train sim has gone before! (And I’m not going to plug the Bermuda Railway again, ah…).

Exactly. Time to spread wings, see how receptive other European railways are. Czech Republic, Slovakia, the various Balkan countries, Scandinavia....

I'm still having to work on agreement for a Windows compliant hardware update for the PC!

Well think it's fair to say after the LIRR business that DTG always come down on the side of compliance. However it does beg the question that...

But that is only used in exceptional circumstances and at very low speed. ATO is used on Glasgow Subway in TSC and literally all you do is push a...

It's nothing new unfortunately. Union Pacific were massively opposed to anything sim related at one point, then suddenly did a 180. Then there was...

I do remember reading something to that effect. Mind so far as TSC is concerned I do believe DTG have laid aside in house route production in...

ATO, no thanks.

I actually created a loose interpretation of the Alston branch for MSTS many years ago!

Another option to do a Swiss route is to model the geography but switch location to another country. That's what RSC did all those years ago with...

I am getting the sneaky feeling that expert level may well end up being a one off, given the stance we are now seeing from SBB and if other...

Given the news about SBB, the previous situation with LIRR and the general, “Man from US freight railroad says, “no””, predicament it seems to be...

As I commented in the TSW section, do SBB also plan to try and extend this to MSTS or Trainz content that is already out there and for which no...

Alston branch although that closed in 1976 I believe. An earlier era does bring more variety in terms of freight. If the SIAM Carlisle 1973...
