I really hope we don’t have to wait much longer for this route, but it’s still slightly worrying we haven’t seen hide nor hair of the actual train...
And that they start and finish logically, as I said above. Yes there are instances such as TVL, NTP, even SoS should have gone on further but as...
It looks that way and still no save game means SimRail currently top of my hit list if I need the HD space for something else.
It does look as if TSW, or rather the UE4 editing suite, does have issues when it comes to blending terrain textures. However that will not deter...
In the constructive spirit, after browsing through the JT manual for WCML over Shap, I have to say the one route DTG made that stands out as too...
The manual itself is a work of art and shows how much love has gone into this title.
JT may have taken a year to build this, but that's because AFAIK their team are all people in other full time employment doing this in their spare...
Two words… Yes. Please. Though the 25/2 variant might be more flexible particularly if we ever get any remote Scottish routes or the Cambrian in...
NE Wales got a bit boring as it settles down to an hourly service on the Bidston Line and roughly hourly on the main line, very odd bit of freight...
Presumably by 1986 the local trip workings were slightly streamlined as the Power Station and Dentonholme Yard would have gone with the loss of...
Indeed. Intriguing. Jack Sparrow, “Hey ho me hearties”, comes to mind, in which case they have no business complaining on the Developers official...
Last time I checked, National Library of Scotland (NLS) held a fairly comprehensive collection of large scale maps covering most of the UK and...
Same on PC where the sound often rubber bands along with the game juddering. It’s a horrible mess that badly needs optimisation but DTG sadly seem...
Would a 218 even get up the gradient on the Mittenwaldbahn.
Not really a good idea. Unless it was set against the backdrop of a fictional environment, say a simulation of something like Snowpiercer or Polar...
Don’t forget to lower the rear blinds in the cab, so the BR Board senior officers can’t grass you up for being 1MPH over the speed limit!
Absolutely. I remember taking my bike across from Northampton to Wellingborough or Kettering, risking life and limb on the A45 or A43 (told my...
Think it will be quite important when we get hold of this a week Tuesday, to carefully divorce any issues that are or might be due to the core...
Most notably the missing section of track on BML going around the corner to Reigate at Redhill.
We can think back and smile to Simudrive Jason, or when we got Paul Robins Train Driver 3 running which I think you could do Euston all the way to...
With my limited experience in the editor, at this stage altering the track configuration might impart more harm than good and potentially...
Personally as I’ve said elsewhere, once DTG release a route that should not be the end of it. I’ve already curtailed my spending habits and will...
Fair enough Ben, I remember the old Birmingham to Glasgow/Edinburgh workings which split at Carstairs. Then you had the West Country to Scotland...
Well yes albeit the Mark III. Bit of a shame they couldn’t have done a Mark One RMB or RBR to go in the Mark 2 formations rather than subbing in a...
Well an overhaul is certainly needed but I would rather have had solid core improvements and two decent routes, than the minimal changes and...
Yes mod maps will expand things considerably. Definitely my next task after buying some more equipment will be to try and buy up the grain mill...
All I’ll add to the foregoing is this should be a template to aim at for all DLC developers going forward. Even if you don’t hit that level, you...
Don’t even need to watch the stream to confirm day One purchase.
Well not really. They are in charge of a rapid transit system carrying 10’s if not 100’s of thousands of passengers a day. Their inviolate first...
I mean in terms of gameplay it’s not bad, just that one would really expect to see more of an improvement from earlier versions. Still, I had a...
They still haven't altered the date... Hello DTG, knock knock, anybody there?
Interesting... One to follow.
My initial take then: It’s… so so. I never bothered with 19 or 22 but in terms of appearance it hasn’t really grown much. Was really hoping they...
Funnily enough was just going to post the same thing out - surprised that got through beta testing!!!
On a slightly wider level, I definitely feel as my route collection expands to over 50 it becomes harder to justify purchasing each totally new...
WCML South could easily get a classic layer once the JT 87 (and presumably 86) come out. Throw in a new Class 310 EMU and you could have a retro...
DTG have firmly ruled out anything NYC Subway; the operator has point blank refused access to the system or trains for research or recording purposes.
And no doubt another tedious circuit or two of the Training Centre which teaches you nothing about how to use the train on its home ground, or the...
Maybe it’s the East London Line from Shoreditch to New Cross and New Cross Gate, but in the LUL/LT epoch complete with A60 stock…
Really, really old games going back to the Amiga days would have to admit to Lemmings 2 (The Tribes) and F16 Combat Pilot being my most played....
Very sloppy - building and the testing.
It shouts sale to me, already knew from the TSC version it was a slow route and at this point of TSW where my collection is already stuffed with...
I want a Time Machine for Christmas…
Well it goes without saying, unlike TSC with a small number of scenarios you will get the timetable for the whole day. I also had an issue on the...
That would be the one sensible thing they could do, along with a new steam route - dare I suggest Somerset and Dorset or part there of.
The first rule of beta team, is that no-one talks about beta team. :) If you have to openly tout then probably unlikely you are going to be...
My only real question is for DTG and their other associates - assuming all goes well, have you taken heed of what JT will achieve with this route?...
Excellent, mystery solved and I’m not going senile!
Yes the 218 is a superlative DLC. Makes Maintalbahn tolerable to drive, just a shame it didn’t get a Journey mode on there.
I wonder what coach type they were then. Definitely blue/beige and definitely open seating as per the picture above. Unless of course my memory is...
