The heritage lines would make little sense without a fleet of GWR steam locos and suitable stock to represent the real life operations. Going to...

Wouldn't stop me playing the game but IMHO it would be a huge mistake to try and replace or downgrade the forum by switching focus to Discord...

Plan on having mine done long before TSW6. After all, will the mastery progress go across from 5 to 6 or will 6 even feature the monthly mastery?

Route itself is 50/50, at this point TSW is overwhelmed with so many unconnected DB routes that offer a fairly standardised driving experience....

Indeed. Network Rail’s linear Forest as opposed to Rivet’s virtual one!

Anecdotally, when GWR first cascaded the 165’s and 166’s to the Bristol area, they lost time hand over fist particularly on the Severn Beach Line....

Newton Abbot to Plymouth is quite scenic (IMHO) too, very hilly and with field patterns that need to be properly represented. I just hope Rivet...

Thanks for that. Guess it’s save scumming Morecambe to Lancaster, then. Though for the next few evenings I’m sort of testing SimRail single...

You also have the Lancaster to Morecambe runs on WCMLoS which are around 12 minutes. I was also wondering if there are any just Queen Street to...

Look on the bright side, at least we don’t have to do any walking or try to find collectibles we haven’t already done… ;)

That would require a massive buff to the AI logic, including replatforming at terminus stations. So I suspect any delays will be very minor such...

I really don’t get the obsession with Conductor mode, it’s a very niche part of the game when 95% of us want to be in the cab, or external view,...

Indeed! Which is also why we are unlikely to see the 802’s referred to as “Cucumbers” in any official communication or find we have (salad)...

I tend to rekindle my interest when the monthly mastery arrives but I have so much else I want to play, can often find myself resenting the grind...

When I first started gaming on PC, the likes of TFX (flight sim) came on about 10 floppy 3.5" discs. If you wanted to run something off the CD...

Actually I got the impression he was a bit edgy and more than a little defensive. While the DTG sounds are generally better than Rivet there are...

There's a few of them about! After a while you get to know who the usual suspects are...

Plus any delay to your train and others you might encounter on the continuing journey carried over. Even when the periods don't match, as will be...

I do follow the official TSW Facebook page with the occasional whimsical post. Also Train Sim World Community FB though best to avoid being overly...

Still really don’t understand the emphasis on getting people over to Discord. Perhaps one of the CM’s could come on and confirm or deny whether...

Also don’t forget the cynical view that a new version of the game with “updated” DLC, nukes all previous reviews of the content on Steam at least...

Think the main issue this year is removal of the double discount, i.e. 20%, for existing owner and pre purchase. And while it might be complex to...

If you are doing 125 MPH with the HST it’s probably going to take a mile to stop. Approaching Reading shut off power at Sonning Cutting (halfway...

I bought a handful of AP stuff over the years, mainly sound packs but as above I really like everything under the one Steam roof. And not all the...

I still remember my (officially sanctioned) cab ride from Bridgend down to Milford Haven in Wales and West days. Both myself and the driver were...

166’s need to reflect the absolutely knackered state they are in. Travelled on one from Bristol Parkway to Bath the other week. The refurbished...

Having a think about it. I’m guessing AP/XP will be back this time, along with collectibles. Maybe 10 timetables or scenarios in the autumn.

Seems to me the 104 has been dropped or at least triaged for more lucrative work, then.

Yes, initially in the mid 80's there was a fleet of 142's at Exeter for local services but these were soon deemed unsuitable and old heritage...

The British route will be good, allowing for possible "R" involvement. Think DCZ but partly by the sea. The trains, I guess we won't find out...

That matches my experience to some extent, Teddy. Not only that, many locos or units in TSC, my first instinct is to open the cab door or...

English please!

After the fireside chat, they threw Thomas on the fire...

+1. Really need to ping Matt or one of the CM's over this. For months we have clung to the hope this will be coming to revitalise PFR. Basically...

The other DMU type in the Exeter area were the B&RCW Class 118's. Very similar to the Pressed Steel Class 117 suburban DMU's which worked London...

Maybe one way round the Epic problem for DTG is to split TSW into three separate editions, UK, Europe and USA/Other. Pricing for the core games...

Don't have Ludwigsbahn. Only on my radar for a deep sale. MBTA Worcester is actually quite nice, more varied scenery than the Providence route and...

Probably the steam traction and Classic routes I miss but despite having the previously mentioned 290 DLC (Steam alone) there’s stuff I bought and...

Frankly fallen off my radar. Never bothered reinstalling on the main PC after my last content purge. Laptop seems to go into overdrive loading...

The lightbulb has arrived!

Well that’s where it gets confusing. I got chided above for labouring under the impression this is because Epic are fed up with the annual farce....

I first discovered the joys of European railways, particularly Scandinavia, in early 80’s followed later on by North America. While unlikely to...

The biggest single sales pitch is that support for TSW5 will be dead as a dodo from 1st November.

Well my bad, but then DTG ought to have made it clear that’s the reason. The whole discussion and not just my contribution seems to be built on...

Indeed. While not suitable or copyrighted for use directly, it should provide enough reference for a skilled audio engineer to do the mix. They...

Well TBH at this point I would take it aliased to the 101 sound and physics, even if not correct. Particularly as the 101 sounds more like a...

Well that is how it should work with a small patch being applied to update as necessary. However I suspect Steam probably needs to run some sort...

One of the great things about train simming is to get out of the parochial box and explore railways and trains from around the world. Which is why...

Scoring out of a possible six points, I went Deluxe. Even though the era is wrong for me, South Devon Banks is pretty much essential viewing....
