Yes the overnight trains really shatter the suspension of disbelief. Mark 3 day coaches were not generally used on these trains, should be a...

Amen to that! Though I have to say, on the couple of occasions we used a sleeper berth it was pretty much impossible to grab much sleep. Just...

It would be nice to have something a little less abstract than the current AP system. I took another look at The Bus last night, as it’s now out...

Scenario "Looking For Trouble", loading back into a save game the DRA had switched itself back on.

The scenery looks nothing like Cornwall, just trees and weird stumps at intervals along the track. Among the worst if not the worst route Rivet...

I shall keep an eye out for that one. The other biggie will be the coach add on for ETS2 but as with most SCS announcements it can be over a year...

I agree OMSI 2 is best but it can be a right bear to run. Can’t use the joypad as there is no analogue precision and keyboard is too clunky. So I...

The mod makes it a nice train to drive. Of course the conundrum now, is that MVL effectively duplicates the Class 700 runs from SEHS, do you play...

Yes. It really destroys the immersion. Trouble is I see the DTG “we know best” management lumping in this in the same category as always putting...

For a really zen run, try the Class 700 test run (make sure if on PC you have the sound mod installed so the audio is actually decent). It's...

Indeed and include lying down on the bed in the same way as we would sit on the seat.

Have to disagree. In the absence of jointed track on the route this is quite nice to hear at intervals, there is still a possibility of hearing a...

A 25 pack would fit in nicely with the Cumbrian Coast, too.

I did wonder that, basically any three digit number serves as a wild card. The sim isn’t that pedantic (yet). Just my OCD/Fen Shui made me do it...

Yes then you have to stop at the next signal to grab the plate number and set it back up again.

Long single track runs through remote or at least hilly scenery. Which is why I would like to see something from the Highlands or West Highlands...

Do they still have the ex S&D 2-8-0? That would be nice along later with Bath Green Park to Bournemouth West to run it on!

Toilets are great and if they are in real life no reason why they shouldn’t be in the game. I mean, early game Fallout 4 before you can set up...

The 85’s and other surviving early build AC electrics could also be found on the secondary express services and residual loco hauled Northampton...

I can certainly recommend the Class 33 Railtour - hang your head out the cab window to really enjoy the scenery.

One thing I just observed. Loading into a save game the GSM-R in Expert mode is blank/off. Looks like it's not saving or loading the status. I'll...

Second the above, we need a Hall and/or Pannier with some authentic GWR coaches - even if the steam simulation remains at the same level as...

85 (or an 81) would only really work if they could properly synthesise the "roarer" sounds as they were quite different to the 86's and 87's.

Post in English please.

I haven’t got CL2 but still saw a Class 66 hauled freight at Strood. However as CL2 is dirt cheap in the current Steam sale, will probably add it...

You need to have Expert mode enabled in game settings to use the full GSM-R features, as I found out last night! A couple of other functions also...

Oh it’s a nice bit of fun and a lovely touch. However having worked on the safety critical side of things, even eight years retired this year, it...

Yes my only observation from the stream and when I got the GSM-R working correctly is that the signaller wouldn’t normally be quite that chatty....

Just to add my two cents… On a first drive through rock steady and even running at 4K on my GTX1650 was getting 25 to 30 FPS and that’s with...

I think they must be playing a different route to the rest of us… The only issue I had, which resolved after chatting to Adam/Fawx off line, was...

Also OT - Run 8 should accept Paypal, World Pay or similar which has the same effect. It also doesn't help their basket only allows one item to be...

No mods here and thus far no issues. In fact, kept my settings at 4K and even on the first run the old potato PC churning out 25 - 30 FPS with...

100% agree about Rivet. They may have done better with the Riviera Line but their overall output remains below par and there is the legacy of...

Must check my mods but think the only one I have is the better lighting for Riviera which I doubt will affect this.

Now that Medway Valley is in the bag, probably nothing on my radar until Preston to Crewe, the German steam route (if it appears this side of...

Working toilets also introduces the possibility of the driver having to go back and check the passcom, when someone mistakes it for the flush or...

Now that makes me think of "Shaun Of The Dead" when Shaun and his stoner mate were playing trance/house music at 4am much to the annoyance of the...

Just pop in your local Wetherspoons for that!

Just watched a good portion of the stream while on the exercise bike (fast forward the section where Matt couldn’t get Discord working - ha, the...

Well knowing the route it would be a nice run in TSW and bring Newcastle to the game. But this is one I would like to see JT make in the BR diesel...

And just when you thought the month couldn’t get any more expensive, Run 8 just went and released another route section for their SoCal mega...

I was basing my status of the 700 on a quick run along SEHS yesterday evening, but guessing the same issue came over in the stream. How on earth...

I'm already behind with the SoCal routes, but in all honesty haven't touched Run 8 for months.

I did post that as a late question in the Q&A but don't know if it got answered. The sounds per se are okay, it's the levels which are far too...

Actually one late item, aimed at DTG... Currently doing a SEHS run with the Class 700. As this unit layers into MV, please is there any chance at...

I would have to check, but think the interior configuration is slightly different and the 165’s have more hopper windows.

Fair enough but it’s not the first time the squelching has been very apparent, it really does destroy the immersion. Note this is in no way shape...

Just watched a few minutes of the stream. Immediately apparent was the awful sound squelching occurring quite frequently, with Matt presumably...

Well DTG must still have the source files so it ought to be a fairly simple process to take the locos at least back in house, particularly if...

I think most of us would probably prefer the Class 56 OG, not the rebuilt GM “body snatcher” version! :)
