Different depots did things their own way. Old Oak and Laira drivers were more 'aggressive' on the throttle than the Brizzle crews. Almost always...

Don't feel like you have to apologise here. What Vern failed to mention is his utter befuddlement at Unreal Engine, it's editing suite and...

B99.5 just dropped, the last major patch until late 2026. Also, a rare 25% discount on Steam if anyone hasn't tried Valley driving! This is...

My ancient phone camera wasn't great, but here's a real one whilst I was shunting at Carlisle Kingmoor, nearly 14 years to the day. [ATTACH]

I believe the studio was Ukranian and most of the devs were / are fighting for their country.

I can see the forums exploding in more needless furore because the net curtains arent correct :D

You can enjoy TSW in VR with the free UEVR injector anyway. It's bloomin fantastic.

All done with route learning. There is the Sectional Appendix which has all the regulations and special working arrangements for each section of...

Blackpool...its dull as dishwater and not great graphically. The novelty value is the BR blue, not much else going for it.

Not a sleight, but how do you be a 'Hardcore player' in a train game on an xbox? You press those buttons like you mean it?

It's 8 quid on CDKeys Vern.

They can go at the maximum permitted speed of the slowest vehicle in the consist of course, not line speed :D. If line speed or a restriction is...

I like the fact that the devs aren't holding your hand when shunting, your wagons can be at the wrong end of a rake, not coupled up, spread all...

Two of the biggest issues this community has, collided today. 1. Whipping each other up into a frenzy over Deltics, 91's, UE4 core upgrages,...

Don't forget you can make good money with shunting. If a run your loco can handle pops up going to Machine Factory and Town, do that and get the...

I haven't got this DLC but yes, most of the signals would sit on green, these were the automatic signals and changed with track circuit clearance....

Real life drivers know what they're doing, why would you assume they must've sped in these situations? As has been mentioned, traction inspectors...

Yes Benedict, it was the ECR sectional boundary between Crewe ECR and Cathcart, nestled in the wooded area before the line opens out to reveal the...

Here you go: Garstang - 9m 154 yards from Preston. Hest Bank - 2m 700 yards from Lancaster... Oxenholme - 17m 1716 yards Tebay - 31m 1078 yards...

Barton & Broughton, Bay Horse, Lambrigg, Low Gill, Plumpton and Southwaite were all removed from 2007, Lambrigg after the Pendolino crash of that...

What was the point of this thread? Yet another knee-jerk DTG insta-hate posting with zero cerdibility.

JT Mark's reply basically said 'that's how things are'. Fantastic. If only you could've said "I don't see much point in discussing it further" in...

Sacrificial lamb time here....:o Yes, the route, low sun, volumetric fog and close up images look fantastic, we all know how good UE can look....

I like the main selling point of Run8 but can't get past the awful graphics and draconian payment / install system. The devs need to drag...

If the non volumetric fog / low sun screenshots had been put out by DTG, they'd be getting a new one ripped in these forums. I'm looking forward...

And which part of what I said was wrong? If you are referring to the 'Notch Indicator' next to the ammeters, that was just a % of the taps...

No, just the traction amps going to each bogie. The 19 notches up and 19 down aren't shown.

Staying in 1999, and to the West Coast Main Line North, we have an interesting run behind 60800 Green Arrow. I believe this to be the last...

Sorry for the late reply, I missed your question -_-LivvuAurora-_- The design of the traction motors and gearing to the driving axles will...

One from the late 90's and at a time when Virgin Cross Country services could throw up any combination of traction, due to poor reliability of...

The AC loco group has an 85 on display but it isn't a runner. The Locomotives - The AC Locomotive Group (aclocogroup.co.uk)

London Commuter DLC is fantastic all round. You get plenty of AI traffic, a mix of fast, semi fast and stopper services, and it looks good too.

I must be the only one here to think that Blackpool Ormskirk isn't that great. Preston Station is awful, especially the introduction area at the...

Yes, I find Blackpool Ormskirk route to be dull as dishwater. The introduction area on the taxi rank at Preston is also the worst graphics i've...

Yes, that's my thinking. It will also be interesting to see how well simugraph does with the physics, and I will also do a run in VR for full...

No, they closed in '84. My very first run will be HUDless as I have driven the route many hundreds of times IRL and I'm looking forward to seeing...

Not until the mid to late 90's, when some Euston to Blackpool services went HSTs. The mystery DLC loco (86 :)) will fit into the mid 80's...

I found a Preston to Carlisle run with 86225 in 1985. It is a good insight into just how transformative the electrification of this part of the...

The following timings taken from O.S Nock's 'Locomotive Practice and Performance' book, 1989. [ATTACH] Class 40 and 10001 are entries 6 and 7...

The 90 is too late for the time period. As for the APT, I believe that was out of service by November 85, certainly as far as running up the main...

Feedback, not pre release hand wringing! The content isn't even out yet and people are jumping in with the negativity. If you have nothing decent...

And 56s didn't appear until the mid 90s on the WCML north. The only locos it could be which we don't already have are the 25, 81, 85 or 86.

I don't disagree with that ;)

Thanks, but there's nothing new here? The article is from 21st August and discussed...

'Mountains' is pushing it ;) The climbs on this section of the WCML are fairly short, the most notable being Carnforth to Grayrigg, which is...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Ah, talking of WCMLoS and snow, here are a couple of pictures from a "snowy day in the life". The locations shouldn't be hard to...

First thing I did was go 'incognito' and have a google. Nothing.. Just purple unicorns. :( :D

Yes, there's a lot of pointless handwringing going on, 'fishing for likes'.

[MEDIA] This is looking very nice now.
