Route Birmingham - Crewe Feedback Thread

Yes please, I spend way too much time on these forums and if I start using Discord too I'll never have time to actually play the game.

 

Yes that would be good. I have been posting screenshots from the DTG discord channel on the forum because some information hasn't been coming over from discord.

 

I thought this was an interesting review.

 

I apologise sincerely!! But Yes you've been working so hard on this to get things sorted out. & You deserve a raise because you've went above and beyond in the discord server. But honestly get some rest after this!

 

Running 1U34 Crewe to Euston in a 350/1 and found this 350 off path stopped between Stafford and Crewe clogging up the slow lines. Screenshots show service and other one nearest signal for location reference.

 

Many of us don’t choose to use Discord. Not a user friendly way to have a structured conversation and there was in fact considerable dismay when DTG announced they were also hosting discussions on there. I am more likely to look at the official Facebook page than Discord. In fact I can’t even remember my password. So, yes please, share any information on the the forum to ensure maximum coverage.

 

A good and fair review that TBH

 

Tried to keep it as balanced as I could, despite some clear emotional frustration :’)

to be fair, that should be expected when it comes to something we are very passionate about

 

2x British transport police number

 

First run on the route, 5K02 the EMT between Crewe C.S and Crewe. The carriage sidings have a speed limit of 3MPH. Is this meant to be 5MPH?

 

first real issue i've had: service 1F53 ended with a signal passed at danger when going through a green signal around halfway between stafford and crewe
edit: re ran the service to make sure i wasn't going mad and happened again. around 15 miles away from crewe

 

are the brakes on the class 350 this bad in real life? Barely any wetness and it takes like 2-3 miles to stop from 110 mph… I’ve had better luck in the class 66 with a full cargo load!

 

Try the British transport police one, it has an anchor equipped.
The others seem to be very bad.

btw, those signal light flares in your video, is that a mod?

 

Thanks, will give that a go!

Just drop these into ur engine.ini file!
r.DefaultFeature.LensFlare=1
r.LensFlareQuality=3

 

I found the 350/1 with two shades of green are really weak compared to the others.

 

For anyone that wants better visibility and rendering distance of the signals along this route, I've made a mod for it here

I also recommend to install the base TSW 6 signal visual improvements mod, if you haven't done so already.

 

Birmingham New Street is too dark with a pitch black roof.



Should look like this- Birmingham New Street on BCC

 

I'm still on Build 651 (on PS5) after checking for any updates due, is this still the wrong/old build?

 

Please fix the issue with the ground texture moving on the sides of the track as you’re going along, it’s very annoying.

 

You are on the correct current build, I'm on PS5 too.

 

I think this is related to a mix of how ballast LOD loads in and also the raised ballast they've created with this route. Overall, it's great, but given how these details load in has the opposite effect when driving. Also really loathe seeing this too...

 

that's good to know thank you, i could have sworn i saw somewhere in the forum the build number should be in the 1,000's (can't remember the exact number) so was a little concerned when mine still showed 651 a few minutes ago!

 

Yeah a number 1140 was getting thrown about, it all got very confusing a one point.

 

That build number was for xbox

 

that's probably what i was thinking about, then i loaded it up tonight expecting to see that number but it still showed 651, so i wasn't sure if i was missing an update, so thanks for the clarification!

 

Probably already been reported, but selecting a Class 390 service from Crewe to Birmingham was spawning me on foot at random locations! Not sure if this a route issue or a core thing.

 

I'd personally disagree with this - As a regular New street traveller - the roof is pretty dark. I always thought the roof was too light in BCC.
