    could we have a cold start option for steam trains it would be more realistic to have a cold start option an idea i have is you click on the fire box press a button or controller or left click mouse and you light the fire i think that would be brilliant

    Given it took something like 4 to 6 hours to prepare a steam loco from cold and dark, can’t see that being a very popular option! It would also need a rather more radical and realistic implementation of steam physics than the partial and arcade iteration we currently have.

    I'm going to say no to that.

    They took ages to statlrt up from scratch IRL, I don't think many would want to spend hours just preparing the locomotive.

    its a feature on TS Classic just implement the same way as TS classic does it just unrealistic having steam trains in the sidings steaming when they aren't being used when in real life that isn't the case especially when they are static and not used on Galas TS classic depicts that well and its true to life but DTG aren't good when it comes to realism despite TSW being branded a realistic simulator what a joke


    and the way they implement it into TS classic it doesn't take long to start steaming
