Loco Freightliner Br Class 70 - Feedback Thread

One issue.

Not available until 11am for PS users.

 

Xbox series x headlights are not illuminating

 

The Automatic Warning System (AWS) isn't playing any audio on PS5 across scenarios, timetable mode, and training modules.

 

Xbox Series S
- Headlights & tail lights are not illuminating

(Whilst not a bug, I did note that 70001 & 004 do not have their nameplates)

 

Xbox series x
Loading in ECML Doncaster to Peterborough
Loco doesn't load in and you fall through the map
Service 4L55 Doncaster down decoy to renwick road
Edit: after more testing I can't seem to replicate it

 

PS5, The Headlights aren't illuminating during the daytime on East Coastway.

 

No AWS and No headlights working on ps5

 

This is not good

 

Xbox Series S
- Headlights & tail lights are not working.

 

Im having ‘wrong build’ as the excuse on my bingo card.

 

Was it ever said that named locos would be modelled? I assumed they would all just be plain unnamed as per the DB 66s released so far.

 

Just purchased, starting first run on PS5 pro, Airedale/Wharfdale lines, there is no audio for safety system alarms (AWS/DSD) and the headlights do not illuminate at all. Hopefully a quick fix patch comes soon, was really looking forward to this.

 

I don’t know

 

On the mml chapters its only giving a white tick NO scores or medals. Xbox series x.

 

I'm getting so tired of what Dovetail deem release-worthy.

Did every single person play with this loco and not notice that while the effort kN figure shows 250, the green bar just above is at over 400? It's the tiny little details like this that absolutely make/break routes and locos and it seems no-one on the testing team notices them.

 

On PS5 the cab is far too dark.
Loco struggles to get above 40 by merstham on full power.

Attached is a TV run on PS5 at 1405 (mountfield gypsum from Redhill),

Can't even see the reverser or central controls although the left light works best on that. Even the central desk light isn't particularly brilliant... Just need the lighting up a tad in daylight, after all, there are windows all the way round the cab...

Other than that it is very good and I'm happy to say worth £15

 

It might that dark because you playing an older route i dont know but could the reason.

 

Was running on BML and ECW remastered.

 

No AWS or headlights working on PS5

 

What a beast!

This is the first money I've spent on TSW in some months and thus far it seems money well spent.
Very nice model both the interior and cabs. The audio, to my pleasant surprise despite how it came over on the streams, those singing traction motors don't entirely drown out the thud thud of the engine and exhaust.

The two issues are those already mentioned - AABS and DTG definitely need to get their heads together on the braking, far too sharp. I made an initial application at 74 MPH literally for two seconds to trim the speed and it was down to 63 MPH before the brakes came off. So too much brake force and very slow to release.

On PC the headlights are working, but flickering like billyho.

 

On PC, i cant seem to get the headlights/taillights working in either cab.

 

Couldn't resist, bought it on XSX and really impressed with the graphics, sound and how detailed everything is.

The cold start procedure looks like it'll take a bit of learning!

Only minor complaint is that although the headlights seem to throw out a bit of light, the headlights aren't actually illuminated themselves.

 

On Steam and just done two of the tutorials and it feels like an amazing add-on - quality all the way. Lights and safety systems working brilliantly for me and it looks and sounds awesome!


Could someone just try this one from the Glossop line timetable - 6M17 - and tell me what happens?

 

PC - Steam

Birmingham to Crewe Route
Service 6V11 13:47 dep.

1. Headlight is flashing, like it was seen in the preview stream.
2. The 70 is almost unable to get the train moving in Notch 8.

 

PC / Steam

Headlights are hit and miss, sometime they illuminate and sometime they don't.

 

Small visual bug - one of the "Caution - Hot surface" stickers on the roof is inverted.

 

PS5 no audio for aws on any service, 3 emergency brake applications on 1st try, impossible to drive so gave up. Very disappointing.

 

The brake cylinder pressure gauges don't seem to display pressures between 0.0 and 1.0 bar properly for me. When I start applying the independent brake, the pressure reading in the brake cylinders remains 0.0 until I've applied the independent brake enough and the reading suddenly jumps to 1.0 bar. Pressures above 1.0 bars seem to display correctly.

 

-The exhaust isn't properly aligned with the exhaust stack.
-As noticed the right ventilator doens't work in the second cab, but also the speed button of the right ventilator is connected to the right light dim button.
-Is the braking correct?? It's brakes faster then my bicylce.
-The green tractive afford line isn't properly scaled?
-Sander button doens't work in cab 2 with a keyboard only with the mouse. What's up with the little horizontale stick in the sanderbutton, it moves magically.
-Phone of the GSMR doesn't work, only the standing at signal button on the GSMR. Is this correct?
-Screws on the brake handle consoles are z-fighting.

Nice testing guys, bravo!! It took me less then 10 minutes to notice!

Headlights are working fine, on PC/Steam. Not tested on a Tod3 route, only on Tod4 routes. The loco looks and sounds very nice, but the little things gives me a bad taste. Same like the 805 buttons, I wonder if it will ever be fixed.

 

Excellent to see this is yet another other AAS product that’s apparently not been tested on console. Shame as despite their last 3 products being…rough, I was still looking forward to their content this year - but alas they’re determined to maintain this ‘we couldn’t care less’ attitude with console quality.

I just find it incredibly disgusting that software being published for our hardware is just thrown over with 0 regard for potential implications. The silly bugs are one thing, but what happens when they brick something that can’t be undone.

 

Why what's happened to you

 

Floating Decal on Loco.

 

Good grief - refund now.

 

nope. just providing helpful resources for the devs to use, to make appropriate updates.

 

dtg_jan re lights issue not working on C70 on MML. They are on GWE and lights are working. Flickering on WCML. Definitely an issue.

 

Buffers Colliding Inside Each Other.

 

As stated on a good detailed review on Steam, the bogies are incorrect, the are completely off. The frame is to large incompare with the real one. It's getting only worse.

 

Xbox Series X

initial thoughts: what a beast, sounds are beautiful, those traction motors are screaming which I love! Honestly impressed overall however there are some bugs and niggles I’ve noticed.

bugs:

- Headlights seem to flicker along with the red generator/engine lights behind the cab on the side of the train, by the engine panels.

- said this a few days ago but exhaust in my opinion is a bit too much, reminds me of the clag on the 66 from TSW1. It seems to spit out very fast and very high, not that it needs fixing but maybe look at tweaking it in the future with IRL reference or videos.

Along with the exhaust, there seems to be exhaust coming out of two spots? Main exhaust comes out the pipes or whatever but just behind the pipes a meter or 2 back, there’s smoke shooting out from… I’m not sure? Don’t know if that is how it is in real life or what but I didn’t manage to get a picture.

Body/model: I could be wrong and I don’t think it’s bad but looking at the front of the train, from the cab to the buffers online from videos, in real life, it looks like there is more of a ‘slant’/slope to the body, basically looks maybe a bit too “straight”, but that is just what I kinda noticed from in game videos and compared to online, not that it is a issue.

overall:

not much to add apart from the other bugs which have been mentioned in here. Still very impressed overall, finally a new freight train, a beast! Look forward for the gameplay opportunities with this loco in the future!

just like some of the American routes, we need a UK route in the future focused primarily on freight, would be lovely. Imagine hauling a 66 or a 60 out of Tunstead quarry!

 

Purchased on Steam, but it’s impossible to get moving because it keeps asking me to release the brake—over and over again.
And, as is the case with all purchases not from DTG, there’s no translation for the commentary.

 

you have to "cut-in" the brakes. this might help:

Have you played the tutorials.

 

Take a look at the bogie frame. BUt also look at the curve of the cab at the front the bogie it's completely wrong. The proportions aren't right, the axles are also to close to each other.


And the wheels of the MJA wagon are sunken in the tracks.

 

That curve is actually pretty noticeable, wow. In game one looks more rounded and smoother were as the real life one is more straight and sharper.

 

Does this loco have banking.

 

Probably not in the way it's set up on the US loco's.

Anyhow, it would be nice to see some response from AABS to the various issues raised, particularly the horrid braking, and what we can expect in the way of a hotfix.

 

The braking is crazy I'm doing 75 put it into 1st position for a few seconds and dropped to like 60mph.

 

Minimal Braking with the HOA wagons results in the loco nearly being catapulted off the track.
