Gwe Remaster: Appreciation And Discussion Thread

Can I make small request if can do it please no stop markers on top of red signals please and thanks.

 

Yes, I believe it was because of the time period

 

In the remaster DTG LIAM will there be extra jobs added to the timetable and will the times be adjusted accordingly thanks.

 

He's creating a whole new timetable. Iirc he's said he's not touching the original

 

Thanks for the info i could not find it

 

I know that GWE is getting a remaster of which we are all waiting for, but I noticed the platforms have texture issues, just wondering is this down to the remaster or is it another problem?

And here is another..

And another..

 

I believe this issue has been ongoing for a while so hopefully the remaster fixes this

 

The new lighting with the remaster might help solve that issue

 

And seriously, would you get on a train if your driver looked like this? He looks like he is absolutely hanging from the night before!

 

Hi Liam, I admit this is me being slow. I know you've said the Diesel Legends will be getting an update and the timetable isn't being done, but is it getting a new timetable or is it the original? Sorry if that's a stupid question.

Either way I'm really looking forward to this.

 

It would be nice if the real 165s could be modelled at some future point. Repurposed 166s are a good stand in for the time being however.

 

Will these fixes include the various scoring anomalies?

 

Awesome thank you.

 

Good to see the lighting will be fixed with the remaster, Reading and some parts of Paddington have looked particularly bad since we got TSW5. Been watching progress on this from a distance for some time but really looking forward to it, particularly with the third-party timetables that are already available. Good work Liam

Is this going to be released before TSW 6,if there is going to be a 6 that is? Ive got the original GWE so looking forward to this.

 

What I find really impressive, is the HST sounds from original GWE, really have stood the test of time and still sound really good!

 

They will be even better as Liam has confirmed the HT overhaul includes the ability to run with the cab doors open, bring in a bit more thrash. Of course even better if we had a retrofit with Paxman Valenta but that's beyond the scope of this exercise.

 

Biggie sort of question for me. When we spawn into a freight service. Can it be done NOT in the station ie down near opposite Reading Depot or under the flyover for freight that is coming from Berks & Hants / Basingstoke direction? So we get a nice run up into and through the station. The same with HST services so we can utilise the Flyover. apart from depot moves you rarely get to drive down that way unless you decided to stay in and free roam after finishing a run from Acton or Paddington.

Also hope that Acton has a few more locos / wagons in there.
Looking forward to the release :P

Sorry but I'm dumb ass when comes to this stuff so if he is doing a new timetable. Does that mean a whole lot of new jobs as well as the old timetable jobs.

 

As much as some people love the old Shriekers, they were all gone by 2010.

 

Oh I know. It would either have to be artistic licence or as part of the Diesel Legends.

 

Im curious does the class 43 have destination boards i cant see them anywhere if not way is that thanks.

 

They don't. Don't know about GW but the East Coast sets used to have a slip of paper in the door windows showing the stopping pattern.

 

Thanks for the info

 

I've just had a look on google images I can't find any images of it for the HST so it may have just been the 225s and my memory playing tricks.

The one image I did find just appears to effectively say welcome aboard.

I do know however that Grand Central HSTs had a route map in the toilet window, those sets only ever did the London-Sunderland route I believe

 

Yes the HST’s only ever used paper window labels on the drop lights to show destination and calling points and towards the end the TOC’s didn’t bother, presumably to save costs. No PIS in the saloons either, very much 1970’s tech in that respect which was never modernised.

 

I think and hope so. It wouldn't make sense to announce it during the TSW5 reveal otherwise. I'll be cheeky and say I kinda wish they held off announcing it till it was a few months away at most but that's just me.

 

GWR used them right until the very end, usually found in the end window in carriages.

 

Well I am really looking forward to this remaster. Thank you again Liam

Sorry Liam, trying to wrap my head around this. No Changes to Original timetable but we are getting a new timetable? I don't understand it. Maybe someone will explain to me.

 

I was thinking the same thing

 

I think he means that the original time table will remain separate, should anyone wish to use it. Like of like east coast way and cathcart. They got new timetables, but they didn't overwrite the old ones.

 

Ahhhh Okay. Thanks for that Bob! Now I understand it. Appreciate it.

 

I assume you'll select the timetable you want to use when you go into timetable mode. Various routes do this.

 

Yea I get it now as Bob just explained.

 

Hide? Thats just the beginning of TSW6s new big core feature. Instead of painfully do a time consuming walk from one platform to another via the downpass, the teleport cone as a new feature allows players to cross instant. So no need for the walkway gimmicks.

Seriously, im ok with route hopping as kind of the unfulfilled alternative to extensions / mergers, but having that LOVE symbol in the middle, ruins my immersion everytime from new.

Suggestion: why not making the route hopping point on a ticket office or a convenient location? Npc with a sign or a special board on the wall, or a bus station nearby?

Its solved in the worst possible way in terms of immersion. Cheap dmn glowing comic cone...

 

Speaking of the Diesel Legends pack, will the scoring issues on the timetable be fixed?

As it stands currently, it's impossible to get a Gold medal on any express runs with the Western due to the removal of several Go Via markers that each awarded +500 AP. When they were removed, I don't think the scoring thresholds were lowered to accommodate the loss of the additional AP you gained from those markers.

 

This sounds fantastic!

One question I can’t see that’s been asked/answered (although I might have missed it) will the HSTs have appropriate nameplates? Maybe not the ‘Castle’ plates they wore later on, but some from around 2017?

 

Desperately needed Liam.

 

I've had a thought - perhaps a long shot but could there be any chance of 43002 and 43185 making appearances in their anniversary liveries - both were done in 2016.

 

They say good things come to those who wait
