Gwe Remaster: Appreciation And Discussion Thread

ah i see. thats a ashamed but much understandable.
if this is available for livery editor (unsure mods applies too) then we could've people make branded liveries with it along side a somewhat closer accurate interior.

 

DTG Liam will Westbourne park be accessible?

 

Presumably you meant the Heathrow Express one has a different layout, as the GWR and Gatwick Express units are identical interior-wise to my knowledge (bar the colours)?

 

DTG Liam when will the update come out

 

when it is ready it will come out
but it would be nice as an x-mass present but i guess not i see above here

 

The only thing I can see that might be before the new year is the Leven Branch extension. But that is a big maybe.

Asides from the MBTA and JT WCML already anounced that will probably be it for the year. Things slow down over Xmas and the new year so don't expect anything until February. Or even a January roadmap.

And WCML timetable fix won't be this year either. So taper your expectations

 

I don't think DTG ever said that the WCML timetable was being fixed.

 

As per October roadmap.

Additionally, as a longer term project, our teams have been working on a wider plan of WCML timetable improvements, including adding new services to the route. These timetable changes do not have a timeline for release yet, and when we have more details we will let you know. As a note, currently these changes are planned for PC, XSX, and PS5 platforms.

 

Thanks Liam
The route deserves it.

 

Oh nice. Thank you!

 

Oh I missed that. My mistake.

 

So I guess then that the Heathrow Express ones will only have the colours changed inside, without the new first class seats or removed tables?

 

I think the Heathrow express one would have first class as Liam said there are different interiors for each 387.

 

so does that we have the right coluar interior for the stock

 

Do you know if RHTTs are coming to the WCML route?

 

Hi Liam,
Thank you for doing the timetable chganges and updates to the route., Can I ask that in Wembley Yard (during these changes,) Can you please remove or "thin out" 5 or 6 rakes of lazily placed intermodal wagons. And please can we have a few more sporadic wagons appear around the yard as well as locos?
Looking forward to seeing this and the GWR remaster

Cheers
Hentis

 

Maybe save direct questions about the WCML to a WCML specific thread? Liam has kindly taken time to reply in depth about the upcoming GWE remaster and in my opinion shouldn't be bombarded with questions about a separate route. He has given an adequate response, so just leave off with all the WCML stuff. All that stuff will most likely be answered in relevant threads related to the WCML. This isn't really the place to be asking those questions.

Let's just focus about the topic, GWE, and be grateful that Liam takes time out of his day to respond in depth to our questions and always keeping us upto date with its development.

 

Didnt know Dovetail had handed out Forum Mod positions.

 

Hopefully we will get to see some new screenshots in Tuesdays roadmap article. My fingers are itching so much to drive on the new version.

 

It doesn't need a moderator to point out where etiquette is missing...

Back on the subject of the remaster of GWE, hopefully we get a few more sneak peaks in the upcoming road map. I'm probably just as excited for this as I am with JTs release.

 

I second that.

 

Are there any changes to the position of the windscreen wipers/seated position on the 165?

 

They're too high to clear the screen properly when raining. Though that could be prototypical; I don't know.

 

We currently have a 166 on the route. Did Liam say we are getting a 165 variant? I may have missed this.

 

From what I understand (and I'm probably wrong), yes and no, the 165 will appear in game but I think it's just a modified 166 to appear as a 165, so not every DMU service is a three car set.

 

Really looking forward to the update. Hope it’s coming soon. Would be nice to get before Christmas.

 

As quoted below, not this year.

 

Would it be theoretically possible to create child objects (or whatever the TSW equivalent of them is) which would create the outline for the hopper windows on the 165s? When JT modified the Kuju 166 and turned it into a 165 they weirdly didn't do it, and the main visual difference between the two classes is the difference in hopper windows. Even if the interior stays the same, a renumbered 166 would be more convincing as a 165 if the hopper windows were hacked in so to speak.

 

Will the air traffic on the route land into Heathrow from the West, or from the East, or will it alternate depending on the wind direction?

 

With every little bit of information about the GWE remaster.
Air traffic.
It just gets better and better.
Really appreciate all the news, from Liam and all involved,not forgetting elarthur.

 

Bit of a random question, but will there be services that terminate at Slough and use the terminating platform there?

 

Thanks for the mention. Not sure how I deserve any recognition, I simply shared my personal knowledge of the route, particularly the Eastern half (Paddington to Slough). Totally agree that every piece of information makes this remaster sound better and better. I only hope to be teased a little more on Tuesday.

 

I'm looking forward to this route, I will be more critical than other routes. But its because its my local route. Don't be surprised if you see lots of picky information

 

Nice one! Will be so good to have these services.

Brings back memories of Rail Simulator days where one of the 166 scenarios is to take train from Slough to Paddington and back!

 

You showed what could be done with the GWE.And helped inspire the rest of us, with enthusiasm for the route.
I'll look forward to seeing it's eventual release.
Hope we see a few new screenshots too.

 

DTG Liam will their be railtours such as the flying scotsman in the remaster?

 

Brilliant.

DTG Liam

thank you for all your work on the GWE remaster really looking forward to it coming.

 

Anymore updates on the release of the gwe remaster

 

Believe it's slightly behind schedule as Liam took time out to help on WCMLS. But should be sometime early next year.

 

will all sevices be availble for gen8 console

 

Very unlikely. My best guess is that the version for the Xbox One and PS4 will cut out the Underground and 387 services along with any 'bonus' services, but we'll have to wait and see.
