Riviera Route & Xc Class 220 Voyager Announced

This dlc is fast becoming battle of the seats. Because honestly I'd really rather miss the Voyager after the 5 hour+ trip to Bangor from Euston one day. It was torture, they're so uncomfortable!

Although I think I've only done an IET once, down to Plymouth actually but don't really remember the comfort. What I will say is that after spending countless hours on the Bluebell in the mk1s and the metropolitan set that is how seating should be done

Then again Southern aren't much better down my end. The ironing boards on the 377s and previously the 313s are dreadful.

 

I hate auto correct. I meant Penzance. Sorry

 

Now that I think about it, maybe that’s what the Class 47 and Mk3 layer is! They are doing that for the GWR Remaster.

 

set myself up there

 

Only on a Tuesday!

 

Ok please could you give to link to the Paignton line to Kingswear as l will purchase it immediately. Thank you!

 

It's coming in TSW6 lol. Not available to buy just now. Only preorder.

 

That's that pre-ordered and installing! Looking forward to it.

 

Nice to know they changed the 220 pic with the actual class 220 and not the Leipzig - Dresden BR 411.

 

Yes I reported that when it got sent out. Glad it's fixed, and with more screenshots too now.

 

We can expect a ghost town timetable then!

 

Oosh. Don’t forget Tyler (I think his name was) is now the de facto timetable guy / face of the company, at Rivet. Let’s see what becomes of it!

 

He did a fantastic job on the new BCC timetable so don’t have any concerns about his timetable for this one.

 

Do the 801s drive pretty much the same as the 802s.

 

Pretty much, though there will be slower acceleration etc. on the 802s as they are diesel, and probably slightly longer to decelerate as the train may be heavier with more GUs. Just all depends on how the physics are set up really.

 

Thanks for the info

 

You're welcome!

 

Did they say how many freight jobs layer into the route

 

Dawlish Looks Nice

 

Any Black Swans on the river? And the clotted cream ice cream parlour!

 

On electric mode they should handle largely identically, the 802 might just accelerate a little slower given the extra weight of the engines but not by much. Diesel mode however will make it feel a lot more sluggish. It can still reach the same 125mph but it takes a lot longer to get there, and it will also be slower when pulling away from a stop because even if you go to full throttle from a standstill, it takes a few seconds for the engines to actually spin up. Braking between them is largely identical regardless of power mode, and the cab layout I believe is also identical save for maybe a few stickers or button colours which are just operator specific changes.

 

Watch it have camera barriers like that one germany route set in the 1990s with a really good lake section but huge amount of camera barriers because they hate us

 

They should get rid off the invisible barriers so we can explore every inch of the route we pay for that route at least let explore it in full.

 

The problem is that a small proportion of numpties then sit on the forums and social media posting pictures taken out of bounds picking holes at scenery that was never part of the original route. The old problem of giving people too much freedom and they abuse it.

 

Your right but just wish we could explore a bit more.

 

If your on PC there is a mod that removes some invisible walls.

 

Im on xbox

 

Yep

 

Lucky them, they get sales and mods

 

Here's hoping that Gay's creamery is modelled

 

A week to go before early access, probably the most excited I’ve been for a TSW DLC. One of my favourite DLC’s in TSC. And personally, one of my favourite parts of the UK, having spent nearly every year down there on holiday on the English Riviera. There’s nothing else like it.

Fingers crossed, there’s a good number of services, we’re not talking a busy commuter route but it still has its fair share of services!

 

To be honest, its so cool to be able to look at an image of random track and know exactly where it is. I've never experienced this before.
I can't wait for the preview stream, it feels like every day is a year.

 

I really do feel DTG are missing a trick in regard to mods. If consoles can support them, this is just another revenue stream to be taken advantage of. I would happily pay a tenner for ‘god mode’ or a soundpack etc. It’s also a little ridiculous what is available on TSC (a 20 year old game) compared to TSW.

 

Wouldn't be upto microsoft or Sony to allow mods on consoles.

 

Had a clotted cream ice cream from there last week. Was delicious

 

Yes, DTG hate the very people who give them money to buy their products

What is wrong with you?

 

What’s wrong with you?
Because if they actually cared about us 90% of the bugs and terrible things like pointless camera barriers wouldn’t be there like I’m not asking for full free access camera but to have a better placements of barriers because like getting lake shots with the db br 103 on it’s home route is next to impossible on console with that terrible barrier

 

I’m massively looking forward to this route, but I’m trying to keep my expectations low. I would not be surprised if a significant patch was pushed a few months after release as it was with WCML South. Basic things such as the ballast colour being generic grey around Dawlish, when it’s far from this colour in real life. I don’t know, maybe I’m just being picky.

 

Honestly I'm hyped for THIS route

 

Can't be any more excited for a TSW route than I have been for this, Days before my birthday too. Probably going to get it from day one.

 

No, you’re not. Its one of the 1st things I plan to address, as soon as I get my hands on it. Rusty coloured ballast and rails. Its not just the sea wall area its throughout the south west.

 

What is the cheapest option to just get this route and the voyager? Is it free starter pack and buy the routes/ loco separate ?

 

Yes, free starter pack, £30 route & I think it’s £12 for the 220, but max would be £15 based on past pricing, so £45 tops.

Only other method is to buy deluxe at £60 or wait for sales.

 

Voyager is £12.99, so yes, claiming the free starter pack and then purchasing the route and train separately would be cheapest, at £42.98.

 

Going in blind into this route..very excited

 

Poor 8th gen again. FAQ's have been updated. I'm pretty sure this is the last version for them.

Platform Differences:

• PS4/Xbox One – There will be no additional services (playable or AI) from layered content from other Add-ons.
• Xbox Series S – You will get the full experience
• PS5, Xbox Series X and PC - You will get the full experience

 

At this rate they should just axe gen 8 because they ain’t going to get their money’s worth

 

Somewhat disingenuous only saying that now because realistically some gen 8 players could have preordered based on the now false assumption they would get the same experience as everyone else. Granted, at least they get to drive all included trains, unlike Liepzig

 

To be honest they should have realised by now that would be the case after tsw 5

 

Anyone still playing on a Gen 8 console, I’d strongly recommend now is the time you upgrade, otherwise you’re going to get left behind.

With more detailed routes and timetables coming out, this is going to become an ever increasing occurrence, with last Gen consoles only receiving the bare minimum, which leads to an inferior experience.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some future route will not even support last Gen consoles, as they’re really getting on now.
