My question about free roam in time table. For instance when time table services are done for the night. Can I still use the time table services in free roam at night in time table. And another thing in time table can I go to other station. For instance in LIRR can I go to Long Island city and hunters point ave. In time table using free roam. What I am saying is can we go to places that we can’t normally go to in Time table free roam.
So in free roam, could I spawn the GWR Class 43 (HST) on the West Somerset Line starting at Minehead heading towards Bishops Lydeard?
In theory yes - but if there are out of bounds markers because we dont intend for those to be player explorable you might find it ending the session. If they're explorable but simply never used before then absolutely. LIC and HPA are both accessible on LIRR (there's an odd service that uses it i think) so you can spawn something there if you want and go explore. You can spawn anything on the route and go anywhere, yes. Matt.
Ok Ok thanks I’m looking forward to playing it in free roam time table services. I have every single route and local since 2020 and I’m about to have a blast playing with free roam time table.
Is there potential to warp to locations of significance (stations/depots/yards) at will? For example I might want to spawn into Paddington on GWR to drive my ICE but then decide I want to take my Arosa tram thing from Reading to er, somewhere, and having ability to warp immediately to Reading instead of 1. having to drive there or 2. Having to back all the way out of the menus and back into GWE again would be rather immense. I would see this as warping on foot only, and if a train is out leave it where it is or despawn it Leading on from that, we would obviously need to do this via the map. I know you've mentioned this before Matt, but what are the chances we will get a new (or better) map in TSW4? At a minimum I'd like to see it similarly to how the TSC one works, though maybe with the option to strip out layers of info (seeing other service headcodes would be nice, but I don't need to see switch/signal info as an example), but critical would be station names, depot/yard names and the like, along with up or down labels
Teleporting around the route - something I want to add for sure, didnt make it into this release, not sure when it will, but totally agree it adds value particularly with this mode. New map - big job, far bigger than you'd (or even I would) expect but I want to get it done when I can, not much more I can say there except i share the desire and am trying to make it happen. Matt.
A teleportation method would be such a useful thing to have, for those such as myself who love to do some virtual trainspotting within the game’s timetable mode. Especially on some routes such as Cajon Pass which have minimal spawning points! I’d love it, I’d love it, I would indeed love it.
