I really have to say, the new skybox is amazing! Thanks a lot for londonmidland for creating the mod, and DTG to implement it into the game officially. Finally, the game isn't jarringly bright or one-colored as soon as clouds appear. I previously used the gamma .ini setting to have the game a little bit easier on the eyes, but thanks to this combined effort between community and developer, the game looks much better now in my opinion.
I restarted a saved game (on Tharandter Rampe) and just got dropped into the middle of the tracks, no train!
Has the reserved collection update been cancelled or rolled back? I don't really see static trains and PIS on SKA, only the skybox update is in effect.
Same issue here, played NTP saved after Huddersfield, yesterday or the day before. After unticking the advert thingie feature when starting TSW2 today, Creators Club is unavailable (it says so on the main screen, I don't use it anyway), and the resume save button has only the route name shown, not the service. Spawn in on foot. A bit annoying really.
Can we expect to see the first batch of pres updates to be included and released alongside Rivet's route release next week, as there's usually a pre-preparation update prior to a new route release? I would've expected to see at least a couple of pres crew updates released by now. The clock is ticking...
The top of the list of the preservation crew at the last roadmap was Bakerloo & Koln-Aachen. So we *technically* got preservation updates but it doesn't feel like it counts. So if things haven't moved around, we should hopefully see more updates to the routes next week with Lurzen, the next 3 in the list were: Main-Spessart Bahn, East Coast Way and Munich.
Hopefully there will also be bug fixes to Harlem. The M7A has the same issue with the M7 on LIRR with sound cutting out. AI trains don't have working pis and don't have passenger lights turned on. Track noise is low and nonexistent and the M7A is overpowered when at full throttle from zero in game. It doesn't accelerate that fast in reality
I also noticed on stream that despite Matt stopping way beyond the stop marker, he still got 500 points.
It was the blue stop marker. Also, others have reported being able to get 500 points despite not stopping in the exact place +/- 2 meters of the stop marker on the platform.
Well here my opinion about the Bakerloo update this week: They touched this route literally the 3rd time with rush hour, the 72 stock gameplay dlc, and with this weeks update. --> Stopping point is still wrong at willesden junction and north wembley. How hard can it be...., just sloppy and lazy, no other words anymore. Reported 1000 times.
Would a driver go straight to full throttle in real life though? That’s not how most trains are driven. If you do that in game you will speed up faster than a real train driven by a real driver.
My uncle is a driver for metro north and he does indeed go full throttle when leaving stations. Drivers don't have to do that though. He drives on the new haven line and did a stint on the hudson line. He took me for a ride along with him once when he was working on the Hudson line. That was a nice experience
Yes when a shoe doesn't make contact with the third rail, power does cut out which is realistic. The issue with the m7a's sound is that when the train is moving, the propulsion cuts out in parts of the train when all of the train's shoes are connected to the third rail which is the same issue in lirr. In reality that shouldn't happen. All of the cars on the m7a should have propulsion noise. Like how the electrostars do in game
