Route Wcml Trent Valley: Milton Keynes - Crewe Add-on Feedback Thread

Between Lichfield and Colwich it was on the Down Slow and between Stafford and Crewe it was on the Down Fast

 

Had the same thing on the Down Slow between Lichfield and Stafford. Occasionally on the Down Fast between Stafford and Crewe.

This now is where AABS / DTG can show us how closely they’re listening and if they are get a fix out to sort these issues out.

 

PC Steam, playing on the full timetable with my usual 'baseline' mods (including but not limited to God Mode, Jetwash's lighting mod using the WCMLS settings until such time as he updates it), various train mods I have (including class 350 branding) plus a couple of route-specific mods that have already appeared on TSC.

Really enjoying this route, so much detail and it runs perfectly fine on my Ryzen 7 5800X and 4070 Ti Super; 1440p capped at 50fps, with Nvidia Smooth Motion doubling to an effective 100fps max. After an initial shader caching run of the whole route in an 807 yesterday evening, I did a run from MK to Rugby this lunchtime in a 390 (service 1H12). Pretty smooth running, SM reported 90-100fps for most of the run, just the occasional hitch as a new tile is loaded (par for the course).

The only bug I noticed was the PIS screens inside the 390; while the screens on the outside were correctly showing the next stop (Rugby while I was driving, Stafford after getting to Rugby), I noticed on going back to Free Roam after giving up the service that the screens on the inside all said that the next stop was Milton Keynes Central. I'll have to check if that was mod-related though.

 

Anyone able to get a Holyhead from MK timetable service working on PC? I specifically tried 1D83 but it seems to think it's an AI service on the live map and therefore doesn't allow me to take over when I get in the cab

 

Honeymoon period for this route may be nearly over

Just tried my first Class 807 run. 1513 off Milton. Blurrry textures from Nuneaton to Crewe. Very little AI traffic. Out of memory error CTD at Crewe. Speed set is a mystery to me on the unit. Can’t see any noticeable difference to the 805. Think there’s a missing AWS on Down Fast near Colwich.

Xbox series X. Full timetable.

 

Xbox Series S

 

Thats because there are no route maps as collectibles.

Rugby balls, Narrow boats in bottles, Wheelsets, Hot potatoes and Model Class 807's are the collectables. 200 in total.

I've noticed this too, but although the display changes to 0mph, the 807 maintains speed correctly. On a subsequent speed change, I was able to enter the new speed and it carried on working, showing the speed on the display as long as I didn't switch to an external view.
Interestingly, viewing the map screen maintains the speed set display when you close the map screen and return to cab view.

That said, I LOVE this route, a real gamechanger so thanks to the devs for all their hard work. I'm sure that with a mammoth project like this, a few niggles will slip out. Up to us to let them know in the kindest possible way .

 

This was on PS5

 

PS5…first full run northbound all the way from MK, crashed at station throat in Crewe.

 

A minor one from me, in the Trent Valley Wayfinding scenario, stopped at the signal approaching Stafford I tabbed the signaller and got a “Train off path” message. Fortunately the signaller cleared and I was able to enter the station and finish.

And now a more major one and first slight disappointment. Started a southbound 350/4 run from Crewe, cab windows open. So far it seems none or very few of the bridges over the line have reverb enabled or if they have, too quiet to notice. Sorry guys but that’s not good enough. Reverb should be standard on all routes now going forward, plus now the Czechs have shown it’s possible, rumble and clatter passing over structures too.

 

Vern that pendolino non stop jon was the 18.17 from Milton Keynes.

 

Every shunting job with blue 66 I just dumped at a station nowhere near i need to be.

 

Wow a full 1hour and 10 min service from Milton to crewe not a sole on the train accept the driver lol

 

Cuz it wasn't the fish train!
