Train Sim World: Great Western Express Feedback Thread

[JayTwoPointOh]

Provide feedback and report any issues you may have experienced whilst playing Great Western Express here!

[Sugary ♥]

Not sure if someone has reported it yet but the night headlights on the class 166 are so dim that they don't light up the railroad not one bit. I doubt it's that dim in real life, although I could be wrong. I would happily see this issue addressed along with other bugs that people have reported here. Even with the bugs though I'm loving this game! I'm sure it will get even better. :)

Train Brake pipes between the Power Car and TGS are joined red to yellow, and yellow to red. Wrong!. ETS jumper hangs down from Power Car. The HST vehicles, and those of the 166s don't have their ETS jumpers connected by cables. On one HST rake, the leading PC was only physically connected to the TF by the couplings. There were no Brake Pipe or ETS connections at all!.

But that would mean that they'd have to announce that it was not tested properly, and was not ready for release. Oh, hang on, TSW itself is still faulty after all this time. That was supposedly tested before the 'Beta release' ...

Patch in planning ???

Sometimes the passengers loading freezes after unlocking the doors. Unlocking the doors on the wrong side seems to be the workaround!

There are some things I would like to add.
Bugs:
*Weird shadow glitches, sometimes there are random black lines across the ground or black bars.
*FPS is pretty bad, having to turn down the settings to Medium, Low, etc. is very disappointing. (FPS average: 30-40, now It's playable because I'm not completely bothered about 60FPS, but if you can turn off v-sync and set to unlimited, it should be higher than 30-40FPS)
*And the game has improved loading times? Not really, it still takes a good few minutes to get into the game.
*When switching cameras, it sometimes loads for too long, instead of switching quickly, and sometimes, if you sit in a seat on the train, switch to outside mode and go back in, you end up in the middle of the train and not in the same seat. Even as far as nearly falling out the train.

Ideas/suggestions:
*Destination displays should display when the next train will arrive, instead of being empty or blank.
*The game is way too quiet, You can barely hear the train, tutorials, etc. Even though everything in the settings is on 100%, you can't hear anything.
*Another relation to sound, the Class 166 basically has no sound, I understand that's the point, but even a simple ding or something to indicate the engine is on, I spent ages figuring out if the train was even ready to go.
*Possibly be able to interact with lifts and use them at the stations? Maybe animated and functioning escalators too?
*Announcements; being able to hear what the next station is, when it's coming up, and the ability to set this stuff up yourself, would be nice.

I understand the ideas/suggestions aren't major things, but would be a nice thing to be seen in the game, they just add to that realism just that little bit more.

Also as a nice to have thing that is totally uneccasry but would be cool is a catchable tube service from the already made (but unseviced due to no tube train) London Paddington tube station, then following the short 3 stop route that appears as part of this route. The train wouldn't have to be controllable, just enterable for passengers. Royal Oak (which is already modelled) is a beutiful place to trainspot services out of Paddington which is only a single stop along. It is a huge break in immersion to have to walk/run along the track for a mile.

I'd already be happy with a "minicab" (Jump to option) in service mode.
Try getting home from finishing a freight working at Acton Main Line after just missing both of the hourly stopping trains.
It's either the best part of an hour waiting for a train (not exactly a lot of fun in inclement weather)
or going for a long trackside walk.

Firstly, very impressed with GWE, with the verstility and the variety of the game and the quality graphics. I also echo what some users are saying with the issues/teething probs eg sound ...etc. One thing I did noticed no smoke from the exhuast from any of the trains which seems to be missing, but on the whole very impressed. p.s hope GWE expands. Thank you DTG.

[DampWool]

Ctrl+7 track stop indicators not working in service mode.
4E03 service listed as 4O00 in timetable document.

[Makkarasiili]

It would be nice if sometime later there could be an extension part for this route and it would continue from reading to penzance and the route would include a couple of trains such as gwr class 57 night riviera and class 220 voyager in cross country coloring.

1. Window Glare... Is this a glitch?

is this glare intentional or is it a glitch in the glass?

2. Dial Needles

There is an issue with being able to see the needles on the speed dial e.g. on the HST speed dial. The dial lighting is not illuminating the needles correctly.

3. Train Horns

Yep is not working for me either on the 66. The 166 and 43's works but sometimes cuts out.

4. No Brake Release Hissing

There is no hiss upon brake release. I am sure that there is currently no hissing brakes on any loco. They really need to be added.

Grey Cube

There is also a grey cube appearing under the 166.

5. HST Power Amps are always going to 100%

No matter what power setting you have it always sets to 100% power. Even though it seems to accelerate correct.

6. Sound Glitch

The sounds are very nice indeed. However there does seem to be an issue with the outside sounds being heard inside.... which is annoying and get muddled up.

7. Class 166 Mark on window - (Added 19/09/17)

The rest of the window appears fine but this patch stops you from seeing out correctly. I think it also appears on a lot of other windows too.

The Wish List

It looks fabulous but I would like to see for example the signals shine on the body of the trains as they pass. I know that's not a priority but would be nice.

1. Other Operators

Already we do need to see other locos coming into Paddington from other operators. It will liven up the route even more.

2. Wheel Squeel

It would be nice to hear some squeal sounds when going slow over the points etc.

3. Headlight Glare

Would others like to see some glare off the headlights and tail lights of the HST / 166 / 66?

Next Loco's

..... Got to plug the 37 and 47... Hint.

I am getting in heavy haul, the game never wants to stay at a fixed brightness, and will keep flashing between different brightness states


Normal


Bright


Even brighter

I never played heavy haul before GWE came out, so i don't know if it would have been an issue before the update.

I'm getting this since the GWE update along with Unreal Engine 4 crashes and bizarre screen freezing in cab view on the Sand Patch.

I am getting the screen light/dark issues as well and the screen lockup issues while switching camera views in / out of cab with the AC4400 since the update.

After the patch and installation of the route the game does not start at all. I see first logos from DTG and then my monitor shows that it's out of sync and I get just a black screen. By pressing the Windows-Key to get back to the desktop I can just see for a short time that TSW runs at some very low resolution and asks me to log in, but does not remember my settings. So whats the matter? And of course I can't log in there because I just can see the screen when I try to get back to the desktop...
