Train Sim World 3 - Route Learning: St Pancras to Ashford International (Class 395) // 4k60fps

[@PTGRail]

Notes for this video: 1. Apologies for the lack of external shots of the train moving at high speed. This is incredibly difficult in TSW when trains are going 100mph or more, as you can't pause the game and move the free cam at the same time. The train simply moves too fast for you to get ahead with the camera! 2. Apologies for the green box to the right of the image at the start of some video clips. This is caused by Nvidia ShadowPlay indicating the recording has started, and I forgot to cut some of them out!

[@hyzwar]

Games like this deserve more camera options for sure. Great video, like always 👍

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

@@hyzwar hopefully the newer versions of the game will allow for better videos to be made for those who like to make recorded routes. You would think they may have a mode just for those who love making route videos because there is so many cool things they could do for this/that format.

[@kamilpiorkowski7809]

Thanks for that video. TSW hits the sweet spot for me. I'm a truck driver and areas like Kent, Nordrhein-Westfallen, Kassel, Dresden, Leipzig I visit basically every week due to them being the fastest route from Poland to UK. Seeing them in different perspective while recognizing the surroundings from the real world is a really nice feeling. Im glad you came back to making videos again. You're proffesional.

[@PTGRail]

Dziekuje! I visit Poland quite often and love the railways you have there. Thanks for your comment :)

For anyone wondering the hiss at 160kmph is a horn change making the horn slightly louder due to the higher speed (faster than 100mph or 160kmph)

I wonder if anyone was wondering.... 😄

Thank you! 😊

[@transportationuk7656]

He only makes videos when he has time off as a signaller. Makes sense. Work is more important than KZbin.

[@thecyberleaderwhufc]

Hey when’s the next one mind asking

[@Pc-fs7vc]

Hi, how do you get around learning routes to be able to play without using the HUD? I've wanted to do this for a while but have never put in any serious effort into it. Is it driving the route initially with the HUD on and taking mental/physical notes of where key features are such as stations, signals, landmarks, braking points, etc?

[@mlx39996]

Basically, yes. Take actual notes, you will never remember the mental ones. Next time you drive the route, you can further refine your braking points. Drive with the HUD on and get a basic idea of how far you have to brake. For example, when route learning the London-Brighton route, I knew that from 90mph, I should brake at about between 1.5-1.3 miles from the station. I’d take notes of any landmarks at those points, and go from there.

[@cptlatency428]

Brilliant video!👍 I have to say I'm loving the extended Southeastern network, especially the Dartford branch

[@Doug4817]

Thank you for your video. I am normally a flight simmer, but I have really enjoyed this ride and will definitely obtain this Sim World 3 and maybe one day pass you on one of the routes

[@kamana6435]

Great video and I think you showcased the route really well and I love the extra details you add about the names of the infrastructure and other route details. Hope this gets added to the TSW3 in Game Tutorial Video link section as a mini-route guide or something.

[@Z50000]

Hi, at 26:50 there are two black boards that come from the french signalling system. These are called « coupez courant », for cut (traction) current, french translation for a neutral section. This section of track must be passed with all MCBs opened, or for some units, pantographs lowered. You didn’t mention them as I think these are not mentionned anywhere in the route manual, furthermore the TVM 430 system allows for these neutral sections to be managed automatically by the train (we call this a « ponctuelle », for punctual route information), unfortunately this hasn’t been simulated. Maybe in future videos you could talk about this particular thing of this new route ! And as a french train driver I can assure you there will be huge electrical problems on the line if you pass neutral sections with 100% power 🤣

[@PTGRail]

I’m aware of the existence of neutral sections on UK routes with overhead electrification, but didn’t realise they were present on this route. I can see those boards now you mention it! In the UK, the train driver is supposed to cut power to idle to pass through a neutral section. I didn’t realise the TVM system can manage these automatically, but like you said they haven’t been simulated in TSW. I will bear this in mind for future videos though! :)

[@paulmark63]

A very well done a great ride well done Paul in Kent

[@whippy107]

Wow, I wish I were skilled enough to drive without the HUD like you do; that looks like great fun. Great job, and thanks for the video!

[@gazza2933]

I'd never make a train driver. This is far too relaxing and zzZZZ Looks fantastic, by what I've seen so far. 👍

[@PinguWingu]

I love you videos mate, we need more!!

Great vid! 😁

[@pansearedducklet9054]

Been waiting on this oneee!

[@GooseWaffe]

Ever thought of reading audio books? 😂 All seriousness nice video and thank you so much for taking the time to do these. Learning isn’t always slow and the process to record and edit takes time. You even add little apology notes to the comments. All in all you’re a great creator. Hope you have a nice day

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

I used to watch all of these videos a few years ago. They were all I thought about - it's been some time. If you ever make it back I hope its on the latest Train Sim World... Of course you (ptgrail) went away for a time and came back for a short time. Loved watching this videos but I hope if you come back you start making videos where you utilize the trains announcers voice like you only did on a few videos - There are other things you didn't due you could because one day when I am in the right situation, I hope to make videos just like this myself as I got so many ideas from watching yours. I'd like more dialogue - for instance the tunnels could be spoken on and when and were you enter nation parks (maybe why they are national parks) and famous structures trackside could also have comments about them - but I have thought of so many more things...

[@True_NOON]

Would be interesting for Preston - Blackpool North

[@HezyTech]

We want more videos!

[@FabianEason]

According to dadrail (youtube channel) the notches on the class 395 are for guidance only, and that power control is actually continuously variable

[@transportlegendshorts]

Please add more videos I luv u :))

I watched your Sherman Hill route learning video to help me with the route in Tsw I can now do it without the hud. Keep up the great content.

@PTGRail you forgot to mention after Ebsfleet International to Ashford International the line's maximum permitted speed is 300 kph and you also forgot to mention that DTG added one Driveable TGV service as a test service but it only appears if you've got TGV route installed for TSW3.

[@britishfilmguy]

Probably find they've added four driveable test runs for us to do on there.

Talking of high speed I would give money to which ever company who did a Train Sim World version of the Japanese High Speed Rail Network... Tokyo to Osaka via Hiroshima would do just fine.... :) It is one of the fastest lines in the world. I think their top speed is 300kmh...

[@unkelartgarf3792]

I'll consider buying TSW3 when I see a video that isn't packed full of audio and visual stutters.

[@PTGRail]

Any audio stutters are caused by Nvidia Shadowplay, rather than the game itself. FPS drops seem to happen when the weather changes, but it’s not game breaking for sure.

[@nateayi]

I think it might just be your computer. I haven't seen any visual stutters apart from the occasional FPS drop.

[@droge192]

Don't know how I feel about the sponsorship by DTG. Sponsorship I have no issues with. But DTG steering the direction of this fine channel according to their agenda (often dubious) is a cause for concern.

[@PTGRail]

DTG aren’t steering the direction of this channel. They’ve sponsored me to make two videos, both of which are now complete. :)

[@thessalonician]

I'm not buying anything else from Dovetail... Same graphics, physics, trains, with the previous ones. Just a different number after the title. I bet that next year will ask you for more money for Train Sim World 4... TS2023... and on and on..
