Raildriver Revolution! Train Sim World 5 Just Got REAL

[@SomeExistite]

Honestly, I don't really trust Dovetail. I bought TSW2 on Steam after playing it on Xbox One (because my gaming PC was broken) and before I got a chance to play it on PC, they released TSW3. And then they released TSW4. And Now TSW5. The game looks fine, but it's not worth it to me if the game is replaced every year with little changes and more undelivered promises.

[@someguy9422]

Yeah I agree, Definitely not buying from any developer that's just bumping out the same game every year or so. Why would they care about issues with their current game when they can just rinse and repeat releasing another one every year. Now they're charging even more money just for "early access". Yeah no thanks

[@erikwilliam1254]

My sentiments exactly. First one I was happy to give a go after playing Train Sim Classic since 2012. Then they announced the third one not long after I got TSW. By that point I knew it's just a cash grab. Rather than update the improvements to the first one, they just make a copy and slap a number on it like it's a new game.

[@weylinwest9505]

Dovetail Games is very good at making money at the cost of player satisfaction.

[@R_E_D22]

i don't get how people play tsw, i just looked on steam and its $2,634.96 for all DLC, plus they release the same thing every year

Your sleeping on run8 same price as train world 5 but has more mechanics and it's more real to life then train world 5 is you actually deliver cars to factories and got to pick them up and put them on locals and send them out to their destinations by your self or AI and if you get the other maps you can connect them all together in your game I rather have run8 graphics with real life mechanics then train world 5 with just good graphics and nothing like real life railroading

Couple points of note: BNSF GCOR (General Code of Operating Rules) 5.8.2 requires ringing the bell: * Before moving, except when making momentary stop and start switching movements * As a warning signal anytime it is necessary * When approaching men or equipment on or near the track * When approaching public crossings until the crossing is occupied Also, when you're moving light power (just the locomotives) you can use the independent brake Railway name is now just BNSF, they dropped "Burlington Northern Santa Fe" in 2005

[@Tegridyvs]

Not sure how accurate the train physics are but a little piece of advice. NEVER come off the dynamics before the automatic brakes. The dynamics keep the slack bunched up. If you stop dynamic braking while you have air, that slack will run out and you’ll for sure break a knuckle if it runs outs too hard.

[@-sargntclashroyaleandmore-491]

I don't see the point in the developers making a new TSW everytime other than to make sales. Each new version just releases new train lines and routes which you could easily implement as additional DLCs on just one TSW game. Interms of the suspension upgrade etc, they could just add that in as a patch or update.

[@TrendingHeadlinesTV]

As a prior BNSF conductor on the Cajon sub, I’m pretty sure that manifest is restricted to 45mph per GCOR. Just because the track speed says 60, it depends on the type of train cars you have.

[@mrcoakes]

when u go into dynamic and start loading u applied the automatic brake and did not bail the engine brake so you built up independant brake cylinder pressure, when this goes over 10 lbs on independant brake cylinder presure it will cut your dynamic brake loading to 0 klbps, this is improper use of blended braking, also if you apply automatic brake you can not back off to reduce it you can only goto release and try again after air recovers, this is because the electronic brake valve is in freight position.

Hey Jeff! Glad to see you are keeping well and I need to do a lot of catching up with your vids lately, family life getting in the way of doing any large amount of video watching :D I've just found out that I can get a 'free' upgrade from TSW3 to TSW5, thanks Dovetail for listening to the community on these upgrades (they should be free for everyone who bought a copy of the game previously, in all honestly) I'm baffled why they have a time limit on this upgrade, but thankfully I found out about it now just in time! Anyway, I've just ordered myself a Raildriver and super excited to get back into Train Simming when it arrives, it looks like it adds a lot of immersion!

I love this TSW collection. The graphics are awesome. I am still on train Simulator Classic and I know how you feel about that Sim... I still enjoy it and my CPU can only handle that one unfortunately. Keep up the awesome work and all that you do for us and the world of simulations.

I really enjoyed your Derail Valley vids from last summer and was actually watching those again a few days before you went live with TSW5. Would be cool to see more routes in this game.

Can I ask whether or not the raildriver can be setup in game now? I mean so you can set the buttons yourself for the functionality you need. Kind of like in Train Simulator Classic? I told myself not to buy any new version until this is fixed, or that you get 1 setting for all the locomotives. I just don't know why you need different buttons for camera views depending on what locomotive you drive.

[@kensingtonchapp4819]

I REALLY wish we could run real trains up the hill at 55 😂. More common is between 14 and 19mph so I'm jealous. The 30 curve at 7th St. becomes a 55mph zone, then up to 70. We have two freight trains capable of reaching 70 up that part of the hill but they're rare to catch. You've got to check a bunch of stuff on the trailing units, but you mostly got it. Fun fact: the gen field switch should be down on all trailing units, and all the units you have in the "run" position will start automatically with just the reverser in fwd or rev from the lead unit. It's called AESS, automated engine start system. I run Cajon pass in real life every day and this is shockingly accurate

Hey Jeff your videos are really good and yeah you're right the game could use a little bit more work but it's not terrible

I'd recommend the game Railroader since it's not really a train sim, it kind of an operational sim.
