It comes across in these videos how much Jess loves her job. Please make this an ongoing series!

[@ThomasSilva-el3yq]

I agree

[@kionay007]

To be honest dovetail, I wouldn't look to add anything else to the game until you sort out all the errors and inconsistencies this experienced driver pointed out to you!

[@RetroJack]

Well said!

[@SolarPeel]

They’ll make like 3 changes and charge everyone £70 and call it a new game

[@CazTanto]

I hope you guys are taking notes 😂 The info she is giving you is absolute gold. And some things seem like simple updates and fixes - such as which way round the train is, or having the rear pan raised. I know these aren't bugs, just a details thing, so not a huge priority. However, it would be nice to see her knowledge put to use.

[@norbe1]

Jess is my new favorite KZbinr 😂

[@Plorxium]

Wow I wasn't even expecting a part 2 but I really enjoyed the first part and hearing all the in-depth knowledge Jess has about the route in the last one.

You weren’t expecting a part 2 when the first one was called part 1…. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Plorxium]

@@967jamesbaird i watched the first part on my phone and it doesn't show the whole title, didn't notice this until i went on my pc

[@kendalley2314]

… sounds to me like the dlc producers need real train drivers on their team during development if they want to call this a simulation as in Train Sim World … Jess is great👌

[@alexanderelliott3013]

I am platform staff for TPE seeing theses insights into the drivers eye view is brilliant keep up the great work Jess

[@SJAEDM]

Jess has an informative but relaxing style of delivery/narration.

[@stevieinselby]

Great to see Jess taking the game apart 😂 One question I have about stopping at the end of the platform - yes, you need to go far enough along that the rear doors aren't hanging off the end of the platform - but why does that mean you need to do right to the end? At Selby (s-bound), it means the rear carriage has gone past the end of the platform canopy, meaning that if it's raining, everyone has to get wet! Hull Trains with exactly the same model of train stop at the 5-car marker meaning that they're alongside the canopy where everyone is waiting.

[@homyk1996]

I work as an electric train driver in Russia and fell madly in love with this simulator. Huge greetings to all from the Moscow railway!😉😉😉

I find this very interesting as you can now see the game in a completely different way. I've wouldn't of known even half of what jess knows its incredible

[@King-Kaye-Games]

she is a GEM to watch. ill watch anything she drives thanks for the content.

[@philipreed2758]

love watching the videos and seeing that it is like real world as a given from someone with actual experience, i was going to say congrats on fixing the looking up into the air, but at 13mins in i see your still looking for planes lol. i am currently playing this on the PC, and find it much easier to control. you should get a setup. and be good to hear what some of the shortcut keys are. my veiws using a mouse never look up to the sky for no reason. loving the videos.

[@liambloxsome3098]

Jess is so cool, bring her back for another video 😎

[@themessiah7542]

The rear panto can be raised by hitting the lower panto button and then going onto the TMS, finding Panto. Selection and clicking the rear panto box and hitting confirm, however the VCB light does not illuminate while the rear panto is up and if you move the reverser at all then it automatically goes down, other than that you can drive perfectly fine, I hope they at some point fix this and allow the rear panto to be the primary, but we gotta make do with what we got i guess not sure how realistic this info is but it's how it works in game

[@PopcornSimulationGaming]

Absolutely love jess please continue to do more videos there fantastic ❤

[@timrozitis961]

I didn't see Part 1 (I'll look it up), but I think his was great - of course, I assumed it was the driver's channel not the Railways' - how awesome!! (even better if it was done "on the clock")

Get a new controller , this one has controller drif

That early I had to launch the video from the X link to see it 😮‍💨

[@kendalley2314]

… re faults … just have an option in settings on/off or even select type of faults as with MSFS

[@dislecsyk991]

I remember playing this myself and thinking about how wrong they had the boards for the temporary speed restriction

[@Wilfboy]

I wonder if DTG will actually make any changes to this loco/route based on the feedback Jess has given here?

[@Flightsimmovies]

Hopefully but probably no…….

[@BigWillie585]

Jess isn't chasing anything, the signalling doesn't match what's on the line on this route, in any scenario, even free roam. She's slowing down for a phantom yellow basically.

[@kionay007]

Some of them do represent the signallers being late with a crossing or setting a route. But for the auto signals you are absolutely right!

[@stevewausa]

The sim seems to do this pretty consistently

[@Nilguiri]

I would have been nice to know what switches and which systems were being switched on at the start! Cheers.

[@LondonNorthEasternRailway]

It’s the switches labelled TPWS/AWS, Vigilance, DSD and SDO 🙂

[@Nilguiri]

@@LondonNorthEasternRailway Ah, great, I'll look them up to see what they do and try them out right now! Thanks.

[@Nilguiri]

@@LondonNorthEasternRailway This is ChatGPT's quick summary of those safety systems, if anybody's interested. I hope it's correct; you never know what you're going to get with ChatGPT! Best wishes: 1. **TPWS (Train Protection & Warning System) / AWS (Automatic Warning System) are designed to prevent accidents caused by human error, such as speeding or passing signals at danger. - TPWS/AWS monitors the train's speed and position relative to signals. If the train is approaching a signal at danger or exceeding the speed limit, TPWS/AWS triggers warnings and, if necessary, applies emergency brakes to stop the train. 2. **Vigilance**: The vigilance system ensures that the player remains attentive and engaged while operating the virtual train. - Similar to real-world vigilance systems, Train Sim 4 may periodically prompt the player to take action or acknowledge alerts to demonstrate their attentiveness. - Failure to respond within the specified timeframe could result in penalties or simulated consequences, such as a simulated loss of control or derailment, enhancing the realism and challenge of the simulation. 3. **DSD (Driver's Safety Device)**: - The DSD simulates the need for the player to interact with controls or acknowledge alerts within a certain timeframe to demonstrate their capability and alertness. - Failure to respond appropriately within the simulated timeframe could result in penalties or simulated consequences, emphasizing the importance of driver vigilance and responsiveness. 4. **SDO (Signal Passed at Danger Override)**: - In Train Sim 4, SDO may simulate the ability for the player to override signals at danger under specific circumstances, similar to its real-world counterpart. - SDO could provide a controlled means for the player to proceed past a signal at danger in emergency situations, with appropriate penalties or consequences for misuse or failure to adhere to safety protocols.

[@driver288]

Why not put the speed signs where you can accelerate instead of this weird system where you have to guess where you can accelerate depending on how many cars you have… 2,3,4,5,7,8 or 12 car configurations are common. Of different lengths of cars too.

[@BigBlueRabbit]

Because they’d have to have a sign located in the correct position for every possible train length (I’m guessing).

[@Jack-ii8vi]

Because think of the cost to maintain every one of those speed boards in the country for ever new rolling stock, length of train etc. And freight, they can vary from a light loco to 15/20 cars long.
