Train Simulator 2022: ATS & Imbue Class 185 Showcase

[@pedproductions]

Bloody hell, I don't think there's a more detailed train in TS than this!! Phenomenal. Now I'm rather excited for the flirts, well done guys!

[@purplesmurf2010]

Try the Class 460 by Master Key Sims - probably the most realistic sim of a train in TS.

[@sandermur5613]

the OEBB railjet by justtrains is also quite realistic, however it ain't a british train.

[@spitfiregaming_]

Wow, went on one recently and I can say it sounds INCREDIBLE! Much needed for TS thanks lads!

[@droge192]

Sounds are without doubt the best I've ever heard in TS. And scripting.... wow, first time attempt by the team? ... and yet you've exceeded almost everything that's come before. Amazing job!

[@tomrachellesfirstdance7843]

Just watched the full video, what a brilliant addition it looks amazing well done to everyone who worked on this. I love the announcements too great idea

Cheers mate

Bought it and did 2 scenarios last night. It's a fine beast of a train. Well done ATS guys! Love it. Can't wait for the Flirts and 80X

[@hst2153]

This is a fantastic pack. Sounds, looks and physics are spot on, nice one guys!

[@nowisimgaming4908]

Whoo, it's looks and sounds like the real train. The attention to detail of the class 185 is truly incredible. Can't wait to give this a try :-)

[@westlondontransportwildlif5810]

Great work with this Alan. Looks stunning especially in that First Transpennine Express livery. I always liked seeing the First livery on trains whether it was FGW on their 158s, 165/166s, First Capital Connect on their 365s, 377s and 313s or First Transpennine Express on their 185s. Great work Alan and keep it up!

[@BritishRail60062]

Great video Alan. I hope a North Lincolnshire route will come out for this train. I am liking the fact that ATS is starting to get a nice range of Exclusive add-ons of its own.

[@SamJames0002]

Hopefully Cleethorpes to Sheffield or vice-versa 🤞

[@drw-jd6tu]

This train is amazing, and one of few trains that have a great sensation of speed

[@dpsimulation5177]

Very nice. Congratulations to all involved!

[@sams1167]

For some reason for me the train moves as it should bus the engine doesn’t Rev. What am I doing wrong??

[@AlanThomsonsim]

Hi the train is available as a stand alone product on www.alanthomsonsim.com the route is also available at the same place. We had 2 TPE driver help throughout the build so I hope it lives up to your expectations Cheers

Just got this today and it´s definitly one of my new favourites in TS. Great DMU!

[@LilShaqX]

I love the accuracy and the top nottch quality modelling ive compared this to the real thing its probably the most accurate train in game in a while not even Armstrong could do anything nearly as good as this cos these sounds and everything are never seen before features and i love it i really must try this soon

[@AlanThomsonsim]

Kind words mate but AP will always be the level we aspire to

[@ozdazz]

This looks really good, well done, guys!

[@jackbarrowclough1739]

Oh and well bloody done. I'm very local to the 185 and it's spot on imo

Fair bloody play lads. This makes me very happy!. Fair play everyone. The small details make it! :).

[@sandermur5613]

what route is this on, and where do i get the class 185 on the alan thomson sim website?

[@AlanThomsonsim]

Yes it’s available at www.alanthomsonsim.con

[@MatthewHarding007]

I bought this on Saturday and I am so impressed, thanks Alan. P.S. These are my local trains

[@pwhitw]

Like this very much but can't get extra stock installed so can't run scenarios and can't get announcements to work for custom scenarios with the Stained Glass Refurb - so rather frustrated

[@AlanThomsonsim]

Finally an official class 185!

[@anglosaxon5874]

Used to love driving these when I worked for TPE. Ahh happy retirement! lol

[@Loppas7]

Does this train work for train simulator classic or just 2022?

[@SkhTrains]

Genuinely a stunning piece of kit, my favourite DMU by a country mile, and the most needed in TS for a long time. Raising the bar for TS products all the time!

[@kiwitrains]

Do you need any add ons to run this and is it as easy to load and run as it is with the dovetail ts2022 scenarios and just trains scenarios

[@AlanThomsonsim]

It only has requirements for the scenarios and they are listed on the product page it’s a complex unit so you will need to read the manual carefully

[@LilShaqX]

Class 185 is my fav DMU i can't how much it's amazing to have a class 185 in game now this means we finally get to drive a Class 185 in Train Simulator and can't wait to buy it and I will buy it at some point thx alan

[@rainbowsmile7879]

Hi i am creating a train sim scenario with a class 37 and i want to start with the loco having 50% fuel. Any help with how to do this will be apricated. Thanks.

[@I_Am_Just_A_Technician]

In scenario editor double click on the loco, there should be a slider with a fuel ⛽ icon next to it. Slide it to desired fuel level and hit save.

[@ChrisJamesUK1]

Just bought this and it’s outstanding a must buy

[@Steggman]

Genuine question(s); If i had an older version will it auto update? If i buy ts2019 from cdkeys, will that still work or do i have to buy 2022?

[@matthewrose7726]

I've got an issue where the train will load in, however the unit will shut down when I get into it and there is constant smoke from the exhausts. All the buttons work but they don't do anything. Any ideas? Thanks.

[@AlanThomsonsim]

Hi sorry to hear this we should have you up and running ASAP

[@ScotRail-pq7ky]

A great piece of kit. Well overdue. Got a wee niggle for you on the sounds (as you said to point out in the video). When the engine RPM is decreasing from power (or even brake) applications, the note of the engine remains the same. In real life there is a small rev increase when the engine returns to idle, almost like the engine is being choked. These units also do a relentless amount of revving up and down after the each individual engine has been started up. I know an engine start up wasn’t featured in the video but the sound loop is roughly the same as the previous point I made

[@AlanThomsonsim]

I will look into this cheers mate

[@sirmagnumcat4996]

Hi Alan (and everyone else), I’m just getting started with TS and I would like to know what routes and trains that would run well on an less powerful PC. If you can’t help that’s entirely understandable. Thanks in advance all.

[@DanielChristopherTS]

With my own experience. I can only suggest WCML North, and Liverpool-Manchester. These are the only routes that I own that I can run fairly stable on low end PC's and laptops. There may be more

Hiya Alan, looking at purchasing TS 2022, interested to know what content/DLC you reccomend? Also I read that it is possible to set your own scenarios/routes/free roam to an extent? Some of your content as well is extremely appealing, as I live up in Blackburn so know the Preston/Manchester/Blackpool routes quite well!

[@Dkentflyer]

Awesome overview Alan of a fantastic product. A very well done to all the team, definite purchase for me. The announcement system is a real game changer.

[@connor6989]

This pack cost £26 right ? Does that mean I need to spend more money on other add ons in order for it to work! As you can tell I’m new to this type of downloading

[@AlanThomsonsim]

For the train itself to work in the simulator you will only require a copy of train simulator classic to run this train. If you would like to run the scenarios that come with it you will require the rest of the requirements listed on the website cheers

[@connor6989]

@@AlanThomsonsim but if I pay £26 will I get the train cause that’s all I’m bothered about is the train itself rather than the scenarios! Aslong as I can drive the train without buying other stuff that would be great !

[@purplesmurf2010]

Superb addition to the sim. The only gripe I have is that it's annoying having to swap to the opposite side of the cab just to open the doors on the offside and the door controls on the desk are inop. Otherwise, it's hard to find fault with it - superb attention to detail. EDIT: helps if I actually read the manual on the doors, my bad, you did call it out that I needed to.

[@nellybod8742]

It's nice that your pushing the boundaries of TS. My takeaway is that, I like driving with a controller. And using the HUD! So it's a no at the moment. But maybe in the future when I can justify a lower price for AI stock. Or DTG will release a 185 vanilla version in the future. Regardless a fine release from you & the team at ATS...

[@TheCatOfWarCSGO]

You can drive the 185 with a controller and HUD up no issue at all

[@lnerfan4468]

You can just press q on the keyboard

[@droge192]

The only constraint he mentioned about the HUD is that you can't use the warning (AWS) cancel on the HUD - because the train uses custom code. You can still press 'Q' or use hardware like the AWS Box that simulates a 'Q' press.

[@ChrisKhaled83]

thats the second time I have heard about Twich. I probably need to join up. I dont have twich, I thought it was for hard core multiplayer gamers. I will join up after what I have heard now from here, and others. And I dont know why people are using 32 bit stuff, I really dont know why. Especially when what they use has a 64 bit version.
