@Jermaine Zaid Yea, I have been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself :D

Notes for this video: 1. There is a slight error with the video rendering process when I announce the stations near the start of the video - after 3 attempts to fix it (followed by a 4.5 hour render each time), this is the best I can do for now. The rest of the video seems to be unaffected. 2. The distance between Strood and Gravesend is 7 miles and 16 chains - I forgot to caption this in, and it wasn't written in my notes for the commentary! 3. I gave the incorrect headcode for the service I drove in this video. I was correct in saying this is the 07:30 service, but the headcode is 1F15, not 1F17 as I said in the video.

You make comments about lag in Train Simulator. Please put in the new -fastload flag before doing further Train Simulator videos. I took this for a spin on Cajon Pass, one of the original and also one of the least optimized routes I came across early in my play. Sadly, a major delay spike entering San Bernadrino still exists, but I can tell you that the quality of the gameplay was otherwise virtually flawless. I found very little to complain about. Now if they will just fix those lag spots...

4K awesome cannot wait till I can play in 4K. Great video as usual. Really helps to have route info like crossing names!

Thanks! I bought a UK railway track atlas a couple of years ago. All the names for crossings and junctions come from that. Some junction names seem to be missing from the book though. Whatever is in the book makes it into these videos. :)

Just spent over an hour watching this and to be honest this is probably one of my favourite journeys on this channel, thank you for sharing Peter and keep up the good work mate.

Many thanks Pete for an excellent video with superb graphics. Good to have you back!!

Content so smooth it doesn't need to go above step 1 of braking... loving the new videos!

Congratulations to your new computer setup and the great stutter free graphics ! Well done!

I love the breakdown of the route and the train before hand that what sets these videos apart

An excellent tutorial video - the video quality is of the best definition. I'll definitely be using this as my reference point to further my driving skills.

It's awesome the fact you just don't even notice you're riding at 220 km/h, instead it looks like you were going at 80 km/h. Good gameplay. Nice voice. Congratulations.👍

Looking good, good to see you back too!

You could post in 240p and I would still watch it, glad you are back !

Congratulations on the new pc!! Really excited for the following content! By the way, yes I would be interested in seeing other simulators here on the channel.

Another excellent video. I remember my first time travelling on one of these 395's, goodness they have some power in them! Graphical quality is vastly improved on before, and very professional driven as always!

Pleased you've decided to make a more permanent comeback Peter. Much appreciated I'm sure and YES the improvement in graphics is especially noticeable on my inexpensive 'phone !! .. couldn't wish for better and look forward to the projects you have planned. Thank again.

Another great video, Peter. You asked for comments about the graphics. I watch your videos on a bog standard 15" laptop. Previously, theater view gave the best definition, with it being a bit iffy on full screen. With this video, full screen was as sharp as theater view, and your best so far by a long street. Many thanks.

Lovely video, really good work

Hi Peter, glad to see your comeback to KZread. I really enjoyed this video as the graphics were excellent and your commentary is spot on, as usual. I would definitely like to see a video or two from Zusi 3. I've been long considering getting it, since I really like German railroading, but have always been leery of the learning curve and relatively poor graphics.... Looking forward to more of your videos!

Great journey.

Yes please come back with new videos about route learning!

Funny you should say that - I was only talking about that with a friend the other week. I promised it for a long time, and even got to a recording session. But then I messed up on the driving, and the scenario failed when you reloaded it from a save. Not wanting to drive the whole thing again, I lost motivation and gave up at the time. We'll see what I can do this time around, though I'm not going to make any promises. :)

Good luck getting hold of the 3080! I would have gone for the 3080, but the 3070 is considerably easier to get hold of. Your old PC is very similar to mine - from September 2015 until this episode, all my videos were recorded on an i7 4790k with a GTX 980. And your new PC will be similar to mine - including the same processor. 32gb RAM might be beneficial for the future, but for TS and TSW, along with most other games, 16 is more than enough. :) TSW shows a huge improvement in the frame rate, and of course you can play in much higher resolutions. TS on the other hand? Not so much. The fps improvements in TS are very modest indeed.

I feel like all routes I've previously covered in TSW at least need a return journey doing so as to highlight routes/trains in 4K!

Is there not a 10mk/h buffer for the speed limits before the emergency brakes will be applied?

Just want to point out, the beeping that you heard when you've put the reverser to neutral during set-up was in fact not the DSD, given the beeping, it is the KVB, the French classic signalling system only available in some areas (including St Pancras Intl.) Videos on other simulations would be really nice, Zusi especially since it would be even more of a challenge for you to get to near perfection, and being much closer to realism than TS/TSW, which in itself is promising to watch. TramSim, I own it, I was desperate for a tram simulation, and yes, it's really good, no regrets. Might want to watch for SimRail coming somewhen this year, tho brush up on your Polish. :D

Great video man, and congrats on finding a 3070 on sale during this time (thanks miners), but I have to ask: with these specs do you plan to do a remake on some of the videos you had problems with lag the most? Yesterday I was watching your Cardiff Central to London Paddington route video, and the different between that video and this one is huge

Are you allowed to put headlights at Night on the tunnels, in order to see TVM markers?

Can you do the Diesel Legends of Great Western with Class 101 between London Paddington to Maidenhead as a request?

New clenfield railroad is in train sim world 2

Yes, other sim software please. Thanks.

I have noticed that you haven’t turned on the tail lights at the rear of the train. I think it’s a bit of a to walk all the way to the rear cab just to turn on the tail lights.

Is it normal that you have to turn on the tail lights manually? (Going at the end of the train)

Just wondering though... did you get your note info from (i.e. gradients,distances/speeds track crossing names etc) studying the the heads up display ...

@PTGRail

2 жыл бұрын

I get the info on distances, speeds, and gradients from the heads up display. Crossing/junction/tunnel names I get from a UK track atlas book that I bought especially so I could put the information into my videos. :)

Great video! I love this route in Train Simulator 2020. I was wondering, would you be willing to do a video telling us how it is that you learn these routes? Are you using materials from the train company, certain maps, websites, etc or do you just use trial and error in making these?

@PTGRail

3 жыл бұрын

In terms of learning these routes - I firstly drive the journey with the HUD turned on. I drive along the route, looking out for landmarks and their distances to speed changes or stops. I make notes of these so I know what to look out for. I then drive the journey a second time, this time following the notes with the HUD switched off - this allows me to make sure the notes are accurate and I can actually follow them, and edit them where necessary. It's also on this second run where I record external shots of the train departing from stations or the train passing at speed. Finally, I do the third run where I record the journey. The information in the captions comes from a UK railway track atlas I got so I could add more detail to the videos. :)

@@PTGRail Thanks for responding to my question! Your process makes me appreciate your videos even more as that seems quite a bit of work. The only route I was able to drive, in a manner that you do, is the North London Line since its so small. In regards to that atlas you refer to, is that available online or is that a hard copy? Also do you have any good resources online for UK train maps to help me drive like you do?

I love the grafics in TSW 2. 4k might not be required in order to produce a youtube video. What I do not like in TSW 2 is the LOD distance. Mayve you can scale these up now that you are a happy RTX 3070 owner. Tweak the engine.ini in the save game folder (saved/config/windowsnoEditor) Add these lines at the bottom [SystemSettings] r.ViewDistanceScale=5 r.Color.Mid=0.4 foliage.LODDistanceScale=3 Or even higher numbers for your RTX 3070! The color makes it a bit darker. So not required. BTW the 1F17 time table route is only a 6 car unit on my computer ... I found the 7:30 service is 1F15 and has 12 cars.

I didn’t realise just how much of an upgrade it would be, and the 3070 has far exceeded my expectations!

Frustrating game! I just dl the south eastern hi speed...I've done everything the tutorial says but nothing is happening. Feels like a bug, throttle is on, closed the doors(not part of tutorial) now it's green up ahead but nothing is happening. Can't move power lever/get up etc...can press some buttons in the cab though. Edit: closed the doors manually BEFORE moving throttle and trian moves...nowhere in the tute does it say to press door button. Watching PC tutorial as soon as you sit in the driver's seat doors sound to close.
