A Virgin Voyager is seen near Haywards Heath on a service from Brighton to Edinburgh.

I had a hybrid drive on my laptop that I purchased back in 2015, when I traded it in to CEX they gave me full SSD value!

I've just finished upgrading to an i5 7600k, the first thing I tested was the last scenario I played on my i3 6100, " South London to Brighton Rush Hour Pack", where you start off at a busy Brighton station. I was surprised to see the frames at the beginning of the scenario were the same as before, ...

Funny you should say that, I carried out a couple of tests as advised by Gary, the first one was the culprit scenario that was previously crashing (today ran without a hitch :o ) , The second test was running the same scenario, but with no rolling stock whatsoever. Here are my findings: Test 1, roll...

At Loverswalk I get 30-40 fps, looking away towards Preston Park I get 100 fps so it doesn’t seem the sim is struggling too much. Frame rates aren't affected by these out of memory crashes in my experience - I can be happily looking at 140 fps, but as soon as memory use goes too high TS will crash ...

Thanks for the helpful insight Gary, all of those items are fitted with AP packs, the slammers in AP Connex and the 319 in marketplace Connex. You are right on the merged route it’s Danny’s North South West London and Thameslink route. I’m going to have another go I think, I mean looking at the shed...

In this particular circumstance I had 3 8 car DTG 319’s, 3 8 car DTG 423’s and 3 8 car DTG 421’s

Thank you Alan, I was having a similar issue trying to replicate TSW service mode with a full shed of multiple units that all leave one by one on realistic timetabled services. But TS wont have any of it.

Back to the drawing board!

This is more one of those things I want to do than need to do, these are my current specs Z170 HD3P motherboard I3 6100 GTX 770 4gb 8gb 3000mhz ram 256gb m.2 nvme 500gb HD TS is running nicely on highest, can’t complain, but I would like to handle even more ai before getting the dreaded dump message...

I used the "run scenario" feature (the one that lets you select a speed etc) Do you mean the 'rolling start' option? Had you enabled the setting before pressing Ctrl + F2?...if not you may have saved the scenario in it's entirety instead of just the speed/control values etc. What files do you have ...

As far as TSW goes, I get 40 FPS on “highest”. If you have components even better, I recycled a 500gb Sata hdd for storage.

I built up my system over the past year using a mixture of parts from different sources for about £500, I’ve learned a lot in the process and it’s fun to do. Gigabyte z170 hd3p motherboard, eBay £48 I3 6100 dual core 3.7 ghz, eBay £78 DDR4 Corsair vengeance 3000mhz 8gb memory, CEX £40 Corsair CXM550...

I think this is the death knell for TSW as a serious simulator. I don't know of any serious simulator who's target platform is a console. Yes, catering for the simlite crowd on consoles will produce better graphics and possibly sound, but there is no way it will encourage complex detailed simulatio...

I used the "run scenario" feature (the one that lets you select a speed etc) to try and get to the bottom of what was happening at Gatwick, but now my whole scenario is backwards. When I press play the scenario starts with the player train braking hard from 60mph at Balcombe when It should be waitin...

I just wish I could sell CSX because I’m not interested in following this sim anymore, TS will always be the more superior sim, TSW is a game dressed up to look like a sim. After all now it’s being released on PS4 too.... Nothing against DTG, I will happily continue purchasing their DLC for TS, it’s...
