Train Sim World
WCML: Birmingham - Crewe Release Date
All Aboard Studios are making their Train Sim World debut with WCML: Birmingham - Crewe, releasing on Tuesday 21st October!
We revealed a lot of the details of this next section of the West Coast Main Line to come to TSW in our previous article, including all the Add-ons that layer into the extensive timetable.
You can also read more about the release in All Aboard's Development Blogs.
Class 350 Improvements
In addition, we can confirm that All Aboard Studios have made a wide range of improvements to the 350 and not just on the visual front!
These improvements include the following:
- Suspension rework.
- Improved braking curves.
- Improved the Traction Lock system so you can now switch cab ends.
- Improved the Emergency Lock Conditions so now if you press the plunger or you throw the PBC into emergency, you can release the braking again.
- Improved door logic so you can now consistently depart without brakes being stuck on when trying to apply power.
- Improved couple and uncouple logic on AI services so that gangway doors and tail lights should now all function properly.
- Made some improvements to the UDS Switch logic so should now always behave correctly when under player control.
- Improved the Body Indicator Lights so that they consistently work (When doors close under driver mode, they go off. When in guard mode, they will flash consistently when local door is active in that coach.
- Improved the PBC sensitivity to allow for keyboard users to apply smaller increments of braking power more easily.
- Improved Auto Brake system so that it only kicks in at 1.5mph or under as per real life operation and allows for proper movements through train washes and depots.
- Added Onboard Announcements.
- Added Passenger Ambience.
- Removed DC Functionality from /2 and /3 variants as per real life. We have also made visual changes where appropriate:
- /1 has proper interior as per 2019 pre refurb spec in ex LM colours.
- Removed DOO components on /1 and /2 sub classes to represent true real life spec for the time period.
- Changed PIS Not In Service text from “NotIn” to “LNR” as per real life.
- Changed External PIS Colour to reflect closer to real life.
- Centred PIS Text on external PIS.
NOTE: Some changes may not be on preview stream however these changes should make release or a post-release patch.
