Train Simulator 2016 - Route Learning: East Croydon to London Bridge Stopper (AP Class 456) 

Glad to hear your new setup is performing good. I was experimenting a lot with AA myself, and in the end I ended up going with FXAA + 8 x MSAA, but using NVIDIA's DSR downsampling on top of that, so the game is using a resolution of 2880 x 1620. Looks really great, and performance is pretty good, with very little load stutter as well. I also use SweetFX for a tad more color and sharpness to bring the details out. Loving it!! Thanks for another great video!

Peter, the PC upgrade has given a massive increase in clarity - up to the clarity of the real life train videos in HD on U Tube, even when viewed on a bog standard 25 inch laptop. I can now see the things that you refer as coming up ahead at the time that you say it. Many thanks, Roger Crick

Great video! Keep up the work mate.

Many thanks again, Peter, for an instructive trip on what's perhaps become my favourite TS route. I've a favour to asK: The UK rail systems of signalling an urban trackage differ (of course) from those in North America (I live in eastern Canada). Thus, there are little details that can be puzzling to those of us in Canuckistan, but are "ops normal" for native denizens of UK like yourself. One example, which took me a while to figure-out for myself, was a situation where I was toddling-along in a "Stopper" scenario on an "outer" track, whereupon an AI train went swooshing past on an "inner" track. What the heck?, I asked. After a bit of pondering, it seemed logical that the outer tracks were for the slower, "Stopper" trains, and the inner tracks were for express trains Or at least that's what I've guessed. The point is, however, that nobody, yourself included, feels moved to mention such an occurrence because it's so commonplace to you. But to lumpen cretins like me, I'm left unsure of the fundamentals of such a perhaps-simple event. So while I'm not suggesting you verbally document every itty-bitty detail on a route, I'd love to hear either a mention or a confirmation or routine things like platform markers, CCTV cameras, fast tracks, feathers, and other items that those of us on the other side of the Pond never see in real life. Cheers, Peter! -Jon

Congratulations on getting your new PC PTGRail, I know just how upgrading my PC made a massive difference to how much enjoyment I got from Train Sim.

Well done Peter you can see the diffarance with the new computer

Amazing video, you make it look so easy, great commentary very informative. Thank you.

Fantastic videos! I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers. Keep the good work up!

For your information at the 7 minute mark you are approaching T22 gantry signal. This is a multiple SPAD risk gantry and caution must be shown when approaching it in real life. There are some differences in real life but i'm impressed by this programme. Thanks for posting.

Good way to start off the new menu skin of TS12. Hopefully the new PC means more demanding routes plus less lag!

Great vid as always

Great Video

Nice to see you soon

I know you're in a spot where every frame per second helps so I suggest you download MSI Afterburner to overclock your video card. I've done so with my own cards and have gained up to 25% in performance. Your card should be able to do 1400 MHz on the core at least. Really worth it in my opnion. On another note: I Like your videos, keep them coming.

great video again! might I say your new rig is really showing some great improvements! looks very nice indeed, also, are any of your custom scenarios on the workshop? would love to give some a bash! :)

Great video there. If you are looking to try other train simulators. I would recommend having a look at BVE5 as it is a freeware Japanese train simulator and the content is very good even though most of the trains are Japanese. But for the next scenario. I would like to see you drive a Class 319 from East Croydon to Brighton with the AP sounds as you can open the cab windows on the Class 319 with the Armstrong Powerhouse sounds as it includes a patch for the train. I like the graphics as they look very life like on your new gaming rig. Ash.

great video! Good to see you back as well. it seems you've survived the first couple of weeks at uni then? :-)

Love you train vids

ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh new computer!

Nice video, the new computer certainly shows off the graphics very well. On the topic of other railroad related videos, would you be willing to make a video on the basics of SigSim?? I've taken a look at it and it appears very daunting. A 'quick start' guide would be very useful. I'm not much of a documentation reader... :-)

@PTGRail You should consider using NVidias Geforce Experience to record your game - New GTX cards have a dedicated chip built in to handle all recording. This means you get literally Zero FPS drop. It's incredibly good.

To switch to DOO click on the driver's door key panel (on the second man's side) so that the key is inserted.

World of Subways series would be interesting to view.

Great video as usual Peter. Just wondering, is there any NIR or IÉ content out there?

great video. what graphics card, processor and ram did you previously have?

Great video PTGRail ! As always and right now better with your new PC. Is there any chance to share your setup ingame and what AA settings you are using ? As you, I have a GTX980 4 Gb Vram and an old I7 965 @ 3.2 ghz and whished to know how you get these good graphics result and playable TS. As someone said, are you using the DSR feature in Nvidia panel control ? I'm very excited to know how to set up TS for the best graphics and acceptable FPS ... +1 like

Need to fix the station listing in the description as it has Norwood Junction and East Croydon twice. Your vocal commentary has the correct last two stations (New Cross Gate and London Bridge).

Dude you need more subscribers so im a new sub

Now that you have a new PC, have you considered uploading in 60fps?

How do you manage to get yourself in a position where you can see out of both the window and your controls?

Is class 421 and 423 have dynamic lighting? I find it is dark to drive in the night.

You didn't mention that this is the new version of TS (2016). Any key differences from TS 2015?

The 456 looks like it has an eyebrow raised.

Are you ever going to do the Class 360 ?????????

What's the line on the over bridge before Brockley?

You could start using Simutrans or OpenTTD, I am trying to make a game like that myself at the moment - you can see stuff on my channel about it

Have you done any video's of the London Underground sim?

Certainly looks nicer. I tried doing the North east region to new haven pt1 scenario tonight and all the speed signs were messed up made it impossible to run

I know you specialize in train simulator, but i think you should start a series on OMSI 2, as there are many great routes and realistic buses! that may be very successful.

So the destination board only works for the Class 456 ap?

Hi, Mr Picky again! Despite you mentioning it during the introduction you forgot to put the reverser into neutral the entire journey which would prevent you from removing your hand from the "Power Handle" as this is the DSD. You also failed to operate the DRA at the last red aspect before requesting a SPAD, (Rules regarding "Detention of Trains on Running Lines" refer.). Is TPWS in operation on this route? I will be very surprised if you reply to this comment but please take note as you are unintentionally misinforming your subscribers, of which I am one.

What's your New Graphics Card GTX 970?

try to record from glasgow to carlisle in a 6 car class 350/1

plz do a carlisle to whitehaven north west
