OUT NOW: ScotRail eXpress: Edinburgh - Glasgow

[MAX1313]

Hey there Jasper_Rivet, in the screenshots and videos we have seen so far, the destination board on the 385 has not been displaying any sort of destination. I have a very enquires and requests related to this:

1. Will the 385 have a working destination display? Or is this something you’ve left out for this release?

2. Will the destination display be dynamic even if it’s on a different route? For example, if I put the 385 on the Island Line, it will display ‘Shanklin’. I ask this because the 385 will without a doubt be used as a layer in future routes, so having a dynamic destination display is important.

3. Have you made sure AI trains display their destination? In certain routes (Luzern - Sursee being one), AI trains will have empty destination boards. It would be great if this route had AI trains correctly display their destinations, like in Island Line 2022.

I would really appreciate if you could look into this and answer my questions. Thank you and enjoy your weekend

Yes this is a must on this route. We can't keep having routes coming out like SEHS, BCC, Luzern/Sursee with not working destination displays. Hope this is not the case

The building the Class 385 video was rather interesting! Very cool to see all the details you've put into the train. Really gives you a perspective of why it takes so long for a route to be built. Would it be possible to hear more of the sounds of the Class 385 for example: Maybe just showcase a run from Edinburgh Waverly to the depot? That way we can here some more of those fine traction motors! Also, PIS anouncements haaaassss to have a preview! It's an amazing new feture and I think we all want to know what it's going to sound like!


Thanks,
Nathan.

[Jasper_Rivet]

I'm sure we'll have something for the announcements, for the sounds: Go enjoy the preview stream next Tuesday. ^^

[Nathan]

Also, we need Smart PIS to go along with the anouncements otherwise it will just look a bit weird. Hopefully it is all included! 🙂

[AmScot01324_Rivet]

We can't give all the details away

[Nathan]

Oh man! Okay, fair enough. Can't wait to see some more Previews though! 🙂
Looking good so far, although I hope your read my bug reports/reviews of the previews. AmScot01324_Rivet

[Jasper_Rivet]

Have moved these seperate questions into the main thread, trying to keep things organized. 😅

I won't share too much, but we have working destination board included (how could we not on this train). The rest will be announced soon enough. ^^

[Nathan]

Oh no! In the video the PIS is all wrong! I hope that's not what it's going to look like in realease. In reality, it's the same style as the Class 395 just green.

[Jasper_Rivet]

Thanks for the feedback, what excatly is wrong about it?

[Nathan]

Jasper_Rivet, you know how the Class 395 has the coach letter, the time and the route and train information in between. Well the Class 385 is exactly the same except it's green. If you could get the code for the Class 395 PIS. All you need to change is the colour and it should be good! Let me know if that's possible for an update/change before/after release.

[Express1217]

Very disappointed to see you're still using AI timings, even after it has been pointed out multiple times. Guess I'll just wait for a sale or skip it outright until it gets fixed.

[Nathan]

Still. If it isn't a realistic timetable it gives the option to have alot more services. For example, the service in the screenshot probably doesn't have a end point because the trains on the Falkirk High Line don't stop there. It's probably a service to Stirling or Alloa before it goes out of bounds.

[Nathan]

Jasper_Rivet or AmScot01324_Rivet. Or someone from Rivet. Please please please could you make the jingle toggleable for the anouncements. 1. It's not realistic and 2. I will be driving this route all the time and it will drive me mad. Also, who's ever voice that is, it's lovely but to improve realisim, could you use this Scotrail track instead. You probably won't be able to put it in the route before realease even if you do put it in at all so could you please maybe put this in, in an update or something. I would really appreciate it. https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...8BTw417_KRz9c5
a drive folder with all the Scotrail anouncements in their separate tracks.
Scotrail/network rail released their anouncements to the public a while back as an F.O.I (freedom of information request). The original request is here with links to the full track. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/reque..._announcements

[Nathan]

Okay, bit of a shame but I understand. matteomo, what are your thoughts on ethier turning off or making the jingle toggleable?

[matteomo]

To be fair, I don't know about that. I'll let someone else answer that!

[Nathan]

Okay doki. Thanks. What do you think Jasper_Rivet?

[Nathan]

Awesome! Love the new screenshots. But I can't pre-order on Xbox. Any idea if and when that will be available?

[Railfan33]

Will we be seeing the stirling,dunblane and alloa line with this or will there be an addon later on, what an absolute spectacular route you guys have done, but it would be the icing on the cake if you done these stations as they are mine and your local ones so it would be a shame not to see it in a later update

[BlackwolfTR]

Preordered. Ready whenever you are.
Nice to see the clock on the Balmoral hotel, I´m really looking forward to virtual Edinburgh.
And as mentioned by Railfan33 - consider addition of the branches with a new train DLC! =)

[Nathan]

Just Letting you know, Jasper_Rivet, these PIS boards in Glasgow Queen Street should be white, not this yellowy orange colour you guys seem to be using.

[Nathan]

Also, At Glasgow Queen Street there are little Yellow and Black striped poles next to the tracks near the buffers that show where the driver is supposed to stop. These seem to be non-existant here.

[Nathan]

Rivet Games (Jasper_Rivet ), why is there a Class 385 in this screenshot without no livery? I hope it gets it's Saltire before realease.

[matteomo]

Hi, please remember that all the actual screenshots are not representing the final product. I assume that this screenshot has been taken on a older build and that we simply missed the thing while taking it. Anyways, don't worry, the trains will have their livery 😉

[Nathan]

Okay, thank you!
