Can the creators tell me if there will be a twitch preview of this at all? I saw that this Friday's is the 445/8. If not, maybe you could make a short teaser vid !*don-know!*

This is going to be on the TrainSimLive channel - just to be clear :D The show starts at 9.30pm UK time as usual.
Spread the word, let's get as many people along to take a look at this amazing route as possible :D

View it here: http://www.twitch.tv/mattpeddlesden/v/9705249 The action starts at 09:20.

Matt said this is the first opportunity he had to run the route. Along the way, somebody apparently told him that the Metra cabs in the route do not have in-cab signals. Not true. Both the F40PH and Nippon Sharyo cabs are equipped with identical aspect display units. Each one has four sets of lights, some of which are double lights. Usually just the top green one (Clear) is lit, and like the prototype they're not labeled. Sorry -- you'll just have to read the Manual!

There were a bunch of morons in the chat. Half of them were saying the route, all 40 some miles of it was a Quiet Zone. Plus that Cab Signal discussion. Others saying he couldn't stop on crossings at stations. It was kind of ridiculous.

Looked at the twitch preview, the F40's Ditchlights flash a little too fast, the ditchlights on the parked P42's in the yard are on. Idk if the crossing gates time is slow or not, idk if you changed that, and at 39:50 at that video, the crossings do not activate, the scenario is with the F40 leading in the snow, and I didnt see the whole preview, but I thought there were Searchlight Signals?

Could you make the ditch lights fade on and off and the mars light was a little to slow.

We are just asking for simple fixes, why would someone release a game and have incorrect details? Why not make it right the first time?

Why do you nitpickers take all the fun away from the rest of us that are just very happy this huge task is getting done?
