The model and cab is perfect 10/10, the sounds are reused from older trains and the brake hissing sound is from the BR Class 89 which is very obvious that they weren't gonna put any effort into making proper sounds.
A great review and honest. I really appreciate you being so honest. we can all but wait for the AP EP now. Keep up the good work Tom.
Thankyou!
Thanks for the review Tom. Got to say I agree with what you say about the whole thing!!!!
The cabling between the coaches is correct and there isn't any higher up that you're thinking off like the 80x.
Thanks for the overview Tom, I really wish DTG put more effort into their products the model is pretty nice but the sounds are a definite let down. Like you said no track sounds is pretty unforgiveable.
Totally agree, its a shame to see such a brilliant route be released then followed by an important piece of rolling stock come at the quality we received it! The community as always will come and save the day.
Although there doesn't appear to be any track joint sounds the only good thing about that is you can't hear the unprototypical track joints when going over and under all bridges which means the reverb is more prominent, hurray! Hopefully, as you mentioned AP will do an EP pack? Be nice to see some Northern skins for the 700 too.
ATS are working on a sound mod which improves the unit a lot!
@@TrainSim_TV There's a mini mod out now for it on ATS.
"it's not all bost!" Goes back to cab with an incessant beeping noise which won't stop!
It's all a bit like the DTG 323.. Decent model bought from a third party then DTG spends 10 minutes copying over some crap script & sound implementation.. Missing track run and joint sounds too.
Sounds:
Not amazing. Doors, traction, throttle/brake lever, atmospheric (windows, etc).
Visuals:
Pretty bang on to be fair. Nothing I can really complain about except the centre screens (featuring the AWS reticle) feel slightly too small but could just be me. Obviously no FLU/RLU sticker in the cab but that's not a necessity
I’m only going to be using this as Ai. Until a Armstrong Powerhouse pack comes out.
Most likely my self too on this
When someone says his washing machine sounds better, that's saying something.
When class 377/387 enhancement was released, people asked for 80X enhancement, someone said that Richard Armstrong said that they are not making anything if it's not atleast 5 years old train (or something like that). But they released the 80X Enhancement. So we might see it
@@TrainSim_TV i have noticed as well the lights on the side of the train go out just before the doors shut
You use the depot headlight! The day headlight should be in the middle but not those outer LED ones
Bought it as its a major gap filler, I'm more a casual when it comes to trains sounds and details, so I don't mind the jank too much. Also they patched the route, added in that little heritage railway too :)
btw, liking your videos and honest attitude; especially when it comes to the routes you've made, your video about the Lincoln and Nottingham route persuaded me to buy it come payday :)
Thank you for the kind words and support
i suppose DTG could book a recording session and add another 20 quid to the price like AP but i guess it would be too expensive then, for the price it seems ok, you did review the Stainmore route and the Ivatt with that addon is much much worse than this yet no comment from yourselfs, i think people need to reel in their expectations with TS DLC a study sim for msfs is 50+ pound
Bit random really ref the Stainmore,that was Mark rather than Tom,and not really a review of the Ivatt which I agree isn't very good,especially looking at it now,having said that I disagree in that it's much worse than this. Outside of the model it's hard to get much worse than the 700.
it would be nice to have the 700 on TSW2
Fully agree!
I am not getting Class 700 without the DTG PDL, AP Class 444/450 Enhancement Pack and the ATS Class 700 patch. All of these sounds are absolutely stupid because of the ripoff audio to the Class 450. But with ATS Class 700 patch, the sounds are better to use it. Did you know that Class 707 looks the same as Class 700, but without the pantographs? In real life, the Class 707 traction sounds the same as the Class 444. I think it's better than ATS Desiro City Pack but I'm still using AI version for AI use only. The only thing I want to go on Class 700 is to go on the First Class because the Standard Class seems very busy due to lots of passenger got on board.
The game looks really good I like the look of the route. The train looks good shame about the sounds. Just been on steam and all negative reviews so far. Nice to see some new stuff coming out for the ol game
Agree the route is stunning, one of DTGs best in a long time if i must say. The sounds and physics just let the train down sadly. Hence our lower scoring. Hopefully we wont have to wait for an update / enhancement job
I believe there is a patch coming out VERY soon by ats
Seen this and look forward to it. We will revisit the pack once this mod is available for an updated video!
@@TrainSim_TV okie dokie
Mhmmm that cab looks lovely, shame the sounds suck. Thanks for sharing, Tom!
Re the track joint sounds…..aren’t the rails continuously welded?
You'd still hear them over pointwork such as here,where it's silent ua-cam.com/video/_8b48TjpLyo/v-deo.html
Hope DTG can develop class 717!
It would be most likely just be a reskin tbh
does the scenario come with onboard announcements
What route is this on TSC?
It's sounds like a Class 350s
What are the 700 sounds like in real life?
Not like these!
Not like the ones experienced here lol
I like how I can get to the London routes in full view rather than just looking through a little bullhole. Someone will make a soundupdate for it and everything will be ok...
Oh no doubt someone will sort out an update on the sounds and in time an AP Ep would probably turn up too
doors are not correct as desiro cities have unique door and motor sounds
The mod thats available should make them a lot more bearable
how much is this game?
TS 2022 the core base game is available for £24.99. Head to one of our video descriptions for a direct link to the steam store of the product
@@TrainSim_TV do you have to buy the game then the class 700 add on?
what is the name of the game
Train Simulator 2022 is the base game required to run the DLC on :)
There isn't even motor sound. It's just the "weeweeweeweeweewee" inverter sounds.
@@droge192 word. Nah the person who made this may either likely want to troll everyone....or...they really wanted us to get it so badly. That they released a prototype or something.
Like they could make some sort of artificial motor sounds at least. Like the DTG 377s on tsw2 we're decent , even though they sounded like toys lol. You could tell they tried to emulate an electrostar motor , which was cool.
The 700s have quiet motors, but you can very much hear them regardless. Admittedly, it is harder to replicate their modern day washing machine like motor sounds. But again, as a DTG release , it could have had some sort of sound that tried to copy the motor pitches.
Even the DTG 450s weren't so bad. If they wanted to recycle door chimes..then they could have used the door sounds from the class 465s from tsw2. But NOOO. ( WE ARENT EVEN GONNA BOTHER) Somehow desiro city = desiro of the 2000s.
Does ATO work?
Not an included feature
@@TrainSim_TV I wasn't expecting any less😂😂 thank you
The model is fantastic, but the traction sounds are a joke.
DTG excels themselves yet again. This has obviously been rushed out to release, even the manual is missing photos of the train!!! The sounds are just reused 350/450, and how can they use the door open sound for both opening and closing the doors?!?!? Sorry but that alone is just completely unforgivable. The constant UFO running sound loop is annoying. Yeah the cab and the train looks OK, but I think DTG thought "yeah that looks fine, sod the rest of it and put it out now to get everyone's money". Everyone has been eagerly awaiting this 700 and it's really needed in Train Sim, but to get this is just completely and totally disappointing. I'm sticking to the Thameslink 387 for now until a better 700 version comes out.
Manual is fine for me, make sure you arent using the manual from the Steam Product Page and using the one that is in your Train Sim install in the manual Folder. Cant help you with the other bits though although I am sure someone will update the sounds at some point to make it useable for some.
AP need to do a number on this. Sounds are god awful. Other than that though the train itself seems good, just need to fix the sounds
Hopefully they will soon sort this
how is ur fps so smooth
Running on 4K. PC specs:
12th gen i7
32gb ram
TS installed on a M.2 nvme
3080gtx GPU
@@TrainSim_TV It's ridiculous that such high specs are required to run a 12 year old game smoothly. It must run so innefficiently.
@@TrainSim_TV would appreciate if you could do a settings video are some point. Got a very similar setup to yours with the exception of an rx6900xt for graphics and a Ryzen 7 processor yet I still can’t get the sim to run as smooth as yours
@@TrainSim_TV i have an i9 11900k 32gb ram and a 3080 but cant get a solid 60fps? i tried the wcml route and its horrible. is it the route or my setup as i really want a smooth fps experience?
DTG must think we prefer arcade mode physics and no functionality. Very poor effort.
To sum it up; The model is amazing. The sounds are SHIT.
Pretty much in a nutshell. However ATS have been working on a sound mod which sounds a heck of a lot better!
this DLC is an utter joke
Lies.
@@LNER985 ffs not you again, what do you gain from simping for companies continuously putting out poor quality content?
@@cyrusbahmaie3580 Says the one continually trying to make the community more toxic.
@@cyrusbahmaie3580 would you rather not have the 700 in the game? Nothing is perfect! It’s a start and will improve with time.
It’s DTG wat do u expect lol sounds suck.
