Thanks to Don Coffey for giving me permission to use his videos in this series.
Although Train Simulator itself is neither accurate, or inaccurate, the routes and locomotives that are made for it can vary wildly, from older Kuju developed assets to the very latest from Armstrong Powerhouse, Just Trains and of course, DTG themselves. Things have moved on a great deal since Train Simulator was first launched. It is however, a very old Direct X9 game, and compared to the newer Train Sim World series, which is based on the Unreal 4 Engine, is often accused of being outdated and graphically challenged. This video is intended to not only showcase the accuracy of some of the routes available for TS Classic, but also, with the help of graphical add ons (listed further down in this description) it can look surprisingly good, even in 2022.
This video uses the one of the utterly superb videos from Don Coffey for comparison. If you've not seen his channel, or watched his videos, please head over there and subscribe. His channel is essential viewing for any rail enthusiast. (link below). Go subscribe... that's an order! :) His original videos are better quality, as I have had to zoom in too match the game footage.
This video uses ReShade's selective colour shader to add realism to sky and vegetation colour, which is one of the major drawbacks to TS20xx. It also uses AP's Sky & Weather Enhancement Pack and along with RWEnhancer Pro.
The route is the excellent Chat Moss from ATS.
alanthomsonsim.com/product/at... This route is hammering my creaky old Sandybridge/GTX980 based PC as we approach Manchester, apologies. I'm holding off building a new one until NVidia and AMD release next gen products later this year.
The scenario is my own, based on Don's video and the Trans Pennine Express 2019 time table.

So... just how accurate can TS Classic be? Watch the entire video and judge for yourself as we drive a class 185 from Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Victoria. Why not leave a comment and tell us what you think.
Apologies for the masking error between 07:18 and 07:40.
