Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming back to this game. It has changed so much. I haven't played it in ages. But am looking forward to having the time to revisit. I am so thankful that a talented presenter can update us all on this game.
The simulator update releases soon hopefully
@@sourzebra9289 end of june actually
Derail Valley is poised to become the best train sim out there in terms of "feel" IMO. Even the old version gives you a sense of weight, inertia and power that I always felt was lacking in the other train sims, and I can't even imagine how good it will become when this new version comes out.
Yeah I think Derail Valley and SimRail are the stand out ones
If you wanted to have a bit more fun with the game, I suggest looking into mods. Things like "Shunter Fan Cooling Mod" which does as the title says by giving active cooling at the cost of horsepower and fuel efficiency, or "Remote Dispatcher" allows you (or a friend) to use a browser window to remotely view the map, locos, carriages and switches. They can check job numbers and operate switches, even control shunters to prep jobs for you.
Love how you took all the fluff out and made that quick and simple for a noob to get started without the fuss. Well done. Thanks
29:19 Using the independent brake while hauling can wreck your wheels pretty quickly and cost a lot to repair. I don't use it at all with more than an empty car or two. The train brake takes longer to release but it's a stronger brake so you don't have to apply much - 3 notches at most unless you're making a mistake and it'll still release quickly
Danger of just using the independent whilst hauling a load is that while the loco engine is slowing, your wagons aren't. Which means that, especially on a downhill gradient, they'll continue to push you along. Not sure if the game reflects this, but it's certainly true in real life (I'm a freight train driver).
@@MagicKillerClub I’m pretty sure that’s how it works in game too
I use it all the time and it’s been fine. However when Simulator comes I won’t be able to get away with it
@@squirrel Do you need to use Kph or can it be changed for Mph?
@@squirrel Typical arrogant reply from an arrogant man who hates being wrong. You clearly didn't know you were doing a faux pas but instead of just saying thank's for the lesson you pretend it's fine because the game doesn't punish you yet. What's the point on playing a simulator if you are not interested in actually driving a train properly and just want to find cheat methods...
33:55 Note that in the new update, brake heating is implemented. If you now get into the habit of using the independent brake this often, you really have a rough time in the next patch as you loose all your braking power by brake fade
"loose"
@@tim3172 He's not wrong, tho; your brakes do come "loose" when you "lose" braking power.
I've noticed that the best way to tell which direction the switcher is going is to look at the metal rectangle position on the pole. If it's on the left side of the pole, it'll turn left. the right side will turn right. That way you don't really have to understand the / and \ symbols because in a panic you can get them mixed up. Also, the switcher setting on the coms radio shows an arrow when you hover over them that tells you which direction the track is going.
I think the arrows on the coms radio is something that was put in with an update after this video.
This is a top 10 VR game for sure IMO. Loved setting all my notebooks on the dash and listening to a podcast as i coast around doing jobs.
Thank you for getting back into Derail, you were one of the first I started watching playing it way back when. I was even thinking about telling you about all the new stuff as it came out to try to convince you to get back into it.
Love to see a new series of Derail again!
The last I saw of this was when you played it 4 years ago and it has sat in my wishlist sence then. It's crazy to see how far it has come. I think it would be better in VR due to being able to interact with things without looking at them directly, so I may wait for that.
Honestly it's great in both VR and non-VR.
I wouldn't wait too much longer, as the price is due to increase when the big new update is released soon
The next update (due June-ish) allows you to interact with your mouse cursor separately to looking around, which should significantly improve the non-VR experience.
The Simulator update has A LOT of QOL additions for non-VR players too. VR is still the best way to play, but it's impressive how good both versions of the game are.
The game also has keyboard controls, which allows you to control the loco while inside the cab
THANK YOU! I haven't played this in years and just kind of kept it at the bottom of my installed list. You explained what you were doing extremely well. Keep it up and I absolutely will continue watching this series.
I'm watching this a couple days before a steam sale hoping the game will go on sale then, just to get some last impressions before comitting to it. All I can think of with every little thing that happens is "god this is going to be so cool in VR" so I am thoroughly sold
Looking forward to more of these videos. I like how you walk and talk us through the processes and not just do everything while we watch.
I always wanted to get back into this game. Thanks for showcasing it again.
Good to see you back playing this and looking forward to the series!
yay, I've missed having derail valley simulator videos on here, I hope you'll bring this series back in
Glad to see this game returning! Such a fun game! Go nuts shunting!
I had no idea this game existed. I bought it after watching this video and put in 13 hours in 2 days. What a great game!!!!
I wish my computer could run this game, it looks like fun. You mentioned tankers making spectacular explosions; there's a TH-camr called Hyce you may have seen or heard of who likes to make them do that; he calls them "explody bois". I'll be glad to watch you do a full series on this, and I wish you'd do another one on American Truck Simulator now that more states have been added to the game.
Love to see a fellow Planes, Trains, and Automobiles enthusiast who gets involved in every simulator you can find, haha! Always see you with MSFS and now Derail Valley.
Glad to have this back, loved the first series, can't believe it was 4 years ago. Can't wait to see how it has improved.
All we need now is the updated landlord slum game
This game has come a long way. It's looking quite good and the audio is really on point.
Awsome, i revisited this one too a month ago, a buddy of mine wanted to see it. Good idea to get your licenses in now, you'll be upleveled by the time that that new update hits.. to enjoy the new fruits of labour in a more relaxed way... Good luck on the new series, i'll be watching! :)
holy cow, just got it today and its overwhelming. i love it, hope i can learn it soon
very happy to see you back! Game has came along way since you last played so im looking forward to a new series, its also so much more game
in VR
Squirrel, we need episode 70 of my summer car bro...
Definitely
I think he’s done with that till MyWinterCar comes
Yea cone on man I've watched that series 3-4 times all the way through. Just find it funny you left it on 69 😂
Waiting for that since ages 💀
that game sucks
Yes! Squirrel, I love you for this. I enjoyed the other Derail Valley vids so much!
One thing I would look into is manual repair. Using the mechanic station is way more cost effective, especially at the later stages, however even at the early stage it can save you a lot in repairs! (Also gives you an idea on where to be more sensitive with the breakdown of what's been repaired and how much.)
Good to see you back here too!
I just stumbled upon this … this is awesome!
Super excited for this playthrough. I wanna pick up the game myself but its very overwhelming!
5:18 That made me smile. 555 is the area code and the office-line group is reversed. Neat twist.
Oh man I wish this was available for console. This looks so chill.
glad to see back the videos!
Been wanting to play this for ages and I think now's a good time to start! I'm gonna be doing it in VR :)
Love to see these videos return, I have missed it.
This was pretty cool. Appears to be way more in depth than train simulator. I really like the audio. I would watch more of this.
i was missing this game series! Looking forward for more :D
Glad to see you came back to this game, Paul. Please continue this series. I would love to watch them.......👍
I was enjoying the DV series, but you stopped making videos, glad you're back!
When you linked up the brake line and applied pressure it reminded me of the Gard de Lyon incident from 1988 and then when you went downhill and was worried of going off the rails it then reminded me of the El Cajon Pass incident from 1989.....so I know from that how important it is to have brakes on your train
About the run downhill, #Hyce likes to do shenanigans on downhill runs...
I'm just gonna say, an independent brake to stop an actual loaded train will not work. The way to use the train brake is bursts, you quickly pull and release it and it'll apply for only a few seconds as opposed to moving lever to apply and keep it applied.
Great to get you back on TH-cam regularly. Love your vids squirrel
LOL, well, I was not even close to figuring out how to deliver my first Load! Thanks for the TUT!
Really like the last series of deraill valley u made. And the Tennant Carpenter game.. it was a joy to watch that serie. Keep up the good work squirrel.
Yaay, another Squirrel series! Game looks really fun
This is a video i never knew I wanted. Missed your videos Squirrel. Looking forward to this mini series. Been playing a lot of TSW recently and recently got a decent PC so may get this game. I'll keep watching for sure.
Just bought this and I'm really enjoying it....its not to nerdy
Ah, the Squirrel we know and love. Welcome back mate.
Anything past the first few jobs will be good to see.
I like that VR has a teleport, when VRs whole concept is realism lol
Great video, will sub for more
not teleport but continuous movement will make most people dizzy/nauseated or even fall. you can set it as you wish in the menu. I'm a vr sim racer and I'm used to continuous movement while seated. but when I stand up and walk or turn with the controller joystick I struggle to keep balance to stay on my feet. it's a complete mindfuck
Glad ur ok bro ! Nice to see you and fellow sim vehicle operators lmao
Hell yeah Squirrel is back!
Can't wait for DV: Simulator!
very very interesting game, thanks for showing it!
Hi I have been watching your videos for years. From the time of ETS2. It is because of you I started trucking. I subscribe back then as Dwayne Taylor. Thanks to you I have started my gaming channel. THANKS YOU 💞
For VR users, it pays to get 'natural locomotion'. It's a tool from steam that you can use to trick your brain into not having an issue with free movement. Basically you swing your arms like you do while walking or running and it interprets that into free movement in a vr program. Works wonderfully.
Damn, I forgot this hame even existed. Looking forward to this!
Man you really teased us with ‘Derail Valley Simulator’
Woo!! excited for this!
Just a bit of a tip, you can manually turn the turntable with the handles. It's much easier than being in the little controller hut where you can't really see. Especially for turntables with multiple tracks coming out of it. Also, it's a good idea to memorise the keybinds for the train controls, so you don't have to constantly look down at the levers to operate them.
Good tip, although for a first episode, it's good to see what train controls he's actually using at any given time.
The fact that a DV Simulator video has come out means we should get it soon.....
July 2023 looking forward to it.
just fyi, he doesn't have any beta or anything. it's still just Derail Valley Overhauled. Any footage of the update can be seen on the altfuture youtube channel
I just picked this up and am enjoying it. I did my first few jobs before stumbling onto your video but I'm sure this will help. In fact, I was unaware of the shunter radiator being so effective in keeping the temps down; I didn't even consider that. Had a graphical bug where the engine and cars were coupled, but the coupler showed it was uncoupled. Was frustrating to figure out why the cars kept following me until I 'uncoupled' the uncoupled cars, then it successfully uncoupled. :D
I'm really glad this is back on the channel! I've had this game on my wishlist for years now but I think I'm gonna wait for the big update to get it for myself.
i would not advise you to, as the price will rise quite significantly as a result of the update.
@Hugo S I appreciate your advice
Yeah, buy it before update release. Unless you really want to support them.
i figured it out i'm hooked on this game because of your last series I love this game Squirrel
I like how you are not treating this as a game and operating it more professionally and seriously.
alright alright, I`ll download it again
nice your the reason why i bought this game haha. i think it was the 800 ton coal haul video cant wait till the big update
amazing nice work :)❤
This was great! 😊
This is great for people actually wanting to become a train driver for real, Simulation could be used in stacks of ways to learn, Not just flight simulators can teach you step by step how to control vehicles you thought you never could, I started my simulation journey you could call it, With Sim Racing, Tried Euro Truck and found it to be extremely relaxing, Enjoyable for that relaxing gaming day, But now I want to get a joystick or flight stick and try may hand at flying a plane, lol, And now I want to try the train simulation now, lol, Simulation hobby can become an expensive hobby, But done right though and you can get it done at a cut cost, I am even thinking of getting a used or refurbished flight stick for now, I am not bothered by the fact it have been used, It is only a flight stick, But yeah I will be trying my hand at the MSF as soon as i got the flight stick that is, I seen a video of a dude using the Logitech steering wheel for a flight stick, lol, Myself though I would rather use what is meant to be used, A flight stick, lol....
Great video though showing you the in and outs of setting up your license ect, My dad was a train driver for a long time, He have been really ill, Thought we was loosing him, But thank God and the NHS, My dad is pulling through, Getting better, I prayed for my dad to get better and he have, The NHS are amazing as well, Amen for their care, I am thinking of putting a little small form factor PC together for him, Mom and Dad got small place, But an i5 12th gen with one of the AMD GPU's would be enough, I can do my first POV PC build then as well, Be great for my Dad to come home after month after month of being sick to come home and start driving trains again in his little PC room, Gave me ideas after seeing this vid to be honest, I think my Dad would actually love to walk down work lane on a PC, The dev team who put this together are an amazing team, This attention to detail is almost staggering, My Dad always said it is easy to start a train, Try stopping it on the station for passengers, I am understanding why now, lol, Driving a train sounds like life it's self, lol....
Oh yeah hats off to the detail you put up for your site, Looks like a nice PC set up, Will check out more of your vids later on, I am about to do some Simulation myself, Peace......
32:51
At this point I was transporting SM to MF and changed SEVERAL switches quite late ... your sound made me actually think I derailed something xD
i love this game i am completely addicted to it
For a sec I thought Simulator Update is already out. Time to wait again :_D
Noice, but i hope you dont forget about Landlord´s Super. It got many updates.
Same, hope he does more on that. That game was brilliant.
You can use your mouse wheel to control the controls in your train cab, it is better then puuling with your mouse! Try it out, if you want!
Even better is keyboard shortcut keys. You can stand on the cab roof, get a great view and still use them.
Please make more its so good i would love it😊
I had nearly everything and the co-pay was horrific especially if you derail and blow up an oil train. I just went back to this game and had to start again from scratch .. it didn';t remember my last save.. oh well , still fun.
Welcome back!
For a minute there I thought the update had already been released and I'd missed it.
Never played it nor seen a playthrough nor played it, but have seen it in thumbnails on TH-cam. Looks interesting and for now within what is I can imagine is within my workload. but we'll see if I buy to to try for myself after some episodes of the miniseries and the difficulty increases.
Found your channel cause of ets2 but your voice is sooooo relaxing 😎
Nice!
Yes. More of this. Thanks. (:
32:58 The game lets you know with a sound que if you actually did derail, this sound di not play, so no derail event
cue*
Is it only one way? Surely there’s gonna be more trains on the track, not just yourself
This would be a good game to create a tablet app so you can use your tablet to see everything while navigating and keep open what you need
would be awesome if they could implement a option to "live weather" like in flight simulator, takes the real life weather where you at( or the game location) and simulates in game
I would totally get this game if it had coop on it
You do have to be careful when jumping off a moving train. Especially if you're playing with a self imposed challenge of never using the personal teleporter.
It would be funny to see a compilation of you derailing in glorious fashion, or something along those lines.
missed this game.
Love Squirrel mini series'
This game has peaked my interest, might have to get it myself. Thanks for the playthrough.
Beautifull video. 😃
Glad you’re back posting videos, even if it’s not a continuation of Landlords Super 😢
Awesome 👌
This game, but the ability to make custom maps and mods for it, would be epic.
Its called B-2-O (not B20) for Outbound
thanks for the video after i watched it last night i ended up buying the game and be for knowing anything i had played for 6hrs through night and was day light
Hi , good video, looks interesting train sim , but also wondering if going to do videos again for Ats and Ets 2 you did great videos of them
