Train Simulator - AP/GU Class 317 EMU Pack Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ค. 2024
- Took me long enough, but I got there at last. Here is my heavily delayed review of both volumes of the Class 317 pack by Armstrong Powerhouse and GU Studios. Was it worth all the fuss? Watch until the end to find out. As this is also my first TS review in well over a year, please excuse if I sound a little rusty.
Sorry again for the lack of uploads. Life has still been very up and down, but I'm doing all I can to keep on top of other videos I have planned to appear next on the channel. Please do bear with!

GAAAAAAAARRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! Where you been man. It’s been decades 🥲🥲🥲
FINAAAALLYYYY
0:01 "Armstronian Lawnmower" Damn. Literally one second in and you've got a laugh out of me.
YAWWIE IS BACK ON TH-cam!! I have to say that the Class 317 were once the best iconic electric trains with amazing AC traction sound. I do miss them so much.
1:28 “Roll the intro Gary” and the beautiful 317 motor comes up.
Uuh I love the 317 motors
Yawwie We've been waiting so long for this moment!... thank you so much for your commitment to videos!!
Welcome back my friend, hope all is good
Welcome back Yawwie! We missed you!
I love this can't wait for more
The myth the legend is back!
finally thank god your back
Just never fails to amuse me.
I don’t know shit about trains but I like going on train videos and hearing y’all talk about trains
yo ur back, nice video
Great video yawwie
Woooooooooo your back
He ain’t
He will be gone for another 2 months yet
nice review, hes back on youtube for the armcrocs showermouse class 317 vol 2 review.
Bros back after a decade
I mean I ain't such a big fan for EMU's I like the 321's and (sorry to say this) I don't really think much of other EMU's these days, the most I see are the new Greater Anglia class 745's and 755s and those other bombardier replacements for the 321's, damn seats are almost painful to sit on, so rock solid and all. I'll be honest AP has taken a huge downfall, I was much looking forward to grabbing some of those cheap £5.99 sound packs, like the 57, 55 and 47, despite them being dated back quite a bit by now. I dunno if AP is worth much anymore these days. Great come back vid Yawwie! Looking forward to more fun and shirade! :P
HEEEEEEES BACKKKKKKK !!!!
Finally someone who agrees with me on terms of the motor sounds which everyone laughed at me when it first came out
Yeah I remember that time and I did find it a little unfair on you tbh. When it comes to motor sounds in general I have a very good ear for picking out specific details, so I knew all along about the 317 differences. Weird I know but oh well.
Honestly, this alone is why I play TPF2 instead of TS. While there are a plethora of mistakes made in some models, it's still much better and efficient than all these other DLCs TS offers, especially that TPF2's mods are free. Going off on a tangent, at first glance, I thought this was a well done pack(s), but man, all the excuses these guys pull just feel so draining to deal with, not to mention the huge waste of money from having to pay for said DLCs :v
Truly a legend for doing these, tho I kinda feel for your wallet ngl xd
You can't beat a bit of signal and sky enhancement packs.
THIS IS YOUR LATEST VIDEO LITERALLY 4 MONTHS AGO WHERE ARE YOU???
wooo a new yawwie video
I think its a bit pricey but its OK, it adds life to routes so I cannot complain too much. However I wish for less corner cutting
He back
Yeah, AP's antics have been frustrating this year. The Signal EP was not a bad addition if you ask me (though way too pricey), but Sky & Weather 2.0 and Clouds?! They could have just updated the original Sky & Weather pack!
At least the AP/Gu 317 is better than the old freeware one. I've always been of the opinion that close enough is good enough. I don't pay attention to every little detail a unit has, so I don't notice little things like the windows being the wrong size. But I will admit that the reuse of the 319 sounds was genuinely disappointing. I predicted that AP would record new sounds on 317's when the lockdowns ended, and they just didn't do it. Now they can't do it, they're all gone now.
even tho im not from the UK, i feel like it doesnt help that there isnt a heritage railway dedicated to now withdrawn electric trains. plus, asking a TOC to hire an electric train for sound recordings is probably a bit more complicated than doing the same with a diesel one. i hope to live to see the day where an historical electric railway is opened in the UK.
i like AP, i really do, but their increasing inconsistency is very VERY disappointing. and closing the comments section on FB shows how "open minded" they are. at this rate they will just surround themselves with "yes men" who will continue to give them unconditional praise. im sorry but this isnt how things are done usually. you gotta keep an open mind and learn from mistakes. and to have a set standard for their train packs and what not; might be just me but i wish all their trains were made like the Class 411. i (sort of) look forward to see how they will make other stuff like the Class 20, 45, 47, 55, 92, if they get round to them.
I feel like since the start of the pandemic, it has become virtually impossible to get proper recording sessions on mainline trains, unlike heritage trains or ones running on smaller branch lines etc. because big TOC’s simply won’t allow it.
This means that Richard is forced to use less advanced recording equipment on regular services with passengers coughing, moving about, announcement sounds etc. and make do with fairly mediocre sounds and then resample and edit them like crazy, and then recycle where possible on modern units, and why old diesel and heritage units tend to have wayyyy better sounds.
Yesss
Can you review a class 90 or Mk3 carriages?
*10 years later*
Still waiting for Yawwie news
*3 years later*
"Can you move along I'm all outta time cards"
Okay hot take, I very recently got the class 317 pack Vol 1 yesterday for my birthday and one thing I have noticed is that on the ex FCC and Greater Anglia versions there is a bit of wheel slip if you go straight into notch 4 from a stand still. I mean I am planning to get Vol 2 and the class 318 at some point but not anytime soon.
Big up for TF2 Soundtrack
3:14 class 318 has scotrail forgot to add your logo on the Side or has ap forgot about that also hi class 318 262 that has derailed in Largs also yaw you added the info of class 318 in the time of class 314
Other issues I have with the interiors is that it's entirely mirrored, and the door window shapes don't match for the 317/7.
I wouldnt be suprised if they did released the 318 it would just be a re-modelled 150
The class 318 has been released and they bothered to do prm this time
I'm disappointed in the modelling, especially where the cab fronts and imitation 317/7 are concerned. But I will say that, even though I'm a bit put out by the reused 319 sounds, I still like driving the 317/1 occasionally (don't have the 317/2 yet). I'd rather have this than the rubbish freeware model.
Further things that disappoint me are a) the omission of the 318, b) the unreasonably high price, c) AP's gradual decline in quality over time and d) the confusing decision to disable comments on his FB page. Anyone would think that he can't handle negative feedback anymore.
Ong yawwie uploads
0:23 that’s my local station😂
Yawwie did Gary leave you in the fridge for too long?
Fantastic video Yawwie I have missed your reviews I think the model is off and is very disappointing and 24.99 for some clouds 🤬 is just ridiculous and a money grab I mean come on if you need to look at clouds then look up to the sky. I do like the Signal pack I find it makes the game more enjoyable
HE UPLOADED OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Bogie, panto, transformer and traction motor sounds taken from another train that just so happens to use the same bogies, panto, transform and traction motors.
Well I never.
Class 317 I think you are a spy of class 455

I think it would do you some good to try being an MS Flight Simulator fan. £30 won't get you anything near a study level aircraft, there are occasional bargains but £25 will get you a big airport or a few city lighting enhancement packs but generally I find TSC add-ons to be pretty cheap considering the amount of work that goes into them. Your TI Glasgow to Dumblane review will be interesting, riddled with flaws and a very disappointing Class 385.
As for "all this inflation nonsense", I assume you're not the bill payer at home. Just running a modest house is 50% more expensive than it was 2 years ago so Richard, just like everyone else with financial responsibilities, will need to raise prices to continue to make a career out of his company. It's harsh on those who don't have spare cash but all hobbies are expensive, TSC for all its freeware is actually the cheapest hobby I have.
Yeah. I know TS is pretty cheap compared to other hobbies like model rail and Flight Sim as you just said, but the issue is developers always charge more for a route or train than what it's actually worth, considering a lot of the time they're are just plagued with bugs, errors, and inaccuracies that hardly get fixed (Train Sim World being another huge late example). Sadly AP have kind of joined in on that trend. The reason I find the 'inflation' reasoning hard to believe is because from what I've heard, Richard hires contractors and doesn't have any employees. I'm sure someone else can explain it better than I can but that's all I know really. Plus, don't know if I can be bothered to review the new Thomson route lol. I already knew it would be bad even though some feature look decent, and their EULA is stupid so 0 respect to that lot.
Yea u cant comment on Facebook on his Facebook any critical comments u get blocked 😂
Its safe to say ap fell off
I’ll let you know class 317 is dead so does it matter still yes as scrapped or alive trains are still shold be how they sounds like class 313 314 315 all mostly dead but ap seas no loud rawring motors for you to forget it all MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA
I pirated this
💀 💀 💀 good one mate
Sir, the train simulator is a scam, try other simulators please.
