About This Content The Class 442 ‘Wessex Electric’ (or 5WES) electric multiple unit (EMU) was introduced in 1988 on the South Western main line between London Waterloo and Weymouth. Their introduction coincided with the completion of the electrification from Bournemouth to Weymouth.The units were initially used solely on the Weymouth line, but through the 1990s began to be used on the London Waterloo to Portsmouth direct line. Upon privatisation, the whole fleet passed to the South West Trains franchise, and then to Southern. In 2008, Southern began a refurbishment programme that saw all Class 442 units pass on to Gatwick Express services between London Victoria and Gatwick Airport, and at peak times to Brighton.Dedicated services between the UK capital and the country’s second busiest airport began in May 1984 with air-conditioned InterCity Mk3 coaches operated by British Rail. In 2008, Gatwick Express ceased to exist as a separate franchise, being merged into the Southern franchise.Despite their popularity on Gatwick Express services, all 24 trainsets are due to be replaced by Class 387 units in 2016 with the 5WES’s future still to be determined.The 442 currently holds the world speed record for a third-rail electric multiple unit on conventional rails with 108mph (174 km/h) attained in April 1988, although the designed operational top speed of the units is 100mph (161 km/h).The BR Class 442 for Train Simulator reproduces the Gatwick Express service as it operated for Southern from 2008. The five-car units comprise of Driving Trailer Standard (DTS), Trailer Standard (TSO), Motor Luggage Composite (MLC), Trailer Standard Wheelchair (TSW) and Driver Trailer Standard (DTS).The train is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the Gatwick Express Class 442 ‘Wessex’ on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam.

The modelling is great and it fantastic to look at. Other then that the sounds are not impressive, quite standard (and recycled clearly) which then makes it a less of good experience to drive. But generally that is what is expected, to conclude its a fantastic addition to the game and for the Brighton Mainline route!. Long awaited missing chunk in the L2B puzzle ... Despite the fact Its taken more than three years since the release of L2B for this essential piece of stock to finally to show up it still feels rushed and half hearted ... It looks fine but poor cab functionality, (missing keybindings for funtions such as DRA, guards return buzzer etc & missing funtions such as DSD etc) and diabolical (copy-n-pasted) sounds and rollercoaster pysics make this asset almost undriveable in its current form ... This asset only has value as AI so in my opinion not worth purchasing UNLESS: 1, Its deeply discounted 2, Until it becomes a staple of L2B scenarios, replacing the 444 repaint that has been the standard stand in for the last three years3, RSC radically patch it.or4, AP make a sound pack that fixes many of the issues like they did rescuing the 319 from the digital skipUntil any of the previous criteria are met save your money.. Typical Dovetail daylight robbery. Shocking lack of thought and attention to detail.The real gripes:- They haven't bothered to model the Gatwick Express platforms at Victoria. You use the same ones as the Brighton line.- Sounds like a blender with a potato in it.- The carefully modeled bird turd on the window (honestly, how did that make it through product review and testing as a 'good idea'.- The included scenarios are rather lacking in thought.. I'll sum it up fastGood stuff: Nice colours, great for scenarios, amazing trainBad stuff: my passenger view broke, this might not happen to youGreat stuff: Armstrong Powerhouse released a sound pack for it, making it even betterOverall: amazing, worth \u00a312 )however many dollars). This Gatwick-Express (Class 442) Add-On is a very good train for the London-Brighton-Route. The train belongs to London-Brighton (even a must-have).| Features and pros |- very good model of the train \/ great cab \/ passenger view with details (best modelling)- fine light effects (headlights with 4 versions of marker light)- nice sounds (alert sound, doors, bell, horn, brake, approach)- new door animation (with correct sound)- a lot of control buttons and switches- lights in cab (cab light, buttons lights, instrument lights)- great window-reflection effects- good physics with 2 brake variations- great animated destination-board (Gatwick Airport, London Victoria, ...)| Bugs and cons |- quiet sound unusually--> result: This Class 442 Add-on is a great expansion for the Train Simulator and includes a lot of nice features (some features are new) and the train is well-made. An real asset for Train Simulator. -- definite recommendation to buy --[29.05.15]. I'll sum it up fastGood stuff: Nice colours, great for scenarios, amazing trainBad stuff: my passenger view broke, this might not happen to youGreat stuff: Armstrong Powerhouse released a sound pack for it, making it even betterOverall: amazing, worth \u00a312 )however many dollars). 1. DSD that has no sound2. No key to press to acknowledge guards buzzer3. No key to activate\/deactivate DRA4. Poor LOD's on windows giving a flickering effect as you go past. Several problems with this because its been rushed (as usual with content) 1. The sound are a country mile inaccurate2. the guards van is completely wrong and needs to be completely remoddled 3. The running numbers are wrong the 442 only goes up to 442424 and i got 442430 on a earlier run4. the equipment boxes under the guards car ain't attached to anything they're just hanging in midair5. the passenger view has a glitch where a snowy background on the wall between the seating and doors areneed i say more wish i hadn't bothered buying itif your looking for a slick model don't buy this one because you'll just be fustrated in the lack of quailityMsg to dovetail !!!!!MAKE SOMETHING DECENT & TAKE YOUR TIME AND DONT RUSH ADDON CONTENT!!!!!For a more detailed view visit my blog on it at: http:\/\/dtgarrg.blogspot.co.uk\/2015\/05\/class-442-what-mess.htmlBAAAADDD!!!
