Engine/Power Response

• The real British Rail Class 221 has a distinctive diesel turbine/engine whine that changes with throttle.
• In TSW6, the engine sound is too flat, lacks dynamic pitch variation, and doesn’t fully reflect acceleration or power changes.

The Formation Designer doesn't support Creator Club right now. Just dumps the entire device you use. I have tried to spawn in multiple Class 170 and Class 220 Formations and Liveries and all with the same result. Base products work, anything other will cause a total loss of my PC until I restart it. Have also tried without Paks and still same result.

Custom tank formation without a loco wont show in list in game

I can only find them under loco custom list if I attach a power unit

Loving the functionality so far, really is a game changer for immersion.
Issues/bugs I’ve found so far…..

1. liveries can’t be selected on lots of things, or at all on pre-made formations. Eg steam locos, locos with coaches that you wish to add to. Seems to be an issue with splitting a fixed formation into its parts breaks livery comparability. Eg all the steam locos are now loco + tender and have no liveries...
