    That's fine, I already do this a lot of times in real life anyway :cool:;)

    Agreed, but I can imagine this to be hard to implement. You'd have to pick up the controller in the cab, and we all know how well TSW does with movable objects, especially interactive ones.
    I usually do make-believe with taking the external camera to the rear of the train.

    It's been mentioned in the stream that the traction lock can be bound to a key/button.

    Same here, I turned off the Driver Assist as a PITA. Looks like I will be running without faults enabled then.

    Same here. But since it seems we will only get stuck wipers and defunct lights as faults at the beginning, we won't miss out on much...

    This is great, of course, but I play with a gamepad and would not like to use the keyboard. Therefore, it is a natural question, considering that there is no keyboard on consoles. Will it be in the second feature set?

    I think we really need to detach all locomotives from routes. Imagine if the 363 and 143 from DRA was separate to the route, you could uninstall the route, but keep the trains to layer onto the new route. Similarly if there was just one Class 66 that just layered onto every UK route instead of having 10x different versions of the same thing.

    Considering the fact that the Dresden - Leipzig route does not bring any new locomotives or wagons, it would certainly be very nice if the 1442 S-Bahn set was also included ..... implementation via the DLC layer and the necessary purchase and layering of another map seems unfortunate to me .......

    And then one observation, I don't know if it's the work in progress style, but it seemed to me that there wasn't extra heavy traffic there, nor were the freight stations crowded at all......

    Red light problem, couldn't complete the service.
    PC with all layers turned on and it's almost a ghostown.
    It's got 'Wait for sale' in big letters.

    Hoping the other two are better.

    In my opinion, the Dresden–Leipzig stream was an insult.
    Nothing has been improved in the old part of Dresden–Riesa; the old overhead lines are still there, while the new part has new overhead lines.

    And the best part was that the ICE was stopped at a red signal in Dresden because loads of trains weren't moving, even though the train had a green signal.

    And in 14 days, TSW6 will be released, and you couldn't show these new features in the stream either, because they don't even work yet.

    How is the dispatcher supposed to cope when the new features are activated if he can't even manage it when they are deactivated?

    For me, this route is simply not what one would have expected.
    Once again, the motto here is ‘little work, lots of money.

    Considering the work that went into the minimal hud and reducing tbe reliance on driver assistance etc to release a feature that requires driver assist to be turned on seems like a backwards step.

    Driver Assist is a major immersion breaker for me so I won’t be turning that on, however I’m sure I’ll be able to work out when the wipers have stopped working so not sure why we’d need it? Lights in daytime might be a little more problematic I guess.

    Doesn’t look good does it. A lot of stuff l feel is released far too early and then we have to wait for a fix.

    My biggest gripe is that TSW6 is a separate game and doesn’t install over TSW5 and we annually have to redownload all our content again which is a real pain in an extreme slow internet area.

    Exactly as you write, I definitely have mixed feelings about it and I'm not in a position to have it pre-ordered and be in a position, I have to have it ....... and the English and American railways are a marginal topic for me, more of a local distraction ...... I'm a little disappointed and when I see the style it's starting to take shape in again, I don't expect much improvement on these consoles, quite the opposite .....
