    Yeah, that achievement never sat well with me. It promotes overspeeding while also making a function on the unit unrealistic... Anyway, the achievement is no longer in place, so there isn't really a reason for DTG to not correct the speed limiter in TSW5.

    Some feedback concerning the ECML and the MML class 43.

    Photo mode/ Poor Layers.
    (This is something I’ve encountered on the WCML Preston to Carlisle. (A Route that seemed okay until purchasing the class 86)
    A similar situation of seeing through models.

    The following photos, taken on the ECML, with a MML 43.

    No matter how close or how far from object it will remain as seen.

    Also I’ve experienced a lot of crashes on loading into time table mode. Be with in game stock or LD vehicles it will not load in to certain routes. I do have that information somewhere and only for the routes I’ve come across. How many are affected I’m not sure unless I did a full test on each route.

    With TSW6 coming along soon I’m not sure how important this or the crash issue are.
    The information is there and again evidently something deeper is not right with TSW5.

    ✌.

    So did the 43 work ok before you purchased the 86/2 and what system are you on?

    I can’t say with any certainty as first time using ECML with a Class 43, but I have noticed a massive drop in graphics AFTER I bought the 86 add on and after the last update. The whole quality of layers on in game models at times drops off like what I’ve shared.
    Mostly in photo mode. The layers will clear up tho if I restart from the menu. Yet in photo mode mostly on the Preston Carlisle route do I get really bad texture and will remain like that even after a menu restart.

    I’ve given up to be honest with you because I feel DTG pushed the boat out with TSW5 so have encountered more issues now than after release. I think they know this, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they cant wait to see the back of TSW5.

    Have you encountered the same or similar issue?,,oh and I’m on PS5.

    Just thinking on tho and not sure if this helps anyone in the same boat.
    I know the game is struggling in performance so to help this DTG added a new feature in the settings menu where you can turn on Ai liveries, etc.
    DLC content that works or is combined can be tuned on or off and so can formations.
    I think I had my liveries set to ON. On means the game will struggle with layers. Off means it runs a lot better.
    Yet this can’t be the case here for like I mentioned in the first post is, I’m currently working on TSW4 which doesn’t have that new Ai or UGI feature like TSW5 does.

    ✌.
