    I thought that I would be able to start installing 131 pieces of prior content from 4PM, but apparently not...

    So, what's the timeline for this to be working then?

    Check the store directly; that worked for me. At least for some DLC.

    I guess the system needs a few minutes before it realizes you already own the add-on.

    I was aware that it was 4pm but like their 10am releases it takes hours for them to come available without a DTG link.

    Give it a try tomorrow, but don’t hold out for much hope.

    Because it takes a week or more to reinstall all my content on a slow internet, l have decided only to import Manchester Airport Commuter and the two Just Trains Routes for now and keep TSW5 as it appears more stable than TSW6 to me.

    Just noticed that the MBTA Providence/Stoughton Line HSP46 add-on isn't included, which was originally free if you owned the route.

    Does this need looking into DTG Harry?

    Nothing showing for my on Xbox yet in terms of my backwards compatible routes.

    Had a quick look on PS5 where I own a small handful of content and that’s all working fine.

    This happened when tsw5 came out last yr. the same exact thing happened. I guess there will be some wait time again. Hoping that it won’t happen like this but I guess it did

    For the HSP46 Add-on now showing up as free for previous owners or for owners of Boston, I'm currently looking into this and will update you when I can.

    Search "Train Sim World 6", tab to add-ons, and they should be there, or go to the store listing for the base game and scroll down to add-ons, where you should find an expandable list of 134.

    If we own a route though gamepass like wcml London to Milton Keynes how does that work. Do we have to buy the route or are we still entitled to it through game pass

    Just done a Full restart of xbox consol and followed steps as highlighted, but no addons are available to download when going to TSW6. The only content available is that which has already been installed from 25th Sept in the pre-launch phase. Nothing else available to download.

    Further update: Are people able to check the HSP Add-on in the store section instead of the manage add-ons section?

    Same with other compatible content!

    On add ons section I manually downloaded everything as soon as it was on store page so been like this from the moment it went up I'm guessing it to do with that the people that owned Worcester line got this pack for free could be entailment issue with the pack

    For xbox, a few items were showing for me as if I had to buy them again on the dlc listings page. If i selected one as if i was going to buy it rather than showing the purchase page it then told me I already owned it and I could then add it to my download queue so might be worth trying that.

    So the HSP46 Add-on pack is free if you own:
    • TSW5 HSP46 Add-on
    • TSW6 version of MBTA
    Please make sure to check the store page as opposed to the add-ons manager.

    At release time, I had only one DLC train in the add-on manager. In the store, there were some add-on visible at the free starter pack page. Some of the owned items where not marked as owned and a few minutes later there where no add-ons listed at all.

    I wanted to start with DRA, this one was was not listed at all, so I search for Dresden, and it found the correct DLC. So if you miss something, search for it in the store.

    Can I confirm if you've read through our TSW6 Installation FAQs and Compatible content guidelines? You may be able to find some support here.
