Road Map Train Sim World 6 Roadmap: November 2025

Not to mention the ATSF GP60M isnt even included with that loco pack, its being saved for a "Skin Pack" at a later date.....

 

They'd have to acknowledge the underlying cause to fix it.

It doesn't get fixed until they lose money...

 

Really excited to see what the Firefly team come up with, good bunch of people well known on the forums so expectations are high!

 

Same! I'm hoping we get a teaser for what they're working on pretty soon

 

Please, please, please, this will be the New Canaan Branch >__<

 

Not much news this month. But it`s okay, waiting for the BR 420 and the new German route

 

Let’s face it, that just isn’t true. For over a year now brilliant routes have been ruined by blurry textures, and we appear no closer to a fix than when it began. Just because they’ve said they’re working on it doesn’t mean they are, and certainly doesn’t mean they will. Whilst people continue purchasing broken content, dtg have got little incentive to spend time fixing the biggest issue in tsw.

 

Exactly, I can't say that the latest patch brought any improvement in texture blurring.

 

Even seeing ‘screen grabs’ I’m not entirely convinced its ever coming out at all!

 

I think the 104 DMU will be out before the GWR remaster...and that's all but cancelled

 

Strange that we all know the ScotRail Inter7City is coming but it's still not on the roadmap.

 

Decent roadmap from my point of view as a WCML fan!

Blurry textures are frustrating but haven't stopped me playing. I haven't added the Birmingham to Crewe route yet though as the issues go further than just blurry textures which is a worry. Will jump on when the addon is in better shape and with the 805 I think.

Maybe there will / should be a WCML bundle with a bulk buying discount??!!

 

I mistakenly bought the Bham to Crewe route on ps5 after the update, and it's disappointing. It doesn't crash, but using any of the 350 variants that come with it is frustrating as the textures will blur within minutes.

Weirdly, the 220 doesn't suffer the blurriness. (But the rest of the map does when using the Voyager)

 

Such a shame as I really want to support the developer and enjoy this route, but I can't justify it, particularly not with all the other upcoming things I could spend money on too.

 

That route was the last straw. If a route/loco releases with the texture issue, it's a no buy from me.

 

yes please +1

 

Zumindest die Sachen, die bereits in der August-Roadmap für max. 3 Monate (im Zweifel gerechnet ab TSW-6-Veröffentlichung) angekündigt wurden (Stuttgart - Heilbronn, BR 420 & BR 145 Expert) müssten vor Silvester noch rauskommen, da sonst die 3 Monate nicht mehr passen. Ich gehe stark davon aus, dass diese pünktlich zum oder kurz vor dem Weihnachtsgeschäft raus kommen werden.

At least the items that were already announced in the August roadmap for a maximum of three months (calculated from the TSW 6 release date, if in doubt) (Stuttgart – Heilbronn, BR 420 & BR 145 Expert) should be released before New Year's Eve, otherwise the three months will no longer be sufficient. I strongly assume that these will be released in time for or shortly before the Christmas shopping season.

 

Another roadmap filled with upcoming DLCs (more like half-finished cash grabs!) -a clear reminder that Dovetail’s priorities remain focused on quantity over quality. Instead of addressing the long-standing bugs and unfinished features that have plagued the core game for years, we’re once again presented with a lineup of new content that will likely repeat the same mistakes.

It’s honestly impressive how Dovetail keeps managing to release new DLCs that feel like early-access betas, all while core issues remain untouched. The unfair trade practices, the rushed releases, and the lack of accountability are really starting to define this company’s reputation.
I’m sure we can all look forward to hundreds of new bugs joining the old ones .....the true Dovetail tradition.

Maybe one day we’ll get a roadmap that focuses on stability, quality, and actually finishing what’s already been sold!

 

My biggest fear is that they add too much things to the main game in the yearly edition and can't keep the standards...
And now we have other teams that works on other games....
This remaind me to a video showing the story of the biggest mistake that's Lego have touched some years ago where they've produced too much things instead less but better.
I'm not knowing anything about they're plans but I'm still hoping some day we can see a good product, with less bugs, a lot of love and with good and essential features that can be maintained along the way....

 

2025 timetable for Birmingham Crewe is great hopefully at some point we get the 730s on the route

 

When did "announce" become a noun? The word you're looking for is "announcement".

 

I've been wanting the GP60Ms/Bs for a long time. I want the ATSF versions too. I still want a Spartan Cab GP60 in ATSF Yellowbonnet, BNSF Patched, and BNSF H1 and Swoosh liveries, along with UP, SP, D&RGW, and Patched UP/SP and UP/D&RGW liveries too. Then we need ET44C4s/ACHs, ES44ACs/DCs/ACHs, C44-9Ws, SD75Ms/Is, SD60Ms, SD70MACs, AC4400CWs, and B40-8s/B40-8Ws in game for more BNSF power.

 

I’m glad I’m not the only one! It’s probably ‘dumbed down’ for Gen Z!

 

" announce " Isn't a noun. Makes me cringe as does the verb " reveal " used as a noun, although there's some history there.

 

Will Mildmay still have the two sealed stations with no exits or entrances to the World of those trains? Where do those passengers come from ? Where do they go ? Are these the Escape Room stations ? Oy. How did that get past beta testers ? Then there are the floating OHLE bases along Gospel Oak ... did no beta tester walk that route On Foot ?

 

When does Liverpool finally reach Manchester ? Germany has the same oddities, but this one is the worst to my mind ... other than ? Well, no S-Bahn ending in Heidelberg except in the schedule ... Würzburg unable to reach Aschaffenburg. OK, OK. Maybe those two are worse ...

 

Seems to be a British thing, because the Oxford dictionary does indeed give a noun option for announce. And for our part, Merriam-Webster includes the noun version of reveal.

 

So Content wise I have everything on the PS5 for TSW 6 and it DOES work. Whay doesnt work on your PS5 then?

Hentis

 

But surely thats High Iron's choice? as its your choice not to buy it?

 

Dude. If by works, you mean doesn't crash 9/10 times, yes it does.

Does all the newer content work as intended? No, it does not.

I know you're an ambassor, and you can't say negative things about the game due to fear of missing free content. But you could at least not lie.

I'm on PS5 and there are so many routes that have the memory leak issue. This is why the ONLY decent Ambassador is Richard (Dad Rail). The only one of you willing to criticise the product.

 

Yeah, there's a difference between "it works" and "it works properly"

 

I really hope that the upcoming BR 140 will get the N28H Switchgear ( Schaltwerk ) Sounds!

The sounds currently present on the BR 110 are from a W29 Switchgear, and these are by far not as iconic, as the typical sound of the N28H ( with which most of the BR 110 / 140 have been fitted ).

 

I don't have a PS5 as I play on Xbox but from what if the problems are anything like they are on Xbox then the person is probably referring to blurry textures and crashers etc. The content may load and "work", but if it's blurry all the time and crashes a lot then it really just isn't good enough. I'm surprised you haven't encountered anything not working such as crashes and blurry textures because for most of us on console this happens regularly.

 

Stuttgart, NEC, and most of all I guess, 805, since I like the TSW6 UK stuff... tho I would love a Stuttgart route set in modern times, when the Stuttgart21 station is finished (with its intricate tunnelwork)

 

Alex did a great job of padding out the roadmap with his near rant because once again DTG was called out for asking for feedback then seemingly not being pro-active in being in the forums being confident about things that ARE being fixed and things that would be NICE.

Using AI DTG Candace to reply to forum messages with gibberish.

Hmm, like I said, American Brain, so I'm used to being told we can't post stuff like full timetables of anything public transport except on the main websites of those transport pages.
I know with the Mardi Gras Line we just got back down here, folks were complaining we didn't have updated exact timing on the site but only if you had a ticket and logged in to check it, and someone had to gently remind them there's a reason for that.


And thanks Matt for replying about when will TSR will be in a decent state with ""consider nothing finished..... tsr lengths still need addressing"" even though it was a core feature for TSW6 when it released back in September.

 

Well actually they aren't ignoring it. We all know they are working on it

Also they said this bit......

• Birmingham Crewe Hotfix - October 28th – A small update hotfix to improve memory issues and crashing on Birmingham Crewe following launch, alongside a few other key issues.

Annnnd they also said this bit.....

• TSW6 Core Update #4 (ETA: Week of Nov 10th) - Our next scheduled core update, currently being tested by our teams and aiming to contain further core improvements from feedback following TSW6’s release, and a wider range of improvements for the recently released Birmingham-Crewe route.

Surely you can use some grey matter to realize it's still work in progress and doesn't need to literally be mentioned every single time.

 

That update didn't work as intended though. I naively bought the route on ps5 after that update, expecting the issue to be lessened. But wham, 1st scenario, blurred textures before I got a mile out of New Street.

They've apparently been working on this for over a year now since the issue began with Frankfurt - Fulda. If they were prioritising this, then it'd have been fixed by now. It doesn't get fixed until they lose money

 

It works as in it loads. Fantastic.

Or does it work as we're "sold" it with all layers active and no blurriness and no bugs...

No thought not.

 

Wouldn't surprise me if the attitude was "as long as it loads and the train moves, it works".

 

I don't think anyone has mentioned it, but Matt clearly suggested that the blurry texture issue potentially lies within the map and they are trying to locate the bug that is holding the map ram/data, even when not you are looking at it.

I called it a year ago that it must be one of the issues as BPO on TSW4 was flawless for me (bar Z fighting). It was much worse in TSW5, so put it down to one of the core features in 5s release that must be the culprit.

I also suggested they try a simple fix.
Put it back to Map V1, without the departure data and names.

This could be a really simple way of confirming if this is one of the main core game issues.

 

Sounds to me like it should be an option to have map v1 or v2, or v2 with different features being toggle-able.

 

It being the map kind of makes sense,
Yesterday when doing a 323 service on Birmingham to Crewe I noticed a queue of AI trains stopped as I was going between Smethwick Galton Bridge and Sandwell and Dudley. Whilst stopped at the latter I opened the map to see what the issue was; the 170 at the front of the queue had gotten stuck somehow with a "Stop off path" status. After deleting it and going back to the game world, that's when it blurred (upto Wolverhampton at least when it went back to normal.) Of course, it could have been a coincidence, and other times it blurs without even opening up the map.

 

DTG QA in a nutshell

 

What does work as intended these days? and yes I know thats not an excuse. I have problems on the PS5 with TSW. Infact upto a few days ago TSW 6 was great, since the last update its been a nightmare on the Riviera line. When I played it in my Stream on Saturday I found that I had lost all my progress (Services, Scenarios and Collectables) on the route. Also the 802 had cracking type noises in the audio mix. So I have reported that in the Ambassadors discord for them to look at.

Not only that when I went to drive a service on the Birmingham Crewe route I kept getting the pop up error message below.
Again I have reported this in the discord to Dovetail. and No I am not happy about it.




So fast forward to my members only stream (Sunday night), TSW loads in I have now lost my TSW 6 profile (again this is the 2nd time in three weeks). Level 1202. When I ported it into TSW 6 I was on Level 1185. Its all to do with whats going on in the pic above. Again I have reported it to Dovetail via the Ambassadors discord. So to avoid it happening a third time since installing TSW 6. I have started from scratch with a brand new profile. God knows how many times I have started from scratch through the various releases of Train Sim World!!!

Basically your comment above is a load of ****. If I have something to say about the DLC then I will say it. Whether it be in the Discord or in my livestream or the forums for that matter. I am not afraid of loosing free content*. Past moans in my streams about DLC

• WCML South Timetable,
• Fife Circle The route as a whole and the appauling railtour services that are STILL broke to this day.
• Transporting from One platform to another on Cardiff City Network and The Riviera line, instead of utilising a footbridge or subway.
• The crappy invisible walls on the Riviera Line as well as others too numerou to mention.

* Dovetail approached me to be an Ambassador not the other way around, so they knew what my channel was like.

Dovetail dont tell us what to or not to say. The "you can't say negative things about the game due to fear of missing free content" its obvious BS as rightfully you say that Dad Rail Criticises Dovetail (and rightly so) yet he's still here as an ambassador recieving early access.
In fact I tell a lie, the only thing Dovetail tells us to say is to make sure we make it aware that we get the key as early access. Thats it. One thing I will say though, again and I have said this in my streams. IF I wasnt in the ambassador program, then there would be a few dlc's that I wouldnt touch with a barge pole. Just my opinion. Nothing against Dovetail or not.

Well thats your opinion fair enough. People will have their favourite ambassadors or hate every single one of us.... it is what it is. Trust me theres nothing more than I would love to see is Routes on the PS5, Xbox or PC working like they supposed to hopefully its soon.

Yeah I think it was Mildmay, ECML (Cargo Line timetable) Not the original ECML timetable and now on Birmingham Crewe.
With Mildmay I turned off the 701, 800 and 395 layers.
Eastcoast Mainline Yeah really not sure as to why the blurry textures only affects the Cargo Line timetable and not the original time table.WCML Brum Crewe for me is and was the Desiros - but since the last update it has been less of the blurry textures.

Crashing - well most of the time I play an intensive route I am streaming as well directly from the PS5 so I am putting on extra "pressure" on the system. But if I do play and not stream then routes like Mildmay seem to be ok. Hoping soon they can sort the blurry textures out.

Hentis

 

So which is it? Does it work or not!?

 

In answer to your question and to be perfectly clear it works It boots up, I can navigate the menu system and I am able to play various routes and their Services, Journeys or timetables. I can also use the creator club liveires I have created in creators club in various scenarios that I have made in Scenario designer whilst utilising various custom made formations I have made in formation designer. SO in essence it does what it says on the tin..... in answer to your question.

absurd. it took me 10 seconds to pull up one companies timetable https://www.gobrightline.com/train-arrivals
How do people use public transport if there's no timetable?

 

There is a big difference between the public timetable, so that passengers know when to catch their train, and the working timetable, which includes all the ECS, depot moves and freight that the public passenger TT does not include.
