    As a layer, not worth it. It's for AI only purposes for when it crosses the mainline at Old Oak. As an actual DLC however, I'd say it's worth it. Plus new extension coming for it very soon.

    I want to ask the same, as I couldn't find one.

    Not played TSW6, heck, not played TSW, in a while, and GWE was always a favourite, but my biggest issue was it was always like a ghost town, very interested to see how many of the layers I already own to see if it's worth checking it out.

    Cheers.
    A farewell pack for the HST, set in an era where their farewell is still a few years away! :D;)

    I thought about that , wouldn't it need to be doing fair well tours forever,unless you turn it off after a while I guess,but will still be a nice addition to the hst trainsets

    DTG Liam Have you by any chance changed the file structure for the CL484's to get your 'new' LU stock into the game? Only people are now reporting that my LU formations (6-car empty and loaded) have vanished in scenarios in TSW6 when they appeared correctly in TSW5. (I've not upgraded myself so I cannot double check).

    The pack will also layer onto Riviera where it's more relevant as the HSTs are finally going there. Also the pack has several of the special liveries GWR did for the HSTs in their final years on the mainline like the Welsh dragon one.

    I mainly use TSW to ride trains as I can’t see well enough to drive. Is there any means of me riding the 387s as a passenger or would this have to wait for the update

    Having recently changed platforms can I ask what time this will be available on steam? I’m guessing it will be 6pm?

    This is a reminder for players on PC - You might have installed mods that are likely incompatible with the remaster update. Make changes now to avoid disappointment. (updated with file names and according to feedback)
    For example:
    • Class 166 TOD4 patch: may no longer be needed. (!Laika-GWRClass166-Patches.pak)
    • Modified Time of Day System for UK Routes: Will cause the route to stay in TOD3, just like when CCL remaster was released. Sign of this issue is usually extremely bright signals. (Aran-GWE-Time-of-Day-Update-v1.0.pak)
    • Lighting & Visual Quality Enhancement: Route will not look good as intended. (Edit the per route config and override with another TOD4 route config)

    Blurry texture fix definitely won’t be in this release. I thought they were still in the testing phase for the inevitable fix.

    First they will do a test with an update for SEH and thats not a global fix to the core.

    The actual fix will be a core feature for TSW7. Shocking that it's taking a team the size of DTG this long to fix a memory leak.

    Might be an unpopular one but shame it wasn't a GWE remaster set in early 2019, that way the entire line would have been electrified and you still get the HST runs....Im still going to enjoy it as it looks great from the pre-release vids and the TT is plentiful but its going to be a slight bugbear for me personally.

    With regards to the lighting and visual quality mod, I've had to remove it to get the correct lighting. Wish I had done this earlier as if you watch my videos posted yesterday the colours are all washed out, however on yesterday's stream, recorded after I had removed the modified ini, the route looked gorgeous.

    You wouldn't happen to know the name of the files for the Class 166 mod and Modified Time of day - I've done searches for them but not returning anything obvious. I remember I deffo downloaded the 166 mod but I can only find a sound mod in my files

    So with this impending upgrade, Does this mean that the 166 layered into BML is being updated?

    I think as it’s an update rather than a new release that it could change the release timings on Steam today, which is welcome.

    Fired it up on PS5 just to do a spot of train spotting from the new Ealing Broadway, everything looks so good and seems rather busy.

    Have to go to work soon so may have to be on steam on the laptop during the day for a play.

    DTG Liam really love that you can spawn in the 387 either AirPort Express or GWR unbranded but I cant get it to set a path from either Reading or Paddington and tried at different times of the day. Is this a fault or impossible due to the timetable?

    I've seen others do it so I want to say the timetable is just busy to set a path at the time you tried.

    Does the Series S has a reduced timetable? I have no 350 and also not both the underground trains.

    Did you do any fixes for the diesel legends journey mode as service 5x03 still spawns stuck under coach’s making the journey mode impossible to complete

    Fantastic update, thanks Liam!
    Just to note - still getting false AWS alerts for speed restrictions at diverging junctions which do not apply for the straight ahead path.

    I don't know if this has been said as well, but there's also the mod "tmSpikeesCabCamFixesTSW5.pak" (I forgot the name of the mod on TS Community) which gives a strange texture on the 165/166 + No PIS in your train

    Really enjoying the GWE Remaster has brought back so many wonderful memories of this my favorite route now replaying with a big smile as the lighting is simply wonderful for early and evening runs.
    Thank you DTG Liam and DTG Staff and testers and any others behind the scenes THANK YOU!!
