Additional Class 805 Updates Alongside the GWE Remaster update, we will additionally have changes from the All Aboard Studios team that fixes a few key issues with timetable services, and also removes various layers on Xbox platforms that are causing the systems to run out of memory and causing crashing. These reductions do not impact any other game platform. The ABS team are continuing to investigate ways to help support performance, and these changes should allow Xbox players to experience the Class 805 without crashing at a frequent rate. Avanti West Coast Class 805 Updates Fixed an issue causing various WCML South timetable services to spawn players on foot instead of inside the train Fixed an issue causing the Avanti logo to display incorrectly in direct light Fixed an issue causing constant Driver Assist pop-up messages Fixed an issue where the safety isolation light comes back incorrectly Fixed an issue with incorrect onboard PIS text Xbox Platform Layer Reductions Removed Freight layers from scenarios on Xbox to prevent 'Out of Memory' crashing Removed Intermodal and HKA layers on Xbox to prevent 'Out of Memory' crashing Removed AI Class 390s at Euston on the 'Bound for Edinburgh' scenario to prevent 'Out of Memory' crashing Removed static layers on Xbox to support greater performance Please let us know if you are continuing to experience issues with crashes and performance following this update in our Class 805 Feedback Thread. Known Issue for PS4 Players As our testing has concluded for the GWE Remaster, we want to let players on PS4 platforms aware of an issue we've encountered causing trains to derail after starting some specific services, that we were unfortunately unable to resolve ahead of our planned launch. Currently, we've found this impacts two services: 4E03 and 4L58, with the derailment occuring after you depart from Reading. We apologise for this remaining in the builds, and we're working on a post-release patch for this issue. We hope you are still able to enjoy the remastered improvements, and we ask that if you find other areas of derailment, or any feedback for our team to be aware of, please share them in our GWE Remaster Feedback Thread.

It’s great to have this route remastered but have DTG missed a trick? Paddington to Reading is now the Elizabeth Line and extends to Whitechapel, only four more stations needed for the full line. Many in the forum have asked for the Elizabeth Line, so what is DTGs take on this for the future DTG Harry?
they haven’t ’missed a trick’, the route is set in 2017, before the elizabeth line opened. it would also require lots of dev time
Great work it looks fantastic i dont have the 350 do you have to own London to Milton Keynes to get it
Not to mention the amount of tunnels that would need light baking, it’s ATO with platform screen doors and while the 345’s look smart they are another modern one handle EMU.
The Elizabeth Line also goes a fair bit further than Whitechapel. Most of it is underground for that section anyway so it could get a bit boring.
Series X player here, unfortunately we're just going to have to expect blurry textures until it's fixed by the team
Had a quick look on the PS5 this morning (will stream it tonight) But performance around Paddington, Ealing Broadway, Acton* was between 30 and 60fps it wasnt bad but after playing the last week or so on PC it is noticable. I have to admit (my god) the PC version is the Dogs Danglies at the moment. It just looks and plays superb. DTG Liam has done a bloody good job as well as Rhys doing the sound. AS I said it was just a quick couple of runs on the PS5. * I did have a custom liveried 66 at Acton as well. Hentis
It took them just 7 minutes to get a brand patch mod out! I knew they would be quick but that was fast
A quick question if anyone can help. How many services does Cargo Line 1 (Petroleum) and 4 (Military) add? They are some of the few layers I don't already own, but unfortunately there's no way to know how much a layer adds until you buy it.
First ever mod I have installed for TSW 6. What a difference it makes The Mod is below. (PC Only) https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/m...reat-western-branding-patch#item-dependencies
Mods can bring a huge upgrade to the game so keep youre eyes on the TSC community website i should say
Just testest guard mode. The guard panel on the HST (only tried FGB so far) opens the doors on the wrong side. So if you use the guard panel thats platform side, it will open track side and vice versa. I don't think that's right.
Hello everyone, We have now confirmed with our teams that gen-8 platforms (PS4/Xbox One) will see reductions to the 2017 timetable layers in our update today, and we apologise we weren’t able to confirm this messaging alongside our launch this morning. Please find all the details below, including the total services that you can expect to find. Gen-8 GWE Remastered 2017 Timetable Service Totals: 2,340 total services 942 playable (Overall, a 50% reduction in total services, and a 29% reduction in playable services). Layers included: Cargo Line Vol. 2 – Aggregates Island Line 2022: BR Class 484 GWR HST Farewell Pack (Coming soon - added once it releases) To confirm, these reductions will only affect players on PS4 and Xbox One platforms and will help maintain a healthy performance and smooth experience on these platforms. We hope players on PS4/Xbox One are still able to enjoy the new remaster, as well as the updated environment and scenery improvements, and we ask for any feedback in our feedback forums.
steam doesn't push anything or dictate when anything release on their platform. dovetail pushed their update. i dont know why they refuse to release dlc earlier on release dates
I do understand it wrong maybe but you pressing the right red button, then the right hand doors are open when you press the left red button, the left side doors are unlocked... You pressed the right button so doors are open on the right but the platform is on the left so you should pressed the left red button. There is for both doors 1 gaurd panel.
What about ps5 i am having issues with the route not show all the train that you can control in timetable mode
So this was a route that I had never really had any interest in, even going as far back as Railworks. I only ever completed one timetable run and that was in the HST from Paddington to Reading. I fired it up today and wow, it really does make a lot of difference, it feels so alive thanks to all of the layered in stock and a much busier timetable The lineside clutter and engineering crews really make it come alive too. I did a quick HST run from Paddinton to Reading and then changed platform and did another one in reverse, I can really see myself spending a lot of time on this route now I did notice one bug though, I think it's probably a glitch or a core issue, having returned to Paddington I'm prompted to lock the doors, despite doing that it will not trigger the "end of mission" - even releasing and closing the doors several times, even manually closing them etc doesn't work. It's not really a gamebreaker as personally I'm in it for the trains and not to "collect" diagrams.
