Xbox What Routes Are Non Blurry

Hi all,
Are there any UK routes on this platform which are non blurry, have JT routes which suffer WCMLS which suffer and a few more. Running with layers on all routes as I am loathe to remove any because this is what this game is advertised to do... run routes with layers enabled.

Thank You

Regards

 

Older routes or routes that a light on traffic. Medway Valley is a recent release that performs very well for example

 

Glossop line, SEHS, Medway valley, BCC without the BR170 add-on, Suffragate line and most likely more

 

I recently tried East Coastway Remastered and it also seemed to not blur and we had all the layers

 

From my experience on the Playstation 5 - Island Line 2022, Midland Main Line, East coastway, Tee's Valley, Northern Transpenine, Medway Valley, Glossop Line, Birmingham Cross city (without the 170 timetable)

the rest will come and go (the blurries i mean) - i know you are after Xbox, but a lot of the older ones were also solid on my PS4 so should be prety good bets on an Xbox

 

I tested on PS5 Pro Preston - Carlisle this week, everything needed is installed, but I turned off the two static layers of the parked cars in Steamtown and Kingsmoor and turned off Substitutions, so only the original Class 87 and the original Mk3 and Mk2 cars ran, the Class86/2 package was empty in terms of functionality and it did well. The direction Preston - Carlisle without blurring and the opposite direction slight stripes at Mk3 in Oxeholme, that then immediately returned to normal and then in Preston slightly the whole locomotive and the stripes of the wagon, all just zooming into the model with the camera.
But there may be situations with the busiest traffic and it may be otherwise, that cannot be contained relatively easily

 

Depends on who you ask.
It's kind of like asking "what car can drive nice?"
Well almost any car CAN drive nice in some situations.

 

Thank you all for taking the time to reply some good pointers to take on board.

Regards

Cajon pass or us routes

 

For what it’s worth SEHS should now be fine post Medway Valley release.

 

Great stuff, assumed as much, just haven’t had chance to check since the update.

 

I did a service from Faversham last night on XSX using the full timetable and didn't have any blurry textures, before the update they'd seem to start going blurry by the time I'd get to Stratford. The addition of suspension update to SEHS makes it even better too!

 

So what’s the change that’s made SEHS go from being a blur fest to not so?

Why are other routes not being fixed with said change & why are routes still coming out with blurring in effect?

Be nice to have some real conversations about this problem outside of Matt brushing it off with “hurr hurr consoles” & devs being too scared to say if it’s on their routes or not.

 

When Firefly were doing Medway Valley DTG gave them access to SEHS to do some optimisation to see if it improved things. Whilst they were at it Firefly added suspension too which further improved it.

 

Amongst other improvements to the trains, it was the texture optimisation we did to the SEHS rolling stock as a proof of concept (which originated from our own rolling stock and asset production) that has improved the situation, genuinely saving a huge amount of memory.

As Matt has said elsewhere, other first (and some third) party content is being worked on but it is by no means a small task to undertake, and this runs alongside other work that DTG are doing elsewhere

 

It may have changed since I last played it but Cathcart (380 Timetable) is awful for blurry textures if the Pendolino is enabled. A guaranteed blur-fest. You can tell, as well, because if it randomly starts mid-run you can see a 390 enter the map.

 

SEHS was never a problem for me in the first place, even though Matt said it was a blurry route.

 

I’ve had occasional blurry textures around Ebbsfleet but that’s about it, it’s always run well for me. Had a go today and definitely not a blurry texture in sight and ran VERY smoothly too. Such a great route.
