    Why only 5 station of 13 represented on photo map?

    Hopefully the "Live Weather" can be fixed ahead of launch because it looked terrible on the stream, the transitions were immediate and clearly needed some work.

    Also on the LiveStream Matt stated that ""A number of Industry Lines will not be available/accessible upon launch"" can we get some clarification as to what exactly that meant, and if the fix is already completed awaiting an after launch quick patch please dtg_jan

    Thanks.

    It was quite comical Matt describing how the dynamic weather's been updated to have smooth transitions then literally every weather transition on the stream was instantaneous.

    What we saw on stream was "Live Weather" which appears to have some bugs.

    "Dynamic Weather" that Matt discussed being totally overhauled, was not shown on stream.

    actually, he did put Dynamic on the second service using "Dynamic light clouds" but didn't run the full service so it wasn't long enough to change

    Hmm so DTG stated that the stone hopper cars are increasingly rare? Now I am not sure if that is fully true as over here on the East Coast on the LIRR. The NYAR uses these stone hopper cars from CSX and NS over the Hell Gate Line, to transport stone and stone cars to Long Island. I have attached a video I made and posted to Youtube that features the NYAR and their operations with said stone hopper cars!!!

    My video:

    Included is various NYAR moves and trains alongside the LIRR!!! Including those blue stone hopper cars. The ones seen here are blue, but they are functionally the same cars. However I have noticed in recent years the amount of them have dropped significantly!!!

    I like a lot about this route, but sorry, I can't stand it... How can it just ends in the middle, we got some west coast routes that are end to end, but Florida can't be made as a whole route? It spoils all the fun for me at least, after driving two services (loco + cab car) I'm probably not going back for a while. Such a shame....

    Has anyone managed to complete the Micro Drop scenario for the full 500 points? I’ve tried several times, but I always only get 250 points once, and then it ends.

    Playing with a cab car train (PC/Steam)
    In-train announcement volume is still too low.
    Please fix the bug in "Automatic Train Conductor Mode" where the HUD incorrectly indicates that doors on both sides are open at certain stations.

    Having started my first run at Boca Raton I can only agree. A two track station in the middle of nowhere is not a suitable location to start and finish the route. It would be like Riviera Line terminating at Dawlish or Starcross not going on to Exeter. We are paying DTG a lot of money for these routes, they need to call the team back in to finish the job which should be released at a no extra cost extension.

    I feel really short changed on this route . 1 it doesn't go full length. 2. So few jobs. 3. There is nothing special about deluxe loco feels like any other freight loco.

    I immediately thought that about the GP49, what is so special about it to justify it being deluxe and £14.99 when it releases as a separate item. Sounds like every other GM if anything a bit more muffled. This is why IMHO DTG need to start delving into the past with more interesting motive power such as Alco, Fairbanks Morse or Baldwins.

    I would feel really ripped off paying almost £45 for both and top it off the f40 and rotem cab safety systems dont work and score properly.

    Really, coming to Boca Raton makes you wait for a splash screen "You have reached limits of the demo version, buy the route to unlock further access!"

    Question.... How do i activate all the saftey systems? Only Shift+Enter? In the cab car they are not enabled by default, and I can’t find any button in the cab for the alerter. I only found the ATC, but that doesn’t have any function.

    Yeah, probably why I'll never buy it. Though it looks interesting, I especially like the look of the GP49. But I have enough incomplete routes already. The San Bernardino line and the CalTrain ones are at least complete length, while having a similar vibe. The GP49 would be the only saving grace for me, but if I remember correctly, we have an NJT route coming up with a similar loco, so I'll probably go with that one instead.

    The most frustrating thing about these half finished routes is that they will most likely never be completed. Because noone will make the remaining section as a standalone add-on, as the remaining distance it not great enough to justify a standalone route DLC. But a chances for it to be extended are very slim as well, especially so because they only ever do makeovers to UK routes... So we're stuck with a half-route that ends nowhere.
