    Some of the sound and propulsion is not matching up with the one in real life from the team, i think that they need to fix lots of stuff such as the catenary wire, the sound and engine and horn, and bell need to be louder and brighter, the light in the front need to be brighter especially driving in the night along with the ditch light for the MBTA Diesel that need to flash up and down as you can see from this railfan video

    Timestamp: 30:45- 31:57- Ditching light on the headlight and front center diesel loco

    I hope we’ll see the Hsp46 added onto Boston sprinter in a future update sometime this year.

    If you think that'll be an update (i.e. free), forget it. It would be a payed DLC. Plus the Acela is most likely as a DLC, it's got provisions in the timetable, for starters.

    Realistically the Acela wouldnt just be a loco, it would require 5 different models, the 1st class car, business class car, cafe car and end business car. The end business car & 1st class car having one door on each side and the remainder having 2 doors on each side.

    As such is it really going to be a profitable DLC at the standard loco DLC or would it need the community to be willing to pay more than the standard loco DLC and more importantly will they?

    The Hsp46 could be a standalone loco - although I'd love to see a double deck cab car and double deck coach included as well.

    Do the HSP 46s even do the Providence and Stoughton routes? I though they all ran to Haverhill and the west.

    No idea if they ran during the period the route is set in, but theres plenty of videos and imagery of Hsp46's at Providence for example

    With regard to the lighting on the loco the brightness of the lights is a thing across all locos not just this one. And the ditch lights do flash like in the video you posted so not sure what the issue is you are having there.

    To get them to flash you have to have front lights set to bright. They will then flash when you press the horn (but only whilst the horn button is held in). Or press the bell button and let go and they will flash for as long as the bell is ringing (So exactly like in the video you posted).

    I thought that was to do with them being LED lights and the flashing effect being to do with the camera and fps being used in the video?

    Also even though I turn the bell on in a little while the flash stop blinking, without me turning the bell off. I think this is a bug that they need to fix

    I don't think that's the flash, you can see it at my first post The 11:25 Train moving out of Boston Terminal
    Timestamp : 0:58
    As you can see they do blink right in the center.

    Yeah, that's what I was talking about, I don't see this happen in-game.

    No I mean I still only see them flickering because of the camera not actually flashing in reality.

    ok thanks for clearing that up, but the headlight is still the problem like you said, as well the signal system, and in-cab at or ats system in the amtrak ACS 64 V, I overshot road interstate station because as I come close to the station. My FPS started to drop to the red zone and glitched. I can't play this route until they fix this problem.
