    Should be under layer selector?

    Delivery runs I’m guessing - they were built in Germany

    The great news is that this is already possible! Just use layer selection and do it yourself. However, recent discussions have suggested that removing layers may not be the best solution to the blurry textures problem. On the other hand, if you put in the the work and find out, for example, that SKA runs great with certain things removed, that could be helpful for DTG to optimize the game. I do feel that any suggestion to remove something from the game might get pushback from others who don't like it when they lose content. Not that anyone is obligated to worry about how others perceive them, but if you want to be taken seriously it can sometimes help to consider the point of view of others.

    The Layer selection is pretty bad, First you can’t remove Subs like the 112 and 114 on RE Services, and Second You can’t Save the Settings for all, Because the Game activated Everything again

    The layer selection tool is definitely pretty bad as you say, primarily because it doesn't save anything. So, no argument there. But, that does not preclude you from experimenting yourself and finding out if some of your proposals actually work. I also doubt that excluding specific locos, but keeping the layers would have much of an effect on performance. The focus should be on fixing what is wrong with the game. Content removal should not be a serious consideration.

    DTG deleted the whole Subs for Frankfurt S-Bahn because of the Bad Memory Optimization.
    That’s why there is only the 143 with Dostos or the Vectron for any freight Service available on PC

    Hey, wir haben den 23.Mai. Und noch nicht den neuen Fahrplan für Köln Aachen für Ps5 . Ebenso gibt es keine Informationen von Matt und Kollegen, ob dieser Fahrplan überhaupt noch kommt. Er ist für mich Voraussetzung für den Kauf der Strecke S-Bahn Frankfurt. Obwohl die für die Ps5 reduziert ist.

    I know, it seems kind of crazy that since being released for Steam the new timetable has accidentally been released for both Xbox and PS4, but not PS5 (or Epic). All I can really say is that SKA runs great on Series S (besides texture blurring that is present in much of the game right now) and I hope that it gets "officially" released soon so that everyone can enjoy it.

    True. And, please excuse my French, the PS4 timetable is a complete non-starter for me. No S-Bahn services any more, even in the normal "New Journeys" timetable. No AI freight, no AI InterCity, no AI ICE. So, for me, it makes no sense to use the PS4 version on PS5, either.

    Yes, I know, it was all an accident, so I do not take it too seriously ATM.

    So I dont have Koln Aachen Timetable (yet!!) or a fully populated Frankfurt S Bahn. But I do have Mildmay line that does struggle with all its thousands of services (both AI and User). Personally for me on Mildmay I use the layers option to remove the 700,395 and 801 as you dont really get to see them from the drivers cab (possibly if you are lucky to see one if you look tot he left or right... (yer supposed to be driving by the way not sight seeing) :p Yes although I have removed those 3 trains (they timetable is still loaded in) The trains are not, there is nothing in memory calculating the trains pathway and then hoping to draw the train when its in your FOV, its not even on the map causing loss in performance. To be honest I would say no to your above request. Learn how to use the use Layering options.

    Why have other people got to suffer because you dont want to see blurry textures?

    Personally Blurry textures (at the moment) do not bother me. I am on PS5 and I did get them alot on the Mildmay line until I removed some of the layers (what I mentioned above). So you can easily remove the layers if you wish.
    I personally would like to make the choice to either use a full or reduced timetable, knowing full well what could happen if I use the full timetable. I know that currentl Matt said he has about 4 or 5 people looking at the memory issues that are plaguing the consoles and TSW 5, I am hopefuly that they will sort this and get a fix out for it (not the Content manager length in time, mind lol). So we can all enjoy busy routes.

    Yes, thats a joke. As well as the reduced timetable (on PS5) on Frankfurt S-Bahn!

    On PS5, I practically haven't had any blurry textures on any route since the last Mildmay Line Update.

    Does anyone know when we'll get the Koln Aachen update for PS5? It's been over a month and there's no news.

    DTG hasn't got time for bringing the new timetable to PS5, they're all too busy working on TSW6.

    Right now its a blurry texture mess on Xbox X so I think they are working on that before release. It was by mistake XBox got it in the first place and not intentional.

    There are rumors of a cut down version in the same fashon as the FSB timetable being worked on.

    But I have no actual idea if that is true or not.

    If they do release a cut down version, without keeping the current full-fat version that we already have on Xbox, at least as an option, that will be ridiculous. Even on Series S, I have had very few issues besides the blurred textures, and even then I don't perceive them as more than a minor annoyance. So, if it turns out that DTG can't fix the textures besides just reducing the timetable, at least they could give those of us who aren't so bothered by the blurring, the option to keep on doing what we are already doing.

    I totally agree. I think ours won't change on Xbox and probably PS5 as long as they figure out the where the memory leaks are that cause the blurry textures.

    It sounds like they are on DEFCON 5 trying to solve it so the optimist in me thinks they will figure it out sooner than later. And hence the delay as focus is elsewhere on this issue and the TT has probably been put on simmer for now.

    Perhaps an update on the roadmap.

    Thats why I'm hesitant to believe it.

    It runs fine just the blurry texture issues. But that even happens on ECML so I don't think its the timetables fault.

    Just the core issue.
