    The level crossings in the game are all the same wigwags like Teynham is wrong.

    Is it just a copy and paste?

    Probably, considering that most of the crossings can be found further away from stations / areas where the player will commonly be walking around in. They are most likely the same model because you are not commonly stopped near them on timetables, so to save on resources and additional production of models required for each type of crossing, they are the same.

    I think this could be well suited in the game as its supposed to be realistic maybe upgrade the level crossing as they are all look like they are copy and pasted. Maybe also on the new medway valley line route this could be tested.

    I know DTG doesn't really do stuff like this, but maybe an upgrade on the level crossings as it would make the game more like real life. If dtg did this they may or may not do it on specific routes

    Respectfully, you're going to need to be more specific than that in order to be constructive.

    Start with saying what is actually wrong, then say how it should be.

    They are pretty much spot on. They look and sound accurate to the real life versions.

    They really are not as the level crossings s pretty much copy and pasted so that's why we need an update

    That's not any details. What's wrong with them. You have to give details rather than requesting an update with no information. That's like me just saying "update the trains"

    The alarms and the barriers really as train simulator classic did a lot to upgrade them to be good so if this is carried to tsw6 it would be very nice

    You still haven't given any description on what needs to change. What needs to change about the lights and barriers.

    You want them to not only update something to a standard of which you won’t say, but also you aren’t even sure what standard they currently exist at in game?

    Also going off your posting of one image, I suspect you may be under the impression that every UK level crossing looks the same & uses the exact same infrastructure, which they do not.

    They've always looked like how they look and do not need updating. You still haven't stated what needs updating, what is exactly wrong with the current level crossings

    Maybe the OP is living near a level crossing and want a faithful reproduction down to the smallest detail, not something generic ?
    Perhaps a sign simply offset by 50cm, for example, makes it something unique.
    When you know something perfectly, the slightest difference is immediately obvious...

    i think he/she means basically making them more realistic, as right npw they are not very realistic, they sometimes are still closing when the train arrives (definately not like that irl), the barriers close at once, not on the left side of the road for each side of the crossing.

    If they fixed these this would make them way more realistic

    No one's bullying you. All people are doing is asking for something more specific than "update this".

    grow up. firstly, if you think anything that’s been said in this thread is ‘bullying’ you’re in for a treat. secondly, it seems like you’re being bullied because you’re being vague and completely disregarding what people are saying- if you suggest something, and everyone tells you to elaborate, then don’t keep saying the same thing over and over again. it’s common sense. to round it off, the thing you’ve suggested doesn’t really need much done with it anyway.

    It may also be worth noting that this is the third thread the OP has made requesting the general improvement of level crossings with little detail, the last one being only a month ago, so it is dangerously close to being reportable spam.

    I don’t think it’s worth even suggesting this without some significant detail that could then potentially be added to future routes but the existing level crossings won’t be getting updated in any case.
