I saw there was an unintentional update to SEHS. Does this mean SEHS gets a TSW6 update with suspension physics and announcements? Please say yes!
Stand to be corrected, but I don't believe that is the intention. I believe any updates around SEHS will be a test bed for combatting blurry textures in the game.
Seems like from the wording of the DTG announcement it was an untended release of some of Firefly's updates to the route. Which we will soon be able to enjoy in full working order and as intended on the upcoming Medway Valley.. Maybe an SEHS refresh en-large to go along with Medway?
I think that's the plan since Firefly are layering the SEHS stock in their route. I commend them for doing that!!
I probably was reading too much into the wording "some really great improvements". In my mind that can only mean: more bouncy trains
The class 375, 465 and 395 have had suspension and improved rain effects added with the latest update, I don't know if there are any additional improvements yet They don't have announcements at the moment
Hello folks, We initially planned to discuss this in the February Roadmap, but it was still to early at that point in time. The Firefly team has been making excellent progress on preliminary route optimisation, supporting long-term performance improvements, while also bringing improvements to the content included alongside the Medway Valley release. It's really impressive work; the way it landed today was unfortunate, but once ready, it will be a valuable update. Just to set expectations, neither the Firefly team nor we refer to this as a remaster. Since there are multiple improvements, we can't reveal all the details of their work yet, and some of this work is still ongoing. We'll provide more updates in the March Roadmap. All the best, Jan
Someone in the know posted we should get excited about SEHS. Can't remember specifics but it sounded exciting. And then it was removed just like with those famous files. What is DTG hiding? /s
I didn’t say anything about SEHS, I mentioned some trains that run on SEHS which is information in the public domain now. I removed the post as Jan posted as I was writing and it didn’t need a duplication
I didn’t say that either Best to pretend this all didn’t happen and revert to about 0930 this morning. It’s a shame it happened but DTG have been very good at sorting it out. As I said in my removed post, all good things come to those who wait
I smell a remaster too. I mean let’s be real here, this is Dovetails Home Route. I feel like they should be making the best it can be.
Great if we do get some more bouncy trains. Certainly looking forward to whatever Firefly and DTG are doing.
I just want to clear up and set expectations so that what comes is not an anti-climax after lots of misplaced guesswork; there is no remaster, reimagining or reworking of the SEHS route in the offing. The work we have helped with, and will continue to help with, is optimisation only. The section of SEHS that is on Medway Valley has had a significant amount of work done to it however. Note again that I’m talking about the SEHS route above, not the SEHS trains
So with other words, the route stays the same (except optimization), but the trains will get some updates?
If we do get a remaster can we get a full high speed timetable with TGVs subbing for Eurostar like they do on Köln-Aachen. (and maybe ICE3Ms too but they’d have to be AI only)
That's probably why the class 700 has suspension in the Medway Valley gameplay footage. Oh well, I was hoping that was a clue that there might be another route for it in the works...
I don’t know about bouncy trains but the unintentional update did turn Rochester Castle into a bouncy castle. Go check it out
Everyone talking about ECW and I’m just here quietly enjoying *bing* *bong* “the next station is Chatham”
Wait, what trains have announcements on SEHS now? I tried the 700 yesterday and no luck, but that was the only one i had time to test
