    The user interface of the Creators Club would need a major rework, imo. There's a lot of weird behaviour of the ingame interface (need to apply filters several times until they actually work, search function is kinda borked, too ect.) - and the web-based creators club interface (which you HAVE to use, if you downloaded more than the ingame interface allows, which is very little) is even more borked. Example: If a user made more than x creations, you can only view the very first page (the first 12 or so?) but there's no way to switch to the next page and view the rest.

    Livery Designer!!! We need to be able to save custom group decals (A.K.A) logos so they don't have to be remade every time. Especially for complex liveries.

    Yea like ElBriseto said, it halfway works.

    Another bare minimum we should have had years ago is multiple saves. Sorting the timetable by amount of time a session takes as well as least to most congestion/train traffic would be nice.

    Yeah, but you spend all your money buying DLC, Maps and Trains to not have them on your system? Stop buying DLCs!!! You can only play one route at a time, so why does the system want to load every route on start up? It's like trains attached to routes rather than left in a virtual train shed and pulled out as required. Another thing we need for TSW 7 is to have the back end system to be cleaned up, having to load several routes just to get some trains onto another route is just crazy, a biproduct of a cash grab that was good at the time, but is now affecting the running of TSW.

    The loading time is really not an issue. I don't know why it is for some people. People have gotten so impatient lately because of technological advances.

    I would also like the layer system to be redone and for the layer to be linked to trains rather than DLC.

    That means, for example, in a DLC A you can have a Dosto as a layer; currently, you need the specific DLC. I would like the layer to be on the train itself, meaning a player who has the Dosto via MSB and another player who, via Dresden Riesa, both have the unlock layer because they have the train.

    Of course, this works if the train appears multiple times in the game with no major difference between them, if it can run on the line, and if it has the correct livery (for dosto it's not complicated for the livery point)

    If loading times isn't an issue, why is brought up several times by several players and in responce why did Dovetail say they would look into it? If it is not an issue? People play other games other than TSW and that is probably where the bench mark is coming from. TSW is the heavy weight champion of the world when it comes to loading times.

    more defensive than dtg when a route releases with half a timetable, blurry textures and an out of memory crash during the loading screen

    can we just have a route where it actaully end to end route, or routes that ends in reasonable places much like the rivera line...
    i dont usually play US routes but please there needs to be more US routes for the US players
    and no bugs upon first launch (and DTG try not to publish the wrong versions of add ons lmao)

    I want a quality product. Its value would increase if bugs were addressed more quickly. I never want to experience spending so much time playing, only to be unable to clear the game at the end due to a bug.

    Anything from Paris, Berlin, and Amsterdam would be nice, plus more routes from Japan.

    Here is my ultimate wishlist for TSW7:

    Routes & Scenarios I want to see:

    - Hamburg-Altona to Westerland (Sylt)

    * I want to drive while looking at the sea on both sides.
    * It would be amazing to have both modern timetables and historic ones featuring the BR 218 (both single and double-header).
    * A scenario where I can drive a car from Niebüll onto the Sylt Shuttle to travel across would be great.

    - Hamburg-Altona Empty Coaching Stock (ECS) & Shunting Scenarios
    1. Hamburg-Altona to Langenfelde
    - Outbound positioning of early-morning trains, and inbound ECS movements of terminating trains.
    - A scenario where I act as a Shunting Companion (Rangierbegleiter) and drive the stock using a portable brake valve.
    2. Hamburg-Altona to Eidelstedt
    - ECS movements for ICE trains.
    3. Hamburg-Altona AutoZug Loading
    - I want to experience the vehicle loading process for the AutoZug (https://nahverkehrhamburg.de).
    - Afterwards, using a BR 363 to couple the cars onto the passenger stock.
    4. Epoch IV/V Scenarios
    - Locomotive changes for Intercity (IC) trains, refilling water tanks for the dining cars, and conducting brake tests using signals.

    - Hamburg-Maschen Route
    - Shunting, train formation, etc.

    Rolling Stock I want to see (either as DLCs or in future TSW releases):
    - BR 120: My absolute favorite locomotive.
    - BR 795 / BR 789 etc.: I would love to drive these.
    - ET 491: I want to try operating this.
    - BR 601: Either in TEE or Alpen-See-Express livery.
    - ET 403: The original train, not the modern ICE.

    Selective door opening as standard on all future routes.
    Bell buzzer communication in the cab where appropriate on all future routes.
    Safety systems activated as per reality when taking over a service on all future routes.
    Passengers not levitating or walking in front of trains on future routes however amusing some staff may find it.
    A shiny new gimmick to lure in a new crop of the one and done console players that are vital to the commercial sustainability of the game.

    Call me a dreamer but I reckon at least one of these will come to fruition.

    Guildford to Waterloo with a few branches would be nice.
    Class 91 as usual.
    But generally not the WCML; much as I like it,I'd like to see something else after the last couple of years.
    As for a new inclusion; perhaps the blue peril catching fare dodgers.Always entertaining to watch at Waterloo.

    Doesn't it occur to you that optimization requires a technical break?
    Don't you see they keep releasing add-ons all the time?
    It's impossible to optimize like this...

    I'd like to see the other half to the GWE route and a career mode to give the game more immersion to those who want it. And Raildriver to work much better as well as other hardware.

    If they combined the two routes from TSC - Ringbahn and the Heart !ine - that might just secure a Day One purchase from me, even if the UK route does turn out to be Leeds local and the American route another slow paced NE commuter line.

    I absolutely agree. They’re both really good routes. For years now I’ve hoped to see the Berlin S Bahn make it to TSW. Just as long as it doesn’t get cut short like what happened with the Frankfurt S Bahn. I was very disappointed with that…. That would have hands down been my favourite German route if it had went all the way.
