    I thought this could do with an identifiable thread, and so onto the question. What do we hope for or think will be at Dovetail Direct for WoS?

    My first hopes for a patch are:
    ~ The missing "SCARY JACK FROST!" scene.
    ~ Cutscene skip.
    ~ The game could do with some music, but not sure how that could work. Could it be a playlist or would they play depending on who we drive or where we currently are? Do we want a constant loop of Gordon's theme playing as we're going back and forth along the Mainline?
    ~ The ability to turn off the signal fail, the game can still punish us if we run it and crash into an oncoming Gordon or if we feel like being a cheeky little runaway Percy.
    ~ Minor map changes. I'm not expecting a brand new track leading to an abandoned mine, but at least something new to spot like a bright red dressing gown outside Mrs Kindley's Cottage.
    ~ Tying into the above, a new unlockable decoration similar to the 5 Fairground pieces.

    I don't expect all ideas in one update, plus I don't expect a free engine or rolling stock in one either.

    I agree with all the points you've mentioned, especially around the use of music.

    Regarding updates, I would like to see a patch that fixes the dynamic weather which doesn't seem to work, at least on the PS5 version. I'd like to be able to add clouds and select the temperature, same way it works on Train Sim World.

    I'd like the track monitor to be visible as on TSW, so we can remove the huge markers all over the screen.

    As for DLC, I'd love to get a pack which includes the Brendam Branch with Edward, plus maybe NPCs including Trevor and Cranky at the docks.

    The Skarloey line would be amazing, but if we get this at all I imagine it would come later as I guess there would be more work involved.

    I agree, those would be cool along with maybe new DLC.
    But first things first they should actually patch what was listed in april's patch... The radio silence since then isn't filling me with confidence either.

    I wouldn't get my hopes up too much but let's see what they do on the 25th, what other choice do we have lol.

    Yes, the dynamic weather has to be patched.
