Look at these beautiful trees without leaves ... We finally have a leafless winter. DTG you have to update it for everyone, if a modder can do it on his own at home in his corner you have to do it for everyone !!! This is one of the things that has been requested for 3 years now. It is a mod created by "Nina", it is available on TSC. Thank you very much Nina for this mod. This is what a winter should look like ... If you don't know ask him ....
Just had a look, brilliant mod, adds some more variety to the sim. I wonder why DTG never fixed this?
If those dropped leaves made a difference to adhesion in differing weather, then it would be worthwhile. Winter is good for drivers as the misty, wet, slippy season of Autumn has worn away. "Leaves on the line" is a real thing..
Great work! DTG really need to step up their game in improving and fixing the core game, and not just leave it for annual updates. Whilst I’m sure myself and many other modders don’t mind fixing and enhancing TSW, some of these things DTG really should have fixed months, if not years ago.
DTG: we have a Ferrari DTG again: let's only use the first gear I agree, UE is an incredible platform and they are only using a small fraction of it. The incredible thing is that fixes like this are just changing a value on the config files, I really cannot see major testing involved. Flags for preserved contents anyone?
For everyone’s information, I did a service from the winter chapter in Journey Mode in SEHS (on PS4) and the trees had no leaves. As there was no snow in the scene, the trees didn’t look as bad in the distance (as I may have previously posted about on one of the many threads about winter trees. The fog helped but I must say it actually looked very good. Things are moving in the right direction but it is still a toss up as to whether you get something looking good or not with DTG’s chosen presets and settings. This is where mods like this help everyone, including console players like myself who can’t access the directly, as it clearly shows DTG that they can do better and make the scenery look better more of the time. Journey Mode does have better weather settings, we just need them across all of timetable mode.
Wait a second... Do I have some sort of a dejavu or didnt we request the same thing like 4 years ago? Im pretty sure they had listened to the feedback and even promoted an entire Dlc with leafless trees? Edit: I KNEW IT https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/winter-trees-in-trans-pennine-have-leaves.14219/ They fixed it back then in RSN and never did it again to any previous or future maps. Dtg developement is like running in a circle. When they finally listen to feedback and add something specific to one dlc they just forget about it for the rest of their times and never add it again
Does it though? I mean I don't know about other routes' journey modes, but on LIRR several journey mode runs feature snowstorms with 100% clear skies. Really. It's like they just put it into a random value generator and went with it.
Come to think of it, I have had heavy rain with only partly cloudy skies. This is part of the issue, nothing is consistent.
This sounds like something for Adam's crew if there is a fix and it just needs applying to all the routes.
I did post this issue in the Tech Reports section, I guess they do read that forum? Had no official response as of yet. I would have thought low down in the list of priorities, which is understandable.
