Apologies if a similar thread already exists, and yes I know the route won’t receive the treatment just yet, but it will help the crew in the future. #1. Working PIS screens #2. Unlocking full timetable to next gen. console users (if this isn’t done on the rh update) #3. Sort out acceleration rate on class 166 #4. Livery designer support on all locos, coaching stock and wagons; containers That’s all I can think of rn, please post anything you think needs to be sorted out on the route below ⬇️
Additional time to set up the train when starting a service. GWE is one of the few routes where you have literally no preparation time.
Also some tweaks to scenario planner on GWE. 1. The red light on entering the Hayes platform 5 means you block the main line. It's a matter of moving the stop light and marker to the end of the platform. 2. I would also like expanded functionality to use more of the freight yards and depots and moving various stop markers and stop lights to be in the middle or further along. So whenever trains stop, they don't block the main line. I think this applies to most of the freight yards and depots.
Have it so that you can close the doors on 166 and still have the countdown time tick down so you can close the doors ahead of time. Currently, as soon as you close the doors the time stops, so if the timer isn’t complete, you have to open the doors again. This is how it works on most other trains in the game.
Perhaps, maybe, just maybe, they could talk about licensing again for the FGW liveries to become available to all players. The rebranding period is over now, and the HST is no longer the pride of GWR, so maybe they're willing to reconsider. I believe GWE also still needs the upgrade to the newer TSW2 skies, so that could be added. Outside of that there's nothing I can really think of.
I don’t know if this related to GWE but can dovetail please fix the horn on the Class 66 it’s inaccurate
I personally think that a new timetable may be in order - quote a few - but still too any - services are broken, most services don't make you load passengers at the start (this is highlighted with HST services that don't stop), and also, if, only if, they could, I'd like to see them have a look at making the FGW Liveries in the files available to all users, provided GWR/First allow it.
How about this some HST ECS services use a depot Train Wash at Old Oak Common. For the Class 166 that start at reading depot you're routed through a Train Wash example Reading to Twyford. but others are not routed to it.
Yes but I wouldn't want to just do Down The Line for 6 coaches. Imagine if I want to go from Reading and not Paddington instead
Various items of artwork need tweaking. This includes various stations not correctly depicted. Hayes and Harlington and West Drayton are two that are incorrect with Hayes Station frontage behind some kind of wall along with no stairs to roadway at West end of Platform 1 and staircase not included at all at West end of Platform 4. West Drayton seems to have Station Approach depicted at the same level as the station itself which is wholly incorrect with this being the bus turning area set 1 floor lower than the station. Another one that instantly caught my attention is the lack of Red anti collision lamps on Southall gasometer at night. Platform 1A at Paddington could be redone as it is not currently existing in game. A distant Windsor Castle might be nice from the external camera perspective and can be found to the South of Slough.
I wonder if it were possible to add 332's, and 360/2's to this route as they were in use during the era that GWE is set. Paddington is looking rather empty with just the 2 types available otherwise. Is it possible to add these even if they're AI only?
Licencing issues are the reason that we don't have any Heathrow Express/Connect trains or the Heathrow branch itself. Ferrovial are the current owners/operators of Heathrow Airport Ltd and seem to be unwilling to allow these services to be included.
A few photos to support my above suggestions... Windsor Castle from Slough London Paddington Platform 1A Station Approach West Drayton
And another trio... Hayes and Harlington Station frontage Staircase at West end of Hayes and Harlington Platform 1 Staircase at West end of Hayes and Harlington Platform 4 (albeit minus the canopy)
That really is a shame, I had no idea it was as bad as that. Hopefully the Underground won't be as tricky to do.
And fix the start of the journey where you have the option to choose from 3 services and 2 of them have a signal glitch. I'm not sure if the third works because I waited already long enough before the other lights
Well as they said pis at station is a focus, i wish they do the rework for the cl.166 in case of pis system. Also the hst could get an update for working speed console. Of course ad more layers would help. Tour services or more freight.
