I have a few suggestions for things to be looked at by the preservation team on GWEs next pass. The correct frontage of Hayes and Harlington. The current rendition seems to have some kind of wall along the kerb line and looks off from free camera view. These images show the West end of Platform 4 of Hayes and Harlington both in reality with staircase to booking hall (although the canopy had been removed) and the in game rendition which is wholly incorrect. Staircase at West end of Hayes and Harlington Platform 1 to Station Road. The Southall gasometer at night with aircraft anti collision lights on the roof which are not present in the game. I'm sure there are other tweaks that can be made to GWE but these stand out to me.
I have also noticed that several of the Class 166 services are labelled incorrectly... For example the is a late service marked as ECS from Paddington to Reading with a duration of 13mins. This is in fact a Reading to Depot move but there are others. Working destination displays on the Class 166 would also be a great addition.
I can understand the wrong route settings in other countries, but! DTG is a British studio and commercial company. For the route in the UK, it is necessary to maintain a high level of settings around the route. If this is not possible, then there is reason to suspect that DTG is just catching up with the schedule when it is producing the route. . At the same time, I hope that DTG can set up routes in various countries more smoothly. Maybe I can't travel to the UK in my life. I may be able to understand that in the world of simulated trains, there are many great stations in the UK. .
My own reason for this request is that I am a proud resident of the town with family roots here going back over 250 years.
I know your post is mostly about scenery and the route itself but what I would like to see is in Diesel Legends 08s in more yards along the route where you can possibly do some real shunting rather than just ECS moves from Old Oak
I think they waited for the RushHour & Unreal Engine 4.26 release before touching it for a preservation update. So my suggestions would be: - Adding RushHour Passenger System incl. more Services & AI Services - Adding Tour Services (Like Cl.20 / 37 / 40 etc..) - Working PIS Screens on the Stations - Working PIS on Class 166 - Update Inacurate Scenery shown in first Post here
Here few other points: - In the HST there are few buttons right below the speed indicator. I asume its for illuminating the Speed Limit. Would be nice if this is working. - Finally upgrade the Class 66 to the same Standard as in the other Routes --> Its nonsense to have an ews livery with the old version cl.66 and an other ews livery with the new one..., it should be ONE upgraded Cl.66 with DB Cargo & EWS livery, also used in CCL, SEHS, ECW. This is a bold one: - Extending the Route to Oxford (No not for free, i would pay for that)
I’d like to see branded containers brought to GWE. Would add more authenticity to the route. I know at least one German route has branded containers and it was something Adam mentioned he’d like to see added, so I’m hoping they are included with the next update to the route.
That's great! Glad to hear. Where did the screenshot come from? Is that something DTG have shared or a mod?
