    So, I recently fell through the map near Johnstown Not knowing where exactly and discovered most of the town and all the track all the way up to the Town of Saint Clair is present with Ai trains running on them but doesn't show on the map itself, my screenshots will show the Truth of it, which honestly has me more intrigued why the player can't cross the Stone Bridge when the tracks and scenery go down stream more than 2 miles more, Puzzled on that decision I'm.

    Under the map right below Johnstown Amtrak Station

    From the Mountain side view, you can see a doublestack running over the Stone Bridge that spans the Conemaugh River in Johnstown

    This screenshot puts me is Coopersdale just North of Johnstown, in the furthest distance where the 2 mountain tops come together is right were the Stone Bridge & Conemaugh River are in Johnstown.

    This screenshot of the map puts me in the Town of East Wheatfield

    This last picture I'm so far out that the ground turned into carbon fiber which is right near the town of Saint Clair, the valley in the upper left side is in the area of East Wheatfield. I took a total of 67 screenshots of everywhere you could possibly think.

    Is it just me who thinks all this extra scenery is just a waste of hard drive space?

    makes me wonder if we were supposed to get more of Johnstown as the tracks and town is detailed in an area that the player will never see

    Maybe it was the part all here on the forum complained after the 5 ingame screenshots about the bad looking river. So the just cut the entire area out.

    No, creating wonderful scenery and lock it behind a wall is the actual waste. Devs act far to shortsighted with the invisible walls.
    Even if the turntable area behind the loco shed in altoona is not the best looking, still would like to go there and mess around with that. Right now you cant.

    But to be honest, i dont mind that much. My second main reason for choosing tsw for the pc platform is the mod capabilities.

    So there will be a "wall remover" and gevo "sound mod". All routes got enhanced with mods, became a 100% immersion booster for me. There are sound mods for all us locos.

    In the end its not an excuse for a dev to lower the quality and hope the community will solve the mess.
    They offer the franchaise for consoles too, so they should also get a good quality, since for them no mod is available.
