    I felt like changing my profile avatar and uniform today but I cannot figure out how you do it since the core update... I saw some really old posts saying you need to log out form dovetail live in game, but trying that warns me its going to delete my profile data and I certainly don't want to do that.

    Anyone know?

    I had the same idea, but the only thing you can do with your avatar is choose another one. During drives, DTG will take care of the uniforms, so not so much to worry about. It is a missing feature, but not a very big issue, I think.

    DTG Natster is there a way to change our avatar? I get that the uniform now seems to be controlled by the route you're running, but it would be nice to change the human you're driving as from time to time. I don't want to be stuck with one forever...

    This has been a long-standing request that has, unfortunately, fallen on deaf ears up until now. I too would like the ability to edit my avatar.

    I don't so much mean edit it Tanglebones I just want to be able to select from the ones available in the game. You used to be able to set it to anything you wanted from the available set, but you cannot anymore it seems - at least if you can I cannot find where its done.

    You choose it when you first setup your profile. I don't think you can edit after the first time unfortunately Victor unless you create a new profile.

    hey,

    I also wish it was possible to change the avatar/character in the game afterwards.

    Should this be possible at some point?

    Yes, me too, but it's unlikely they will ever implement it, I fear.

    Changing your avatar is something on the list to be done - i'll talk to the UI team next week and see where it sits.

    Have there been any news on this yet? This is a feature I've been craving for ever since I realized you can choose your hair colour through random selection.

    There is going to be a spinner like in "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" where you spin for avatar and uniform, and whatever it lands on, you get.

    Also just for context, Nat no longer works with Community on Train Sim World, she's currently a producer for CATAN: Console Edition :)

    I'm thinking TSW5. Changing your avatar requires a whole new game.
