    This is something we're taking a look at. It of course makes more sense for it to be light-sensitive, rather than fixed to a specific time.

    Yep those ones are the main four. ‘HSC Geep Geep!’ and ‘HSC GEVO on the Move’ have also been causing problems on PS5 lately. I have lodged a ticket with DTG and I know it’s Skyhook’s route, but was just hoping it could be looked at for TSW2 by someone.

    I hope one of the routes on the roadmap will be the northeast corridor Connecticut shoreline east commuter rail from Stamford to new London Connecticut.

    DTG JD,

    Are you guys looking at the stations on SEHS that cast no light at night whatsoever? This is different to the incorrect lighting up times…Ashford and Swanscombe (there may be others) have no night lighting at all.

    My feedback for TSW 3 which I'd like to be fixed:

    - Add a toggle menu button on TSW 3 for console like that on TSW 2: On TSW 2, when in the timetable menu, you were able to press Y on Xbox for example to toggle the menu button which enabled the player to search for a specific service. However, I notice there is no such function in TSW 3 and, if I want to use the search bar, I have to end up scrolling right to the very top of the timetable list using a controller, which is super tedious - especially if such a large timetable like London Commuter, SEHS or Bakerloo, which I search for services by headcode for this very reason.

    - Fix AI 4-car 377 which gets stuck to the south of Haywards Heath on the northbound line on TSW 3 version of London Commuter: The AI train seems to get stuck in the same place (weirdly not at any signal) regardless of whatever time of day and, as a result, all the other AI trains behind get stuck. Never had this problem on the TSW 2 version.

    Hopefully the propulsion of the m7 will actually be fixed because they keep saying that fixes will come only for the sounds to still be bad. Maybe the M7A which suffers the same issue will also be fixed

    Not aware of this at the moment. Do you have a screenshot(s) you can share? (plus your graphics set-up, etc.)

    Actually, to be fair Ashford at 1am does seem to be lit, so maybe that is down to the station lighting up times. However, this is Swanscombe at 1am, no engine.ini edits, Ultra Settings and clear skies in September. You can see that the lights are on but there appears to be no lighting bake. There may well be other stations like this, and there are certainly bridges etc where street lamps cast no light at all.

    I get that things can slip through the net, but I reckon a box of Cornflakes would have picked that up had it been doing QA for TSW3.

    I understand beta testers and/or QA people generally just work to a list of things to test, but you do have to wonder if anyone just actually plays the game before release. Even just playing journey mode throws up all these problems after a few hours of play. 4-5hrs per route (lets go crazy and call it a full 8hr work day) just playing the game like we would would be time well spent IMHO. If they already do that, then the people doing it need more of an eye for detail!

    I think they are all available for me… are you checking the PS store on the console or on the mobile app? There always seems to be delays on mobile app.

    I don’t check the app as it’s still in beta for me but on the store some are unavailable I’ll try in an hour.
    EDIT: they’re all available I just have to wait for the add-on manager

    I would like to mention that in the lateral and internal PIS of Class 395, when the time ends in "0" it is not displayed, for example:

    14:10 appears 14:1 in the PIS;
    15:00 appears 15:0 in the PIS.
    10:13 appears 1 :13 in the PIS.
    20:10 appears 2 :0 in the PIS.

    JD, Please make sure to evaluate what is exposed in this forum regarding electrostars sounds (which I've already seen are on the radar), about the absence of lighting in some stations at night, as well as the missing zeros in the PIS of Class 395, in addition to of other scores that you deem important and possible to implement in the next update, or leave for future updates.

    NGL this is a disappointment to me that major issues like the fog on CJP is being delayed in order for you to restore a save game feature which remains partially broken. I appreciate others will have a different take on this and I guess the old adage "you cant please all of the people all of the time applies here.

    Hopefully the update will be worth the short wait.

    Starting to think there is more than meets the eye to the absence of the new journey expansion...that the silence is to preserve a future announcement involving this pack being different in some way? But its a bit off for people who already own the content and can't currently use it.

    It's because the routes it functioned on (BKL/SKA/SPG) all needed to have separate store pages made for them, and we couldn't build the dependencies required in the back-end until the pages were live.

    We've been trying to solve other issues before adding new stuff. It'll come, thanks for being patient.

    I also wish there was more of an update regarding the new journeys expansion. Where on the list it is for getting sorted, is it even going to be possible to transfer over to tsw3. A bit more information if possible would be great

    I think there should be set condition testing checking for system lighting and z. makes you wonder if the beta team are all fanboys with rose tinted glasses playing in the June sun.

    I suspect you'll find a reasonable number of the beta team hold down jobs and only have so much time to test. Even those who may be retired will often have partners who want them to do jobs about the house. ;) It may be that DTG ask them to check certain areas.

    If it comes to that I wonder how long they're given to test before DTG make the decision whether or not to release. It could well be that various issues are raised but that those issues are not deemed serious enough to delay release. However it may well be that some of the issues then start being worked on for the initial patch even before release has taken place.

    Can I confirm your problem, I use an xbox controller and the B button was for sifa and pzb is that your problem? Now for me it will activate pzb but does not work to acknowledge sifa.

    Wow, very odd, not that I have driven every train in TSW3 but its happening to me on TSW2 routes that I have installed into TSW3. Kassel - Wűrzburg looks fine for me at the moment. Oooo damn

    I'll tell you my set up so you know what's going on, on my end. I got TSW2 and TSW3 installed on my 2nd Xbox Series X in the lounge room. ( I own 2 of them ) I got the German pack only and installed kassel - Wűrzburg, Nahverkehr - Dresden, Dresden - Chemnitz and and Kőln installed only on TSW3. Kőln is fine works, kassel - Wűrzburg 403 works fine, 401 only done 1 run works fine. The only bug I have picked up on at the moment is external route boards dont work.

    My problem is Nahverkehr - Dresden time table run RE15 to Dresden driving 766.2 train is plan broken. Sifa and PZB, B button only works on PZB, brakes have changed and accelerating has changed I can't give any more info I basically rage quite.

    Only use xbox original controllers and all help is turned off, signals, speed and hub.

    Side note, other Xbox Series X has the keyboard and mouse thats where I play my sweety games IE shooters, PVP bla bla bla.

    There may be more problems in TSW3 but I just don't know yet, I only just got it. I wasn't going to buy it but I caved in.

    TSW2 seems to be the more stable one at the moment.

    With fog being looked at, I do need to ask - does the fog perhaps use a variant on the same effects as the smoke from diesel engines?

    I'm just asking because when I look at how much TSW3 fog tanks performance on my Series X, it reminds me a lot of how FPS always drops about 20% on TSW2 whenever I rotate the external camera so that the plumes from the top of diesel locos are in frame, but then jumps back up to the cap the moment I angle the camera so that only the loco, train, or the scenery are in shot. (When HSC launched I could actually crash the game on my Series S by switching to external cams and looking at this effect, if I did it right as another train passed mine)

    Good to hear the 465 fix but as I play on Nox Vidmate VLC there's more achievements not unlocking.
