Playing Z-SBDPHX5-04 Intermodal from San Bernadino to Phoenix. The Co-Driver changes every time I switch between views: Cab/Front of the train <-> end of the train (hitting the view button "2" or "3" twice, if in cab view) Since the update on september 27th I get a "loading" screen when switching between views Cab/Front of the train <-> end of the train. I don't know if this Co-driver changing behavior happened already before the update or not. Before switching to the end of train view: after returning to the cab view:
On long trains, the co-driver has always changed appearance and the short loading screen has always existed. The reason for this is that the front part of the train is completely rendered out as soon as you use the camera at the end of the train. This saves a lot of resources. If you now want to switch back to the cab, the front part has to be re-rendered first and that's why there is a new co-driver and the short loading screen. Also snow or rain on the windows is completely gone and builds up again bit by bit. It has always been like that and has nothing to do with the patch.
sequencer2k16: Thank you for the information. That makes sense. Could be that I did not run a long enough train bevor to have the loading screen happen (I started with TSW3). However they could remember the co-driver to load in the same one on re-rendering the cab.
