    The Route Enhancement Pack is now out! Download here

    Good evening.

    Currently getting stuck in to working on the enhancement pack for Rivet’s new Edinburgh to Glasgow route.

    Just light work at the moment, with replacing the low res and generic textures with true-to-life ones.

    More significant changes will be coming along.

    (Top image is default, bottom is my changes)

    You do some amazing work. They should give you a job, then every platform can benefit from your work?

    It looks nice, but perhaps leave out the Ukraine war from the television screens?

    Cheers

    Yeah it is a bit depressing, I quite like the tongue in cheek Rivet posters this time round.

    The signal aspects are quite bright on the route but the flares are very « Cathcart », a bit over the top. I find it hard to distinguish between single and double yellow aspects. Will the EP be able to address that?

    I've tried in the past but unfortunately wasn't successful. Perhaps DTG could offer an invitation instead (hint) ;)

    Oh dear! You just have to laugh!
    Obviously to busy polishing all of the important pretty bells an whistles, and the trains Station Announcements than to worry about making sure that the wheelsets are attached to the bogies?
    I wonder if they got the idea from the cockup in the SoS Edge Hill Sheds, Edge Hill Yard with the wagon hanging off the tracks? Oh wait, No can't have! The wagon is completely missing its wheels!

    Once again it just shows that rushing to meet release dates has not paid off! Only if software companies would forget about worrying over release dates, and spend the time worrying on getting the product in full working order first? That way these errors can be avoided

    So on the standard features checklist we heard of last year let's add

    trains attached to wheels.

    I'd love to know what is on the standard feature list

    As well as the repeated error of the lack of a maneuvering camera of the view from the cockpit window !!!! Why are they ignoring it? After all, this is present on all DTG rolling stock.

    This is all of my work apart from a ballast change which will come in the near future, edited by someone else.

    This is utter ridiculous! DTG should stick a label on the box "Some Self Assembly and Programming Knowledge Is Required To Use This Product!"
    It seems that DTG and Rivet are starting to rely on and take advantage of people like you to sort out what their programmers are paid to do?

    Afternoon guys.

    A few more improvements coming to the upcoming E.P for the Glasgow-Edinburgh route.

    Changes:
    - Updated headlight visuals and minuscule external PIS resized. (Marker light is slightly warmer looking)
    - Internal PIS bigger and at a higher resolution text
    - Glasgow Queen Street roof detail colours now a lot less saturated looking and more true-to-life looking.

    This EP just might make me buy the route. If only the sound and braking of 385 could get the same treatment as this....

    London Midland you really should be working for DTG/Rivet.

    Your pack may even attain them more sales as like above your enhancement pack is more likely to make me get the route with these enhancements than without at the moment.

    If I have ever considered to get a PC again for simming, then because of your work. Looks great ........... and in what time, wow!

    It makes me sad not to be able to enjoy this on PS.

    Absolutely crazy that you’ve made these improvements in so little time! Why can’t Rivet/DTG?

    If only these could be applied to consoles

    With every update, a part of my soul dies. These upgrades are so good. I wish DTG would let you do more to the core game etc.

    Looking great! Is it possible to add in the missing neutral section signs? Seems a bit odd for them to implement neutral sections and then not bother placing the signs.

    The thing is each update doesn’t seem major on its own but all of them make such a difference to the overall game.

    I’m on PS so haven’t played it yet, but had this not been my local route I think I’d pass. Really hoping for a good few of the issues to be resolved by Tuesday but realistically…..

    Unfortunately I can’t add or remove assets, only replace the current textures with something else, providing they aren’t used in multiple locations.

    I’m very limited with what I can do without the official editor, however I’ll always try my best.

    Thanks.

    - Replaced generic shop front signs with real brands

    - Platform asphalt texture replaced with a more widely seen type

    London Midland, all the mods you provided for TSW3 on PC is definitely something that makes it worth it to add to console via the special projects team.

    The special projects team have a whole other backlog that is massive and keeps on increasing. They already have too much to do at the moment.
