Train Sim World 3 Patch Notes: Sherman Hill And Boston-providence Improvements

Hello everyone,

Welcome to another Monday, but to start your week right we have an update to bring a range of core improvements as well as upgrading both Sherman Hill and Boston-Providence to TSW3 lighting and volumetric skies standards.

We have also shipped an improvement for pathing and AI behaviour aimed at reducing the amount of red-lights issues encountered by players. We have created a pathing / AI feedback thread for reporting any issues that may occur after this patch, whic you can find in our Technical Reports forum section.
