Nevertheless, it must finally be fixed, because it does not count in Journey Mode. As if it would be soooo difficult or soooo expensive if a dev sets the 08 a few centimeters back or the entire train a few centimeters forward. Since the bug, like 5X23, has been known for a long time and reported countless times, it just smells like ignorance or laziness here. Matt even announced a fix for 5X23 in 2021 that we never got.
Critiquing this work round because it only allows you to drive and complete the service which is all that I said it will do is unjust and unnecessary. I am grateful to any one that offers a work round to drive a service that cannot normally be driven. There are more than enough posts and threads about the services,scenarios,bugs ect that DTG has not fixed without implying that I as a player shoud supply a fix for journey mode. Every journey and chapter and part of a chapter can be ticked/marked as completed without even driving any of them but only on PC. I prefer to help everybody on all platforms to drive a service that has not worked for years even if it does not give a magic tick to journey mode. It would be ideal if DTG/focus were to fix everything that is wrong or does not work properly but I cannot see that happening anytime soon. In the meantime I will accept and use any work round to drive an undrivable service that any player is wiling to take the time and effort to find and then offer on this forum.
I'm a new player to Train Sim World 2 and I'm just starting to get to grips with the game. I read your comment about how to get around the restriction of trains that can't be driven, and I wanted to say that I appreciate it.
