I disagree that the issue is Unreal Engine 4. Yes, it has quirks and niggles, especially if you rely on blueprints. But the point is you don't...

Exactly. The engine can make performance worse to begin with, pre-optimisation. Especially when adding the fancier features. I think the delusion...

I don't know why Matt says "if it were possible", because it is possible. DTG's issue will be justifying the port, because I'm guessing they don't...

Indeed. Although as DTG say that their train physics are entirely bespoke (Simugraph), they presumably aren't relying on the same physics systems...

I'll just drop these comments here from a highly experienced programmer in the games industry. Make of it what you will. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

It's the executives at Focus Entertainment. Regardless of Matt (I think it was) saying that Focus are leaving them to their own devices, I've...

The "for whatever reason" part was in reference to why they used an older build if other bits have already been improved (not a criticism, because...

That was exactly my point.

Right. A bigger build is built from smaller builds from different teams, and there are multiple builds being uploaded throughout the day. They can...

Okay, I've resumed the stream and I can see it's the junction sections where the "shadows" still draw in. The straights look fine. Can the...

It's even worse given the fact the new suspension was one of the big new features for TSW4, lauded by them in the launch stream. Never arrived....

Yes, I knew this was the claim, but in this stream the "painted" shadows are not being drawn any further than the real shadows were, it appears to...

I've only just started watching the stream from last night, but my eyes are drawn to the track shadows. Is it just me, but aren't they still...

Yes, to see how it goes, which I interpret to mean see if they make enough money doing it this way compared to the past approach.

Yes, they will. At least, unless my memory is completely faulty, they said (in the roadmap stream?) that the VR game doesn't use Simugraph. I'm...

This is exactly why I took into account the size of my phone screen, watching it on YouTube. Thanks.

Agree. I think TSW lacks many display/graphics customisation options that most other modern games have. It's also a shame that the shadows are no...

This feeds nicely into my question above, and already implies an answer: there is still no standardisation of route development from this point...

This is why I've asked the question in the roadmap Q&A about standardisation of route development for first- and third-party routes going...

Have you set a minimum feature list/"blueprint" for all future first- and third-party route development, so that features such as guard mode,...

Okay, I get how this seems because it was my initial thought: if you're going from TSW 4 to 5 with the free version, all you effectively get is...

Well, now that it's morning, and I have coffee and some time, I've looked at the FAQ page properly and it all makes sense. Note: don't try...

Except it should have routes for anyone upgrading to the free version from their old version, so it would then have timetable mode... So it makes...

Yes, so effectively you get nothing of TSW 5 in the free version beyond the new name. But what about the FAQ stating, for example, no timetable,...

I'm not sure. The graphics and discussion on the live stream suggest you get nothing of the new core features in the new version, so for example...

But really the core update isn't free because you don't get the actual TSW 5 core features in the free version, you just retain the TSW 4 core...

Admittedly I was watching the live stream while working, and I haven't read any forum posts on TSW 5 yet besides the current page of this thread,...

You're right, it should. But I can't forget the service I was on from London to Birmingham, when they terminated at Milton Keynes without warning...

Yes, obviously.

And I thought the goal was to effect positive change to the simulator and DTG's approach to it...

Agreed. I presumed it had been formally announced, until I read through. If they do it, I hope it's an upgrade for those of us who already own...

It isn't an Unreal Engine problem, it's a user issue...

Wow, and ouch.

But the norm for a standalone game (from a professional, dedicated publisher/dev team) is for it to be patched and bugs fixed beyond launch –...

This is why I won't, and haven't, bought any add-on until it's significantly discounted.

Seriously? I just bought this in the Steam sale, but even at that price I can't be doing with that.

Concur that I only got SoS as part of a bundle and didn't get PF until recently, heavily discounted, because of the reports of multiple issues...

£2.99 for Linke Rheinstrecke was an amazing deal. Only issue was, buying it resulted in me having to uninstall then redownload/install the...

Thanks for the heads-up, I just got Linke Rheinstrecke. Can't say no to that price!

My prediction, or supposition, is that, if enough third parties show a clear interest and plan to bring enough new steam content to the sim, then...

Agree. I'm going to forget this by the time I get to it. We need an update to add tuition on these details.

You probably wouldn't need another new PC (sorry if you were looking for an excuse to get one :D ) One of the reasons they are doing a MSFS 2024...

I think it's about time to drop the "console kiddies" insult. Intelligent adults use games consoles – as well as highly intelligent children.

This is exactly how I interpreted the statement, too.

Which, I believe, is what Matt said they were going to do – slow down, fix bugs, improve – while actually they didn't appear to do any of that and...

I have to admit, my knowledge of trains is as a passenger (I should say was, as I have learned a lot from TSW and this community). So as I have no...

I think you're overlooking the kind of scenario I presume Eldomtom is referring to, which applies to me too: say I begin a steam run on Peak...

To be honest, the passengers could do with what I suggested; they don't have the privacy for a plastic bottle. But, passengers have the toilet!...

Maybe the same way astronauts do 8-hour space walks... Adult absorbent pants. I think that's the only way I'd get away with it :D

As it's happening in roughly the same place, it's likely to be file or hard drive sector corruption (TSW will be streaming data). You may have to...
