If you were sat in a train I’d say the shadow stops, what, 50% of the way to the horizon in your second screenshot. Nothing beyond that point...

…and without wanting to sound like a broken record the major issues I have with it are; 1) They have looked at lighting but have not changed the...

I mentioned it in the context of DTG saying ‘look at this new game’ and ‘we’ve redone the lighting from the ground up’ when in fact, objectively,...

Your words, not mine, and a comment about a serious affliction of Western society in general, not TSW directly.

An excellent post.

You asked how you make a game about trains a new game about trains. Couldn’t really have a clearer example than that, and that’s what I was...

All good points. At the end of the day we might be debating semantics and we’ll make our own decisions. Looking at it critically I don’t believe...

See my post 4 above this one. Did you play TS Classic? TSW was a new game. It’s easy if you think about it ;)

I’m in complete agreement. DTG can do what the heck they want and can charge whatever they see fit. It’s up to us as individuals to decide...

Oooft, HR ;) Yes Sir, I’ll be quiet now Sir :cool:

You’re right. I wasn’t clear there, I meant the annual upgrade is, and always has been, a thing. It’s only since TSW came along that they package...

I’m not baulking at the price. Never once have I mentioned the price. I’m saying that people that believe they’re buying a new game are incredibly...

Absolutely. Doesn’t mean they’re new games though does it? Very very rarely do those releases contain anything more than a bit of fiddling. Then...

That could have just as easily been released in TSW2. A new game to me is a new game, a clean break. This isn't that thing.

It is not a new game. There is nothing in TSW3 that couldn’t have been fired at TSW2 as part of an annual upgrade. The engine is the same and all...

Absolutely I’m saying that. What other game has lighting detail that reaches 30-50% of the distance ahead of the player that then just stops, and...

Sadly yes… https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/dtg-will-the-lighting-issues-finally-be-fixed-in-tsw3.57071/ I can’t how to link a specific...

How is it true? Tell us what makes it a ‘new game’? Looks to me like the same content on the same engine. The rest is a few tweaks here and...

You don’t really believe that do you?

Is it overly dramatic to say that I find those screenshots painful to look at? I can’t believe I’ve paid money for this rubbish.

The problem is though that it’s already been confirmed that they haven’t touched the draw distance at all, and it’s always the draw distance that...

Further proof. Look at the two trees above the Mk 1 carriages. Absolutely zero environmental lighting acting on them whatsoever. The reason? As...

Wherever the sun is, you would expect one side of the open wagons to be casting shadows on the opposite interior wall. By the same token, if the...

I think you’re being far too generous. It is absolute mince. Look at the last screenshot and at the two trees directly above the Mark 1...

I know this is slightly off topic of the thread but I’ve just posted this in the lighting thread. I cannot believe that is a ‘new’ lighting...

You’re not serious? Everything is way too bright and over saturated. It is not naturally lit and there are no shadows cast by anything. Look at...

I’ve just nabbed this from London Midlands SEHS thread. If this is a total lighting overhaul then I’m lost for words. That is as bad as it has...

That 3rd screenshot down…new lighting?! That looks as bad as it ever has! That’s way worse than I feared it was going to be. Blummin heck :(

Thanks for replying, I do appreciate it. As you say, ultimately the proof will be actually seeing it in action but I struggle to see how different...

I would say that I’m pretty certain they haven’t fixed it, and have therefore completely missed the point of what all the complaints have been for...

I’ve asked JD directly now 3 times if the ‘new’ lighting includes realistic draw distance and have had nothing in return. Looking back at the...

The deafening silence regarding the draw distance suggests to me that nothing has changed on that front. If this is the case then all the new...

Does it look like the draw distance is now goes to the horizon? It’s difficult to tell if anything’s changed. New lighting is irrelevant if it...

Very very tentatively, I might actually be optimistic and possibly even a little bit excited about this. I really hope this is a big step...

The biggies have been that they accidentally and repeatedly released the FGW liveries, they accidentally released the Dev build (which has...

Gen 8 consoles are done, the technology in them is ancient. You can get a Gen 9 console now no problem. Should I choose to I could get either...

‘Last couple of years’ = ‘Since Release’ ;) I’ll believe they’re going to fix it when I see it with my own eyes. Can a leopard actually change...

I’m sorry, but I can’t agree with that at all. Can you name another game where the developer intentionally hampers the PC version to ensure parity...

I completely agree, I don’t get why so many players of this game give DTG so much slack. They’ve been taking us all for mugs for years. The way I...

If that’s even remotely true it is beyond insanity.

DTG are past masters at kicking the can down the road and giving just enough of a glimmer of hope to placate everyone, whilst at the same time...

Isn’t it just awful?

Of course mate. Open it up and whatever you want to use feel free, there’s quite a bit in it if I remember correctly.

This might be controversial, but of the few streams I watched it never failed to amaze me how easily Matt and whoever else it may be laughed off...

I think all of that is what they’d like us to believe. Those excuses maybe washed in years 1-3 but as we’re now in year 6 it has long since...

I think they really think it’s all fine as it is, what other explanation can there be? Frankly, I would be embarrassed that the lighting system...

Speed doesn’t matter, it’s the application of brakes that causes it. For example, on L2B you can be doing line speed in the rain and brake...

Our posts crossed there so I’ve already answered. There was certainly less care went into it for the reasons I’ve alluded to above. I don’t think...

Rapid Transit wasn’t it? To be fair I don’t particularly remember that route suffering the pop-in and lighting issues that followed, but once it...
