    Learning the route to get to hudless has been the hardest experience yet for me. The gradients really do vary south of Wolverhampton and plenty of speed changes too, even two temp 60mph for bridges before hitting back up to 75mph. Nearly there now to set up hudless and give it a go but will take some serious concentration. Hats off to the real drivers.

    My one gripe about this route, is why the hell didn't they use they animated trees, maybe just me but it's a tad immersion breaking when your sat there waiting for a signal to change, in obviously rough weather, and the trees and shrubs are just sat there doing nothing, not even trembling tho there's an obvious storm raging.

    Probably because it would of been even more of a hit on performance

    Not sure if that's the case tbh, if you check fps with wind and without wind, there is literally no difference (on my system at least) and as for performance of the Birm-crew route, I've had none really, i still get a locked 60fps and my GPU sits at around 70% utilization, and CPU gets to around 20% usage across 6 cores.

    Well this one is a first.
    First time playing since last Sunday, so went to launch TSW6.
    Failed on the load screen before actually getting into the main menu.
    Kicked me back to the Xbox front screen.

    Second time launched, got into the game, went to resume the last journey, Crew to Brum (1Z99), which was only 6 miles left to do.
    Failed halfway through the load, dumped back to Xbox.

    Third time the same, as was the fourth.
    X box Series S.

    Never had this in three years of playing, from TSW3, on any route or any saved game.
    I very rarely had a crash, even during the issues reported on TSW5 WCML launch route.

    Can load the service no issue from the start, so it seems loading the saved game whilst the train is in motion is way too much to handle.

    How did it get this bad.............Just dissapointed, as if this is the case, my save game function is now useless and that will make all 1 hour services unplayable for me.

    I could certainly believe that for MTA stuff with the amount of stupid TikToks I've seen ;)
    Over here in the UK it's pretty easy to get your hands on active operational timings, both planned and live, so I'd assume that's probably (?) not the reason.

    I think it more likely that, as said above, the date was picked for compatibility with existing rolling stock, as well as the fact that 2019 reflects the busy pre-COVID timetables which in many places have still not been fully restored

    On the 350/3 Literally no Sanding light pops up even tho it is clear you are needing it as its not braking and slowing down as fast

    Its really annoying. I can't play the 220 and 350 due to Blurryness. 390 is the only one that doesn't get affected

    Well that was a wasted hour...

    I notice that some trains have driver's seats without collision, I think that should probably be the standard because this bug is actually infuriating.

    This route is absolutely unplayable with the train that it was intended to be used with. Literally the entire route is a blurry mess in the 350. There’s not a single stretch where you can drive without the entire screen being a blurry mess.

    Can someone at DTG or AAS tell us how we are supposed to drive a train when all the controls are blurred out and every station looks like a PS1 build. Shocking quality control.
