    Ah...yes - this one by the brilliant Romansu72. It's one of those mods which works so well you forget it's there (I did!), but it's essential for the 87. Hopefully at some point it will be extended to include the 86 (or JustTrains will fix the 86 so that it's not required).

    Until then I'll hold off on buying the 86.

    The 87 does it as well for some reason. I'm not sure how they managed to get it to break in that way, since CTRL 0 works for every other train in TSW (to my knowledge).

    Re the Mark 2 interiors then... Confirming in dull rainy conditions the interior colours look a bit more creamy, though still with more of a grey tint than the magnolia there were in reality. So whatever is wring with the materials, textures and or lighting in full daylight still needs sorting please.

    Yes, updating the driver wipes the shader cache.

    They don't look plastic enough.

    I had these issues last night with the class 86 and MK2 Rake.

    Photo mode the rolling stock looked poor in quality. (Look at the rear coaches).

    low resolution it seemed.

    Missing coaches layers as seen in photos. IMG_5512.jpeg IMG_5515.jpeg
    Zoom in they go but wide shoots then that’s the results.

    Inside cab.

    Same again. Zoom in and it blurs. Come out and it returns to normal.
    I have photos of the control desk too. Yet 40 minutes after taking these shots as I arrived in Carlisle it fixed it self.
    I Noticed the error after a harsh stop under very heavy braking. Driving tired. No SPAD tho:)

    So yes these are issues I found last night with the new Add on pack.

    Is this the add on pack tho or the game. As I’ve noticed a drop in overall graphics since the last update.
    I’m using a PS5 for reference.

    Thanks.

    I noticed the poor and blurred textures with passing rakes of the new coaches but had put it down to running at 1440p. Sounds like there could be a more fundamental issue, though I haven’t (yet) had a rake pass me with an entire vehicle missing.

    Have to say, this whole pack really needs to go back in the factory for some fixes and quality improvements.

    Definitely blur in there. I assumed it was more to do with the core game.

    It's a thing in TS as well. Different rolling stock looks blurrier than others at certain distances. I don't own the pack yet myself, but from the screenshots something definitely seems off.

    The only thing that's bothering me is the sudden frame rate drops, mostly around the Lancaster area.
