The LIRR still needs to be improved, especially with the signaling. For some reason when I drive the LIRR route, the train still doesn't look good, along with it missing some sound such as the guard bell which you can see from this video, also the horn needs to be improved as well, along with the propulsion. Time stamp: 12:34- 12:38 Horn Sound 13:31- 13:45 Guard Bell, and signal to proceed from the conductor
I would like to use lirrs potential more with an additional dlc pack. About the sounds, i really hope dtg is gonna fix that parallel to the development of the m7a stock, which should be now or even has finished.
What always stands out in these videos is how rough and crooked the slow speed rail sections are. You really wouldn't dare to move faster on them, than some 15mph. This feeling is entirely absent in TSW 2, where slow speed sections are also silky smooth rails, just with tighter curves. To the topic, for me the highest priority is DTG finally creating a usable ATC implementation. It was broken on NEC, also on LIRR, and not much better on Boston. For me thats what will be deciding factor if to buy the new Harlem route.
Track noise is definitely DTG's weak points in my opinion. For lirr the m7 audio should be the top priority in my opinion
