During the scenario ‘ICE To Meet You’ as you approach Köln there is an ICE3M in a siding to the left. Some of the coaches on this train are discoloured - closer to cream than white - which makes them stand out like a sore thumb. I don’t know if this is intentional or a bug but it caused me to get distracted and to be emergency braked by PZB lol. Playing on a PlayStation 4 Pro.
I've also noted this bug on PC, It looks like there is some sort of shadow over the track, as if you look back at the player train whilst passing it happens to your train aswell.
This sort of thing is happening constantly on departure from/approach to Koln on PS4 pro in any train, there is a strange shadowing effect that is most noticeable if you are viewing the train from the front or side. I got a video, to be fair it's easier to see on an ICE3 but well this is the video I happened to capture and it's still clear what is happening. Of note: - Affects all trains, and is not limited to a specific scenario. - To me, on PS4 pro, it happens pretty much every time and on every path into/out of Koln although on this path it is worse than the others. - As you can see between 00.07s and 00.11s from the side the dark shadow patch seems to affect each carriage one by one. - With an ICE the train turns the dark cream colour mentioned in the OP. - I think it's related to an errant overhead wire pylon or signal pole casting an absurdly strong shadow, the reason I think this is because there is one specific area about 10 mins out of Koln where it briefly happens too (well, presumably it is brief because by that point the train is going so fast it only happens momentarily) and the only thing that these areas have in common that I can see is the line-side objects. Just to be clear: There is nothing above the train at this point that would cause that shadow, it isn't related to the strength of the sun changing as the camera moves, as you can see the ground around the train remains shadowed correctly, only the train suddenly goes dark. From inside the train nothing is noticeable, or at least I did not notice this happening on the trains I was in control of until I began observing the exterior in these areas of the route.
That’s a bit like the twilight zone you pass through just outside Reading on GWE, where all the light disappears in your cab. I’ve seen the cream coloured ICE carriages too.
