February Roadmap - Q&a Thread

Will there be any update for TSW2 that supposed to be released for both games or the remaining TSW2 bugfixes before the next month's roadmap?

 

If there was any way of getting an acknowledgement that the xbox sound issue is at least noted that would be great. As a lot of people were posting about it before the forum merge and a lot of us didn't seem to hear anything back and were worried its disappeared down the rabbit hole so to speak

I'll re link my video just in case also

 

Can you explain a more deeper how the update process works and why DTG is giving priority at new stuff instead off fix things first.... There a lot off questions about this thema and it would be helpful to explain a little insider information about this. I believe there's so much misunderstanding about this and also and unfortunately there are many prejudices so please tell more how this process is going on what's fair to ask and what not as an user.

 

When can we expect (approx.) a patch/update to fix problems on Scotrail Express Edingburgh to Glasgow route?

 

Thats in JDs list above so will be discussed in the Roadmap stream.

 

One provides (short-term) revenue, the other one doesn't.

 

Will the "New" label ever disappear on every other route besides the four core TSW3 routes?

 

When will the gameplay issues for Clinchfield be fixed?

 

I hope the Add-ons Manager is in its final stages for Xbox and PS and that a release date is confirmed?

l also hope we see some updates to West Cornwall Local in regards to correcting the massive scenery flaws that Rivet made, as well as improvements to the Class 150/2?

 

Thank you

 

Will linke Rheinstrecke be the next DTG Route Release after the US Content according to the order on the Roadmap?

 

Can it be addressed in the stream whether or not Oakville’s passenger timetable is still coming eventually or if it’s cancelled. It’s been a year and it’s really suspicious that it’s still not listed on the roadmap article under special projects.

It’s okay if it’s cancelled just an official yes or no would be great, instead of the silence on it. If it is coming, it should be added to the roadmap article.

Thanks.

 

Late item regarding the save game. Improvements to restoration of the signalling state are noted and appreciated. However there is an ongoing issue where if you try and chain several runs together to recreate a driver's shift and save on a run subsequent to where you started, the clock and objective data (both the LH upper HUD and lollipop markers) fails to restore. Is thsi being worked on, please?

 

Will the updated versions of boston and sherman support my existing progress such as scenario completions and collectibles and will New York - Trenton have AI LIRR at Penn Station with Sunnyside Yard included?

 

Progress is not the case.... The routes will recieve only a cosmetic change nothing on the route it self....

 

I just saw that for the left Rhine route: Mainz - Koblenz the vehicles from the DB BR 101 DLC Avmz and Bvmz IC coaches are reused, which I personally don't think is bad. but I don't think Avmz and Bvmz IC coaches with red band are that good. at least give us a new old paint job for these coaches.

I would like the old IC livery

 

So much for hoping for UIC stock, then.

 

Will there be any deal on Acela for those who own the routes.

 

i noticed in the teaser images for the UP heritage pack that UP 1989 was missing the white reflector stripe on the anticlimber and step well, have you guys fixed that yet?

 

For the Northeast Corridor: New York – Trenton DLC what year is the NYC Sunnyside yard modeled from?
Will it have at new yard leads to Grand Central Madison Terminal? It was a 11 year project that went revenue service last month.

 

For Boston and sherman Hill, nothing is being changed in terms of timetable and scenarios. And no lirr was mentioned during the stream

 

Save game is still ongoing

 

The TMS faults on Scotrail was not mentioned, Will they be fixed?

 

With respect, question addressed to DTG not you.

 

I'm gonna expect they are going to say the same thing they said every time we asked them in the past. They might have a more technical answer but that's still the same as still ongoing. Just saying

 

Great roadmap tonight. Just have a feeling that I’d wish they would get all the problems sorted before releasing more products to add to them.

 

Why aren't you fixing the 150 and the stop markers on WC ?

 

• Avmz and Bvmz IC coaches with red band

Roadmap information (Better read first before asking)

 

Also two other things:
1. Will the outer most tracks be used at Trenton? (Tracks 5 & 2)
2. Will trains (timetable and / or scenario) terminate and / originate on tracks 5, 2 or 4 at Trenton?
I'm just interested in HAM interlocking being used for crossover moves, as it's common in real life.

 

DTG JD ,will it be possible to buy the expansion pack for the USA+the new USA route+ACELA as a bundle, but without the TSW3, I already have TSW3, and all the available DLC
It would be good to get a simple package with the new USA offerings

 

officially I have seen him say in another thread that the bundles on offer are the only ones. There isn't a bundle for just the new US content.
From personal observation depending on stores different bundles may appear further in the future.

 

I was a little disappointed in the answer to my question about Distance Field Shadows, to be honest. Shadows are the worst things about TSW, in my opinion, and from the sound of it, it seems like it could be a year or two before there's any improvement in this area. If it would make a large difference to player experience, with negligible impact on performance, shouldn't at least an investigation of that be prioritised?

 

Yes, we get that livery. It has been confirmed later on.

 

To be honest, I watched the stream while working, and I must have blinked and missed mention of the shadows. I saw it listed in the time-stamped section, and tried rewinding a bit, but failed to find it. What exactly was said?

 

But on the wrong coaches, which wouldn't exist for another two decades.

 

They did. Built beginning end of the 70s...

 

Um, no. the 106s and 284s were built 2015-2016.

 

Please read what I wrote on the thread about the route. They are the same coaches. They got modernized 2015-16

 

They were rebuilt in 1997, and again in 2003, and in 2008, and in 2015. By that point there was nothing left of the original coach.

You might as well say that CSX SD40-3 No. 4285 is the "same" engine as the SD-40 built in 1967. Like George Washington's axe: the handle has been replaced three times and the head twice.

 

I'm not surprised you couldn't find it, they barely spent any time on the topic. It's at 1:37:29 in the video. Matt said he's passed it to the Tech Art team and it's in a queue for them to look into. JD then confirmed that it's therefore "a longer-term thing".

 

How depressing. It ought to be priority number one IMHO. Certain times of day and certain weathers are almost unplayable because the whole scene (shadows/lighting/light and dark/occlusion) is just so messed up. The way eye-adaption has been set-up and implemented is just exacerbating the problem making it exponentially worse.

Frustratingly at other times the game can look stunning. Booting this particular can down the road is a mistake IMHO, it’s gone on far too long and needs sorting out, once and for all.

 

Hey so I saw that 2 months ago you guys were doing a US route expansion, meaning a route is to get expansion? I might be blind or you guys already showed the route expansion, if so what is it? Or what would it be?

 

It was the Union Pacific Heritage Unit pack, kind of a let down of what alot of us expected it to be.

 

Really disappointed with the shadows and the passengers answers, there doesn’t seem to be enough will to sort them over releasing new content.

there should be no tanking of the gen 9 consoles with these routes. I mean how powerful should a console have to be???

 

FACTS

 

Quick question: Has the profile transfer from PS4 to PS5 been solved?
Can't find it on the recent Roadmap anymore, and haven't kept up to date with earlier ones

 

No. Only ps4 to ps4. Ps5 to ps5 is how it is set up.
