It’s unsettling to come across this in the explorable area. It could be taken for a ghost town, yet it also feels like an early simulation game.
Fair enough it’s part of the outside area that isn’t supposed to be accessible but that’s very lazy what Rivet have done there. They could have modeled the steel tram rails rather than re using train tracks and ballast. Looks like a mess.
Still trying very hard to like this route and was getting there after some enjoyable enough runs in the Voyager. Then tonight took the HST out for a spin and shortly after leaving Haymarket..... 00 Never had blurry textures on this route before now. Very disappointing.
I sort of disagree, it's outside the accessible area and in theory the tracks are only there so that the trams can run, the trams can be seen by the player but not the track. It could be argued that the time spent working elsewhere on the route was better spent than re-modelling tram tacks that 99% of players would never see.
A few weeks after the update, I finally revisited the route (been busy lately). Did a service with the Voyager and really enjoyed it. The lighting and foliage looked quite nice (have they always been this good, or is this new?). I definitely appreciate the added rolling stock variety, the voyager service felt completely different to the Class 170 runs I’m used to. Edit: Just remembered a bug I encountered with the Voyager exterior PIS. The departure time from Haymarket was somewhere around 10:50, but on the train’s PIS, it showed up as “1 :5 “. Maybe a core issue? Seems like it doesn’t want to display the zeroes.
Service 2G63 (Edinburgh Waverley to Cowdenbeath) - Xbox Series X. Not for the first time on this route, and since the recent updates, but this is the first time I remembered to record the service number....blurry textures all the way from Dalmeny which was bad enough, but then got to Cowdenbeath and despite doing all that was required the game just kind of paused at nothing so didn't get the credit for doing the journey. 46 minutes - and at least 30 of them already marred by the blurry textures - completely down the drain. This game is, quite frankly, an absolute embarrassment and feels completely broken. Play by play the joy of it is being sucked out of me and getting very close to the point of just uninstalling it. What used to be a genuinely fun game to play, just isn't anymore. DTG - do better FFS !
