    TWS6 is probably coming our way soon.

    I play TSW for the immersive experience and would love to see a few small changes to make the world a little more alive.

    I'd really want to see a heat shimmer, especially for summer routes and even around the engine exhaust vents. Picture one is a hot summer's evening leaving Manchester Piccadilly. It looks incredibly but a little flat without a heat shimmer in the background.

    Ive looked for mods for a heat shimmer and even coding for Unreal Engine 4, but thats waaay beyond my skill levels.

    Picture two is an evening shot on the Buxton line. All thats missing is some bugs flying around the old timey lamp lights. The game currently has leaves that blow about and I'm sure it could be changed to have the same animation but for insects too at certain places. It would me magical.

    Im utterly loving the game so far and just my first suggestion(s) to make it even more immersive.

    Thanks

    Not unusual for the track to shimmer on a hot day, too.

    Though given the struggle the graphics engine has coping with the current workload, I would be hesitant about trying to add any more effects.
