There is a new simulation called "The Bus" coming to Steam soon. They did a preview stream a couple of days ago, showing the route planner they have included in the game. From what was shown on the video, it just looks amazing and seems to be much easier to use than what TSW has for example. I would just like to point the responsible people in that direction, to have a look at how they implemented it in The Bus, I think that could help to overcome a lot of the issues the current version in TSW has And not everything needs to be invented from scratch, I hope everyone can learn a bit from each other
One thing I just realised is also that it would make it much easier for DTG to implement the schedule that comes with the route. No need for hand typing everything in or running simulations (potentially ), this tool can take a lot of this work away if designed properly So not only a win for the players hopefully
