    I think sladkart explains it perfectly. The in-cab announcements aren’t the same volume as if I was hearing them in the passenger area, slightly quieter and not as clear. I feel like I need to turn my surround sound up every time they play.
    I understand that was a development choice though, to make it authentic as possible and true to real life, so I can’t criticise you for that as other players will appreciate that added realism.

    They are definitely quieter compared to the same level on (say) the AABS Class 350. Though not a bad thing as the constant repetition after each stop on B2C did start to get a bit tedious, particularly all the safety etc. spiels. I also tend to drive with the cab windows down so that does mean the louder traction and wind noise will drown out the announcements.

    Just for the record: overexposure and mistiness aside, I adore this route... yesterday evening's screenshot. The lighting is perfectly balanced! ;)

    Well, I finished the last of the scenarios last night. All ran perfectly, including the in-cab announcements, which were more than sufficient in terms of volume and clarity. Timetable is next. (PC) Gratifyingly, all my Raildriver controls also worked perfectly.

    I have to say I have fallen in love with this DLC, such an amazing achievement for a first DLC! From lovely scenery and lighting to some really impressive technology. Well done firefly!

    What’s better than driving a 375 along the Medway Valley?! Driving a 395 ;) the view is even better with the unobstructed windscreen! 395005 works 1T90 to Maidstone West.

    I genuinely could not be happier with this route, thank you once again Firefly :)
