I thought that I will post a list of things, which could or should be improved in TSW3 from my point of view. This list is only about the core game, not about the legacy content which will not be updated to TSW3 standard according to Dovetail Games. And this list doesn’t contain bug fixing, just things that currently are as they intended to be, as far as I understand. Since I only play German routes and due to this only own the German Edition of TSW3, this list is just about the German content of the game. Please feel free to add your own suggestions and wishes to this list, especially if you play the US or GB content. By the way, I enjoy TSW3 on a Xbox Series S connected to a 40" Full HD Television. And I have to say that I’m really pleased with most of the current state of TSW3, please don’t understand this list as some kind of DTG bashing, it should help them to see my wishes from customer perspective. User Interface Changing the color for selected items from dark gray to something more outstanding like yellow Getting rid of the useless banner “New” in train and route selection. Or if not, making it work like it should, so that the banner disappears after playing a train or route for the first time. Making the user interface more intuitive, for example the workflow from selecting a train to changing weather conditions before the start of a journey. Core Rendering of objects and shadows much more far away of the train and improving the overall viewing distance Avoiding pop ups of objects right in front of the train Smoothing transition point of shadowed and non-shadowed landscape Adjusting dynamic weather in a way that weather changes appear not so often and more smoothly and avoiding thunderstorms or snowstorms on nearly every second journey Improving eye adaption feature (which I like very much!) so that this is less bright if weather conditions are cloudy or foggy Adding textures in 1440p for players not using a 4K monitor or television. Making better advantage of Microsoft Smart Delivery feature, so that Gen8 always gets 1080p textures, Gen9 Series S gets 1440p and only Series X gets 4K. This would in my opinion help to get the best usage of RAM and GPU for improved performance. Route (Kassel – Würzburg) Improving tunnels in a way that there is no black spot visible in the tunnel’s entry right before approaching it Getting rid of the stopping points which must be hit perfectly in order to get a part of a journey or the journey itself finished. Or making those points more flexible Adding more passengers to the train station platforms similar like on routes with rush hour content. Currently the stations look very lifeless when reaching it, especially Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe Trains Improving LZB/AFB behavior of the ICE 1 so that the player can overrule both when slowing down or braking (like ICE 3 current behavior). Or providing a best practice tutorial if this behavior is intended to be. Adding destinations to the currently empty FIS selection of ICE 3 BR 403 Improving FIS in ICE 1 and 3 in a way that there is proper information displayed about the current route and no things like “Nicht einsteigen”, etc. Getting rid of the different versions of BR 185.2 (okay, I know this is related to the legacy content, but it is confusing having the same train with different features, like LZB is available or not) And as this is my wish list, I would like to add some wishes for the next DLC and how to handle the legacy stuff: New route: Rheintal Bahn between Karlsruhe – Baden Baden – Offenburg – Freiburg, ~140 km; (Or Offenburg – Freiburg – Basel Badischer Bahnhof, ~130 km). Including ICE 1 and 3 (maybe ICE4?), DB Regio trains and freight trains Porting Rush Hour Dresden to TSW3 standard as an extended version, for example Dresden – Riesa – Leipzig HBF Porting Hauptstrecke Hamburg – Lübeck to TSW 3 as “Rush Hour Hamburg”, extended with Kiel and Flensburg, including the new DoStos which are in use there (which would be kind of cool because there are separate trains heading from Kiel and Flensburg to Hamburg, which be put together to one single train on half the way at Neumünster. Would be very nice to be able play this) Hope this list is understandable and some kind of helpful.
