    Looks like a new update is rolling out on PS4 and maybe other platforms as well. Will we get patch notes shortly?

    Just checked and we have new sky on BML (not checked other routes yet)

    Looks fantastic

    Edited - Looks like its part of core update rather than route

    Nice!
    We need to check though if any of the Preservation Crew updates have been added (hopefully) because they did say there was slots for March, April and May.

    Yikes, are you on a PS4 by some chance?
    This used to happen to me often, would cancel and download the update again and the correct size would appear.
    Waiting patiently like others to see the notes on these updates. And can’t wait to see this new sky :cool:

    The actual PS5 version patch is a core one of 519Mb and another for Brighton Mainline at 54Mb. So not a lot in there I don’t think. Let’s see when the notes come out

    how weird. My BML update said 5/6GB and then when it started it was just a few a hundred MB.

    couldn’t work out why 33gb was your total when the game was updating. Maybe total amount of DLC you have installed and it got confused before downloading.

    From the patch notes

    Added "Logout" button for Dovetail Live

    Anyone see this? There was always a logout button on the settings screen but I don’t see one added within creators club after the patch as mentioned here from the patch notes. I’m on PS5. I’ve also logged out and in of Dovetail Live in case it was my end, still nothing

    Is the new skybox just for light clouds or are heavy clouds affected as well?

    DTG include statistic rolling stock and the V60 and the 101 to SKA. As far as good. The bad thing it's for PC and Gen9 consoles. Not a good news for the big PS4 and Xbox One communities.

    It is a pity they does not include some static trains for PS4 and Xbox too!
    I remember - I believe it was last year but not sure - they included several static trains at Duren station.
    Including several ICEs, Talents but also freight trains.
    Those ones does not affected the performance at all.
    Unfortunately later, DTG removed them.

    I know the problem with the new ones now, are the IC wagons and the 101 which requires more resources.
    But for the older consoles, they could include the other trains they included at Duren as mentionted!.

    Please also notice if you have purchased the DB BR 187, and you run the new Scenarios created for it, there are some trains running, but also lot of static freight cars and others BR187.
    I did not noticed any problem on performance there either!.

    It is sad when you drive on a timetable or Scenario, and there is just one Talent or an ICE, mainly on Koln but also on Aachen or some other stations.

    So I believe they could include some static trains on Koln, Aachen, Duren Hbfs..., and some static freight cars on some of freight yards, for these "older" consoles. Of course not including the BR 101 and the IC wagons.

    What do you think about my idea?

    Hope they do it!

    I think they could, if they really want. Because it was possible at RSN, MSB and DRA.

    Yes, I suggested that due to they did it in the past!.
    Furthermore it is clear they can have static trains or not, for the same route, but on different consoles or PC, so this not should be a problem.

    It's the same with the length of northamerican freight trains. At SPG we had 50 car trains. At CRR and SMH 40 only.

    Yes, I noticed that.
    Even SMH as it is more "desert" like route, then I believe it might has less impact on performance.
    As there are much less "decoration" objects by far, comparing with SPG.

    Another strange issue, it is SPG it has 2 locomotive crew members.
    Which is right for all US trains.
    But on SMH, there is only the engineer in the cab!

    That might be fixed, adding a second one.

    And SPG has 1 unique thing. It's radio talk from the dispatcher.

    When TSW came out for consoles in 2018. DTG said, that SPG will not come out for consoles, because it would need to much Resources of a console. Then in 2020 with TSW2 it was possible even for last gen consoles. That means, that it would need more software optimization work to make the same things possible on last gen consoles.

    It seems

    Im confused with this Creators Club bug. I managed to stop the 1.73 update, should I hold back with this update for now until there is a fix?
