Come on guys. How long will this take. 17:43 at ebsfleet and either the stations managers haven’t paid their electricity bill (likely). Or someone has badly gone wrong and the lighting only switches on at a chosen time (very likely).
The current lights only turn on at a specific time. Dtg are looking at making it turn on based on the environment conditions which has been mentioned in the roadmap stream.
The lights at my local station seem to be on 24/7 ( except for the waiting room which has a push- button timer.) Maybe that would be an interim solution for TSW.
Agreed. Better that then no lights at all. I’ve played many open world games and other games that simulate day to night cycles. From GTA to Microsoft Flight sim. Gran Turismo, FIFA, Euro truck sim. They all turn the lights on at the appropriate time. The only other game that had this issue was errr train sim classic. Another DTG game…
Station lighting was always on until very recently here in the uk. So why dtg have always put them on a timer don't make sense. I have the longer lighting time mod and don't really notice the lights are on in daylight.
The lighting in stations across SEH has been changed to work on the brightness levels surrounding them, so this is fixed on our internal builds and we are including this in an upcoming patch. Thank you for your patience.
Given how the lighting values/lighting values had to be manually edited per route, I would assume it's not core but idk
It currently works on set times for the lights to switch on, which in certain seasons means it gets dark before the time to activate.
The fix coming would just apply to SEH as it is a per-route change rather than a general change to all routes.
